Death At The Grass Huts
Growing up in the vast Paraguayan wilderness of thorn trees, snakes, and unreached indigenous tribes that threaten his family's survival, Rudolf Duerksen takes the reader on a journey of the harsh realities faced by Mennonite settlers in South America. Told from the perspective of the first generation born to Russian Mennonite refugees that settled in the Gran Chaco, Death at the Grass Huts is a memoir about human endeavor and reliance on God's grace in the face of adversity. There are stories about making first contact with tribes to developing a thriving economy alongside them""stories about misfortune and great personal sacrifice to turning Latin America's "green hell" into a prosperous community. Along the way, Rudolf finds himself cutting wheat fields in Kansas to delivering groceries on the narrow streets of old town Basel in Switzerland""from loading a plane in Texas headed to South America full of cows to starting a home for abandoned children on the gritty streets of Asuncion. In the end, these poignant and often humorous stories serve to reveal our shared humanity and what's possible when following God's leading.
Business Ethics Rooted in the Church
What is the role of the church in relation to business? How can Christians be active business practitioners while remaining faithful to their religious convictions? What does it mean for Christians to do business in a context plagued with corruption? While the sometimes tense interaction between the church and business can be documented in multiple locations, the author's own experience of this dynamic comes from the context of the Mennonite churches in Paraguay. Though his treatment of the church and business arises primarily from this particular context, the issues addressed are relevant for a variety of circumstances.
What We Believe Together
Today, more than 1.7 million Christians are members of Mennonite-related churches. They are scattered across eighty-three countries. They trace their history to the Anabaptist movement, a part of the sixteenth-century Radical Reformation in Europe. What beliefs do these heirs of the free-church movement, only loosely connected to each other, hold in common today? This first-of-its-kind book explores seven convictions shared by these churches, now on six continents, who have always insisted that what they believe will be reflected in how they live.

Christian-Jewish Relations Through the Centuries
Christian-Jewish relations have had changing fortunes throughout the centuries. Occasionally there has been peace and even mutual understanding, but usually these relations have been ones of tension, often involving recrimination and even violence. This volume addresses a number of the major questions that have been at the heart and the periphery of these tenuous relations through the years. The volume begins with a number of papers discussing relations as Christianity emerged from and defined itself in terms of Judaism. Other papers trace the relations through the intervening years. And a number of papers confront issues that have been at the heart of the troubled twentieth century. In all, these papers address a sensitive yet vital set of issues from a variety of approaches and perspectives, becoming in their own way a part of the ongoing dialogue.
