"God's got a plan for your life" is an aphorism frequently heard by Christians. But how do you discover that plan? The Spirit Said Go is designed to help believers find God's will. Using Paul's journeys in Acts as examples, Wilson discusses twenty lessons on guidance drawn from these journeys. Using his firsthand experience traveling along these routes in the Eastern Mediterranean, he reads between the lines offering additional insights into Luke's account. He also provides important geographical and archaeological information to illustrate Paul's world among the Jews, Greeks, and Romans. Wilson then illustrates each lesson with autobiographical vignettes drawn from his own spiritual pilgrimage of over forty years as a follower of Jesus. Friends and colleagues also share stories of similar experiences of guidance. Each chapter ends with reflection questions that help the reader integrate the lesson into Christian living. The volume offers an inductive Bible study combined with practical, spiritual insights regarding how God guides his people then and now.
Before the massive environmental change wrought by the European colonization of the South, hundreds of species of birds filled the region's flyways in immeasurable numbers. Before disease, war, and displacement altered the South's earliest human landscape, Native Americans hunted and ate birds and made tools and weapons from their beaks, bones, and talons. More significant to Shepard Krech III, Indians adorned themselves with feathers, invoked avian powers in ceremonies and dances, and incorporated bird imagery on pottery, carvings, and jewelry. Krech, a renowned authority on Native American interactions with nature, reveals as never before the omnipresence of birds in Native American life. ...
The study focuses on the mutual transfer of military knowledge between the German and the Ottoman/ Turkish army between the 1908 Young Turk revolution and the death of Atatürk in 1938. Whereas the Ottoman and later the Turkish army were the main beneficiaries of this selective appropriation, the German armed forces evaluated their (prospective) ally’s military experiences to a lesser extent. Through the analysis of archival and published sources and memoir literature the study provides evidence for the impact of this exchange on the armies of both countries and on the Turkish civil society. Indeed, the officer corps in both countries was a small but influential group of the society for the further development of their nations.

Turki adalah suatu dikotomi. Orang yang pernah tinggal di sana, akan merasakan betapa tajamnya dikotomi-dikotomi politik dan kebudayaan, konservatif dan liberal, pemerintah dan oposisi, Timur dan Barat, agnostik dan religius, nasionalis dan liberal, Islamisme dan sekularisme. Terdapat banyak cultural ghettos yang mendikotomikan masyarakat Turki dan menjadi runcing satu sama lain di ranah politik dan budaya. Ironisnya, pembaca “mata kedua” terjebak dalam cultural ghettos itu, sehingga kita yang di Indonesia, misalnya, cenderung menciptakan stereotype-stereotype mengenai Turki yang, rupanya, meleset dari kenyataan. Berangkat dari ironi tersebut, maka lahirlah Turki yang Sekuler: di Tengah ...
