Heirs to forgotten kingdoms : journeys into the disappearing religions of the Middle East / by Russell, Gerard.(CARDINAL)409316;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 281-300) and index.Introduction -- Mandaeans -- Yazidis -- Zoroastrians -- Druze -- Samaritans -- Copts -- Kalasha -- Epilogue: Detroit.Despite its reputation for religious intolerance, the Middle East has long sheltered many distinctive and strange faiths: one regards the Greek prophets as incarnations of God, another reveres Lucifer in the form of a peacock, and yet another believes that their followers are reincarnated beings who have existed in various forms for thousands of years. These religions represent the last vestiges of the magnificent civilizations in ancient history: Persia, Babylon, Egypt in the time of the Pharaohs. Their followers have learned how to survive foreign attacks and the perils of assimilation. But today, with the Middle East in turmoil, they face greater challenges than ever before.

Unashamed : a coming-out guide for LGBTQ Christians / by Cantorna, Amber,author.(CARDINAL)823294;
Includes bibliographical references and index.You are not broken : -- Demolishing internalized homophobia/transphobia -- Claiming hope : re-establishing your worth as a child of god and fostering self acceptance -- We need one another : building an affirming community -- How do I know if I'm ready? : preparing to come out -- Taking the leap of faith : coming out to your loved ones -- Boundaries are not disrespectful : setting healthy boundaries -- Am I worth it? : the value of tending to your soul -- "I love you, but..." : coping with conditional love -- If your heart is aching : restoring what's been lost -- Do you not know what the divine can do with your diversity? : embracing who you are.On a daily basis, author and LGBTQ advocate Amber Cantorna receives emails asking the same question: How does one reconcile their sexuality with their faith? Depression, despair, and thoughts of suicide often haunt LGBTQ Christians as they feel unable to imagine the possibility of living a happy, fulfilling life as an LGBTQ person of faith. As the gay daughter of a thirty-plus-year executive of conservative Christian organization Focus on the Family, Amber lost everything when she came out as gay in 2012. However, her journey to embrace her authenticity brought her fulfillment and wisdom to share. Unashamed serves as a guide for Christians considering coming out, tackling tough subject matters such as demolishing internalized homophobia, finding an affirming faith community, reestablishing your worth as a child of God, navigating difficult family conversations (especially in cases where family is involved in church leadership/ministry), and healing from the pain of rejection. Unashamed encourages LGBTQ Christians to embrace their unique identities and to celebrate the diversity placed inside them by God.
