An “amazing” true account of traveling with Bedouins through a drought-stricken North African landscape (The Boston Globe). Having journeyed in the past across Siberia and up the Congo, Jeffrey Tayler was well accustomed to adventure and danger. But even this experienced travel writer was unprepared for the physical challenges that awaited him in a Sahara desiccated by eight years of unprecedented drought. In this book, he recounts his travels across a landscape of nightmares—charred earth, blinding sky, choking gales, and what is fittingly called the Valley of the Dead—and manages to describe the trip with “hilarious, horrifying, and wonderfully edifying details” (The Boston Globe). The last Westerner to attempt this trek left his skeleton in the sand, and even Tayler’s camels wilt in the searing wastes. But his remarkable perseverance, as well as his fluency in classical and Moroccan Arabic, helps him find here a bracing purity. The Saharawi Bedouin among whom he journeys are untouched by the modernity or radicalism that festers elsewhere in the Arab world. By revealing their ingenuity, their wit, their unrivaled hospitality, and more, Tayler upends our notions of what is, and what is not, essentially Arab. “Beautifully rendered . . . Tayler’s guides provide constant entertainment.” —The Seattle Times “Fascinating and informative.” —Booklist
Describes the history, government, economy, people, geography, and cultural life of Morocco.
For the church fathers the Gospels did not serve as resources for individual analysis and academic study. They were read and heard and interpreted within the worshiping community. Among such sermons on Luke that have survived, this ACCS volume includes selections from Origen and Cyril of Alexandria as well as church fathers who addressed exegetical issues in theological treatises, pastoral letters, and catechetical lectures.
Simon, later named Peter, is a common fisherman in Galilee. A carefree braggart, Simon is devastated when his wife dies in childbirth. His call to follow Jesus changes his life. The Eye of God: A Fisherman’s Tale takes place during forty years of Roman rule by four successive Emperors. Simon Peter, now a “fisher of men,” is determined to save Jesus from a Roman crucifixion; but when he fails, he spends the rest of his days preaching Jesus’s startling new belief system. What did it take to draw followers to the dawning of a better world? The Eye of God: A Fisherman’s Tale seeks to answer that question.
