To Drink From The Silver Cup

Anna Redsand was sixteen when she heard her mother say of two women who’d been discovered to be lovers, “They’re living in sin. They should see a doctor.” She knew in that moment that she would have to leave the security and intimacy of family, church, and home―the only world she had ever known. As that world faded, so too did everything that had been religious or spiritual inside her. The journey was to find what she’d lost—or replace it. Was there a faith community that could accept Anna as a lesbian, a doubter, and someone committed to social justice? To Drink From the Silver Cup is the story of Anna Redsand’s quest. It took her from a devout missionary life in the Navajo Nation into the shame and exile of being unwanted in the homeland, and then beyond through the uncharted territory of different religious, spiritual, and political directions. Always striving for authenticity, continuing to long for home, forty years after taking leave, Anna embarked on a deliberate experiment to see if return was possible―or whether too much had changed in her and too little in the church. In the past, most memoirs about conflicts between fundamentalist Christianity and sexuality have been written by gay men. Few, if any, have come to the same resolution that To Drink From the Silver Cup does. This is a unique and memorable story with resonance for both seekers and those who have never challenged their held beliefs.

This is a reprint of the 1869 second edition of Drinking Cups and Their Customs by Henry Porter and George Roberts. These two Londoners didn't like the new American cocktail culture, that was about to replace traditional British drinking habits. So they wrote this book in favour of old English Cups and Punches, including the story of their heritage and a couple of recipes.

In this book, Chandralyn A. Brown combines the encouragement and creativity of poetry with the Holy-Spirit-filled discernment of End-Time Bible Prophecy. Bible Prophecy is unfolding right before our very eyes on the evening news. This book provides understanding, and makes the connection between the scriptures of the Holy Bible and the various events that are happening in the world today. Ever wonder, what fruit Adam and Eve ate that caused curses to enter the world? What was the origin of religion? Why has there been such an increase in the intensity and frequency of earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters? Or why can’t Israel and the surrounding Muslim nations all just get along? Were the “gods” of Greek Mythology really real? Is Jesus really coming soon; and how can we really be sure? What is the meaning of 666? Prophetic Justice gives answers to all these questions and many more, and justly interprets the Holy Scriptures. The truth may hurt, but it is absolutely necessary to hear. The time we have left here on the Earth, as we know it, is very short. The prophecies and judgments of Jesus Christ, written in the Book of Revelation, are both Just and True. Only those who are found worshipping the Lord in Spirit and in Truth when Jesus returns will be counted worthy to escape.

In the early years of the 20th century, control over Tibet was contested by three major empires: those of China, Russia and Britain. The imperial powers and those who came in their wake - missionaries, scholars, traders and soldiers - employed local staff to assist in their dealings with the Tibetans, and these employees were in the vanguard of Tibet's encounter with the outside world. Yet they have been largely forgotten by history and most of the knowledge and understandings that they gained have been lost. It was left to a Dutchman, Johan van Manen, and hence an outside observer of the British imperial system, to preserve the impressions of three who served on the periphery of the imperial system. The three autobiographies that make up this book, crowded with ethnographical, sociological and historico-religious data, offer a unique insight into the world of the intermediary class. In addition to being interesting and entertaining, they are an important contribution to our understanding of the history of Tibet and its opening up to cultures beyond its own.

"So compelling it gave me goosebumps from the very first pages." —ISABEL ALLENDE A family saga: four generations of mixed–race African American, Native American, and Irish women experience intergenerational trauma as well as the healing brought by nature and music, leading to triumphant resilience. Mostly White begins in 1890 when Emma, a mixed–race Native American and African American girl, is beaten by nuns and confined in a closet for speaking her language at an Indian Residential school in Maine. From there, a tale that spans four generations of women unfolds. Emma's descendants suffer the effects of trauma, poverty, and abuse while fighting to form their own identities and honor the call of their ancestors. ALISON HART studied theater at New York University and later found her voice as a writer. She identifies herself as a mixed–race African American, Passamaquoddy Native American, Irish, Scottish, and English woman of color. Her poetry collection Temp Words was published by Cosmo Press in 2015, and her poems appear in Red Indian Road West: Native American Poetry from California (Scarlet Tanager Books, 2016) and elsewhere. Hart lives in Alameda, California.

In AU JAPON (1904), de Guerville recounts with mostly comical gaze—and perhaps a touch of imagination—his experiences in the Far East during the years 1892 and 1894. As the author himself confesses, “each of us sees things in our own way.” After a century, that of Monsieur de Guerville is worth rediscovering. In addition to translating the original French, DANIEL C. KANE provides a thorough introduction, a glossary of key figures, a chronology of de Guerville’s publications, and an index.
