Words are powerful. By changing a single word, the entire meaning of a message can be obscured or misdirected. God knew the power of words when He inspired the authors and translators of His divine messages in scripture. By carefully studying why certain words were used in scripture, we will find a deep ocean of interpretation and personal application. Come Follow Me: Words of the Week is the perfect introduction to a richer understanding of God's words. Prominent Latter-day Saint speaker, author, and educator Eric Richards clearly explains the etymology, exegesis, historical background, and modern revelations of significant words from the scriptures. Broken down into a few words per week, this guide makes studying the scriptures individually or as a family easier and more accessible. Discover the contextual meanings of words and phrases such as "wax gross," "born again," and "profane," but also deep dive into the significance of biblical names like "Bethebara," "Babylon," and "Jerusalem." With only a few words a week, jumpstart a year of joyous exploration into the scriptures, come to appreciate the power of words in your own life, and feel your testimony strengthen with every new understanding.

Pakistani migrant families in Denmark find themselves in a specific ethno-national, post-9/11 environment where Muslim immigrants are subjected to processes of non-recognition, exclusion and securitization. This ethnographic study explores how, why, and at what costs notions of relatedness, identity, and belonging are being renegotiated within local families and transnational kinship networks. Each entry point concerns the destructive–productive constitution of family life, where neglected responsibilities, obligations, and trust lead not only to broken relationships, but also, and inevitably, to the innovative creation of new ones. By connecting the micro-politics of the migrant family with the macro-politics of the nation state and global conjunctures in general, the book argues that securitization and suspicion—launched in the name of “integration”—escalate internal community dynamics and processes of family upheaval in unpredicted ways.

An invaluable guide to the fascinating origins of everyday words crafted into pithy annecdotes and facts.
