This book was written for a very simple reason. Love for God's church. Jesus commanded us to be light in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation. And it's so easy for us as believers to get comfortable down here. This book is a call to every believer to leave the world and it's ways and embrace the way of the cross. To come to that place of simplicity which many of us had at our conversion. But just like Ephesus we have lost our first love.You will be challenged by it's content but may it as Paul wrote provoke you to godliness. We may not be able to leave the world right now, but the world can leave us!

In "Farewell, Babylon," Naim Kattan takes readers into the heart of exotic mid-19th-century Baghdad's then-teeming Jewish community. Jews had lived in Iraq for 25 centuries, long before the time of Christ or Muhammad, but anti-Semitism and nationalism were on the rise. In this beautifully written memoir, a young boy comes of age and describes his discoveries -- of work, literature, patriotism, the joys of lazy Sundays swimming in the Tigris. He also talks eloquently of his greatest discovery: women and love. This is a story of roots and exile, of thirst for life and life's experiences. However, more than that it is a tribute to a lost world, an ancient Eastern city in which Iraq's Kurds, Bedouins, Sunnis, Shiites, Chaldeans, Catholics, and Jews all lived together in a rough, rewarding sort of harmony.

Babylon is the city where the impossible becomes possible, where a dog can become a fish, where a blood-thirsty journalist can reach her morbid dreams, where a cop can be helped by visions and writers can be published if they become hitmen... Of course, there is a war, a few broken hearts and heads, a general madness and strange colors on the TV screens -- well, it is Babylon, after all, the city of the river Styx, where what you see is never what you get....

"Where lies the boundary between meaning and sentiment? Between memory and nostalgia? America and Americana? What is and what was? Does it move?" —Donovon Hohn, A Romance of Rust Part travelogue, part cultural criticism, part music appreciation, It Still Moves does for today's avant folk scene what Greil Marcus did for Dylan and The Basement Tapes. Amanda Petrusich outlines the sounds of the new, weird America—honoring the rich tradition of gospel, bluegrass, country, folk, and rock that feeds it, while simultaneously exploring the American character as personified in all of these genres historically. Through interviews, road stories, geographical and sociological interpretations, and detailed music criticism, Petrusich traces the rise of Americana music from its gospel origins through its new and compelling incarnations (as evidenced in bands and artists from Elvis to Iron and Wine, the Carter Family to Animal Collective, Johnny Cash to Will Oldham) and explores how the genre is adapting to the twenty-first century. Ultimately the book is an examination of all things American: guitars, cars, kids, motion, passion, enterprise, and change, in a fervent attempt to reconcile the American past with the American present, using only dusty records and highway maps as guides.
