A Time for Every Purpose continues the series of collections of Eliezer Segal’s witty, insightful, and informative articles about the Jewish sacred calendar that originally appeared in his “From the Sources” column in the Calgary Jewish Free Press between 2011 and 2015. As always, the author strives to maintain a balance between accurate scholarship and entertaining readability as he introduces his readers to fascinating aspects of the Jewish festivals and holy days -- and how they evolved in ongoing dialogue with historical changes, geographical diversity, and intellectual challenges. The articles are written from a sympathetic but non-dogmatic perspective by a recognized authority on the academic study of Judaism.

The controversial history of sermons, the physics and philosophy of rainbows, lions in the synagogue, hares in the Greek Bible, the gold standard, God in human disguise—these are but a few of the many topics that are introduced in this lively miscellany of glimpses into exotic frontiers of Jewish literature, history, and tradition. In the present compendium of short studies, Eliezer Segal once again introduces the public to the fruits of Judaic scholarship, while employing a charming style that combines learning and wit. Chronicles and Commentaries is the latest addition to the author’s distinguished series of collections that includes: Why Didn’t I Learn That in Hebrew School? (1999), Ask Now of the Days that Are Past (2005), A Meeting-Place for the Wise (2008), and On the Trails of Tradition (2011). The new digital edition from Quid Pro Books features proper ebook formatting, active Contents, and all the illustrations from the paperback edition.

America needs to repent for the kingdom of God is at hand. This is a bold statement when the United States is considered to be the most powerful nation on Earth. Should we repent individually or collectively? In Why America Needs to Repent, author Pastor Dwane Massenburg explores the subject of repentance in today’s world, considering what repentance means and the pressing reasons why America should repent. He addresses a host of related questions: • How do we grapple with America being a predominately Christian nation in the twenty-first century? • Are Jesus’ teachings still relevant? • Are Christians allowed to be different now? • Has God changed his mind about what it means to be a Christian? • How should we act as Christians today? Based upon the Bible, the word of God, Why America Needs to Repent communicates crucial messages about repentance and its relevance and importance in today’s society. We need to repent because we work better together with God; understanding the love of God is the absolute best way to get us to do that. We need to repent because nothing else will work.
