Treasured

Book Description :

A bold new history of the discovery of King Tut and the seismic impact it left on modern society. When it was discovered in 1922, in an Egypt newly independent of the British Empire, the 3,300-year-old tomb of Tutankhamun sent shockwaves around the world. The boy-king became a household name overnight and kickstarted an international obsession that continues to this day. From pop culture and politics to tourism and the heritage industry, it’s impossible to imagine the past century without the discovery of Tutankhamun – yet so much of the story remains untold. In Treasured, Christina Riggs weaves compelling historical analysis with tales of lives touched, or changed forever, by an encounter with the boy-king. Who remembers that Jacqueline Kennedy first welcomed the young pharaoh to America? That a Tutankhamun revival in the 1960s helped save the ancient temples of Egyptian Nubia? Or that the British Museum’s landmark Tutankhamun exhibition in 1972 remains its most successful ever? But not everything about ‘King Tut’ glitters: tours of his treasures in the 1970s were linked to Big Oil, his mummified remains have been exploited in the name of science, and accounts of his tomb’s discovery exclude Egyptian archaeologists. Treasured offers a bold new history of the young pharaoh who has as much to tell us about our world as his own.

Cigar boxes. Refrigerator doors. Scrapbooks and sock drawers and top shelves. These are the places we store our treasures–the keepsakes that tell the story of whom and what we’ve loved, how we’ve lived, and what matters most to us. God is a collector, too, whose treasures are tucked securely into the pages of his book: a golden bell here, an olive leaf there, a scarlet thread, a blood-stained cloth, a few grains of barley. Each of these saved artifacts reveals a facet of his heart and tells the story of a Father whose most precious possession is…us. In Treasured, Leigh McLeroy considers tangible reminders of God’s active presence and guides us in discovering evidence in our own lives of his attentive love.

In the autumn of 1944, around 70,000 people fled Estonia in the face of the Red Army's advance; most of them believed the Soviet occupation would be short-lived and they would soon be able to return home. A comprehensive study of a common yet neglected phenomenon, this book tells the stories of the hoards of valuable belongings hidden by these Estonian escapees. The sheer variety of objects, including those that remain buried, those that vanished, and those that were recovered, touches upon all levels of history, from personal memories to high politics. In essence, this work of contemporary archaeology not only reflects upon the intimate relationship between material culture and memory, but also demonstrates how events on the world stage can shape the fate of individual families across generations.

At least 95% of the Christians I know, have left the church due to an issue that took place in the church. It has caused 95% of those people to stop going to church, stop walking with God, or stop believing in God. I believe that God has his hand on that percentile. He's drawing them back to him, and desires a true relationship with his sons and daughters.

For centuries, Biblical scholars have attempted to prove statements of the Christian religion, yet today, there are still no definite answers in Christianity that provide us with confirmation of the true existence of the Trinity. Treasured Writings shares a unique introduction to God the Father and Jesus Christ who H. Th. Lilipaly says he received at the foot of the Cross of Golgotha-Calvary to confirm the absolute answer to the question: Where might we find a degree of certainty and be inspired by the principles of a high standard of Christian thinking? As Lilipaly explores questions about Christian Trinity, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as well as God's word, he also offers insight into how he came to an understanding as to why being a Christian and having Christian consciousness is entirely different than what Christ expects of us. Throughout the ages, Christian philosophers and theologians have tried to present to us the truth of the Trinity through formulas, doctrines, research, and contemplations of the Bible without ever presenting an intrinsic truth. Treasured Writings opens the door to the acceptance of principles that focus on the reality of God in the light of the Cross of Christ.

Do you know how God sees you? Moses is a key character in the unfolding narrative of God's Kingdom. A foundational leader of God's people in the Old Testament, he's held up throughout the New Testament as a man of God, in spite of his flaws. Yet Moses didn't always believe what God said about him. In this biblically balanced book, Terry Virgo invites us to walk in the footsteps of Moses so that, by faith, we can be ready for whatever life brings.

What happens when ritual practitioners from a small Pacific nation make an intellectual property claim to bungee jumping? When a German company successfully sues to defend its trademark of a Māori name? Or when UNESCO deems ephemeral sand drawings to be "intangible cultural heritage"? In Treasured Possessions, Haidy Geismar examines how global forms of cultural and intellectual property are being redefined by everyday people and policymakers in two markedly different Pacific nations. The New Hebrides, a small archipelago in Melanesia managed jointly by Britain and France until 1980, is now the independent nation-state of Vanuatu, with a population that is more than 95 percent indigenous. New Zealand, by contrast, is a settler state and former British colony that engages with its entangled Polynesian and British heritage through an ethos of "biculturalism" that is meant to involve an indigenous population of just 15 percent. Alternative notions of property, resources, and heritage—informed by distinct national histories—are emerging in both countries. These property claims are advanced in national and international settings, but they emanate from specific communities and cultural landscapes, and they are grounded in an awareness of ancestral power and inheritance. They reveal intellectual and cultural property to be not only legal constructs but also powerful ways of asserting indigenous identities and sovereignties.

I have dedicated this book to "those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life" (Revelation 21:27). It is not exclusive to those individuals only.

My life testimony is sufficient to change your mind about the love of God and the incomparable patience of the Lord when He sets His eyes on a raw precious stone, knowing that in His hands He will transform it to be a jewel in His possession.
