In the year following 7 October 2023, Samar Yazbek met with hundreds of survivors from Gaza, asking each of them about their experiences of that day and the months of destruction and displacement that followed. From these encounters comes Your Presence Is a Danger to Your Life, a selection of twenty-six testimonies from ordinary civilians aged thirteen to sixty-five, whose lives have been irrevocably altered by what may one day be remembered as one of the most savage military offensives of our time. Adapted from warning flyers dropped moments before a bombing, the books title captures the impossible reality of life for Gazans. That reality is laid bare in accounts marked by unimaginable loss homes shattered, loved ones vanished, limbs obliterated and mechanisms of cruelty that defy comprehension.

As palavras moldam o mundo. Formam vínculos, desvendam mistérios e, quando bem cuidadas, tornam-se lugar de encontro com o Deus que criou o mundo por meio das palavras.Em A verdade oblíqua, o inesquecivel pastor e escritor Eugene H. Peterson denuncia o empobrecimento da linguagem religiosa quando ela se torna tecnica, impessoal ou desconectada do cotidiano. Em contrapartida, ele nos conduz a maneira pela qual Jesus usava as palavras: de maneira indireta, por vezes sinuosa, exigindo dos ouvintes uma imaginaço participativa em meio a conversas vivas e transformadoras.Dividido entre as parabolas e as oraçes de Jesus, este livro revela como a linguagem participa da formaço espiritual, da vida comunitaria e da misso crist. Uma obra essencial para quem deseja recuperar a integridade da fe em um mundo saturado de discursos, mas carente de verdade vivida.
