It encourages and supports missionaries sent to India, while at the same time refusing to convert the First Nation peoples of Canada who live in direct proximity to them. In the story, he portrays a community which struggles which chooses to retain its ethnic and religious integrity rather by closing in on itself against outsiders. Wiebe, a Mennonite himself, takes no measures to protect his faith’s reputation. The novel takes a starkly realistic look at the struggles of Russian Mennonites who emigrated to Canada due to famine and the onset of WWI. This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of Rudy Wiebe’s seminal work Peace Shall Destroy Many, one of the earliest works of Mennonite Literature published in North America. Admittedly, I struggled to find the relevance of a work of fiction in a history class, which traditionally would favor non-fiction materially. I had little awareness of this kind of writing, aside from the myriad of bonneted Harlequin paperbacks in our church library, until a professor selected Peace Shall Destroy Many as a text for his Mennonite Church History course. I would venture to say that the average reader in North America would either scratch their heads at this genre or recall authors like Beverly Lewis and Wanda Brunstetter and the abundant industry of Amish/Mennonite romance novels. Mennonite Literature, not a term often spoken of or written about in literary circles, nor is it a section that one might find at the neighborhood Barnes and Noble.

Look, I’ll never stop missing Hal, but this Subs Club my friends started to review suck-ass doms isn’t gonna bring him back or give him justice. Richtel is not a doctor (nor does he pretend to be), but that hasn't stopped him from tackling one of the most complicated and vexing topics in modern medicine: the human immune system. I was speaking with Matt Richtel, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of the provocative new book "An Elegant Defense: The Extraordinary New Science of the Immune System: A Tale in Four Lives" (William Morrow, 448 pp., ★★★ out of four). I was struck by the ease with which my interviewer spoke about the obscure disease and wondered if he might have a medical degree or, perhaps, a doctoral degree in immunology. Last year, I was chatting with a journalist about the outbreak of a deadly new fungal infection when I was compelled to pause the conversation. Ever since its publication in 1847, Jane Eyre has enthralled every kind of reader, from the most critical and cultivated to the youngest and most unabashedly romantic. But after she falls in love with her sardonic employer, her discovery of his terrible secret forces her to make a heart-wrenching choice. The loneliness and cruelty of Jane's childhood strengthens her natural independence and spirit, which prove invaluable when she takes a position as a governess at Thornfield Hall.
