This book attempts to develop a theological response to the suffering of people in Myanmar (Burma). For this purpose; a Burmese word Ludu is used to indicate the common people and a Buddhist term Dukkha will be employed to refer to their suffering. We can see the Ludu as a dukkha-ridden people in Myanmar context. Why do they suffer? Is their suffering the root cause of sin or the consequence of kamma – one’s deed; word or thought? As a Buddhist-dominated country; how do Buddhists respond their suffering? What about Christian minority’s response to this harsh situation? Can the Ludu; both Christians and Buddhists; see how God is revealed in the midst of their suffering? In terms of suffering under oppression; Minjung (people/mass) in the Korean context is somewhat similar to the situation of the Ludu in Myanmar. In the 1970s; Minjung theology emerged during the era of military dictatorship in South Korea. How can Minjung theology be relevant for evolving a Ludu theology in Myanmar?

BorenThis is another masterpiece of information from Award Winning Colonel Seabrook; who has written over 40 volumes on the subject of America in it's antebellum; Bellum; and post-bellum years. This book contains many of the points of information covered in his previous books; so I'm not sure I learned anything new; having read many of them already.But what is nice about this book in particular is the way it is presented. It is essentially 190 pages of "bullet points". It asks the question.. "did you know"... and then proceeds to answer it in a page or two; and then going on to the next"Did you know".For example: Did you know that the South fought to preserve the Constitution while the North fought to overturn it? Did you know that the North; not the South; started the so called "Civil War"? Did you know that the war was not over slavery; but rather Lincoln's plan to install Big Government in Washington.Did you know that Confederate President Jefferson Davis was a political Conservative who adopted a black child during the War and was already committed to abolishing slavery in early 1865; months before the War ended? Or that President Lincoln was a political Liberal who barred blacks from the white house; consistently blocked black civil rights; used the "N" word routinely; and wanted to deport all blacks out of America to their own black State?As the author states; these mostly unknown facts are concealed from us because exposing them would reveal the truth about the Civil War; namely that it was an illegal and unnecessary conflict started by left wing progressive Abraham Lincoln in an attempt to install big government in Washington. This book reveals a 150 year conspiracy to supress the facts about the War; exploding hundreds of falsehoods and myths that have been presented as "true history".1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Will be Reading more from this author...By J. KruizengaA wonderful read! Eye-opening to be certain. Makes absolute sense... unless you choose to believe the liberal media. Why is the South repeatedly subject to ridicule; humiliation and lies? This book will tell you. It has certainly given me a lot to think about. As well it should. I couldn't put the book down. Mr. Seabrook makes some great arguments that I wholeheartedly agree with. I will be reading more books by this author.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A Great Book!By Jacqueline A.
