Book Description

On April 10 ^th, 2003, the 1 ^st Battalion, 5 ^th Marine Regiment, faced with the task of seizing the presidential palace in downtown Baghdad, ran headlong into what Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North called, "the worst day of fighting for U.S. Marines." Hiding in buildings and mosques, wearing civilian clothes, and spread out for over a mile, Saddam Hussein's militants rained down bullets and rocket propelled grenades on the 1 ^st Battalion. But when the smoke of the eight-hour battle cleared, only one Marine had lost his life. Some said the 1 ^st Battalion was incredibly lucky. But in the hearts and minds of the Marines who were there, there was no question. God had brought them miraculously through that battle.

As the 1 ^st Battalion's chaplain, Lieutenant Carey Cash had the unique privilege of seeing firsthand, from the beginning of the war to the end, how God miraculously delivered, and even transformed, the lives of the men of the 1 ^st Battalion. Their regiment, the most highly decorated regiment in the history of the Marines, was the first ground force to cross the border into Iraq, the first to see one of their own killed in battle, and they were the unit to fight what most believe to have been the decisive battle of the war-April 10 ^th in downtown Baghdad. Through it all, Carey Cash says, the presence of God was undeniable. Cash even had the privilege of baptizing fifty-seven new Christians-Marines and Sailors-during the war in Iraq.

The men of the 1 ^st Battalion came to discover what King David had discovered long ago--that God's presence could be richly experienced even in the presence of enemies. Here is the amazing story of their experience.

love the book.......2007-05-16

I am reading the book, A Table in the Presence, and just discovered I knew the author's parents in Northern Virginia 30 years ago. The book is wonderfully written and tells a story that needs to be told of God's presence with the troops in Iraq. We need more TRUE accounts such as this one so the citizens of our country are aware of the peace God gives even in the middle of a war. I knew the author's mother as a wonderful Christian woman.

Great book.......2007-05-12

This is one of the best books I have read!

Thank God for men like these!

Brilliant and Moving........2007-04-09

I love this book. If you ever want to know what it is like for the guys who are going through the horrors of war in Iraq and Afghanistan this is definitely a book to read. It reveals the sensitivity of the author to the plight of the Marines under his care, the courage and vulnerability of these same Marines and their unyielding faith in the face of danger and the enemy. Very spiritual and emotional read. I dare you to read this and not feel a peculiar wetness in your eyes and a lump in your throat. This is one of those books that tugs at your heart because of the details of the truth. For both the faithful and those who are still searching for a faith.

Makes you proud.......2007-02-08

This was such a refreshing look at the realities of life in the war zone know as Iraq. This is an unadultary look at the life of a Marine Chaplain and the fine men and women he serves in the hell know as Iraq. It was a great book to read as a pastor and even a better book to give to a young husband and father as he shipped out to serve our country in Iraq. Buy it Read it, before you believe the next story from the news media, about why we need to cut and run

A good book from someone who was there........2007-01-04

This is a medium to smallish sized war memoir written by a Navy Chaplain who was attached to a section of Marines at the beginning of Gulf War 2. It is well written and relatively easy to read. The conclusion may leave you wanting to ask, "What happened next?" Of course, the war is still being waged at this time. I met the author and he is what you would expect of an officer, gentleman, and man of God. I enjoyed it and got another copy for my dad. Enjoy!

Book Description

“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.”
–Psalm 23:5

There are some places where you just don’t expect to find God. For the men of the 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, downtown Baghdad was one of those places. Moving into the heart of Iraq and ever deeper into enemy territory, they found themselves face-to-face with the ruthless Iraqi Republican Guard and Fedayeen militia. But when the smoke cleared, God’s touch was clearly visible.

Serving as a chaplain to the U.S. Marines, Lieutenant Carey Cash had witnessed the miracles that began in the desert of northern Kuwait, and found their culmination in one of the fiercest battles of Operation Iraqi Freedom. With vivid detail and gripping emotion, Lt. Cash gives a firsthand account of this amazing story–how the men of an entire battalion found God in the presence of their enemies.

Absolutely amazing book.......2007-10-15

This is an absolutely amazing book. As a follower of Christ and a military officer, I highly recommend this book. I am buying a copy for a friend who is deploying, praying that he will also experience the Presence of God in the mist of otherwise terrifying circumstances as Lt Cash and the 1/5 Marines did.

Truth Revealed.......2007-07-08

Thanks to Lt. Cash for his service and his real life account of God's presence in the midst of war. It's encouraging to read and to know that God truly provides in the midst of our enemies. His story sheds light and truth on the real everyday trials of the war; on the frontline as well as the behind the scenes of the war. This book is refreshing to read, in that it is truth being lived out and responsibly reported. If you want truth, hope, and encouragement I highly recommend this book.

Great Book.......2007-05-16

This book is a pretty good book. This book is about a chaplain's experience with a Marine Bn during the initial invasion of Iraq. The book flows really easily from page to page. A person will get lost in the tales. It is told in such a way the reader will almost feel the fear, heat, and the excitement of victory.

The book is a good picture of the war from the Battalion level. Most books are from the soldier level. While that is important this book adds something to that picture. It tells a little of the complexity of moving 800 people down the road to fight the enemy. The author was a chaplain. At that level he would have had a great deal of freedom to move around to see events. Few staff officers would have his unique perspective of seeing so many soldiers in the heat of battle.

The author does offer a religious perspective from the ground level. This is something the book offers that most books don't. A reader can see how violence and death can focus a person's perspective on things eternal. The book shows that a person's thought on things eternal is never as clear as it is in battle. The Christian will really love his stories of faith in individual Marine's life. Those stories really clearly paint the picture of how the hand of God helped those Marines and can help each of us. The author also does properly accent his points with the right scriptures from the bible.

I think most readers will enjoy this story no matter what their religious perspective. It has something for everyone.

Should be Required Reading for schools/colleges and Congress.......2007-05-03

This has got to be the best book I have read. I have read a lot. This book captured my attention and only sleep made me put it down. The reality of war is shared first hand along with the Presence of God amidst the war. It is not blood guts and gore, but true reality told in a spiritual Christian way. Since the start of the war on terrorism in 2003 we have seen and heard many negative stories, it is finally heart soothing to read something positive and quite inspiring for those who have lost or doubt their faith in this war.

Must Read for Parents and Spouses.......2007-01-12

This book was given to my brother, an Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran, as a Christmas gift. He could not read it because the memories were still too fresh and too disturbing. So he let me have first crack at it. I have since bought numerous copies and given them away to Marines, their wives, their parents and military supporters in the civilian community. At least one of those has gone on the buy multiple copies to share also.

This book is so powerful because it shares the amazing presence of God witnessed by American warriors in Iraq. I particularly like how the book is structured so that the author, a navy chaplain shares a Bible story with the reader and then parallels it with a similar first hand experience his Marine had in Iraq. If you wonder if prayer matters, this book will forever convince you that prayer makes a difference. Buy the book. Read it. And share it with others.

Product Description

This volume deals with the genesis of selected classical Arabic texts as the products of different milieus, and the implications which these texts had for Islamic societies in medieval times.

It explores the concepts and images which Muslim scholars from the 8th to the 14th century presented in their writings and, in particular, ponders the ways in which these authors used specific methods of portrayaleither overtly or more subtlyto advance their ideas.

The fresh theoretical and methodological approaches applied in this book facilitate the understanding of how medieval Muslim writers expressed their views and, more importantly, why they expressed them in the way they did. This helps disclose, for example, how the images of historically or religiously significant figures in Arabic-Islamic culture have been developed and shaped in the process of their "literarization."

Readership: All those interested in Classical Arabic literature and the intellectual history of Islam, including such areas as religion, history, philosophy, ethics, and education; as well as those interested in the development of religion, culture, literatures, and societies in the Arabic Middle East in general.

Outdated.......2003-02-20

This book is not worth the money. It has outdated information and in my opinion is poorly written. Save your money.

A good first book........2000-03-13

I found this book to be a good introduction to Satellite TV. It was an easy read. I think I went through the whole thing in a weekend. The first half of the book is pretty general. The second half is focused more on specific home satellite TV systems (I skimmed this part). The book comes with a CD-ROM which has color copies of many of the books figures.
