Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One Sunday morning, where I attended church, a cricket got inside the church building. It was very quiet until we began singing, then it decided to chirp as we sang. However, when we stopped singing, the cricket decided to keep chirping. We all got very tickled at that little cricket trying to chirp while the pastor was trying to preach. The louder he spoke, the noisier that cricket seemed to get. One of the members finally picked it up and put it outside. Even though it was outside, it still chirped loud enough for us to hear it. That's how this story came about. I hope you enjoy this story. After I wrote the first part, I realized that there are those of us who know God has called us to do a work, but His timing for that particular work may not be just yet. The moral of this story is to encourage you to earnestly pray before you do anything and seek guidance from the pastor or other leaders in the church. Tell them your desire and ask if they would help you pray or for advice on beginning the work. Discuss with them what you believe the Lord has called you to do, and then continue to pray until you know God's will. It may be that what you want to do requires some experience or training before you can do your best for the Lord. Sometimes we think we are ready to do something, but when others suggest we wait a bit, we can get discouraged. I encourage you to seriously seek the Lord and keep serving Him until you know in your heart what to do. I hope this book is not only entertaining but helps someone along their faith walk. Blessings, Ruby Weeks

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marguerite Thoburn Watkins memoir, Two Taproots: Growing Up in the Forties in India and America begins as the USA enters World War II and her missionary family, the Thoburns, is evacuated from India to America. It covers the next ten years of the authors life. Three peripatetic years in New England with their wartime scrap drives, rationing and victory gardens, culminated in a precipitous return to India while the war was still on. The departure was secret because, Loose lips sink ships. She is back in India for Indian independence, the partition riots and the assassination of Gandhi. But the story is primarily personal -- family, friends, boarding school life, experiences and impressions of growing up in two worlds. It is about formative years shaped by World War II, the last days of the British Raj, Indian independence, and by missionary life. The author was a professors kid on an Indian college campus and an American girl at boarding school in the Himalayas. Nourished, as she says, by English khana and Hindustani gana, by a rich stew of cultures and religions, and by the natural beauty of her homes, she describes herself as having two taproots, India and America. But she was also part of a third experience that was nourished by both countries, a third culture kid. She conveys the privilege, and challenge, of such a life, discovering, as do many expatriate children, that her country of citizenship seemed sometimes more foreign than the land in which she was born and that she is both at home and a stranger in either world. The authors great love for India is apparent. As a writer," she says, "I can put myself back into a picture and am surrounded by the sounds, smells, people, names I thought I had forgotten. Like shifting color chips in a kaleidoscope, forgotten patterns regroup and are mine again for a moment. The ongoing struggle for self-rule was a feature of her landscape in both Jabalpur and Mussoorie -- obstacle after obstacle, marches, arrests. When independence finally arrived, it came with a joyous rush but it came with partition, and the bloody partition rioting. The author writes: Suddenly we too were involved, and the Landour Muslims were in harms way. One particular night toward the end of August, students heard shouts and screams from the hillside across the valley, a sobering experience. Partition rioting had started in Mussoorie. Standing on the balcony in the afternoons, looking toward the Landour bazaar, girls watched the rioting far across the valley. We had a panoramic view of the Mullingar army headquarters on the ridge and below it the settlement of Muslim homes. We observed ant-like figures climb toward the safety of the Mullingar enclosure. To our horror, columns of smoke rose from burning homes. The flames from one large house lit the sky. Yet there was an eerie unreality to the scene; it was all so far away. We could see the destruction, but it was too far to hear very much. And too, we now had no news from the outside world, and little sense of how widespread and bloodthirsty the riots had become. Finally it was time for the author to sail back to America to attend Bates College in Maine. It was the end of her childhood. The memoir closes as a new decade begins, New Years Day 1950. It was the start of her next incarnation, life at home in her country of citizenship. I snuggled in, longing for my cat, and looked out the window at the snow and stars. In a few hours it would be New Years Day, 1950. I wondered what the new decade would bring me. And I thought about my two lives, the unknown one ahead in this home country that was not really home, where I felt like an outsider, and the one behind me in the country I loved, where I really was an outsider but did not feel like one. I had friends at college and family here who loved me but did not understand me. I thought about

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely regarded as one of the most important and influential sports books of all time, C. L. R. James's Beyond a Boundary is—among other things—a pioneering study of popular culture, an analysis of resistance to empire and racism, and a personal reflection on the history of colonialism and its effects in the Caribbean. More than fifty years after the publication of James's classic text, the contributors to Marxism, Colonialism, and Cricket investigate Beyond a Boundary's production and reception and its implication for debates about sports, gender, aesthetics, race, popular culture, politics, imperialism, and English and Caribbean identity. Including a previously unseen first draft of Beyond a Boundary's conclusion alongside contributions from James's key collaborator Selma James and from Michael Brearley, former captain of the English Test cricket team, Marxism, Colonialism, and Cricket provides a thorough and nuanced examination of James's groundbreaking work and its lasting impact.
