Download or read book Amanda Berry Smith written by Adrienne Israel and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now available in paperback! This biography is the compelling story of Amanda Berry Smith, a former slave and washer-woman with less than a year of formal education who rose to become one of the nineteenth century's most important and successful Christian evangelists. Based on letters published in Christian newspapers, copies of her own newspaper The Helper, and numerous public records and documents, this biography puts Amanda Berry Smith's eventful life in a proper historical perspective, evaluating the significant impact of her deeds. It traces her beginnings as the child of freed blacks in antebellum Pennsylvania, her turbulent marriages, her search for communities and faith in New York City, and her eventual prominence as a camp-fire missionary and as a world traveler of spiritual faith. This thoughtful individual study probes the complex relationship between herself and other contemporary reformers, black and white, and answers many questions left unanswered by Smith's own autobiography.
Download or read book Le Renard Argent written by Paul Briggs and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-19 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sergeant Utley is good at two things in life: playing baseball and fighting Nazis. In Le Renard Argenté, he does both. The vignettes of Le Renard Argenté meld the Los Angeles Dodgers' 2017 and 2018 baseball seasons with the battlefields of World War II for a journey into purely speculative, deeply absurdist alternate history. "Space, the final frontier ... or so I thought, until I traveled to the world of Le Renard Argenté. This project looked deep within my soul, and my soul blinked. Like Chase Utley himself, it emerges from the foggy, hard-bitten quiet into a being of unexpected beauty, a testimony to tenacity and the adaptability of experience. Which is to say, it's a big smile." - Jon Weisman, author, Brothers in Arms: Koufax, Kershaw, and the Dodgers' Extraordinary Pitching Tradition "Ms. Smith hilariously takes you into a different reality to tell a story with perhaps the most unique of perspectives. Surreal and bizarre, ridiculous and hysterical. She turns the ultimate grinder into the ultimate Basterd." - Adam Amin, ESPN Broadcaster "Do I like the book? I mean, I don't dislike it." - Keith Law, Senior Baseball Writer ESPN and Twitter Bon Vivant

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Smith’s investigation focuses rigorously on the aesthetic complexities of these texts to demonstrate how, in a way even the authors themselves sometimes do not suspect, new ways arise of understanding their power of eco-criticism. [...] Smith’s contribution is this call, like few today, to awaken new energies in the literary and cultural criticism about the Amazon precisely because she has her feet grounded in the harsh history of the region, while her eyes are focused on different future possibilities for the region.'

Download or read book Amanda Smith written by Amanda Berry Smith and published by . This book was released on 2015-05-11 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amanda Berry Smith (January 23, 1837 - February 24, 1915) was a former slave who became an inspiration to thousands of women both black and white. She was equally at home in the slums of a large city, or the stately homes of the nobility. Redeemed, first from slavery and then from the bondage of sin, she traveled all over the world, testifying to rich and poor alike about the necessity and the power of a sanctified life. Amanda's autobiography is quaint and truthful. She painstakingly relates details of her life as a humble washerwoman cum evangelist, thus opening a window into her world which is of value and interest to Christians and non Christians alike. Living when she did, Amanda faced many obstacles in her faith journey. An African American woman preacher was bound to be anathema to many, even within the church, but this intrepid evangelist was consumed by the message of Christ's full and free salvation and was not going to allow prejudice of any nature to deter her. Amanda often abashed and silenced her enemies through a winning combination of truth, love, and utter devotion to the Master she served.

Book excerpt: The case was closed, but for journalist Nancy Rommelmann, the mystery remained: What made a mother want to murder her own children? On May 23, 2009, Amanda Stott-Smith drove to the middle of the Sellwood Bridge in Portland, Oregon, and dropped her two children into the Willamette River. Forty minutes later, rescuers found the body of four-year-old Eldon. Miraculously, his seven-year-old sister, Trinity, was saved. As the public cried out for blood, Amanda was arrested, convicted, and sentenced to thirty-five years in prison. Embarking on a seven-year quest for the truth, Rommelmann traced the roots of Amanda's fury and desperation through thousands of pages of records, withheld documents, meetings with lawyers and convicts, and interviews with friends and family who felt shocked, confused, and emotionally swindled by a woman whose entire life was now defined by an unspeakable crime. At the heart of that crime: a tempestuous marriage, a family on the fast track to self-destruction, and a myriad of secrets and lies as dark and turbulent as the Willamette River.

Download or read book Hearts Unbroken written by Cynthia Leitich Smith and published by Candlewick Press. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times best-selling author Cynthia Leitich Smith turns to realistic fiction with the thoughtful story of a Native teen navigating the complicated, confusing waters of high school — and first love. When Louise Wolfe’s first real boyfriend mocks and disrespects Native people in front of her, she breaks things off and dumps him over e-mail. It’s her senior year, anyway, and she’d rather spend her time with her family and friends and working on the school newspaper. The editors pair her up with Joey Kairouz, the ambitious new photojournalist, and in no time the paper’s staff find themselves with a major story to cover: the school musical director’s inclusive approach to casting The Wizard of Oz has been provoking backlash in their mostly white, middle-class Kansas town. From the newly formed Parents Against Revisionist Theater to anonymous threats, long-held prejudices are being laid bare and hostilities are spreading against teachers, parents, and students — especially the cast members at the center of the controversy, including Lou’s little brother, who’s playing the Tin Man. As tensions mount at school, so does a romance between Lou and Joey — but as she’s learned, “dating while Native” can be difficult. In trying to protect her own heart, will Lou break Joey’s?

Book excerpt: "All women, regardless of race, face a greater risk of poverty in their later years than elderly men, chiefly as a result of social biases and the failure of public policy. In this volume, the author presents her findings from an extensive study of low-income older women from around the country and features the detailed life stories of seven selected women. In examining central aspects of the respondents' private lives, the author describes the impact of poverty on self-concept, daily coping strategies, marriage, and caregiving." "This text offers recommendations for policy changes that are desperately needed to prevent and to ameliorate poverty among older women and examines the role of older women in social reform. Academics, students, policymakers, researchers, and professionals in sociology and social gerontology will find this volume a valuable resource."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
