Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You will enjoy this fascinating story of Camp Oak Hill's 40 year journey, done with a blending of historical data and colorful personal testimonies from 100 campers, counselors, board members and others. You will recognize that this place, these programs and these people called Camp Oak Hill (COH) are a blessing. From serene morning watch to rambunctious Run for the Roses, campers find fun, faith and friendships. A camper cried out: "I had the best 2 weeks of my life. I grew closer to God; I met so many amazing people." A counselor tattles that "my brothers lived for their time at camp, as if a week at COH was the motivation to get through the rest of the year." A retreat leader was awed by "the number of kids who made first time decisions for Christ... honestly I have seen over and over that something powerful happened in those kids' lives." COH has a longing to shape and mold the younger generation. Campers see Christian counselors having tons of fun and living life to the max. Camp is synonymous with friendships: "I'm amazed now at 40 years of age, the extent that my time and relationships formed at camp still shape my life." The activities, meals, quiet time, campfires and devotions fill a camper's time, but their counselor's and God's love fills their hearts. You begin to sense the wonder and power of the "little camp that could." "Look what God has done" (Numbers 23:23) - it's more than a week at camp!

Book excerpt: Untangled takes the reader on a swirling tour of some of the most beautiful places in the Caribbean but also of the region's gruesome history. The eye of love searches the landscape in the wake of colonialism and the grim traffic of bodies and souls across the Middle Passage. Evoking everything from birdcalls to colorful festivals, missionaries' blunders to tasty traditional feasts, Joy Rudder is intimately knowledgeable of her home, which spans the entire Caribbean. She voices heartbreaking questions that most do not venture to ask. But her pain is transformed into poetry, her outrage into prayer. She finds that Christ has preceded her and is very present in her multi-ethnic, multi-religious native Trinidad. Christ is also present in her adopted home, politically correct and trendy Vancouver, on the west coast of Canada. She discovers love in unusual places, delights in friendships with strangers, and kneels to worship in a frat house bathroom. She muses on the grandeur of natural places she has been privileged to see in North America and the Caribbean, yet she unearths disturbing visions. In the end, she finds peace at the last, beyond her troubled quests, in the lived reality of hope.

An exclusive network of powerful men seeking control in the Church of England.A shared secret of abuse that casts a dark shadow over a whole generation of Christian leaders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new history of school desegregation in America, revealing how girls and women led the fight for interracial education The struggle to desegregate America's schools was a grassroots movement, and young women were its vanguard. In the late 1940s, parents began to file desegregation lawsuits with their daughters, forcing Thurgood Marshall and other civil rights lawyers to take up the issue and bring it to the Supreme Court. After the Brown v. Board of Education ruling, girls far outnumbered boys in volunteering to desegregate formerly all-white schools. In A Girl Stands at the Door, historian Rachel Devlin tells the remarkable stories of these desegregation pioneers. She also explains why black girls were seen, and saw themselves, as responsible for the difficult work of reaching across the color line in public schools. Highlighting the extraordinary bravery of young black women, this bold revisionist account illuminates today's ongoing struggles for equality.
