Book excerpt: A history of a college town, Davidson, NC, told in autobiography by an African-American barber who lived a 20th century of unparalleled change. Ralph Johnson, 96, caught in the poverty-ridden rule of Jim Crow customs, tells of struggles against disadvantage, unbelievable today, to get ahead. Of frugal, intense personal discipline, correspondence courses, self-schooling and hard work. As he moved into the post world war II years and his efforts began to find some success -- his 7-chair shop was one of the largest in the south -- he suddenly became the 1967 target of desegregation picketers who demanded he sacrifice his business to try to settle the centuries old curse of segregation. After a difficult, divisive struggle of a community with itself, Mr. Johnson's peacefully became the first publicly integrated barber shop anyone knew of in the South if not the nation and its demise followed shortly thereafter. Trying to understand what happened to him and why is a very personal puzzle in this eloquent, gripping life story as well as a life changing experience for any serious reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This authoritative reference work investigates the roots of the Sacred Harp, the central collection of the deeply influential and long-lived southern tradition of shape-note singing. David Warren Steel and Richard H. Hulan concentrate on the regional culture that produced the Sacred Harp in the nineteenth century and delve deeply into history of its authors and composers. They trace the sources of every tune and text in the Sacred Harp, from the work of B. F. White, E. J. King, and their west Georgia contemporaries who helped compile the original collection in 1844 to the contributions by various composers to the 1936 to 1991 editions. Drawing on census reports, local histories, family Bibles and other records, rich oral interviews with descendants, and Sacred Harp Publishing Company records, this volume reveals new details and insights about the history of this enduring American musical tradition. David Waren Stel is an associate professor of music and southern culture at the University of Mississippi. Richard H. Hulan is an independent scholar of American folk hymnody.

Download or read book Spectacular Rubens written by Alejandro Vergara and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The six glorious scenes that make up the Triumph of the Eucharist series by Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640) are highlights of the Museo Nacional del Prado’s superb collection of Flemish paintings. Completed in 1626, these brilliantly detailed sketches were painted at the behest of the Infanta Isabel Clara Eugenia in preparation for a series of monumental tapestries that are now considered among the finest made in Europe in the seventeenth century. Unfortunately, additions to the wooden supports, introduced after the paintings were created, made the panels considerably larger than Rubens intended and over time caused serious damage to the original sections. With the aid of the Getty Foundation’s Panel Paintings Initiative, the panels have been restored and returned to their original dimensions by the Prado, and the magnificent oil sketches can once again be placed on public view. This lushly illustrated and illuminating volume provides new insight into the history of the Eucharist series of paintings and tapestries and attests to Rubens’s exhilarating art. Spectacular Rubens is published on the occasion of an exhibition of the paintings, on view at the Museo Nacional del Prado from March 25 through June 29, 2014, and at the J. Paul Getty Museum from October 14, 2014, through January 4, 2015.

This book was released on 2009-10-21 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A masterpiece of contemporary Bible translation and commentary."—Los Angeles Times Book Review, Best Books of 1999 Acclaimed for its masterful new translation and insightful commentary, The David Story is a fresh, vivid rendition of one of the great works in Western literature. Robert Alter's brilliant translation gives us David, the beautiful, musical hero who slays Goliath and, through his struggles with Saul, advances to the kingship of Israel. But this David is also fully human: an ambitious, calculating man who navigates his life's course with a flawed moral vision. The consequences for him, his family, and his nation are tragic and bloody. Historical personage and full-blooded imagining, David is the creation of a literary artist comparable to the Shakespeare of the history plays.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Author David Harrison wrote his novella, The Legend of David's Amazing Harp, to help hurting and grieving people draw closer to God. The inspiration for this story came to David in a moment of anxiety and hopelessness a few hours before conducting his twin brother's funeral. He, his family, and friends needed some hope from the Lord to cope with their grief. That morning, David rose at five to walk and pray. He asked God, "Please show me You care." He needed a message from heaven to comfort himself and others. Suddenly, he heard the sound of harp music playing from above and in his heart. In that moment, the entire legend of David's harp filled the the author's soul with great joy and comfort. It was truly a gift given by God's loving grace-- which David sincerely desires to share with you."
Download or read book Too Many to Jail written by Mark Bradley and published by Monarch Books. This book was released on 2014-11-21 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1979, there were fewer than 500 known Christians from a Muslim background in Iran. Today there are at least 100,000 believers . Church leaders believe that millions can be added to the church in the next few years ' such is the spiritual hunger that exists. The religious violence that accompanied the reign of President Ahmadinejad drained its perpetrators of political and religious legitimacy, and has opened the door to other faiths. This book sets the rapid church growth in Iran in the context of the deteriorating relationship between Iranians and their national religion. There is a major focus on the Ahmadinejad years, but the author also covers the history of the church before 1979, picking up on the central idea that the spark may have become buried in the ashes but has never been extinguished. The book is careful, proportionate, well-informed and accurate. Throughout the text there will be boxes with stories of faith, persecution, and encouragement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from David's Harp in Song and Story The members of the Assembly at the time, perhaps, looked on a favorable response to this communication more in the light of a courtesy than anything else, and so appointed a corresponding committee. The question of her Psalmody had not been one of the agitated topics of the church, and few, if any, of the delegates felt that here was a proposition of serious import. The falling of the communication among such a body intensely stirred by questions connected with seminary control, was like the dropping Of a leaf in a tempest, yet, it was a leaf borne by a dove to the ark that told of the subsidence of the flood, and the reappearing of the forests and the soil that had been for months covered from sight. 80 may not this communication from two bodies of Presbyterians to a third, by a prophetic leaf, omening such a settling down of denomina tional agitations as will bring to the surface, as never before, the Psalms of the Bible, which have been so Often obscured amid the contentions over other important affairs. To this united committee from these three leading bodies of Christians this little work goes with its silent plea. It is sent to you that the Psalms may tell their own story. They come in no Spirit of dispute they do not propose to take issue with you on any of the questions of your Psalmody over which you conscientiously differ. At present they only plead for greater prominence in the praises of Zion. We are part of God's Inspired Word, they say to you, sent down from Heaven through the movings of the Holy Spirit that we may be sung in the praises of God's people. For more than twenty - five centuries we have been in the worship of the church, and what we have done in all these long ages, in comforting and inspiring the people of God, we are still capable of doing for the ages to come. Are you, and are your difficulties and dangers, and experiences, so different from your fathers who loved us, that you can afford to consign us to an Obscure corner in your Books Of Song We claim a high place in your material of praise.
