Download or read book African Punctuality written by Gabriel Amoateng-Boahen and published by XinXii. This book was released on 2017-04-01 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africans, both home, and in the diaspora, handle time. Time is central, critical, and crucial to our human existence. The Creator-God respected time very much in the creation account in Genesis Chapters 1 and 2. Maximum utilization of time leads to development and progress. Conversely, the misuse and misappropriation of time are “friendly” to poverty. The twenty-four hours divided into three segments of discussion and analysis in this book tell the full story. Time is priceless and most valuable. It is key to our survival as a people. What is “African Punctuality?” It is more than you think. Read more about it in this book. Lord Chesterfield, a British Statesman (1694-1773), says, “Know the true value of time, snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. I recommend you to take care of the minutes, for the hours will take care of themselves.”
Download or read book The Secrets of Hidden Knowledge written by Ayub V. O. Ofulla and published by Abbott Press. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Secrets of Hidden Knowledge, author Prof. Ayub V. O. Ofulla presents the basic physics of life as it relates to molecular physical realities of life itself or social life as it relates to the individual. Grounded on physical, biological, and social sciences intertwined with information from ancient writings and scriptures, The Secrets of Hidden Knowledge provides the foundation to help you maintain order in your life, avoid or tackle situations that are chaotic and act as stumbling blocks, and embrace unavoidable chaotic situations and use them for innovative survival and faster progress. You can also come to understand how the basic nature of the physical universe is part and parcel of your life and realize the part of nature your life occupies and how it shapes you and your progress or failure in the world. You can successfully exist and change your attitude to live a peaceful, harmonious, and progressive life. Provocative and informative, The Secrets of Hidden Knowledge shows that ever-prevalent chaos brings failure. Thus, it is imperative to create a balance to only allow a bit of chaos to help us embrace change, conduct research, and innovate to help us progress and live more harmonious lives. This book demonstrates how we can learn from Mother Nature whose creative genius consists in nothing but perpetual ordering of chaos The book will both inform and inspire - Oliver Okoth Achila, JKUAT Scholar
Download or read book Sneezing Jesus written by Brian Hardin and published by NavPress. This book was released on 2017 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you ready to be human? Human. God. Two words that jar against each other and yet describe Jesus perfectly. Jesus was fully human and fully divine, which is extraordinary. But He was also ordinary in the most counterintuitive way: His life shows us what normal humanity is supposed to look like. Jesus came to earth to redeem humanity itself, and through Him, that redeemed humanity is available to us all. In Sneezing Jesus, Brian Hardin journeys through vivid Gospel stories, pointing to a revolutionary truth: If Jesus was a normal human living a normal human life, then His death and resurrection didn't just save our souls--it saves our humanity here and now.
Download or read book Tristram of Blent written by Anthony Hope and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 1927 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a rattling good story. Mr. Hope has often furnished us with tales answering that description before, but they were performances of a different order. Whereas his previous successes have been stories of incident, this is a novel of character. The vein of Zenda can easily be worked out, but the success of "Tristram of Blent" can be repeated indefinitely to a satisfied audience. It is the kind of story Anthony Trollope might write if he were abridged, reincarnated, brought up to date, and given a touch of the divine fire to vivify the carefully shaped clay of his puppets. Both in plot and workmanship the story is much better than any of Mr. Hope's former attempts in the same line. It seems to mark his achievement of mastery in this kind, and holds out the promise of an indefinite number of clever novels of social life to accompany the present generation on its way down the shady side of life.
Download or read book All is Never Said written by Judith Rollins and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With intelligence, insight, and humor, Odette Harper Hines describes her life—a life that reversed the pattern of the Great Migration by beginning in prosperity in the urban North and moving into the small-town South. Recorded by Judith Rollins over eight years, this intimate narrative is an unusual collaboration between two African American women who represent two generations of civil rights activists. Born in New York into a comfortable family, Hines' activism began I the Abyssinian Baptist Church in her teens and continued throughout her life as she witnessed the Great Depression in Harlem, worked on the WPA Writers Project, became publicity director of the NAACP, and volunteered for the Red Cross in Europe during WWII. When she moved to Louisiana in 1946, she continued to challenge racial injustice and risked her life to house civil rights workers in the early 1960s (Rollins, among them). She later started and directed the Headstart Program in her parish. Throughout this narrative, Hines describes her relationships with such figures as Mary McLeod Bethune, Adam Clayton Powell, Walter White, Thurgood Marshall, Ella Baker, Marcus Garvey, Claude McKay, Ralph Ellison, and many others. Yet Hines' memoir is not only about her public life. She courageously reveals her personal life and private pain. Twenty-eight photographs— mostly from Hines' family album—accuentuate this oral history that is, as Rollins states in her Introduction, "a complex and textured portrait of an extraordinary twentieth century American woman." Author note:Judith Rollinsis Associate Professor of Africana Studies and Sociology at Wellesley College, and the author ofBetween Women: Domestics and Their Employers(Temple).
