Book excerpt: A heavy fog is hanging like a blanket over the skyline. Thick and damp, it conceals all evidence that beneath it, where people scurry like mice, there sits a vibrant city. Foghorns from the boats provide the sound of the river. Everybody is coming here and nobody is leaving. It is the morning of the 1930 World Cup final. But somewhere, hiding behind a tight hotel security operation, the Argentina players drink coffee. One man is more nervous than anybody else: Luisito Monti -- "the thug". He turns to Pancho and says, "I'll be damned if I am going to be a martyr for a game of football". It is not the death threats against him. He accepts those. It is the ones against his mother. Monti is paler than usual. And quieter. In a few hours' time, he will play in the first World Cup final. And somebody wants to kill his mother. . .

Download or read book Our Journey The Lessons We ve Learned written by Dr. Reginald A. Stone and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2024-02-20 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the true-life story of a country boy, Reginald Stone, who started his life in a small town in Virginia. After moving to Washington, D.C. with his family, he attended a Billy Graham Crusade with a neighbor where he accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior. Reginald has always said, “he was never the same again.” After attending Bible College, Reginald pastored a small church for little pay. It was during this time that God led him to meet his wife, Rose, at a nearby camp meeting. In the beginning of their marriage, he worked both educational and ministerial jobs. It was at his first full-time pastoral position that God began to call both Reginal and Rose to Latin America. When they left the church and headed to Mexico to attend a Spanish school to learn the Spanish language, neither of them realized all that God had in store for them. Just learning the Spanish language took faith for Reginald. The adventures had only begun in Mexico. Uruguay and Peru had so much more in store for them with building new churches, many miracles of God, and even being hunted by terrorists. Every day required trusting God. After leaving South America, the ministry of this couple was not over. God had more churches to be pastored, organizations to be led, and ministry schools to be created and taught at. The Hispanics of United States of America was their new mission field. This book concludes with eleven lessons that Reginald learned while on the mission field. These lessons teach ministers and missionaries valuable lessons to know before entering the mission field which are both practical and thought-provoking. Laugh and shed tears as you walk through the life of Reginald and Rose as they follow God's plan for their lives.

Download or read book The Americanist written by Daniel Aaron and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2009-12-18 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I have read all of Daniel Aaron’s books, and admired them, but in The Americanist I believe he has composed an intellectual and social memoir for which he will be remembered. His self-portrait is marked by personal tact and admirable restraint: he is and is not its subject. The Americanist is a vision of otherness: literary and academic friends and acquaintances, here and abroad. Eloquently phrased and free of nostalgia, it catches a lost world that yet engendered much of our own.” —Harold Bloom “The Americanist is the absorbing intellectual autobiography of Daniel Aaron, who is the leading proponent and practitioner of American Studies. Written with grace and wit, it skillfully blends Daniel Aaron’s personal story with the history of the field he has done so much to create. This is a first-rate book by a first-rate scholar.” —David Herbert Donald, Professor Emeritus, Harvard University The Americanist is author and critic Daniel Aaron’s anthem to nearly a century of public and private life in America and abroad. Aaron, who is widely regarded as one of the founders of American Studies, graduated from the University of Michigan, received his Ph.D. from Harvard, and taught for over three decades each at Smith College and Harvard. Aaron writes with unsentimental nostalgia about his childhood in Los Angeles and Chicago and his later academic career, which took him around the globe, often in the role of America’s accidental yet impartial critic. When Walt Whitman, whom Aaron frequently cites as a touchstone, wrote, “I am large, I contain multitudes,” he could have been describing Daniel Aaron—the consummate erudite and Renaissance individual whose allegiance to the truth always outweighs mere partisan loyalty. Not only should Aaron’s book stand as a resplendent and summative work from one of the finest thinkers of the last hundred years, it also succeeds on its own as a first-rate piece of literature, on a par with the writings of any of its subjects. The Americanist is a veritable Who’s Who of twentieth-century writers Aaron interviewed, interacted with, or otherwise encountered throughout his life: Ralph Ellison, Robert Frost, Lillian Hellman, Richard Hofstadter, Alfred Kazin, Sinclair Lewis, Malcolm Muggeridge, John Crowe Ransom, Upton Sinclair, Edmund Wilson, Leonard Woolf, and W. B. Yeats, to name only a few. Aaron’s frank and personal observations of these literary lights make for lively reading. As well, scattered throughout The Americanist are illuminating portraits of American presidents living and passed—miniature masterworks of astute political observation that offer dazzlingly fresh approaches to well-trod subjects.
