Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story is without a doubt inspired by God based upon (Jer. 1:5; Eccl. 3:1-8; Rom. 8:28). God inspired me and convinced me that my life is an open book, that he wants me to share with the world. Moreover, I am compelled to be a witness to all the world that God is a specialist in all things. I am compelled to convince and persuade people that there is more to their life than what others' say. God has always had a plan for us, but sometimes it takes someone who has experienced a miraculous transformation to be a witness of that. From the Cotton Field to the Pulpit is a biography of a young man with a rich cotton field mentality that manifests into a spiritual pulpit mentality. Moreover, this is God's plan to bring glory unto himself. In addition, it is designed to inspire and influence others that God is a specialist and a miracle worker. You just have to trust him (Prov. 3:5-6) that great is his faithfulness (Lam. 3:21-23). It is my prayer that someone is inspired and will not give up or throw in the towel without giving God a try at your life. Moreover, all of our lives have meaning and purpose; we just need someone to help us find our purpose and reason, and that person is God (Matt. 19:26). With much love, Rev. Dr. Albert Joe Harris Jr.

Download or read book From Cotton Fields to Mission Fields written by Fred M. Allen and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-02-18 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a thirteen year old boy on an East Texas farm, Fred M. Allen read a book about explorer/missionary David Livingstone and was mesmerized. Many years later, he stood at the edge of the mighty Victoria Falls and gazed upon a statue of Livingstone. By then, Allen had spent a lifetime in service for the Lord. From Cotton Fields to Mission Fields reveals the experiences that led Allen to make it his mission to spread God’s Word, beginning with his boyhood in Texas and extending to his decades of work as a missionary in Zambia. Allen began writing his stories for family and friends but realized how much his words could inspire others, after being given a column in a weekly newspaper. Then his brother, Duane Allen of the musical group “The Oak Ridge Boys,” offered to share his stories on social media. Over and over, people asked, “Are these stories in a book?” In this inspiring Christian memoir, Allen looks back on his life, collecting those stories in one place. His experiences highlight the importance of faith, hard work, and walking the path that God intended.

Download or read book Who Am I And Who Says I Am Who I Am written by Pastor Albert J. Harris Jr. and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once again, God continues to remind me that my life is a lifetime of untold stories that I must share with the world. It is God who inspires the stories for me to tell to the world. As God was preparing my mind to write this story, I personally had experience many of the things that I talk about in this book. There is one thing that I have accepted as I wrote this book, and that is, "For in God we live, and move, and have our being" (Acts 17:28). I'm just saying that God is the source of our very existence. This is why, I practice believing "that I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me" (Phil. 4:13). I want you to know that what God does for one person, he can do the same for you. That is the purpose of this book: to give hope to those who are hopeless and helpless. I believe that we need to get to know ourselves because we don't know ourselves as well as we think we do. But I know someone who knows all of us better than we know ourselves (Jer. 1:5). Let me encourage and inspire someone that the one who knows you better that you know yourselves is Jesus. He also has your best interest at heart. I recommend that we consider submitting, and surrendering to him because he is the life that we've all been searching for (John 1:1–14).So it is, my brothers and my sisters, when you come to know who Jesus is, you will also come to know who you are. When God made you, he made the best you there is. So it is up to you not to lose hope nor your self-esteem, but you ought to continue your pursuit of being the best that you can be with God's help. Jesus gives this hope to all those who will believe and trust him. In John 10:10b, Jesus says, "I come that you have life, and have life more abundantly." My brothers and my sisters, it is my prayer that you be the best that you can be with the resources that God provides, for all of us. Every day that you wake up, it is another for improvement in your life. Please don't let life's opportunities pass you by, but start taking advantage of every opportunity that comes your way because life is too short to pass it up.Stop underestimating your worth. God said that everything that he made was good and very good that includes you and me, amen (Gen. 1:31).With much love, I send these pages of my life out into the world with the hope that someone's life will be the better. Also, I want to remind someone that their life also is a book, whether it's open are closed, it can be shared with the world. It's a wonderful thing to know that we reap what we sow. In other words, what goes around comes around. Amen. When we invest in others, we also invest in ourselves (Gal. 6:7–8).May God always bless and keep you.

Download or read book The 50 MGM Films that Transformed Hollywood written by Steven Bingen and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Movies don’t exist in a vacuum. Each MGM movie is a tiny piece of a large, colorful (although often black-and-white) quilt, with threads tying it into all of the rest of that studio’s product, going forward, yes, but also backward, and horizontally, and three-dimensionally across its entire landscape. Not necessarily a “best of” compilation, this book discusses the films that for one reason or another (and not all of them good ones) changed the trajectory of MGM and the film industry in general, from the revolutionary use of “Cinerama” in 1962’s How the West Was Won to Director Alfred Hitchcock’s near-extortion of the profits from the 1959 hit thriller North by Northwest. And there are the studio’s on-screen self-shoutouts to its own past or stars, in films like Party Girl (1958), the That’s Entertainment series, Garbo Talks (1984), Rain Man (1955), and De-Lovely (2004), or the studio’s acquisition of other successful franchises such as James Bond. But fear not—what we consider MGM’s classic films all get their due here, often with a touch of irony or fascinating anecdote. Singin' in the Rain (1952), for example, was in its day neither a financial blockbuster nor critically acclaimed but rather an excuse for the studio to reuse some old songs it already owned. The Wizard of Oz (1939) cost almost as much to make as Gone With the Wind (also 1939) and took ten years to recoup its costs. But still, the MGM mystique endures. Like the popular Netflix series The Movies that Made Us, this is a fascinating look behind the scenes of the greatest—and at times notorious—films ever made.

This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each one of us has a plan that God has allowed in our lives, which may include suffering, loss, disease, disabilities, abuse, hardship, rejection, and persecution, and you are left with asking God many questions: Why? How long? and Where are You? After your battle is over, and the dust settles, you will have your answers and even wonder how you are still standing in victory amid the scars and wounds you bare. Before endurance, we must have faith, and our faith is what enables us to endure. As believers, we may experience life events that seem to destroy us at the core of our being, causing us to faint and lose hope. As you read these chapters, your perspective of the events in your life, in the lives of your family and friends will change. You will be encouraged to have faith and endure every situation, knowing the Lord has never left you nor forsaken you. God's love for you is so great, which causes us to endure because His plans for us are good and our hope is in Him. aEURoeHow do you stand during the trials and tribulations that are experienced during the course of your life?

This book was released on 2022-01-31 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Great Depression, James Fortinberry started kindergarten in Arizona. Soon after, his family moved to Arkansas to become tenant farmers. While working in the cotton fields, young James plowed behind a mule, picked cotton, sometimes attended school, and moved about every two years with his ten siblings and parents—eventually ending up in Mississippi. But it was not until he had his first encounter with God one night that James’s path in life began to lead him to places even he did not expect. In an inspiring autobiography, James reveals how, while growing up in the Mississippi Delta, he dreamed of becoming a high school football coach without realizing God had different plans for him. As his journey led him from a desire to win football games to win souls for Jesus Christ, James discloses how he found a way to complete high school, attend college, graduate from seminary and serve God for decades as a Baptist pastor, association director, and state convention staff member. Throughout his story, James reminds others that it is never too late to build a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. From Working in the Cotton Fields to Working in His Kingdom is the true story of how a boy raised in the Mississippi Delta became a Southern Baptist minister for nearly seventy years.

Download or read book No Depression in Heaven written by Alison Collis Greene and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowhere was the transition from church-based aid to federal welfare state brought about by the Great Depression more dramatic than in the South. For a moment, the southern Protestant establishment turned to face the suffering that plantation capitalism pushed behind its image of planter's hatsand hoopskirts. When starving white farmers marched into an Arkansas town to demand food for their dying children and when priests turned away hungry widows and orphans because they were no needier than anyone else, southern clergy of both races spoke with one voice to say that they had done allthey could. It was time for a higher power to intervene. They looked to God, and then they looked to Roosevelt.When Roosevelt promised a new deal for the "forgotten man," Americans cheered, and when he took office, churches and private agencies gratefully turned much of the responsibility for welfare and social reform over to the state. Yet, argues historian Allison Collis Greene, Roosevelt's New Dealthreatened plantation capitalism even while bending to it. Black southern churches worked to secure benefits for their own communities while white churches divided over loyalties to Roosevelt and Jim Crow. Frustrated by their failure and fractured by divisions over the New Deal, leaders in the majorwhite Protestant denominations surrendered their moral authority in the South. Although the Protestant establishment retained a central role in American life for decades after the Depression, its slip from power made room for upstart Pentecostals and independent evangelicals, who emphasized personalrather than social salvation.
