Book excerpt: This book is for those who are looking for more in the Lord than routine. The Lord always has more for those that are seeking him. In the pages in my book are some exciting experiences I have had the opportunity to live out. Many of them are humorous, and some are serious. Some will make you laugh, and some will bring a tear to your eyes. My prayer is that, as you read, you will find yourself in some of the same situations I have been in and watch the Lord show up and show out. I claim many souls in the name of Jesus as you expand your territory to serve him. My hope is that these stories will cause you to swim out into deeper waters. As I come to the end of this chapter of my life, many more experiences are occurring even as I write. The Holy Spirit is always moving. There is no end to his adventure and no containing his glory. All we have to do is grab as much as we can as we go and do in Jesuss name. May you walk in the destiny God has set before you. Its a life that will never be disappointing because he gives us life and more abundantly. I am so thankful the Lord saved me and took some things away. I am more thankful for what he gave me instead. He is the only one who can bring joy and peace. Most people will not submit to the Lord. It is because they dont want to give up something. Its not what youre going to give up, its what youre going to receive that makes the difference. You can be happy now. Not just when you get to heaven. Joy can be yours now! May God richly bless you as these pages cause something to come alive inside of you.

Download or read book Redneck Boy in the Promised Land written by Ben Jones and published by Crown. This book was released on 2008-06-03 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Redneck Boy in the Promised Land is Ben Jones’s hilarious, uplifting life story of escaping the rail yards and finding success in the unlikeliest places. As a child, Jones called a dingy railroad shack with no electricity or indoor plumbing home. An unabashed Southern redneck from a "likker drinkin’, hell-raisin’" family, Jones grew up in the depressed railroad docks outside of Portsmouth, Virginia, and spent most of his days dreaming about where the tracks out of town could take him. That he would go on to become a beloved television icon on The Dukes of Hazzard and a firebrand two-term Congressman is a story that no one could have ever seen coming . . . least of all ol’ "Cooter" himself. Written with naked honesty and wry humor, Redneck Boy in the Promised Land is one good ol’ boy’s remarkable tale of falling flat on his face, picking himself up, and finding his way to the American dream-while fighting for civil rights, the plight of the working class, "real" Southern culture, and the rights of rednecks everywhere. From the Hardcover edition.

Download or read book All Things All at Once New and Selected Stories written by Lee K. Abbott and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2011-10-12 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-awaited new collection from Lee K. Abbott, "Cheever's true heir, our major American short story writer" (William Harrison). Here are stories about fathers and sons, stories about men and women, and stories about the relationships between men by one of our most gifted story writers. The narrator of "The Who, the What and the Why," begins breaking into his own house as a sort of therapy after his daughter dies. In "The Human Use of Inhuman Beings," the main character realizes that his closest relationship is to an angel, who appears to him only to announce the death of loved ones. All Things, All at Once reminds us why Lee K. Abbott is to be treasured: his perfect pitch for tales of hapless Southwesterners, his way with sympathetic irony, his eye that skillfully notes the awkward humiliations—common heartbreak, fractured families—and records it all in lyrical, affectionate language. In tales new and from previous collections Abbott examines lived life and the lies we necessarily tell about it.

Book excerpt: Writing this book was a labor of love. Actually, thats not quite true. Writing for me has no labor. I love doing it. I hope that I have made Charlene, Parker, and the rest of my story characters as real for you as they are to me. I feel that I know them all intimately and I treasure that. If reading this story gives you a fraction of the pleasure that it gives me, then it is a success. Charlene could never have imagined in a million years all the challenges, tragedies, and triumphs that she would face in her lifetime. None of us can. No one knows whats around the next corner or over the next horizon in life. All we can try to do is face lifes challenges with the same courage, hope, and faith that Charlene did. Hopefully, like it did for Charlene, it will all turn out for the best.

Scholars as well as general readers will find this book to be very useful and informative."--Henry N.

Download or read book Quilt of Souls written by Phyllis Biffle Elmore and published by Charlesbridge Publishing. This book was released on 2022-11-08 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yellow House meets Hidden in Plain View in this multigenerational memoir that celebrates African American quilting, family, and honoring the past. At age four, Phyllis Biffle Elmore was plucked off her front porch in Detroit and dropped on her grandmother Lula Horn’s doorstep in rural Alabama. Phyllis felt utterly abandoned until Grandma Lula showed her both all-encompassing love and her intricate “Quilts of Souls.” Phyllis listened intently as Lula told epic stories of folks who had passed on as she turned their clothing into breathtaking quilts for their families. Grandma Lula’s generosity of spirit, strong will, and creative soul animate every page and through the quilts, she paints portraits of extraordinary Black women born before and after the Civil War. They are enslaved people, laundresses, storytellers, healers, and quilters whose stories have gone untold until now. Beautifully written and brilliantly told, Phyllis weaves back and forth through time, piecing together true tales of racism, sexism, and colorism, but also strength and pride, creating a multigenerational patchwork honoring her family and ancestors. From the lush visuals to the powerful history, Quilt of Souls is oral tradition written and preserved for posterity. “Like the women of Gee’s Bend, Alabama, who create masterpieces from cast-off fabrics, Phyllis Biffle Elmore in Quilt of Souls: A Memoir uses snippets of history and fragments of memories to craft a narrative that is a powerful and poignant read.” –Jessica B. Harris, New York Times best-selling author of High on the Hog "A fascinating read that unravels how storytellers are born and made, with the goal or retelling family history, culture, loves, losses, victories, and the tragedies of memoerable people, from cradle to grave." –Omar Tyree, best-selling author and NAACP Image Award winner
