Download or read book God s Waiting Room written by Casey Golomski and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2024-12-13 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can older racists change their tune, or will they haunt us further once they're gone? Rich in mystery and life's lessons, God's Waiting Room considers what matters in the end for older white adults and the younger Black nurses who care for them. An innovation in creative nonfiction, Casey Golomski's story of his years of immersive research at a nursing home in South Africa, thirty years after the end of apartheid, is narrated as a one-day, room-by-room tour. The story is told in breathtakingly intimate and witty conversations with the home's residents and nurses, including the untold story of Nelson Mandela's Robben Island prison nurse, and readers learn how ageism, sexism, and racism intersect and impact health care both in South Africa and in the United States, as well as create conditions in which people primed to be enemies find grace despite the odds. For copyright reasons, this edition is not available in the South African Development Community and Kenya.

Download or read book Outlove written by RODGERS and published by Augsburg Fortress Publishers. This book was released on 2021 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of bouncing between hope and despair, Evangelical, Baptist-raised Julie Rodgers found herself making a powerful public statement that her former self would have never said: ""I support same-sex marriage in the church."" When Rodgers came out to her family as a junior in high school, she still believed that God would sanctify her and eventually make her straight. Wanting so intensely to be good, she spent her adolescent and early adult years with an ex-gay ministry, praying for liberation from her homosexuality. In Outlove Rodgers details her deeply personal journey from a life of self-denial in the name of faith to her role in leading the take-down of Exodus International, the largest ex-gay organization in the world, to her marriage to a woman at the Washington National Cathedral. Through one woman's intimate story, we see the larger story of why many have left conservative religious structures in order to claim their truest identity. Outlove is about love and losses, political and religious power-plays, and the cost to those who sought to stay in a faith community that wouldn't accept them. Shedding light on the debate between Evangelical Christians and the LGBTQ community--a battle that continues to rage on in the national news and in courtrooms across the country--this book ultimately casts a hopeful vision for how the church can heal.

Download or read book The Born Frees Writing with the Girls of Gugulethu written by Kimberly Burge and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2015-08-03 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A creative writing group unites and inspires girls of the first South African generation “born free.” Born into post-apartheid South Africa, the young women of the townships around Cape Town still face daunting challenges. Their families and communities have been ravaged by poverty, violence, sexual abuse, and AIDS. Yet, as Kimberly Burge discovered when she set up a writing group in the township of Gugulethu, the spirit of these girls outshines their circumstances. Girls such as irrepressible Annasuena, whose late mother was one of South Africa’s most celebrated singers; bubbly Sharon, already career-bound; and shy Ntombi, determined to finish high school and pursue further studies, find reassurance and courage in writing. Together they also find temporary escape from the travails of their lives, anxieties beyond boyfriends and futures: for some of them, worries that include HIV medication regimens, conflicts with indifferent guardians, struggles with depression. Driven by a desire to claim their own voices and define themselves, their writing in the group Amazw’Entombi, “Voices of the Girls,” provides a lodestar for what freedom might mean.

Download or read book The Gold I Carried As Stone written by Jackie Khomotso Seja and published by Jackie Khomotso Seja. This book was released on 2021-01-25 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are special! You are amazing! All that this book does is remind you of that and does its best in assisting you to let the gold that you are shine forth. The truth is that in life you can never achieve anything above how you view yourself nor your mind would allow you to work at achieving it. There is a scripture that I love from the bible which says: “As a man thinketh, so is he” proverbs 23:24. It is similar to a quote by one of my favourite philosophers Confucius: “He who think he can and he who think he can’t are both usually right” I have endeavoured in this book to show the potential that you have and that you are already awesome and you should let yourself busk in the glory and purity of your awesomeness.
