Download or read book Letters from a Grandfather s Heart written by Dave Babcock-Granddad and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2017-07-31 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our children are surrounded by humanistic thinking which has taken over many of our schools, colleges, and sadly, many of our churches. Young people today fail to see the relevance of the Lord in their lives or in their families. What they hear and see on television and in the news fills them with apprehension and confusion. There are so many distracting directions the world takes young people today, far from the path the Lord would have them take. The Israelites were instructed in Deuteronomy and Psalms to make known to their children and their children's children and even the children to be born in future generations, the great things God had done in their lives so their children would not forget the ways of God and might set their hope in Him. Those instructions apply today to our families just as they did to the families in Old Testament times. If there was ever a time when parents and grandparents need to follow those instructions, it is now. It is the hope in writing and publishing this book that parents and grandparents might consider documenting and sharing great things the Lord has done in their families and how good the Lord has been to them. Young people are in great need of seeing God at work within their families in the lives of those who have come before them! The author has a Bachelor's Degree in Communications and a Master's in Christian School Administration. The basis for this book is the result of the Lord's answered prayer and a God given desire to encourage others to reach out to future generations in their families and to inform them what great things the Lord has done in their own lives.

Download or read book Remembering Our Grandfathers Exile written by Gail Y. Okawa and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2020-08-31 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When author Gail Okawa was in high school in Honolulu, a neighbor mentioned that her maternal grandfather had been imprisoned in a World War II concentration camp on the US mainland. Questioning her parents, she learned only that “he came back a changed man.” Years later, as an adult salvaging that grandfather’s memorabilia, she found a mysterious photo of a group of Japanese men standing in front of an adobe building, compelling her eventually to embark on a project to learn what happened to him. Remembering Our Grandfathers’ Exile is a composite chronicling of the Hawai‘i Japanese immigrant experience in mainland exile and internment during World War II, from pre-war climate to arrest to exile to return. Told through the eyes of a granddaughter and researcher born during the war, it is also a research narrative that reveals parallels between pre-WWII conditions and current twenty-first century anti-immigrant attitudes and heightened racism. The book introduces Okawa’s grandfather, Reverend Tamasaku Watanabe, a Protestant minister, and other Issei prisoners—all legal immigrants excluded by law from citizenship—in a collective biographical narrative that depicts their suffering, challenges, and survival as highly literate men faced with captivity in the little-known prison camps run by the U.S. Justice and War Departments. Okawa interweaves documents, personal and official, and internees’ firsthand accounts, letters, and poetry to create a narrative that not only conveys their experience but, equally important, exemplifies their literacy as ironic and deliberate acts of resistance to oppressive conditions. Her research revealed that the Hawai‘i Issei/immigrants who had sons in military service were eventually distinguished from the main group; the narrative relates visits of some of those sons to their imprisoned fathers in New Mexico and elsewhere, as well as the deaths of sons killed in action in Europe and the Pacific. Documents demonstrate the high degree of literacy and advocacy among the internees, as well as the inherent injustice of the government’s policies. Okawa’s project later expanded to include New Mexico residents having memories of the Santa Fe Internment Camp—witnesses who provide rare views of the wartime reality.

Download or read book Blessed Motherhood Bitter Fruit written by Elinor Accampo and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2006-09-08 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nelly Roussel (1878–1922)—the first feminist spokeswoman for birth control in Europe—challenged both the men of early twentieth-century France, who sought to preserve the status quo, and the women who aimed to change it. She delivered her messages through public lectures, journalism, and theater, dazzling audiences with her beauty, intelligence, and disarming wit. She did so within the context of a national depopulation crisis caused by the confluence of low birth rates, the rise of international tensions, and the tragedy of the First World War. While her support spread across social classes, strong political resistance to her message revealed deeply conservative precepts about gender which were grounded in French identity itself. In this thoughtful and provocative study, Elinor Accampo follows Roussel's life from her youth, marriage, speaking career, motherhood, and political activism to her decline and death from tuberculosis in the years following World War I. She tells the story of a woman whose life and work spanned a historical moment when womanhood was being redefined by the acceptance of a woman's sexuality as distinct from her biological, reproductive role—a development that is still causing controversy today.

Download or read book Grandfather J B Letters to My Grandson written by Joseph Bercovici and published by Quid Pro Books. This book was released on 2010-08-19 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memoirs through poignant, witty letters written by a self-taught immigrant to his professor grandson in the Sixties, first published by Little, Brown and now in quality digital. Both sweet and acerbic, with plenty of subtext and wistfulness of dreams of philosophy or just going to college, the book compels attention for its strong characters deftly revealed by short letters--and always the stern correction of the "stubborn" grandson.Joseph Bercovici was proud of his "clan" of writers, artists, and professors, but was noticeably envious of their opportunities that passed him by. He shared himself deeply, if often unwittingly, in letters to a grandson, Joel, who was in the midst of becoming an acclaimed political scientist. Joseph chided the 6'4" "boy" on his VW bug, choosing political science and law as fields of study, using computers, and--interesting even today--the remarkable subtleties of English. But, irregardless (someone finally explains why that's wrong!), there is much life and love shared between them. With the letters skillfully compiled by clan-addition Mary Grossman, the story and his remarkable character unfold without ever seeing a reply letter. Through Joseph's searing but sometime naive eyes, the fascinating story of a family of prodigies is revealed, warts and all. Turns out, the poor immigrant did become an author, as with many of his children and descendants still, and this is his book. We have all had a grandfather just like this, and none of us has.
