Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miracles in the Slums: Or Thrilling Stories of Those Rescued From the Cesspools of Iniquity, and Touching Incidents in the Lives of the Unfortunate As the time has come to send forth this book to the reading public, I have a very keen sense of the fact that it but faintly portrays the awful situation as found in our great centers of population. While some of our statements will be regarded by many as extravagant, and our word-pictures as overdrawn, yet as I think of it now, I have a deep and growing conviction that in our setting forth these pages we have not approximated a fair description of the real state of things as they exist to-day. There arc some things that can not be exaggerated. No newspaper reporter has ever yet been able in his description to overdraw a real cyclone, and if you have ever been in one, you are quite ready to agree with me. The slime, squalor, and crime of our slimiest slums baffles all power of description; in fact, we would not, if we could, attempt to describe much that we have found of unnameable sin, shame, and crime. For more than a quarter of a century I have at times been greatly burdened for the neglected, fallen, and poverty-stricken of this world.

Download or read book Daughters of the Church written by Ruth A. Tucker and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2010-08-10 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rich in historical events and colorfully written, this fascinating account of women in the church spans nearly two thousand years of church history. It tells of events and aspirations, determination and disappointment, patience and achievement that mark the history of daughters of the church from the time of Jesus to the present. The authors have endeavored to present an objective story. The very fact that readers may find themselves surprised now and again by the prominent role of women in certain events and movements proves an inequality that historical narrative has often been guilty of. This is a book about women. It is a setting straight off the record -- a restoring of balance to history that has repeatedly played down the significance of the contributions of women to the theology, the witness, the movements, and the growth of the church. An exegetical study of relevant Scripture passages offers stimulating thought for discussion and for serious reevaluation of historical givens. This volume is enriched by pictures, appendixes, bibliography, and indexes. Like many of the women whose stories it tells, this book has a subdued strength that should not be underestimated.

Download or read book Salvation in the Slums written by Norris Magnuson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2004-11-09 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did advocates of the social gospel carry the burden of humanitarian aid during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries? Were evangelicals content merely to maintain the status quo and avoid ameliorating the plight of the needy? Focusing upon the period from the Civil War to about 1920, this study attempts to portray the sizeable body of Christians whose extensive welfare activities and concern sprang similarly from their passion for evangelism and personal holiness, writes the author. He meticulously traces the urban welfare activities of the Salvation Army, the Volunteers of America, the Christian Missionary and Alliance, multiple rescue missions and homes, and the religious journal 'Christian Herald'.

Download or read book Urban Poverty Local Governance and Everyday Politics in Mumbai written by Joop de Wit and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the informal (political) patronage relations between the urban poor and service delivery organisations in Mumbai, India. It examines the conditions of people in the slums and traces the extent to which they are subject to social and political exclusion. Delving into the roles of the slum-based mediators and municipal councillors, it brings out the problems in the functioning of democracy at the ground level, as election candidates target vote banks with freebies and private-sector funding to manage their campaigns. Starting from social justice concerns, this book combines theory and insights from disciplines as diverse as political science, anthropology and policy studies. It provides a comprehensive, multi-level overview of the various actors within local municipal governance and democracy as also consequences for citizenship, urban poverty, gender relations, public services, and neoliberal politics. Lucid and rich in ethnographic data, this book will be useful to scholars, researchers and students of social anthropology, urban studies, urban sociology, political science, public policy and governance, as well as practitioners and policymakers.

Download or read book Virgil s Golden Egg and Other Neapolitan Miracles written by Michael A. Ledeen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Savvy Italians will tell you that Neapolitans are considered the cleverest, most imaginative, most romantic, and the most entertaining people in the country. The world's finest men's fashions are Neapolitan, Italy's most celebrated popular songs and a high proportion of popular and operatic singers are Neapolitan—starting with Enrico Caruso. Sophia Loren and Toto are famously Neapolitan. Divorce Italian Style and Marriage Italian Style were based on plays written by the great Neapolitan Eduardo de Filippo. If you check the Italian literary awards year after year, you will find an amazingly high proportion of Neapolitans walking off with the highest honors. Naples has been a great creative center for hundreds of years. Neapolitan creativity has survived centuries of foreign occupation, widespread misery, the end of its role as a great capital city, repeated natural catastrophes, and terrible epidemics. What accounts for the creativity of Naples? The sorcerer Virgil is said to have created a Golden Egg, inside a crystal sphere, to save Naples from natural catastrophe. The egg, locked in an iron cage, was buried beneath a castle—still known as the "Egg Castle"—to give it stability and to give eternal life to Naples. Michael Ledeen suggests some surprising answers in a highly original exploration of Neapolitan life and death that ranges from religion to organized crime, war and violence. His deep affection for this remarkable city and its people is evident on every page.
