Book excerpt: Ella Mae is used to wearing her cousin's hand-me-down shoes—but when her latest pair is already too tight, she's thrilled at the chance to get new shoes. But at the shoe store, Ella Mae and her mother have to wait until there are no white customers to serve first. She doesn't get to try anything on, either—her mother traces her feet onto a sheet of paper, and the salesman brings them a pair he thinks will fit. Disappointed by her treatment, Ella Mae and her cousin Charlotte hatch a plan to help others in their community find better-fitting shoes without humiliation. Eric Velasquez' realistic oil paintings bring life to this story of a young girl's determination in the face of injustice. The book includes an author's note from Susan Lynn Meyer, discussing the historical context of the story and how the Civil Rights Movement worked to abolish unfair laws like the ones Ella Mae encounters.

Download or read book The Neighbors written by Ahmad Mahmoud and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2013-06-15 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ahmad Mahmoud sets The Neighbors against the backdrop of the oil nationalization crisis that gripped Iran in the early 1950s. His protagonist, Khaled, a young man from a rundown neighborhood in Ahvaz, a city in southern Iran, becomes involved in the struggle to wrest Iran’s oil industry from the British and, as the result of his political activities, comes to realize that there is more to life than the drudgery and poverty his parents and neighbors have experienced. The Neighbors, published in 1974, cemented Mahmoud’s reputation as a novelist and captured the ethos of a generation—the generation that laid the groundwork for those who continue to struggle for democracy in Iran today. Though the novel received considerable praise and was read widely, its political nature earned the ire of Mohammad Reza Shah’s regime, and the Islamic Republic has objected to its sexually explicit content. This is the first time one of Ahmad Mahmoud’s novels has appeared in English translation.

Download or read book Neighbors written by Deanna Ferree Womack and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named one of the Top 10 Books of the Year in 2020 by the Academy of Parish Clergy For a long time, American Christians have been hearing a story about Islam. It's a story about conflict and hostility, about foreigners and strangers. At the heart of this story is a fundamental incompatibility between the two religions going all the way back to their original encounters. According to that story, the only valid Christian response to Islam is resistance. But it's time to tell a different—and truer—story. Christians and Muslims have not always fought or lived in fear of each other. Christian communities in majority-Muslim countries have coexisted with their Muslim neighbors for centuries. More importantly, Muslims have been part of the American story from its beginning. And like their Christian neighbors, Muslims want to make the community in which they live a better place for all citizens. In Neighbors, Deanna Ferree Womack lays the groundwork for members of the two religions to understand, converse, and cooperate with each another. With models for cultivating empathy and interfaith awareness, Christians can move from neighborly intention to real dialogue and common action with Muslims in the United States. Ideal for individual or group study, the book includes discussion guide for group study with links to video clips, a timeline of the first Muslim communities, and a glossary of Arabic terms related to Islam.

Book excerpt: He wanted me to tell people about him. What it was like to know him, to be around him, to listen to him. I pulled up across from the girl's house. Always polite, she thanked me for the ride and started to open the door. Instantly, bright lights scorched our eyes. Huge searchlights exploded on all sides. An even brighter light burst from above, accompanied by the thumping of helicopter blades. "FREEZE!," boomed a voice from seemingly nowhere. The girl froze - half in and half out of the car. I was too stunned to move. Black shadows of men could barely be seen beyond the lights No one moved. No one spoke. Then finally, a softer voice was heard, saying "It's okay. It's coach." - Chapter one: School and Kids So I ran that day, sweating and praying. The dog trotted ahead, always sniffing and - as usual - curious about life. All of a sudden, there came a noise like a mighty wind, but there was no wind. The dog stopped and looked at me as if to say, "Uh, dude, what's up with that?" - Chapter three: Animals It took me a minute to speak. I was having a hard time taking it all in. A woman I never met before sat beside me. God spoke to her, about me. There was no way she could have known what was happening in my life, since up to that point, I hadn't even told my own family. Yet it upset her so much that she had literally cried during the entire service. -Chapter six: Church A moment went by, and I listened carefully. "Now, what do you see?" Instantly the room exploded with blinding light. I blinked back the brightness, and thunder rolled nearby. - Chapter eight: Visions

Book excerpt: In this gripping and yet captivating account of a compelling true life story, William Beckford enthralls his audience with a story that will live with you - forever. He will transport you into his life and travel with him from his innocent childhood, the discovery of his nonexistent relationship with his siblings, through his depression and attempted suicide. The emotional abuse and neglect cycle started when he was a child, and continued through his teenage years. The pages turn on their own as this compelling story exposes a tale of a black sheep, the mindset of the victim, the actions of the people he thought would love him the most, the betrayal of family and friends, and the walk towards conversion, healing and restoration. Your nights will be short as you stay awake, reading each page as quickly as possible so you may know what happened next. Intense does not begin to describe "He Leadeth Me." William's true story reads like a best-selling thriller - but it's not fiction. His story begins as a childhood nightmare and ends with God's miraculous and victorious deliverance and restoration. At the heart of this book are real issues that we all face: learning to grow through pain, making decisions that will help us move forward, overcoming adversity, and trust in the power of God for healing. Centered on the people that were close to him, he brings his own cast alive with crisp dialogue and action - oftentimes breathtaking with brutal honesty. At an early age, he learned how to cope with adversity and loneliness. He found love, in other people's homes. Never has a story been told of how a child had to fend off forces of evil and powers of the dark world. With no hope of escape from the flood of witchcraft and sorcery, he learned to trust God even at an early age.
