This book was released on 2019-12-20 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are thousands of great women of God who were pioneers of the faith and the gospel. Though many of their names are lost to us forever, the record of their exploits for the sake of the Kingdom are engraved in the eternal and living chronicles of heaven. They represent the hues and colors of God ́s rainbow and are present in the history of every denomination, faith and religion. Women have dug out churches, cleaned them, closed them and built them. They were visionaries, ground-breakers, pathfinders, the bridges that brought us over, trend-setters, armor-bearers, leaders, agents for change and disciples. They cooked, cried, sang, marched, testified, organized, did the holy dance, counseled, and prayed while everybody else slept. They carried the "work" on their bare knuckles, tear drops, hips, lips and hearts. In the pages of this delightful book filled with powerful scriptural revelation, candor, insight and instruction,Elaine Rose Penn delivers a challenge to women called to the gospel ministry to be true to their femininity, and adhere to a high standard of excellence and accountability in the conduct of their service to Christ.

Book excerpt: "If your faith is the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."--Matthew 17:20 A clarion call for those who want to have God in their lives every day and not just on Sundays, This Far by Faith offers clear-sighted, friendly advice that will guide readers gently into the new millennium. As the owners of a flourishing company called This Far by Faith Enterprises, Linnie Frank and Andria Hall have started nationwide "Circle of Seven" prayer groups, produce a newsletter called "The Mustard Seed," and conduct lectures and seminars at their Rhode Island retreat center. Now, in This Far by Faith, Frank and Hall share the "Faith Formula" they have developed in their work together, which they use in their own lives to conquer daily obstacles. Through Scripture, original prayers and affirmations, and plain old-fashioned "straight talk," the authors tackle issues ranging from friendship, family, love, marriage, child-rearing, and work, all while underscoring the importance of faith and perseverance as a way of maintaining balance in today's busy world. In chapters such as "What You Won't Do for Love," "Keeping the Home Fires Burning," "A House Is Not a Home," "Jobs, Career, and Callings," and "Give Me That Old Time Religion," Frank and Hall discuss ways to "live in the light."

Book excerpt: Including music by various gospel composers as well as hymns and spirituals made famous by Mahalia Jackson, this is a joyous celebration of the life and music of the world's greatest gospel singer: a humble, deeply religious woman whose expressive, full throated voice carried her from a three room shanty in New Orleans to appearances before presidents and royalty. The joy and inspiration of her heartfelt songs provide a counterpoint to the urgent messages delivered by her friend, Martin Luther King.

Download or read book Womanish Black Girls written by Dianne Smith and published by Myers Education Press. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 2020 SPE Outstanding Book Award Winner A 2019 AESA Critic's Choice Award Winner Womanish Black Girls/Women Resisting Contradictions of Silence and Voice is a collection of essays written by varied black women who fill spaces within the academy, public schools, civic organizations, and religious institutions. These writings are critically reflective and illuminate autobiographical storied-lives. A major theme is the notion of womanish black girls/women resisting the familial and communal expectations of being seen, rather than heard. Consequently, these memories and lived stories name contradictions between “being told what to do or say” and “knowing and deciding for herself.” Additional themes include womanism and feminism, male patriarchy, violence, cultural norms, positionality, spirituality, representation, survival, and schooling. While the aforementioned can revive painful images and feelings, the essays offer hope, joy, redemption, and the re-imagining of new ways of being in individual and communal spaces. An expectation is that middle school black girls, high school black girls, college/university black girls, and community black women will view this work as seedlings for understanding resistance, claiming voice, and healing. Perfect for courses in: Adolescent Development, American Studies, Black Studies, Educational Anthropology, Latino Studies, Multicultural Education, Social Foundations of Education, Sociology and Women's Studies.
Download or read book Only God Has And Knows The Answers written by Cecilia Hood Ceewee and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2023-06-29 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First uno and foremost thank -U- all glory be to God/and his magnificent son Jesus. About the book. As I stated somewhere in these stories turned testimonies, when the thought crossed my mind to write the newly fashioned devotional book, whether I was watching television, eating or doing some female stuff, bathing dressing, getting to mama’s or chilling on our front porch, should I wear this or that? The ensemble was well put together. I did not feel like trying to know if I could style my hair this way or that, and left it to its own mind, and went forward in the day. And after checking me out @ home, and then again for confirmation quickly checking me out as I passed someone’s parked car, and accepted for eternity you are a negro gypsy hippy bottomline, leave your hair as it is. It crossed my mind again, that you should write something concerning the new diversity and arguabaly that has actually been around since the beginning of time. Who is straight? Who is lgbtq? And whose business is it really? Not talking to myself yet out loud thoughts escaping my mind, and sheba baby was ignoring me she’d heard enough earlier. And you have enough praying concerning your own, and 14% give and take a % of us have had our shared experiences, male and female, and still thankful to have conceived and birth children, hello & hello. So yes, really speaking for the females in our family.Then it crossed my mind that I understood the difference between this and that and of the universe 40% of diseases and hopefully sooner than later cures.. Well we’d all have to go back to the beginning of time to hopefully understand just how many diseases occurred in the land of purity. God's creation. Humans mess up. Only he knows and has the answer to what the words read. Personally I am good where I am in 2023. Oh my goodness gracious! God/Jesus got my attention early right about 2:30 am. Write what you are reading, and I was not nor will be the only one to wonder, or write about the touchy topic and you have experience, and have read Romans 1 uno:26 vienta y seis, and I laughed, cried and smiled and did some mellow shouting. I prayed he would answer and here we are. Inspired specifically by, and through Christ the one who created it and us all. Here we are, please enjoy every word and with much understanding. Continually praying for ourselves and as many as our hands, and hearts can handle. Peace and peacefulness unto us all peace on earth and more unity around the universe.
Download or read book Imagining Grace written by Kimberly Rae Connor and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this subtle and illuminating study, Kimberly Rae Connor surveys examples of contemporary literature, drama, art, and music that extend the literary tradition of African-American slave narratives. Revealing the powerful creative links between this tradition and liberation theology's search for grace, she shows how these artworks profess a liberating theology of racial empathy and reconciliation, even if not in traditionally Christian or sacred language. From Frederick Douglass's autobiographical writings through Richard Wright's imaginative reconstruction of slavery to Ernest Gaines's Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman and the candescent novels of Toni Morrison, slave narratives exhort the reader to step into the experience of the dispossessed. Connor underscores the broad influence of the slave narrative by considering nonliterary as well as literary works, including Glenn Ligon's introspective art, Anna Deavere Smith's one-woman performance pieces, and Charlie Haden's politically engaged Liberation Music Orchestra. Through these works, readers, listeners, and viewers imagine grace on two levels: as the liberation of the enslaved from oppression and as their own liberation from prejudice and "willed innocence." Calling to task a complacent white society that turns a blind eye to deep-seated and continuing racial inequalities, Imagining Grace shows how these creative endeavors embody the search for grace, seeking to expose racism in all its guises and lay claim to political, intellectual, and spiritual freedom.
