Book excerpt: The 30th anniversary edition of Cheryl Foggo’s landmark work about growing up Black on the Canadian prairies Cheryl Foggo came of age during the 1960s in Calgary, a time when a Black family walking down the street still drew stares from everyone they passed. She grew up in the warm embrace of a community of extended family and friends, with roots in the Black migration of 1910 across the western provinces. But as an adolescent, Cheryl struggled against the negative attitudes towards Blackness she and her family encountered. She struggled against the many ways she was made to feel an outsider in the only place she ever knew as home. As Cheryl explores her ancestry, what comes to light gives her the confidence to claim her place in the Canadian west as a proud Black woman. In this beautiful, moving work, she celebrates the Black experience and Black resiliency on the prairies.

Download or read book Hosea A Textual Commentary written by Mayer I. Gruber and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-07-27 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mayer I. Gruber provides a new commentary on and translation of Hosea. Building upon his work that debunked the myth of sacred prostitution, Gruber now goes on to show that the book of Hosea repeatedly advocates a single standard of marital fidelity for men and women and teaches cheated women to fight back. Gruber employs the latest and most precise findings of lexicography and poetics to solve the difficulties of the text and to determine both how Hosea can be read and what this means. The translation differs from classical and recent renderings in eliminating forms and expressions, which are neither modern English nor ancient Hebrew. Referring to places, events, and material reality of the 9th and 8th centuries BCE, Gruber uncovers the abiding messages of the heretofore obscure book of Hosea. As in previous studies, Gruber employs the insights of behavioral sciences to uncover forgotten meanings of numerous allusions, idioms, similes, and metaphors. Judicious use is made also of textual history, reception history, and personal voice criticism. One of the least biblical books now speaks more clearly to present and future audiences than it did to many previous audiences.
Download or read book How God Used a Hillbilly Preacher written by Pastor Jack H. Jones and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-12-20 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible is proven to be the world's bestseller, and rightfully so, because God is the author. God wants man to be happy, healthy, and in harmony with him. There is no justifiable reason why the world, and especially church members, should be living with sickness and defeat. Over the last sixty or so years, I have seen the increase in devastating diseases and the decline in true spirituality and the trend of church leaders toward a social gospel fulfilling 2 Timothy 3:5, "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof." All this moved me to put forth the Bible's resolution to these shortcomings and awaken the interest of many to seek and find this full salvation that Jesus purchased for all.
Download or read book Walking on the Wild Side written by Kristi M. Fondren and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-11 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most famous long-distance hiking trail in North America, the 2,181-mile Appalachian Trail—the longest hiking-only footpath in the world—runs along the Appalachian mountain range from Georgia to Maine. Every year about 2,000 individuals attempt to “thru-hike” the entire trail, a feat equivalent to hiking Mount Everest sixteen times. In Walking on the Wild Side, sociologist Kristi M. Fondren traces the stories of forty-six men and women who, for their own personal reasons, set out to conquer America’s most well known, and arguably most social, long-distance hiking trail. In this fascinating in-depth study, Fondren shows how, once out on the trail, this unique subculture of hikers lives mostly in isolation, with their own way of acting, talking, and thinking; their own vocabulary; their own activities and interests; and their own conception of what is significant in life. They tend to be self-disciplined, have an unwavering trust in complete strangers, embrace a life of poverty, and reject modern-day institutions. The volume illuminates the intense social intimacy and bonding that forms among long-distance hikers as they collectively construct a long-distance hiker identity. Fondren describes how long-distance hikers develop a trail persona, underscoring how important a sense of place can be to our identity, and to our sense of who we are. Indeed, the author adds a new dimension to our understanding of the nature of identity in general. Anyone who has hiked—or has ever dreamed of hiking—the Appalachian Trail will find this volume fascinating. Walking on the Wild Side captures a community for whom the trail is a sacred place, a place to which they have become attached, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.

Download or read book Eudora Welty written by Pearl Amelia McHaney and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-03-31 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulitzer Prize-winning author Eudora Welty's writing and photography were the subject of more than one thousand reviews, of which over two hundred are collected here. From the first, reviewers loved Welty's language and disparaged her lack of plot. Their eager anticipation for the next book is rarely diminished by the shock of reading entirely different styles of writing. Her work was admired even as it challenged its readers. The reviews selected for reprinting here represent the diversity of Welty's reception and assessment. Reviews from small towns, urban centers, noted fiction writers, professional reviewers, academics, and everyday readers are included. The comments of reviewing rivals such as the New York Times and the New York Herald Tribune, Nation and New Yorker, when read side by side, reveal the nuances both of the reviewers and of the work of this important Southern writer.

Download or read book Miracles of Simple People written by Tabor Hermon and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miracles Of Simple People is a collection of miracles by average people. It is best read in small increments. Actually, that is a plus to many people. You can put it down at any point. It is best to digest a little at a time. Actually, everything in life is. No traditional table of contents, yet a guide to particular stories. We all have miracles. Not claiming anything special. No one is better than anyone else. Miracles are not understood by us, however, it is just another occurrence to God. You will gain a lot of inspiration from these stories. You are not alone! Simple people feel the same in their heart as they act outwardly. Many miracles are what I thought of as uncommon, but are not. An example would be people disappearing. Tumors too. Anything is possible if you remove doubt. Be it so, according to your faith. If you do not believe in God before you read this, you may afterward. There are many things we cannot explain. Atheist point of view is understandable. Many people claim to be Christian, yet act worse than non believers. Regardless, the truth changes for no one. We change all the time, God never changes. Perhaps we think he does, but he knows the outcome of all things. We look at a day, week, or month. God looks at things from an eternal point of view. We should treat every person like they are Jesus. What you do to the least of your brothers, you have done to me. Bible scripture. Not every person in this book is a Christian. Believers feel the bible was inspired by God. Yet all agree it was written by man. No person could conceive all of the things in the bible. Some feel it is a fairytale. What an incredible imagination. Even the word imagine comes from image. We are an image of God. The biggest difficulty is interpretations. There are millions, yet one truth. Not claiming to totally understand God. You cannot understand the infinite from a finite perspective.
