Download or read book Broken Shackles written by Peter Meyler and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2007-01-26 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1889, Broken Shackles was published in Toronto under the pseudonym of Glenelg. This very unique book, containing the recollections of a resident of Owen Sound, Ontario, an African American known as Old Man Henson, was one of the very few books that documented the journey to Canada from the perspective of a person of African descent. Now, over 112 years later, a new edition of Broken Shackles is available. Henson was a great storyteller and the spark of life shines through as he describes the horrors of slavery and his goal of escaping its tenacious hold. His times as a slave in Maryland, his refuge in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and his ultimate freedom in Canada are vividly depicted through his remembrances. The stories of Henson's family, friends and enemies will both amuse and shock the readers of Broken Shackles: Old Man Henson From Slavery to Freedom. It is interesting to discover that his observations of life's struggles and triumphs are as relevant today as they were in his time.

Book excerpt: The first book in The Last War series: a debut epic fantasy full of crunching revolutionary action, twisted magic, and hard choices in dark times. The war is over. The enemy won. Jia's people learned the hard way that there are no second chances. The Egril, their ancient enemy, struck with magic so devastating that Jia's armies were wiped out. Now terror reigns in the streets, and friend turns on friend just to live another day. Somehow Tinnstra - a deserter, a failure, nothing but a coward - survived. She wants no more than to hide from the chaos. But dragged into a desperate plot to retake Jia, surrounded by people willing to do anything to win the fight, this time Tinnstra will need to do more than hide. If Jia is to get a second chance after all, this time she will need to be a hero. With all the grit of Joe Abercrombie, Mark Lawrence and Ed McDonald, this is fantasy with the sharpest of edges. * * * * * * * * * * 'The next Game of Thrones' Glen Cook, author of The Black Company 'Tarantino crossed with David Gemmell' Peter McLean, author of Priest of Bones 'A powerful debut' Gavin Smith, author of The Bastard Legion
Download or read book Shedding the Shackles written by Lynne Stein and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-27 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A celebration of female inventiveness and aesthetic sensibility, Shedding the Shackles explores women's craft enterprises, their artisanal excellence, and the positive impact their individual projects have on breaking the poverty cycle. In the first part of the twentieth century, suffering from a legacy inherited from the Victorian era, craft skills, such as weaving, sewing, embroidery, and quilting were regarded largely as women's domestic pastimes, and remained undervalued and marginalised. It has taken several decades for attitudes to change, for the boundaries between 'fine art' and craft to blur, and for textile crafts to be given the same respect and recognition as other media. Featuring artisans and projects from across the globe Shedding the Shackles celebrates their vision and motivation giving a fascinating glimpse into how these craft initiatives have created a sustainable lifestyle, and impacted upon their communities at a deeper level.

Book excerpt: I am asked by many loved ones, why the title Breaking Shackles: The Story of the Lowly Dishwasher most often. My response is questions you ask about a higher power and or about self. Breaking Shackles is a profound series about a young man destined to fulfill a walk for understanding. That understanding as a guide and gift to reach peace and stillness on earth most likely a lost art to humankind. While not being a victim everything was afforded to me for as long as I can remember. For some reason, I found myself always rebelling, living in a single-parent home with nine other siblings. I found myself following in my oldest brother footsteps to over a decade of incarceration at the age of twenty. This is the true story of being alone thrust into the penitentiary system while being assaulted, robbed, vulnerable, and taken advantage of. In this heart-wrenching first saga, the author learns a new way of life which leads to a Sibilance of tasting ultimate enlightenment to share with the world.
Download or read book Gods in Shackles written by Sangita Iyer and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a foreword by Jane Goodall, this moving memoir follows a successful journalist and filmmaker who felt like something was missing in her life as she finds her purpose in advocacy for the Asian elephants in her childhood home town of Kerala, India. "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." - Mahatma Gandhi Elephants are self-aware, conscious beings. They can feel and grieve the loss of both elephants and humans. But despite all empathy that elephants shower on humans, we continue to inflict pain and suffering on these caring, sentient beings. In 2013 Sangita Iyer visited her childhood home of Kerala, India. Over 700 Asian elephants live in Kerala, owned by individuals and temples that force them to perform in lengthy, crowded, noisy festivals, abusing and shackling these animals they claim to revere for tourists and money. When Sangita found herself in the presence of these divine creatures and witnessed their suffering first hand, she felt a deep connection to their pain. She too had been shackled and broken for too long-to her patriarchal upbringing in India, to the many "me too" moments in her work life that were swept under the rug, to the silence. Now she would speak out for the elephants and for herself. And she would heal alongside them. This sparked the creation of her award winning documentary of the same name and a new purpose in this life for both Sangita and the elephants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breaking The Shackles: Stepping Out of a Lame State of Mind is my tool for ministering to those who are in crippling situations; hopefully, it will be a beacon of hope for...the impotent folk, the blind, the halt, the withered, and those waiting for the moving of the water (John 5:3). Breaking The Shackles is an attempt to delve into the abyss of our helplessness and nothingness to help create an understanding of what it takes to arise from any lame condition.

Download or read book Release Your Shackles written by David Lasocki and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literal shackles are rings and chains around our wrists and ankles, ensuring that we stay imprisoned. The figurative shackles dealt with in this book are physical (sickness), mental, emotional, spiritual, environmental, social, and cultural. They still imprison us, because they create blockages and restrictions in the flow of our life. For anything to exist in this world, it must have form, or what is commonly called structure. Our society, family, schools, religion, laws, food, and medicine all create form for us. These forms support us, but they also have the potential to shackle us. Why? Because they tend to become self-serving, to perpetuate themselves, instead of flowing with the changes of life. As a result, we end up doing what others have been doing, based on the past, rather than finding out who we are and what would work for us in our lives in the present. So how can we release our shackles: what is no longer serving us in our lives? The first step is to recognize and acknowledge that something else would serve us better. Sometimes shackles release from only our awareness of their existence; or else the release occurs because our awareness leads to new choices in our lives, or we discover a new technique that shifts shackles. At other times, the releasing of shackles benefits from a helping hand. In any case, releasing shackles means, essentially, perceiving life differently. Part 1 of the book covers some common shackles. Part 2 summarizes essential background information. Many ways of releasing shackles have been coming to the world in the last ten or twenty years. Part 3 of the book introduces some of the ways that the author has been using in his energy-healing work with his clients (and on himself). Here's to a free and authentic life!

Download or read book Invisible Shackles written by Marshall Pope and published by America Star Books. This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever heard the old saying, 'A mind is a terrible thing to waste'? What if everything you have been told, taught and made to believe is all just another form of slavery called brainwashing? Small white lies that have imprisoned a whole race of people to believe they are free. Invisible Shackles is the key we have been searching for to free our minds. Marshall has discovered the truth hidden for years from mental brainwashing. Racism did not die with the civil rights movement nor did it die when many great black leaders gave their lives up for change. Racism merely changed forms from the iron shackles on our wrist and ankles to the invisible shackles on our brains. Marshall powerful words gives readers the knowledge, courage and key to set ourselves free.
