Download or read book Ship of Miracles written by Bill Gilbert and published by Triumph Books. This book was released on 2000-09 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was a miracle worthy of the season. When Captain Leonard La Rue spied from his twelve-man merchant ship, the Meredith Victory, the throng of Korean refugees on the docks of a city in flames, he didn't hesitate to do what others would consider impossible. In December of 1950, La Rue and his skeleton crew rescued fourteen thousand Korean refugees from the hands of the rapidly-approaching Chinese army in the city of Hungnam. Through the night and next day, a seemingly endless succession of refugees boarded the Meredith, their will to live and strong spirit steeling them against the bitter cold and incredibly crowded conditions. Standing shoulder to shoulder for three days the refugees and crew stoically endured as La Rue steered the ship through sea battle, a thirty-mile web of sea mines, and enemy shelling. "Ship of Miracles" is the incredible story of what has been called "the greatest rescue operation by a single ship in the history of mankind." Against all odds, the little merchant vessel transported its precious cargo to the island of Koje-Do on Christmas Eve completely unharmed, all fourteen thousand refugees alive and well, including an additional five new lives begun on this incredible journey. As the fiftieth anniversary of this miraculous rescue approaches, "Ship of Miracles" is as touching today as it was then; a tale you'll hold close to your heart, and return to time and again. While the United States Navy prepares to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the perilous evacuation at Hungnam and honor the Meredith Victory's miraculous feat, read this never-before-told account from the crew themselves, as they relate the incredible and unbelievable details of their three-day journey from fear to freedom.
Download or read book Miracles of the Burlington Revival written by C. T. Townsend and published by . This book was released on 2018-05 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most churches, the front pews serve as a meeting place at the very heart of the church-where those who come forward can talk with others, can be prayed over, and can be led to Christ. At the Burlington Revival, we used wooden benches instead. It was on those rustic wooden structures that men and women would kneel, in tears, broken before God. People of all ages gave their lives to the Lord, prodigal children returned home, and the hopeless found new hope. On those benches are inscriptions of many who prayed for revival and saw God's promises fulfilled.The wooden benches of Burlington. Marked. Scarred. Inscribed. They represent the hope of His calling, the miracle of answered prayers, the fire of a soul touched by God, and serve as reminders of what God has done¿and can do again.

Download or read book Identities in Flux written by Niyi Afolabi and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on historical and cultural approaches to race relations, Identities in Flux examines iconic Afro-Brazilian figures and theorizes how they have been appropriated to either support or contest a utopian vision of multiculturalism. Zumbi dos Palmares, the leader of a runaway slave community in the seventeenth century, is shown not as an anti-Brazilian rebel but as a symbol of Black consciousness and anti-colonial resistance. Xica da Silva, an eighteenth-century mixed-race enslaved woman who "married" her master and has been seen as a licentious mulatta, questions gendered stereotypes of so-called racial democracy. Manuel Querino, whose ethnographic studies have been ignored and virtually unknown for much of the twentieth century, is put on par with more widely known African American trailblazers such as W. E. B. Du Bois. Niyi Afolabi draws out the intermingling influences of Yoruba and Classical Greek mythologies in Brazilian representations of the carnivalesque Black Orpheus, while his analysis of City of God focuses on the growing centrality of the ghetto, or favela, as a theme and producer of culture in the early twenty-first-century Brazilian urban scene. Ultimately, Afolabi argues, the identities of these figures are not fixed, but rather inhabit a fluid terrain of ideological and political struggle, challenging the idealistic notion that racial hybridity has eliminated racial discrimination in Brazil.

Download or read book Marvels and Miracles written by Maria Woodworth-Etter and published by Christian Pentecostal Book. This book was released on 2013-01-03 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marvels and Miracles is one of the last works written by Maria Woodworth-Etter in her long ministry as an evangelist in the Pentecostal movement. This story recounts many events during her lifetime, from holding tent revival meetings at her own expense, to persecution and violent attacks from local townspeople in attempts to silence her ministry. Contributors such as Stanley Frodsham, F.F. Bosworth, and many others recount the miracles and healings they received through Jesus Christ. With testimonies of healing from doctors, sinners, and saints; there is an overwhelming cloud of witnesses that these miraculous events did in fact take place. This proving what she taught so adamantly, that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and His power to heal has not diminished. It is the same as on the day of Pentecost, in 1924, and today.

Download or read book The Source of Miracles written by Kathleen McGowan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-12-11 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Easter Sunday 2007 the Los Angeles Times reported that two billion people worldwide - nearly a third of the planet's population - were united by one powerful common denominator: The Lord's Prayer. The Lord's Prayer is now, as it was when Jesus taught it to his disciples, the incorruptible formula for personal and global transformation. Kathleen McGowan tells how she came to discover the prayer's transformative power by learning the secret of the Rose with Six Petals-a mosaic window in the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Each petal represents a different teaching found within The Lord's Prayer and is the map to discovering the real secret of how to have the life you truly desire. The book is divided into seven chapters, each representing a primary teaching related to lines in the prayer: faith, surrender, service, abundance, forgiveness, obstacles, and love. Within each chapter are a series of questions designed to make you dig deep into your heart and soul. Relating her story and using the rose formula, McGowan offers readers a unique blueprint to transform their own lives through the power of The Lord's Prayer.
