Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today’s world there’s a lot to worry about such as the disruptions of the pandemic, social unrest, financial uncertainty, and more. But with much necessity, if we hear him, the Lord reminds us that, despite it all, we have so much to be grateful for. The beginning of a series of devotions and teachings on the spiritual fruits of righteous living, author Dr. Tricia Thomas Anderson challenges us to concentrate on thanking God for the countless blessings, great and small, that he has bestowed and reduce the urge to focus on the negative. Reflecting on her own experiences, she leads us through a forty-two-day devotional and journal experience to encourage observable change while witnessing and expressing thanksgiving for the grace God offers daily. Tread in Grateful Waters demonstrates how to put praise, honor, worship, and gratitude at the forefront before expressing our needs and desires when we talk with and reflect on the Lord while drawing us closer to him.

Download or read book Madness Is Catching written by Edward Radclyffe and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-07-18 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stateville is one of the strangest towns in the South. Home to State University, which makes the dubious claim to be the finest public university in the Deep South, it is an island of slightly liberal values in the Southern sea of blue-collar and military tradition. And caught between middle-class America and the sharecropper-cum-Klansman past are the educated unemployables who pass as Southern bohemia: artists who can create only when the moonlight is in the magnolias and the utilities have been cut off, writers who struggle to pen modern novels but keep coming back to the War (the only war, it would seem down South), revolutionaries who pose as Marxes and Lenins of reaction but simply cannot persuade the South to rise again, poets who spread chaos and disorder, and angry dishwashers who curse the gods for denying them the right to become movie stars. Their rudderless lives, and how they are changed forever (not necessarily for the better), are the subject of Madness is Catching, a picaresque comedy of idleness that presents classic Southern vices in a new and universal light. Tom Spaulding is one of State Universitys most illustrious dropouts, having earned nearly two hundred credit hoursalmost entirely in electivesand been expelled for refusing to declare a major in anything other than distressed Southern gentleman. At thirty years old, he has never held a full-time job, and it is with the greatest reluctance that he holds a part-time sinecure. He prefers to be known as an artist, although the last time he produced any art was during the Starving Time, when a parental check failed to arrive. After all, to quote Spaulding when on a full stomach, Doing is not as significant as being. Tom Jenkins graduated from State University again and again, but so far it hasnt done him much financial good. He spends his days writing free-verse epics completely unrelated to his near-Ph.D. in polar history (he would have been the first student at a Southern university to write a dissertation on early efforts to cross Antarctica via snowmobile), as well as propaganda tracts encouraging Southerners to rise up and peacefully and democratically overthrow the Yankee oppressors. To supplement his predictably meager income from poetry and propaganda, Jenkins runs a flea-market stall where he sells books recovered from a library dumpster. With the fine clothing, furniture, and surprising luxuries he also finds in dumpsters and thrift shops, Jenkins is able to ape his supposed planter ancestors, a uniquely Southern way of life. Tom Rothman spends his days waiting tables at a truck stop, a great fall from his upper-middle-class youth, when he came to Stateville planning to enroll at the university. Now he provides service with a sneer, grumbling at his customers under his breath, and grumbling loudly and profanely to his friends about the endless ways in which life has ill-used him. But there remains a kernel of seemingly hopeless ambition that Rothman cannot forever ignore. Reginald OBryan, a former carnival barker now on work-related disability, is distinguished among his associates for his unparalleled and cynical indolence. Theres much to be said against work, he tells a receptive Spaulding. Its certainly a destroyer of initiative. OBryan becomes an elder statesman of sloth and a beacon of depravity to his younger friends. A one-man Devils workshop, the only question is whether OBryan will be punished or rewarded by the Southern powersand Powersthat be. Through one adventure, free meal, disaster, and embarrassment after another, this growing band of Southerners fails to learn any lessons at all, unless it is that persistence can be a great waste of time. From the hallowed mock-Tudor-mock-Gothic halls of State University to the inside of a clean and well-lit dumpster, to the offensively uncharitable Megathrift charity store, the lost Sou

Download or read book The Poisoned City written by Anna Clark and published by Metropolitan Books. This book was released on 2018-07-10 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the people of Flint, Michigan, turned on their faucets in April 2014, the water pouring out was poisoned with lead and other toxins. Through a series of disastrous decisions, the state government had switched the city’s water supply to a source that corroded Flint’s aging lead pipes. Complaints about the foul-smelling water were dismissed: the residents of Flint, mostly poor and African American, were not seen as credible, even in matters of their own lives. It took eighteen months of activism by city residents and a band of dogged outsiders to force the state to admit that the water was poisonous. By that time, twelve people had died and Flint’s children had suffered irreparable harm. The long battle for accountability and a humane response to this man-made disaster has only just begun. In the first full account of this American tragedy, Anna Clark's The Poisoned City recounts the gripping story of Flint’s poisoned water through the people who caused it, suffered from it, and exposed it. It is a chronicle of one town, but could also be about any American city, all made precarious by the neglect of infrastructure and the erosion of democratic decision making. Places like Flint are set up to fail—and for the people who live and work in them, the consequences can be fatal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From nineteenth-century public baths to today's private backyard havens, swimming pools have long been a provocative symbol of American life. In this social and cultural history of swimming pools in the United States, Jeff Wiltse relates how, over the years, pools have served as asylums for the urban poor, leisure resorts for the masses, and private clubs for middle-class suburbanites. As sites of race riots, shrinking swimsuits, and conspicuous leisure, swimming pools reflect many of the tensions and transformations that have given rise to modern America.
