Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On August 7, 1970, a revolt by Black prisoners in a Marin County courthouse stunned the nation. In its aftermath, Angela Davis, an African American activist-scholar who had campaigned vigorously for prisoners' rights, was placed on the FBI's "ten most wanted list." Captured in New York City two months later, she was charged with murder, kidnapping, and conspiracy. Her trial, chronicled in this "compelling tale" (Publishers Weekly), brought strong public indictment. The Morning Breaks is a riveting firsthand account of Davis's ordeal and her ultimate triumph, written by an activist in the student, civil rights, and antiwar movements who was intimately involved in the struggle for her release. First published in 1975, and praised by The Nation for its "graphic narrative of [Davis's] legal and public fight," The Morning Breaks remains relevant today as the nation contends with the political fallout of the Sixties and the grim consequences of institutional racism. For this edition, Bettina Aptheker has provided an introduction that revisits crucial events of the late 1960s and early 1970s and puts Davis's case into the context of that time and our own—from the killings at Kent State and Jackson State to the politics of the prison system today. This book gives a first-hand account of the worldwide movement for Angela Davis's freedom and of her trial. It offers a unique historical perspective on the case and its continuing significance in the contemporary political landscape.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In stark contrast to the common belief that youth ministers require nothing less than a light show, smoke machine, and sweaty rock bands to reach teenagers' souls, more and more youth have actually been moving toward depth and quiet-and away from fluff and noise. Creeds, candles, silence, and ancient spiritual practices are all gaining understanding and popularity among young people, who are realizing that there are treasures in tradition. As Morning Breaks and Evening Sets is a tool for unearthing, dusting off, and tapping into these treasures. As Morning Breaks and Evening Sets provides an introduction to the biblical form of prayer known as the Liturgy of the Hours-a rich and time-tested way for Christians to pray with the whole community of faith, using the source of its hope, the inspired Scriptures. This type of prayer immerses believers in the poetic word of God found in the Psalms, scriptural canticles, and scriptural readings. As Morning Breaks and Evening Sets contains seventeen prayer experiences designed to put the hearts and minds of adolescents in touch with the sacred. This is a book of simple yet profound prayer experiences that speak to the everyday moments in the lives of young people. Here young people will participate in the venerable practice of using the Scriptures to offer praise, thanksgiving, and intercession. A corresponding music collection on CD for As Morning Breaks and Evening Sets is available through GIA Publications. Three of today's top liturgical composers, Tony Alonso, Michael Mahler, and Lori True, composed the songs. The CD, titled As Morning Breaks and Evening Sets: Psalms, Canticles, and Hymns for the Liturgy of the Hours, contains seventeen contemporary and highly accessible musical settings for use with this book.

Book excerpt: There are multitudes of people just as I was, misguided, deceived, hurting, and hurting others, and hopeless, without even a guess as to how to fix the situation. This book unveils the hopelessness and blindness of a person who does not know the Savior Jesus Christ. It speaks to the struggles of humanity in general and especially of those that have not be born again. It shows people that in spite of their hate, prejudices, and sinful indulgences that there is a reality of deliverance that is hidden from them, but God is willing to reveal it to them, and unless he does they are hopelessly forever lost: For we cannot find God by searching. Man must believe what God has said and respond favorably to that light that is given. God is real, and is willing to save us if we believe Him. What is life all about if we live and die and that is it? That is not it, for though we cannot see it while we are in unbelief; it is still true that man knows there is more; for God has put it in him. He is not like an animal that cannot reason. This book tells of one without hope who found hope, and of one who came to a place of decision and that decision was to respond positively to the Savior, who made it possible for him to be right with God through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ upon the cross and His rising from the grave on the third day. This book shows that no one of his own merits is innocent before God, and that it is important lost humanity see them, as they are, sinners out of relationship with our Lord. Lastly, it shows that even as Christians it is possible to have struggles, and that God does reward our faith if we want to get to know Him better. Let us acquaint ourselves with Him.

Download or read book When Day Breaks written by Mary Jane Clark and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the day she died, Constance Young was the undisputed star of morning television. But her plans to move herself and her loyal audience to another network were cancelled when she ended up at the bottom of her swimming pool. And the fabled unicorn amulet that Constance had been wearing during her final hours—a gift from King Arthur to his beloved Guinevere and the centerpiece of the upcoming Camelot exhibit at New York's Cloisters museum—is missing. A morning show veteran and now anchor of the KEY Evening Headlines, Eliza Blake is shocked by the death of her former colleague, and is determined to discover who wanted Constance out of the way . . . and why. To do so, she enlists the aid of three KEY News coworkers: "Jane-of-all-trades" Annabelle Murphy, who can switch from producing to sleuthing at a moment's notice; charming and fearless cameraman extraordinaire B.J. D'Elia to add brains, brawn, and a much-needed male perspective to the team; and Dr. Margo Gonzalez, on-air psychiatrist, who understands the complex puzzles of the human mind. Calling themselves "The Sunrise Suspense Society," they set out to get to the bottom of the heinous murder, in a case that will test their ingenuity and their courage to the very limits. The deeper they dig, the more twisted the trail to Constance's killer becomes—as the list of suspects grows longer by the minute. Was it her spurned and enraged medievalist lover, or a muckraking author who blamed her for ruining her life? Perhaps money was the motive, and Constance's sister, jealous of her wealth and fame, was responsible. Or possibly someone at Key News was angry enough—or frightened enough—to commit cold-blooded murder. The one sure thing is that Constance Young made a lot of enemies—and now one of them is Eliza's enemy as well. And the closer she and the Society get to unmasking the murderer, the closer they each get to dying, suddenly . . . and brutally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Suspenseful . . . startling plot twists and incisive commentary on the social unrest of a coal-mining town during the Great Depression . . . a breathtaking ending.” —Publishers Weekly In 1930, twenty-five-year-old Violet travels with her sixteen-year-old sister, Lily, from Scranton, Pennsylvania, to the Good Shepherd Infant Asylum in Philadelphia, so Lily can deliver her illegitimate child in secret. In doing so, Violet jeopardizes her engagement to her sweetheart, Stanley Adamski. Meanwhile, Mother Mary Joseph, who runs the Good Shepherd, has no idea the asylum’s physician is involved in eugenics and experimenting on girls with various sterilization techniques. Five years later, Lily and Violet are back in Scranton, one married, one about to be, each finding her own way in a place where a woman’s worth is tied to her virtue. Against the backdrop of the sweeping eugenics movement and rogue coal mine strikes, the Morgan sisters must choose between duty and desire. Either way, they risk losing their marriages and each other. The follow-up to Barbara J. Taylor’s debut, Sing in the Morning, Cry at Night—named one of the Best Summer Books of 2014 by Publishers Weekly—All Waiting is Long continues her Dickensian exploration of the Morgan family. “Taylor’s characters—a cast of nuns and prostitutes, mobsters and miners, social activists and church busybodies—reflect the varying pressures and expectations of small-town life with rich, insightful prose and dialogue that rings true to each character’s voice. Will the web of lies the two sisters weave around themselves survive? You’ll have to read it yourself to find out. Recommended.” —Historical Novel Review “Powerful . . . Every page is saturated with the 1930s milieu as the sisters navigate the adversities of their reality . . . The overall result is a thought-provoking book club discussion cornucopia.” —Booklist (starred review)
