Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bob Jones University is a Christian, fundamentalist, nondenominational liberal arts school in Greenville, South Carolina. BJU was founded in 1927 by Christian evangelist Bob Jones Sr., who was against the secularization of higher education and the influence of religious liberalism in denominational colleges. For most of the twentieth century, BJU branded itself as the “World’s Most Unusual University” because of its separatist culture. Many BJU students come from fundamentalist communities and are aware of BJU’s strict rules and conservative lifestyle. So why would queer students enroll at BJU? A former queer student of BJU himself, Lance Weldy has come to terms with his own involvement with the institution and has reached out to other queer students to help represent the range of queer experience in this restrictive atmosphere. BJU and Me: Queer Voices from the World’s Most Christian University provides behind-the-scenes explanations from nineteen former BJU students from the past few decades who now identify as LGBT+. They write about their experiences, reflect on their relationships with a religious institution, and describe their vulnerability under a controlling regime. Some students hid their sexuality and graduated under the radar; others transferred to other schools but faced reparative therapy elsewhere; some endured mandatory counseling sessions on campus; while still others faced incredible obstacles after being outed by or to the BJU administration. These students give voices to their queer experiences at BJU and share their unique stories, including encounters with internal and/or external trauma and their paths to self-validation and recovery. Often their journeys led them out of fundamentalism and the BJU network entirely.

Book excerpt: Bob Jones was only a man. He would have been the first to acknowledge his sins, his faults, his failings. But he was a man whom God used. Having given his heart to the Lord as a little boy from a simple country home in Southeast Alabama, he gave Him his life as well. God took the willing clay and fashioned a vessel for His own use. God used him as a faithful evangelist, a friend to sinners, a preacher with power -- the power of the Holy Spirit of God. God used him as a fearless prophet, an enemy of God's enemies. God used him as a fruitful educator. Sensing a compelling need, at the prompting of the Spirit of God, Bob Jones founded a college for Christian young people which, with the prayers and support of faithful believers, has grown under the evident blessing of heaven to become the university which bears his name -- the world's largest fundamental Christian university. For more than half a century, its graduates have proclaimed worldwide -- in businesses, in classrooms, in pulpits, and in homes -- the testimony of God's saving grace. - Back cover.

Download or read book Opportunity Knocks written by Senator Tim Scott and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this memoir about overcoming adversity in America, the U. S. Senator responsible for creating "opportunity zones" explains how hard work and community growth can drive businesses and end poverty. Senator Tim Scott knows adversity. As the son of a single mother from North Charleston, South Carolina, he struggled to get through school and had his dreams of a college football career shattered by a car wreck. But thanks to his mother and a few mentors along the way, he learned that "failure isn't failure unless you quit." He also learned that it's hard work and perseverance, not a government handout, that will get you ahead in life. Today, Senator Scott is the only black Republican in the Senate, and he believes that investment and commerce are the best ways to rebuild our most impoverished communities. This is the idea behind his signature piece of legislation, the "opportunity zones" program, which President Trump has strongly endorsed. The program provides tax incentives for businesses that invest in low-income urban areas, seeking to replace things like welfare and government assistance. In Opportunity Knocks, Senator Scott will tell his life story with a focus on adversity and opportunity. He will teach readers about the principles of hard work and hope while addressing the dangers of veering too far toward socialist policies. The book will also not shy away from discussions of racism and racial inequality in the United States and will recount some of Senator Scott's own brushes with racism as well as the many discussions he's had with people who want to help, including President Trump.
