Download or read book The Sixth Borough written by Myron S. Lubell and published by Author House. This book was released on 2013-04-03 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1951 Miami Beach, Florida was one of the most popular resort cities in America; the warm weather and tranquil beaches of this tropical paradise attracted thousands of winter visitors, mostly Jewish tourists who made the two day drive from New York. In addition, the resident population of this small island was primarily from New York. Thus, the city of Miami Beach was sometimes referred to as the SIXTH BOROUGH of New York. However, if you ventured off the island and crossed the beautiful expanse of Biscayne Bay you were in another world; you were in the deep south, where Jews were often envisioned as demons with horns, colored people were second class citizens, and racial laws were reminiscent of Nuremberg and Berlin. Myron Lindell was twelve when he moved from Chicago, where he was a secular Jew, barely aware of his religious or ethnic heritage. But, In Miami Beach, on a Jewish Island, he had an odd feeling he was different. He survived the move by blending fantasy with reality, and if reality was more than he could handle, he escaped by writing adolescent observations in a journal, creating imaginative short stories and essays, which he rarely shared with anyone except his father, a few teachers, and a street smart female classmate. This compilation of memoirs is not a documentary; it is just a testimony to the value of simple memories. Too often, historians have forgotten the individual view, the poetic view, which might be closer to reality than the consensus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn how to break your chains of bondage or help a loved one in addiction understand the supernatural power of the enemy that has been keeping them in bondage. Find out how to fight with the authority given to you by God through his Son Jesus Christ There was a time I was lost in a hopeless pit of pain, bound by chains of addiction, and overcome by spirits of darkness. I was engulfed by a sickness that seemed impossible to overcome, not knowing the thoughts that overtook my mind were all lies from the enemy. My body was in such pain and my mind was so hijacked by the enemy I could never imagine a life without drugs. This was the hopelessness that surrounded me. I could only accept that I believed I was a worthless nobody. Broken and lost in a world of chaos and evil, I was faced with the reality of what I had done, what I had become. I cried out to the only one that could help me (God), for this was way beyond human help. My eyes were opened, logic became a blur, the God that I had run from for so long heard my cry. The demons I was in bondage to became surreal. I now faced a fight of the supernatural, in which I was shown how deceived and embedded in lies the enemy had me. I was engulfed in shame, anger, pain, and unforgiveness, for this is what the enemy fed upon. Jesus, in all his glory and mercy, rescued me. He pulled me from Satan's grasp. I have been redeemed and set free through the Supernatural power of Jesus Christ. For Jesus already won the battle for us by sacrificing himself and conquering death. We have the opportunity to live with him in eternity. Therefore we do not go to victory, but through Jesus we come from victory.

Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "Running A Thousand Miles For Freedom – Incredible Escape of William & Ellen Craft from Slavery" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. "Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom" chronicles the daring escape of William and Ellen Craft which is often known as the most ingenious plot in fugitive slave history. While Ellen posed as a white male planter William, her husband, posed as her personal servant. The couple cleverly travelled by train and steamboat, escaped nail-biting detection and arrived in Philadelphia on Christmas Day. Excerpt: "It is a common practice in the slave States for ladies, when angry with their maids, to send them to the calybuce sugar-house, or to some other place established for the purpose of punishing slaves, and have them severely flogged; and I am sorry it is a fact, that the villains to whom those defenceless creatures are sent, not only flog them as they are ordered, but frequently compel them to submit to the greatest indignity." William Craft (1824–1900) and Ellen Craft (1826–1891) were slaves from Macon, Georgia in the United States who escaped to the North in December 1848. Their daring escape was widely publicized, making them among the most famous of fugitive slaves in America. But due to the controversial Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 they had to immigrate to Britain for safety where they continued to garner support for the abolishment of slavery.
