Book excerpt: Harriet Sulcer didn't want anybody to know her husband had left home. For more than twenty years she had been leading Bible studies on "The Christian Family," and now her own family was falling apart. Lou was gone for ten years. During that time, their teenage son began his own prodigal journey. Harriet fell into depression and then financial bankruptcy, losing her home, then losing herself. As she lay in the hospital bed, Harriet's daughter told her, "They want to move you to the fifth floor. That's the psychiatric ward. Don't you understand? They cannot help you here. What's brought you to this hospital is you've tried to fix everything, and the bottom line is you can't fix any of it." So Harriet went home, and her nineteen-year-old daughter cared for her. Harriet held her broken family out to God the way a child might give a broken toy to a parent to be fixed.Promise Point tells a powerful story of God's faithfulness of promises broken and promises kept.

Download or read book She Came to Slay written by Erica Armstrong Dunbar and published by 37 Ink. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the bestselling tradition of The Notorious RBG comes a lively, informative, and illustrated tribute to one of the most exceptional women in American history—Harriet Tubman—a heroine whose fearlessness and activism still resonates today. Harriet Tubman is best known as one of the most famous conductors on the Underground Railroad. As a leading abolitionist, her bravery and selflessness has inspired generations in the continuing struggle for civil rights. Now, National Book Award nominee Erica Armstrong Dunbar presents a fresh take on this American icon blending traditional biography, illustrations, photos, and engaging sidebars that illuminate the life of Tubman as never before. Not only did Tubman help liberate hundreds of slaves, she was the first woman to lead an armed expedition during the Civil War, worked as a spy for the Union Army, was a fierce suffragist, and was an advocate for the aged. She Came to Slay reveals the many complexities and varied accomplishments of one of our nation’s true heroes and offers an accessible and modern interpretation of Tubman’s life that is both informative and engaging. Filled with rare outtakes of commentary, an expansive timeline of Tubman’s life, photos (both new and those in public domain), commissioned illustrations, and sections including “Harriet By the Numbers” (number of times she went back down south, approximately how many people she rescued, the bounty on her head) and “Harriet’s Homies” (those who supported her over the years), She Came to Slay is a stunning and powerful mix of pop culture and scholarship and proves that Harriet Tubman is well deserving of her permanent place in our nation’s history.

Download or read book The Voice of Harriet Taylor Mill written by Jo Ellen Jacobs and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2002-09-05 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Voice of Harriet Taylor Mill is a work about collaboration: Harriet's life with her lover, friends, and members of her family; Harriet's joint work with John Stuart Mill; and the author's interaction with the reader. Jo Ellen Jacobs explores and expands the concept of biography using Salman Rushdie's analogy of history as a process of "chutnification." She gives Harriet's life "shape and form -- that is to say, meaning" in a way that will "possess the authentic taste of truth." In the first chapter, the first 30 years of Harriet's life are presented in the format of a first-person diary -- one not actually written by HTM herself. The text is based on letters and historical context, but the style suggests the intimate experience of reading someone's journal. The second chapter continues the chronological account of HTM until her death in 1858. In an interlude between the first and second chapters, Jacobs pauses to explore Harriet's life with John Stuart Mill; and in the final chapter, she argues persuasively that Harriet and John collaborated extensively on many works, including On Liberty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prepare yourself for a unique historical fiction experience that defies traditional expectations. Our series ventures beyond the conventional boundaries, exploring modern themes and employing contemporary language. While our tale is set in the Nineteenth century, its narrative was crafted for the twenty-first century reader. Should you find violence, explicit content, or the use of strong language discomforting, we advise against delving into this series. It is not intended for sensitive readers seeking a gentler reading experience. In a world where Harriet's sticky fingers have always led her into trouble, she found an unexpected haven in Helen's house, where a light touch is not just accepted but welcomed. When tensions rise, suspicion blankets the household, threatening to unravel everything. Desperate to keep hold of everything she’s built, Helen orders everyone left to collaborate on an jewel heist. Harriet manages to take a little off the top for herself. But, when she discovers her precious stash of skimmed diamonds has been tampered with, Maeve knows it is time to go. In a whirlwind of haste, Harriet returns to the last place she ever expected to go. Amidst old friends and familiar foes, she secures an unlikely future, nestled among nuns in a convalescent home for displaced soldiers. She can't stay with the nuns forever, though, and seizes an opportunity to become a nurse in the vibrant city of New Orleans, thrusting herself into the charming life of Doctor Alexander Dwyer. But, the Good Doctor is a temptation she can't afford to indulge, and Harriet is determined to keep him at arms length. In a tale of passion, danger, and redemption, Harriet's journey will test the boundaries of trust, love, and the power of transformation.
