Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I looked up, I was startled by a vision that invaded all of my view. From out of the sun, I watched a line of people walking across the sky toward me. They were covered with sunlight and seemed to be of the sunlight. The first person to appear from within the sunlight was a man. Following behind him was a woman who had a large load in her arms as she walked. The person to follow her was a greater Man. He held an even greater load in His arms. As I looked at this third person, The Lord spoke into my heart and said, "You are carrying a load, but while you carry this load, I will carry you. You are pregnant. Now go and carry Isabella to her parents." Following that man from within the sun, many people were walking. Some of them held things like instruments, and some held tools and equipment while marching. And in this large group, there were others who seemed to be dancing while following in this great formation. The vision came to an end, and I became aware of myself lying on my sheet again. I was in awe at what I had seen and began thinking about what The Lord had spoken to my heart, as I was absolutely sure of His communication with me in that moment. Though every piece of the vision was yet to be interpreted to me, I knew I was pregnant, and I was sure that that baby girl growing inside of me was to be named Isabella.

Download or read book We Will Be Free written by Nancy Koester and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2023-02-21 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sojourner Truth’s powerful voice calls to us through this evocative narrative of faith in action—and her words are more relevant than ever. Though born into slavery, Sojourner Truth would defy the limits placed upon her as a Black woman to become one of the nineteenth century’s most renowned female preachers and civil rights advocates. In We Will Be Free, Nancy Koester chronicles her spiritual journey as an enslaved woman, a working mother, and an itinerant preacher and activist. On Pentecost in 1827, the course of Sojourner Truth’s life was changed forever when she had a vision of Jesus calling her to preach. Though women could not be trained as ministers at the time, her persuasive speaking, powerful singing, and quick wit converted many to her social causes. During the Civil War, Truth campaigned for the Union to abolish slavery throughout the United States, and she personally recruited Black troops for the effort. Her activism carried her to Washington, DC, where she met Abraham Lincoln and ministered to refugees of Southern slavery. Truth’s faith-driven action continued throughout Reconstruction, as she aided freed people, campaigned for reparations, advocated for women’s rights, and defied segregation on public transportation. Sojourner Truth’s powerful voice once echoed in the streets of Washington and New York. Her passion rings out again in Nancy Koester’s vivid writing. As the legacy of slavery and segregation still looms over the United States today, students of American history, Christians, and all interested readers will find inspiration and illumination in Truth’s story.

Download or read book An Unexpected Gift written by Diane Craver and published by Diane Craver. This book was released on 2024-11-11 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EMT Jenna Zimmerman is happily married to handsome Eli but she feels crushed after having two miscarriages, especially since her birth mother has gotten pregnant after having cancer. But living with Eli’s parents, specifically his mother, makes Jenna’s life stressful, which is most likely contributing to her inability to carry a baby to term. When Jenna gets called to a severe buggy accident, she helps to transport an Amish teenager, Isabella, and her fiancé, Justin, to the hospital. Isabella is a few weeks pregnant, and they’ve managed to keep the secret to themselves while waiting to get married in a couple of weeks. When Justin dies from his injuries, Isabella tells Jenna her strict parents will kick her out of the house once they inevitably discover her pregnancy. Isabella is part of the conservative Swartzentruber Amish community where strict laws abide. And there’s no way her parents will allow her to keep the baby. So she asks Jenna and Eli to adopt her child. But Isabella’s parents are furious when they learn of their daughter’s pregnancy and the potential adoption. They won’t allow their grandchild to be adopted by parents that belong to the Old Order Amish, a more liberal sect. They demand that Isabella’s child, even if it will not be in their home, be raised under the tenets of the Swartzentruber community. Jenna fears her dreams of having a child with her husband may be out of her reach once again. As much as she trusts God is faithful in all things, she doesn’t understand why she can’t have a child. And if she can’t adopt Isabella’s baby, and she can’t get pregnant on her own, she’ll never be a mother. Jenna strives to accept what might never be while still clinging to hope.

Download or read book Isabella of Castile written by Giles Tremlett and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-09 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1474, a twenty-three year old woman ascended the throne of Castile, the largest and strongest kingdom in Spain. Ahead of her lay the considerable challenge not only of being a young, female ruler in an overwhelmingly male-dominated world, but also of reforming a major European kingdom that was riddled with crime, corruption, and violent political factionism. Her marriage to Ferdinand of Aragon was crucial to her success, bringing together as it did two kingdoms, but it was a royal partnership in which Isabella more than held her own. Her pivotal reign was long and transformative, uniting Spain and setting the stage for its golden era of global dominance. For by the time of her death in 1504, Isabella had laid the foundations not just of modern Spain, but of one of the world's greatest empires. Acclaimed historian Giles Tremlett chronicles the life of Isabella of Castile as she led her country out of the murky middle ages and harnessed the newest ideas and tools of the early Renaissance to turn her ill-disciplined, quarrelsome nation into a sharper, modern state with a powerful, clear-minded, and ambitious monarch at its centre. With authority, insight and flair he relates the story of this legendary, if controversial, first initiate in a small club of great European queens that includes Elizabeth I of England, Russia's Catherine the Great, and Britain's Queen Victoria.

Download or read book Lee s Maverick General written by Hal Bridges and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the high-ranking gray uniforms Daniel Harvey Hill caused a stir as a sash of red in a bullpen would. Hot-tempered, outspoken, he stormed his way through the Civil War, leading his soldiers at Malvern Hill and Antietam, and sometimes stepping on the toes of superiors. But he was much more than a seemingly impervious shield against Union bullets: a devout Christian, a family man, a gloomy fatalist, an intellectual. Lee’s Maverick General makes clear that he was often caught in the crossfire of military politics and ultimately made a scapegoat for the costly, barren victory at Chickamauga. Hal Bridges, drawing on Hill’s unpublished papers, offers an outsider’s inside views of Lee, Jefferson Davis, Braxton Bragg, James Longstreet, Stonewall Jackson, and others up and down the embattled line. In his introduction, Gary W. Gallagher rounds out the portrait of the controversial Hill, whose reading of military affairs was always perceptive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bleeding Heart: The Eternal Love Novels By: Shellbie Breaux What would you do in a world that was not what it seemed? In a world that our deepest, darkest fears, and the boogie monsters that we swore were under our beds at night were real. Join me in a story about a girl that should have never existed and a guy that was disowned by his pack and left to fight for himself. What will happen and is love to overcome all boundaries and taboos of their world? My feet pounding against the ground. My heart racing to keep up, I ran, I ran as hard I could, I can’t fail. I thought I can’t fail her, she must live for Abigail, she must live for all who suffered at the hands of those monsters. His speed slowed at the memory of his beautiful wife that died only a couple hours ago giving birth to his one and only baby girl. FLEE!! His Bain screamed at him. They are right behind me. RUN!! He could sense his pursuit behind him, he could hear them thrashing through the forest screaming at and cursing as they chased him. He increased his speed. Yes, he thought chase me because every step you take is a step away from my angel Isabella, you will not have her. “Give up they screamed behind me there is nowhere to run you will burn for the crimes you committed against your race.” He couldn’t help but laugh at that as he ran through the thick brush and undergrowth of the forest in the northern mountains of Montana, he laughed so hard he almost lost his footing, gathering his wits again, he screamed over his shoulder, “If loving another is a crime, then I would do it a thousand times more.” The Bleeding Heart follows a young lady who progresses through life that is constantly challenging her in her mortality, her personality, and basically everything about her. It throws obstacles at her that normal people probably wouldn't get over and with her. It makes her personality and her overall character grow in to a story line hero, even though she doesn't really want to be a hero. The Bleeding Heart reminds us that we should never think we don't have a voice, and even though this life may make us seem as if we are on a rollercoaster going up and down and we can't seem to stop, we can't seem to make anything go right, we do have people who surround us who care enough about us to help.
