Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millie, the oldest of twelve children, grew up in the only house on a small island in the Philippines. Her days were spent doing chores and helping with the children. It was a hard life, and food was often scarce. They did what had to be done in order to survive day by day. This was how Millie felt life was for everyone, because that was all she knew. Millie's life changed as she got older, and her father noticed her growing into a beautiful young woman. At night, she would roll herself inside her floor mat to protect herself from her father's attempts to have his way with her. She felt the only way she could survive was to run away from home. It was difficult for her to leave her mother and siblings, because she loved them and knew she was the one who did most of the hard work for the family. Several times her attempts to escape ended with her father and mother finding her and bringing her back. It was by the hand of God that she was finally able to escape for good. God guided Millie through good times and bad times. The Lord always provided what and whom she needed as Millie found her way on her own. This was when Millie truly realized it was God who was taking care of her, because God was always a step ahead of her. Millie went through difficult times, but God always created something good from a bad situation.
Download or read book In the Hands of a Happy God written by Howard Dorgan and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The investigation of Primitive Baptist Universalists -- Calvinist 'No-Hellers, ' which sounds for all the world like an oxymoron -- requires the exact type of seasoned and comprehensive field experience which Dorgan has brought to it with meticulous care and insight. -- Deborah Vansau McCauley, author of Appalachian Mountain ReligionAmong the many forms of religious practice found in the ridges and hollows of Central Appalachia, one of the most intriguing -- and least understood -- is that of the Primitive Baptist Universalists (PBUs). Popularly known as the No-Hellers, this small Baptist sub-denomination rejects the notion of an angry God bent on punishment and retribution and instead embraces the concept of a happy God who consigns no one to eternal damnation. This book is the first in-depth study of the PBUs and their beliefs.As Howard Dorgan points out, the designation No-Heller is something of a misnomer. Primitive Baptist Universalists, he notes, believe in hell -- but they see it as something that exists in this life, in the temporal world, rather than in an afterlife. For a PBU, sinfulness is the given state of natural man, and hell a reality of earthly life -- the absence-from-God's-blessing torment that sin generates. PBUs further believe that, at the moment of Resurrection, all temporal existence will end as all human-kind joins in a wholly egalitarian heaven, the culmination of Christ's universal atonement.In researching this book, Dorgan spent considerable time with PBU congregations, interviewing their members and observing their emotionally charged and joyous worship services. He deftly combines lucid descriptions of PBU beliefs with richly texturedvignettes portraying the people and how they live their faith on a daily basis. He also explores a fascinating possibility concerning PBU origins: that a strain of early- nineteenth-century American Universalism reached the mountains of Appalachia and there fused with Primitive Baptist theology to form this subdenomination, which barely exists outside a handful of counties in Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky, and West Virginia.Like Dorgan's earlier books, In the Hands of a Happy God offers an insightful blend of ethnography, history, and theological analysis that will appeal to both Appalachian scholars and all students of American religion.

Book excerpt: The Light Lord, as I kneel beside my bed And I begin to pray Your Spirit overwhelms me As I search for words to say. As I close my eyes and bow my head I see a shining light Coming closer towards me Brightening up the night. As I let the light surround me I keep perfectly still As silent tears fall, I say "Father, help me to do Your Will." You pulled me out of the darkness When all my hope was gone You gently set me on my feet As Your Hand I leant upon. You showed me all the goodness Lord That I had never known And the seed You planted in me At last, has finally grown. Then a voice inside me spoke aloud Open your eyes child and see. The light around you will remain And forever more will be. I chose you a long, long time ago But it had to be your choice To break away from Satan's power Now at last we can rejoice. The angels sang and also cried When you first came to me. They surrounded you with their love As you accepted The Holy Trinity' Things will become hard at first As Satan begins to fight But keep at peace and don't forget The brightness of this light. Now it's time for you to sleep And with you I'll remain Keep your faith and hang on to me And I'll take away your pain.' Don't take away Your Light' I said As it began to dim Do not be afraid,' said the Lord As I've planted the Light within.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was quite chilly and I got up with a start, feeling the roadside dirt on my lips. I was, at this time, one of many children on the street – dirty, hungry, with nowhere to go. The night’s stale loaf of bread had already been digested and I was ravenous. Nevertheless, I started the morning's work. This was at a tea shop, where I carried fifty buckets of water, two at a time, over some hundred meters. The chore took the best part of two hours and young as I was, I could have eaten a ton by the end of it! Instead, I got a fistful of watery rice and a cup of tea. We laboured a good fourteen hours each day, not for money, but from the dire need of those few and paltry meals. Come night, we fell asleep on cold, bare floors and crawling insects feasted on our shivering flesh. This book is for all the sorry street-bound children of our world; vulnerable, struggling to get by on a few rupees and embraced only by despair. As citizens and as humans, we must pull them out from this state, educate them, give them homes and, above all, their lost childhood. S Hariharan runs a BPO business and lives in Mumbai with his wife and two children. An avid traveller, he plans to cover 200 countries before he turns sixty. He is passionate about cooking, philosophy and improving the life of street children across the world. The author can be reached at [email protected]
