Book excerpt: Many Blessings: A Tapestry of Accomplished African American Women by Sonnee Weedn, Ph.D. Ten years ago, Marin County psychologist, Dr. Sonnee Weedn, was asked to treat a young, urban, African American woman. Believing that as a white woman living in the reality of de facto segregation, she was not knowledgeable enough to treat this woman in psychotherapy, she set about to learn more about African American culture. This stimulated her thinking about African American women. What was it that allowed them to survive and thrive despite the double prejudice of racism and sexism. She wondered about the historical implications of the confluence of the Civil Rights Movement and the Women's Movement on this particular cohort of women, most who had come of age during law-enforced segregation. She traveled the country for three years, interviewing many African American women, some famous and others unknown except in their own particular circles of influence. She studied these women to determine what encouraged them to transcend discrimination and other obstacles they faced in order to rise up and claim their destinies as powerful and altruistic women. Ultimately, she chose thirty-one of the women she interviewed to represent the seven strengths she identified as having sustained them and allowed them to flourish. She believes that these seven strengths are the historical legacy of all African American women today, and encourages all women, regardless of ethnicity to learn from their example to increase their own resilience and determination.

Download or read book Blessings Unlimited written by John E. Manning and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-07-22 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My purpose and goal for this book is to help anyone who might be in need of finding answers to the questions facing them. This has been my desire for 50 years in the ministry. The length of the ministry is a qualifying factor, plus the wide range of involvements have given me proof of success in helping people who sought out or were present under my ministry. I found out a long time ago, this ministry is much more than standing behind a pulpit. Some of the rewarding parts of the ministry for me have been one on one conversations, small groups in teaching sessions and larger assemblies in funeral services and congregations. My personal approach in every aspect of the ministry is to help people see themselves as God sees them in His Word; then help them see themselves to identify their problems. Drawing from my education and experiences, I see people through eyes of concern and compassion; not as judge and jury. I attribute any and all of my success to a God given grace and understanding.

Download or read book Blessings in Testimonies That Invite Refreshing written by Geraldine C. O’Neal and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-05-31 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventeenth day of January 2016, during morning devotion, the Lord spoke to me the following: “Do what you are going to do for Jesus! Do it quickly, for he is going to make his appearance soon for those who love him so that they can make it!” This is consistent with Romans 9:28, “For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.” King David in the Bible gave fearless testimonies of his trust in God. In 1 Samuel 17:34–35, David said to Saul, “Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.” He continues, “The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine” (1 Samuel 17:37). These are testimonies of faithfulness to his servant then. God is the same. He was faithful then—he is faithful now! “So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives. Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept. . . . And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God” (1 Samuel 30:3–4, 6). As King David’s testimonies encouraged the author, she seeks to encourage the reader with testimonies of defeat, praise, and thanksgiving because of the faithfulness of the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and the ministering angels. Be refreshed!
