Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They left in the middle of the night—often carrying little more than the knowledge to follow the North Star. Between 1830 and the end of the Civil War in 1865, an estimated one hundred thousand slaves became passengers on the Underground Railroad, a journey of untold hardship, in search of freedom. In Through Darkness to Light: Photographs Along the Underground Railroad, Jeanine Michna-Bales presents a remarkable series of images following a route from the cotton plantations of central Louisiana, through the cypress swamps of Mississippi and the plains of Indiana, north to the Canadian border— a path of nearly fourteen hundred miles. The culmination of a ten-year research quest, Through Darkness to Light imagines a journey along the Underground Railroad as it might have appeared to any freedom seeker. Framing the powerful visual narrative is an introduction by Michna-Bales; a foreword by noted politician, pastor, and civil rights activist Andrew J. Young; and essays by Fergus M. Bordewich, Robert F. Darden, and Eric R. Jackson.

Book excerpt: In the most extraordinary way, the wisdom of this book invites you to fall in love with the human condition and offers endless compassion for every Soul walking the planet. A Light in the Darkness is the true story of an incredible visitation from God that began for Phyllis Leavitt in 1994 at the darkest time of her life. Although she had prayed for God's help, she was totally unprepared when one day, God literally spoke. There was no question that a source of Divine Love and profound Wisdom came to her as she wrote in her journal. She was taken on a startling and sometimes terrifying journey through past lives and way beyond that, to a new understanding of what all our Souls are doing here in human form and where Soul wants to take us. Her personal story is one footprint on the long road we have all walked as human beings, a small opening into a vast inpouring of Light on the Road Home. A Light in the Darkness will open your heart to the Divine meaning and purpose of all human struggle and it will open your mind to your personal place in God's Love and the evolution of human consciousness.

Download or read book Light in the Darkness written by Heino Falcke and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Bestseller On April 10, 2019, award-winning astrophysicist Heino Falcke presented the first image ever captured of a black hole at an international press conference—a turning point in astronomy that Science magazine called the scientific breakthrough of the year. That photo was captured with the unthinkable commitment of an intercontinental team of astronomers who transformed the world into a global telescope. While this image achieved Falcke’s goal in making a black hole “visible” for the first time, he recognizes that the photo itself asks more questions for humanity than it answers. Light in the Darkness takes us on Falcke’s extraordinary journey to the darkest corners of the universe. From the first humans looking up at the night sky to modern astrophysics, from the study of black holes to the still-unsolved mysteries of the universe, Falcke asks, in even the greatest triumphs of science, is there room for doubts, faith, and a God? A plea for curiosity and humility, Light in the Darkness sees one of the great minds shaping the world today as he ponders the big, pressing questions that present themselves when we look up at the stars.

Download or read book From Darkness Into the Light written by Marino Restrepo and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2014-07-31 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work that you are holding in your hands now is the result of a human life full of drama, mysticism and experiences that may seem certainly contradictory for those who are far away from God. In these pages you will find a human life intertwined in the most serious errors and dangers resulting from an existence that lacked spiritual awareness and was flooded with the mundane ambitions of a heart that always wanted to do good and was able do so only after great effort. You will also find the fruit of the author's encounter with his Creator; in it, God's mercy and forgiveness rescued a wasted life from the ashes of sin and transformed it into bread of evangelization for the whole world. You will also be able to appreciate the Gospel telling us as how God takes the fool to embarrass the sage. Marino Restrepo never studied theology, neither was he educated in the religious sciences. However, during his life as a missionary, he has made possible for theology academicians and high-level ecclesiastic scholars to hear the simplicity of a Gospel infused in the author's heart by the Holy Spirit. You are kindly invited to navigate through the paths of God's miracle.

Download or read book Time for Transformation written by Margarete van den Brink and published by Rudolf Steiner Press. This book was released on 2008-10-08 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in an "interesting" era. In Dickens's words, it is "the best of times," it is "the worst of times." On the one hand, we encounter increasing violence and lack of conscience in the world, while on the other, we see many becoming increasingly aware and spiritually oriented. The great traditions of East and West--ancient Egyptian, Mayan, Hindu, and Christian--foretold that our time would become a critical period of transition, from materialistic preoccupation to a more spiritual focus. Esoteric teaching tells us that, in this period of transition, we will be confronted by the problem of good and evil and, consequently, by growing fear, insecurity, and violence in both society and in our own souls. Such phenomena are part of our unique time and announce the birth of a new era--socially, culturally, and inwardly. It all points to the single fact that now is the time for transformation. In this brief, life-changing book, the authors show how we can develop during this critical period of transition, moving through the darkness to the light by breaking the spell of evil. Time for Transformation offers guidance, wisdom, and encouragement in this essential in for our changing times. C O N T E N T S: Introduction 1. The Negative Forces at Work in Our Society 2.

Book excerpt: The Book is ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS! - Though our way of life, that is, our religion as most understand what a way of life is, is to provide systematic paradigms, exemplifying codes of conduct for the sanctity and management of life, and to ensure that we as humans are in a constant overall state of improvement, our way of life continues with much clutter from sources that only serve to hinder positive growth. Life is about the psychology of relationships - the inner workings and outer workings of who we are as individuals striving to live life representative of an ideal truth, or ideal truths. The question becomes, is there an ideal life; hence, ideal existence? The answer becomes there are many, and of these many ideal existences - ideal life's, which will we choose to follow?
