James Taylor Sr. Publisher of the Kankakee City News, The Illinois News and Essential Voices magazine This soul-stirring book archives the life journey of Jerry Cummings, the legendary lead tenor for the world-famous group Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, and his rise with Teddy Pendergrass to the pinnacle of the music world.

After leaving the side of Minister Louis Farrakhan in the Nation of Islam, Jerry reached the turning point in his life as he searched for God, realizing that the success of gold/platinum albums and relationships was only a shadow of what he was really searching for.

Download or read book Gold, Glory, Girls written by Paul J. Young and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-11-13 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I want to talk with you about these drives that all men have; gold, glory and girls. I want to keep you from the emptiness that you will certainly experience if these three G's are the focus of your life. Then I want to talk about God, but not in a stuffy, churchy way. You don't need the typical religious approach to life. This often leads to boredom, guilt, business and frankly substitutes the emptiness of gold, glory and girls with another kind of emptiness peddled as the answer to life. I am not going to take you there. I want you to fill the emptiness in your heart and help you find a joy and fulfillment that you have never had before. I want you to experience manly challenge, incredible achievement and find out why you were really made - your true life's purpose. So buckle your seat belt. Get ready for the ride of your life!
Book Synopsis Oh the Glory of It All by : Sean Wilsey
Download or read book Oh the Glory of It All written by Sean Wilsey and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-04-25 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[An] irreverent and remarkably candid memoir about growing up in wealthy eighties San Francisco . . . rollicking, ruthless . . . ultimately generous-hearted.” —Vogue “A vivid mix of brio, self-awareness and sophistication . . . writing well is indeed the best revenge.” —The New York Times Book Review “A monumental piece of work.” —Kirkus Reviews “In the beginning we were happy. And we were always excessive. So in the beginning we were happy to excess.” With these opening lines Sean Wilsey takes us on an exhilarating tour of life in the strangest, wealthiest, and most grandiose of families. Sean's blond-bombshell mother (one of the thinly veiled characters in Armistead Maupin's bestselling Tales of the City) is a 1980s society-page staple, regularly entertaining Black Panthers and movie stars in her marble and glass penthouse, "eight hundred feet in the air above San Francisco; an apartment at the top of a building at the top of a hill: full of light, full of voices, full of windows full of water and bridges and hills." His enigmatic father uses a jet helicopter to drop Sean off at the video arcade and lectures his son on proper hygiene in public restrooms, "You should wash your hands first, before you use the urinal. Not after. Your penis isn't dirty. But your hands are." When Sean, "the kind of child who sings songs to sick flowers," turns nine years old, his father divorces his mother and marries her best friend. Sean's life blows apart. His mother first invites him to commit suicide with her, then has a "vision" of salvation that requires packing her Louis Vuitton luggage and traveling the globe, a retinue of multiracial children in tow. Her goal: peace on earth (and a Nobel Prize). Sean meets Indira Gandhi, Helmut Kohl, Menachem Begin, and the pope, hoping each one might come back to San Francisco and persuade his father to rejoin the family. Instead, Sean is pushed out of San Francisco and sent spiraling through five high schools, till he finally lands at an unorthodox reform school cum "therapeutic community," in Italy. With its multiplicity of settings and kaleidoscopic mix of preoccupations-sex, Russia, jet helicopters, seismic upheaval, boarding schools, Middle Earth, skinheads, home improvement, suicide, skateboarding, Sovietology, public transportation, massage, Christian fundamentalism, dogs, Texas, global thermonuclear war, truth, evil, masturbation, hope, Bethlehem, CT, eventual salvation (abridged list)—Oh the Glory of It All is memoir as bildungsroman as explosion.
Download or read book For the Glory written by Duncan Hamilton and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-05-10 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The untold and inspiring story of Eric Liddell, hero of Chariots of Fire, from his Olympic medal to his missionary work in China to his last, brave years in a Japanese work camp during WWII Many people will remember Eric Liddell as the Olympic gold medalist from the Academy Award winning film Chariots of Fire. Famously, Liddell would not run on Sunday because of his strict observance of the Christian sabbath, and so he did not compete in his signature event, the 100 meters, at the 1924 Paris Olympics. He was the greatest sprinter in the world at the time, and his choice not to run was ridiculed by the British Olympic committee, his fellow athletes, and most of the world press. Yet Liddell triumphed in a new event, winning the 400 meters in Paris. Liddell ran--and lived--for the glory of his God. After winning gold, he dedicated himself to missionary work. He travelled to China to work in a local school and as a missionary. He married and had children there. By the time he could see war on the horizon, Liddell put Florence, his pregnant wife, and children on a boat to Canada, while he stayed behind, his conscience compelling him to stay among the Chinese. He and thousands of other westerners were eventually interned at a Japanese work camp. Once imprisoned, Liddell did what he was born to do, practice his faith and his sport. He became the moral center of an unbearable world. He was the hardest worker in the camp, he counseled many of the other prisoners, he gave up his own meager portion of meals many days, and he organized games for the children there. He even raced again. For his ailing, malnourished body, it was all too much. Liddell died of a brain tumor just before the end of the war. His passing was mourned around the world, and his story still inspires. In the spirit of The Boys in the Boat and Unbroken, For the Glory is both a compelling narrative of athletic heroism and a gripping story of faith in the darkest circumstances.

Book excerpt: God has never stopped performing signs and wonders for those who believe, and He never will. What we are seeing in the dawning days of the new millennium, however, is something altogether new and different. God is suddenly sending a visible glory, a golden glory, as gold dust or glory dust, upon His people. This golden glory is appearing on Christians of every denominational background. It comes to us as we pray and as we worship, but it is also falling upon us as we go about our daily activities. This golden glory is being manifested to those who seek it, and also to some who don't. It is a sovereign act of God to show His presence and His power in these last days. It is a wake-up call for the nations, a visible sign to the whole world, this rain of God's Golden Glory.
