Book Synopsis A Shining Thread of Hope by : Darlene Clark Hine
Download or read book A Shining Thread of Hope written by Darlene Clark Hine and published by Crown. This book was released on 2009-10-14 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the greatest moments and in the cruelest times, black women have been a crucial part of America's history. Now, the inspiring history of black women in America is explored in vivid detail by two leaders in the fields of African American and women's history. A Shining Thread of Hope chronicles the lives of black women from indentured servitude in the early American colonies to the cruelty of antebellum plantations, from the reign of lynch law in the Jim Crow South to the triumphs of the Civil Rights era, and it illustrates how the story of black women in America is as much a tale of courage and hope as it is a history of struggle. On both an individual and a collective level, A Shining Thread of Hope reveals the strength and spirit of black women and brings their stories from the fringes of American history to a central position in our understanding of the forces and events that have shaped this country.

Book Synopsis HOPE! - God’s Word for our Daily Lives! by : Dennis Smock
Download or read book HOPE! - God’s Word for our Daily Lives! written by Dennis Smock and published by Daily Living Ministries, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-08-01 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have been on a journey that has involved very in-depth study of God’s Word for many, many years. I have heard many different preachers and speakers. I have watched numerous videos and I have read countless articles. With all of this, I have found that nothing compares to actually spending time in God’s Word on a daily basis. You cannot rely on anyone else to tell you what is in His Word. You must spend time in it daily. Preachers can bring clarity to what you read, but they cannot read it for you. You must take the time to read. You must take the time to contemplate. You must take the time to pray for insight and wisdom. God is speaking to each of us. Are we listening? The devotionals that are in this book are compiled from a history of over twenty-three years of devotionals written to make the reader dive deeper into His Word and into their personal lives. They ask poignant questions with respect to the scripture verses and how they impact faith. Hopefully, they make the reader want to dive into the scripture in such a way that they reflect on how their life is living up to our calling as followers of Jesus.

Book Synopsis Leadership in Small Churches by : Kelly Malone
Download or read book Leadership in Small Churches written by Kelly Malone and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership in Small Churches inspires and equips men and women who are called to serve in churches of less than 100 people, which are the majority of churches in the United States. Small churches in the United States suffer from a lack of leadership. On the one hand, there is a shortage of leaders. On the other hand, leaders who serve faithfully sometimes feel ill-equipped to carry out their calling due to inadequate training, especially a lack of training specific to small churches. This volume provides guidance from scholars and practitioners with experience in small churches. Because of their experience in and commitment to ministry in small churches, these writers are well qualified to discuss the breadth of topics in this book. These topics include developing vision, handling conflict, pastoral care, preaching, discipleship, ministry to youth and children, missions, and identifying and training leaders.
Download or read book Music in Cinema written by Michel Chion and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michel Chion is renowned for his explorations of the significance of frequently overlooked elements of cinema, particularly the role of sound. In this inventive and inviting book, Chion considers how cinema has deployed music. He shows how music and film not only complement but also transform each other. The first section of the book examines film music in historical perspective, and the second section addresses the theoretical implications of the crossover between art forms. Chion discusses a vast variety of films across eras, genres, and continents, embracing all the different genres of music that filmmakers have used to tell their stories. Beginning with live accompaniment of silent films in early movie houses, the book analyzes Al Jolson’s performance in The Jazz Singer, the zither in The Third Man, Godard’s patchwork sound editing, the synthesizer welcoming the flying saucer in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and the Kinshasa orchestra in Felicité, among many more. Chion considers both original scores and incorporation of preexisting works, including the use and reuse of particular composers across cinematic traditions, the introduction of popular music such as jazz and rock, and directors’ attraction to atonal and dissonant music as well as musique concrète, of which he is a composer. Wide-ranging and original, Music in Cinema offers a welcoming overview for students and general readers as well as refreshingly new and valuable perspectives for film scholars.

Book Synopsis Like Roses Rising from Concrete by : Gregory E. Bryant
Download or read book Like Roses Rising from Concrete written by Gregory E. Bryant and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These fifty-two spiritual reflections cover a variety of topics that will be of interest to the spiritually curious who want to know more about Christ, the Black Church, Urban America, and even, the late rapper, poet, and actor, Tupac Shakur. Some entries are autobiographical testimonies; others are short theological essays. Most offer the reader ways to apply biblical truth to life’s situations; and more than a few include a social critique of the worst elements of American culture, coupled with references to noteworthy people and events in African American history. Each entry will provide food for the mind, heart, and soul. The title of this book was inspired by the powerful metaphor depicted in Shakur’s famous poem about a rose that resiliently grows up above unyielding forces—forces meant to suppress its potential. These essays originally were crafted through the author’s weekly discipline of preparing spiritual reflections for publication in his congregation’s Sunday morning worship bulletin. What is presented here are expanded or modified versions of these weekly entries. Though none were, or are sermons, together, they are presented in the chronology and thematic focus that Pastor Bryant normally lifts up during the cycle of a year of preaching. The themes reflect those liturgical celebrations that are recognized in many African American mainline congregations from January to December: Epiphany, Black History Month, Lent, Easter, Mother’s Day, Pentecost, Father’s Day, Women’s Day, Ordinary Time, Youth Sunday, Stewardship Month, Senior’s Day, Friends and Family Sunday, Men’s Day, Advent, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and Watch Night. It is the author’s hope that these pastoral essays, each one like a rose ascending and pushing upward, will exalt the beauty of Christ, the strength of faith, the power of the Word of God, and the fascinating story of what God has done and is doing in the world, especially through the lives of those who have been, in the words of the Negro Spiritual, “buked and scorned...and talked about as sure as you were born.”

Book Synopsis Making Space for Storied Leadership in Higher Education by : Elizabeth P. Quintero
Download or read book Making Space for Storied Leadership in Higher Education written by Elizabeth P. Quintero and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes stories of university early childhood faculty members, community activists in southern California, and children and the early childhood teacher education students working with them. The grounding of this research is reconceptualization of postmodern narrative theoretical influences. Through narrative inquiry, the book connects ongoing research to ongoing pedagogy. It explores the following research questions: (1) How do learners across generations create, build upon, and reinvent each other’s stories to make new meanings through consideration of family history, multigenerational knowledge, and experiences?; (2) How do learners’ stories offer new possibilities through leadership that connects Global South knowledge with Global North contexts?; (3) In what ways is it possible to use this framework and methodology in Higher Education to promote systemic consistency in promoting social justice that is generatively inclusive? More than half of the research participants have truly lived bi-culturally, many of the children in the early care and education programs in the USA are from Mexico and Central America. These collaborators truly carry their roots with them as they strive for justice and authenticity in early childhood teacher education and community activists working with families and children.
