Book Synopsis My life in Grand Rapids, Michigan by : Barbara Jean Palmer
Download or read book My life in Grand Rapids, Michigan written by Barbara Jean Palmer and published by Kindle Direct Publishing. This book was released on with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an autobiographical work of Barbara Jean Palmer who has lived in Grand Rapids, Michigan, almost her entire life since she was two years old. Her life experiences started when she was under five years old. But it was when she was in her early teens, her formative years, that her experiences began to have a profound impact on her life and destiny. They were formative years for her in a very special way, shaping her personality as the following years also would, validating and solidifying her perceptions and beliefs not only religious but across the economic and sociopolitical spectrum. She was a witness to history and a part of some of the events that shaped Grand Rapids in significant ways through the decades. Her personal experiences also constitute an important part of Grand Rapids history in the sense that they reflect, although from a personal perspective, the cumulative experience of other people with a background similar to hers. Her experiences also reflect some of the events which occurred in a larger context – including national – constituting milestones in the long journey toward understanding and harmony among the people of all racial, cultural, historical and ethnic backgrounds in one of the country's large cities. The work is historical as much as it is autobiographical; it's also contemporary from a local and national perspective because of the fundamental issues it raises and addresses in the quest for a better understanding among all people by focusing on the destiny of the city and of the country as a whole.

We all know people who test our resolve-and our nerves: a tough boss, a gossiping friend, irritating neighbors. So we change "Love one another" to "Be nice" or "Tolerate difficult people."

He Is My Life is a ten-week journey to enhancing our relationships with God and people. This study shares biblical insights for learning to walk in love. Each day's selection features room for your thoughts, allowing you to journal and meditate on your personal journey. You'll discover how to receive and share God's love, experience healing from emotional wounds, and deepen your personal relationships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As I look back over my life, I see how the good God has been good to me. We all have a journey that God has planned for us. When I took the wrong path, God redirected my path. My Life, My Story, My Way is not all about me but also about others whom God placed in my path to help me build my character. My character is the only thing going to heaven--not what I have done, not how much money I made or what type of house I live in but my character. God gave me a wonderful mother who demonstrated resilience, compassion, hard work, faith, and love for her family, especially me. God blessed me with a wonderful wife who believed in me and encouraged me to do my best and to have the faith that he will see me through. We all have struggles in life, but it is not the struggles we face but how we react to them. My book shows the struggles along my journey and how God was there to pull me through. God gave me all I needed to be successful and live the life he wanted me to live.

They'll also learn the importance of "scripting" their own responses BEFORE challenging life-situations arise so they are able to think about, pray about, and consider how to face these situations before the scene begins. By contrasting real-life with TV or movies, teens will understand they don't have to get caught up in the drama.

Book Synopsis A City Within a City by : Todd E Robinson
Download or read book A City Within a City written by Todd E Robinson and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A City within a City examines the civil rights movement in the North by concentrating on the struggles for equality in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Historian Todd Robinson studies the issues surrounding school integration and bureaucratic reforms as well as the role of black youth activism to detail the diversity of black resistance. He focuses on respectability within the African American community as a way of understanding how the movement was formed and held together. And he elucidates the oppositional role of northern conservatives regarding racial progress. A City within a City cogently argues that the post-war political reform championed by local Republicans transformed the city's racial geography, creating a racialized "city within a city," featuring a system of "managerial racism" designed to keep blacks in declining inner-city areas. As Robinson indicates, this bold, provocative framework for understanding race relations in Grand Rapids has broader implications for illuminating the twentieth-century African American urban experience in secondary cities.

Book Synopsis My Life with Bonnie and Clyde by : Blanche Caldwell Barrow
Download or read book My Life with Bonnie and Clyde written by Blanche Caldwell Barrow and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-10-08 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bonnie and Clyde were responsible for multiple murders and countless robberies. But they did not act alone. In 1933, during their infamous run from the law, Bonnie and Clyde were joined by Clyde’s brother Buck Barrow and his wife Blanche. Of these four accomplices, only one—Blanche Caldwell Barrow—lived beyond early adulthood and only Blanche left behind a written account of their escapades. Edited by outlaw expert John Neal Phillips, Blanche’s previously unknown memoir is here available for the first time. Blanche wrote her memoir between 1933 and 1939, while serving time at the Missouri State Penitentiary. Following her death, Blanche’s good friend and the executor of her will, Esther L. Weiser, found the memoir wrapped in a large unused Christmas card. Later she entrusted it to Phillips, who had interviewed Blanche several times before her death. Drawing from these interviews, and from extensive research into Depression-era outlaw history, Phillips supplements the memoir with helpful notes and with biographical information about Blanche and her accomplices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world where everyone seems to be preoccupied with "living their best life," some of us are just trying to make it through the day. We find ourselves in a season of life where the bad days seem to outnumber the good . . . by a wide margin. We remember what the prime of our life looked like, and we know that what we're experiencing today isn't it. The good news is, we're not alone. Someone has walked this road before. His name was Job, and he literally had it all . . . until he lost it. As Job looked back on the "prime of my days," he offers us a glimpse into the type of life that is both pleasing to live and pleasing to God. And he points to a resurrection of our prime. Are you curious as to what this sort of life looks like? If yes, then this book is for you.
Book Synopsis Presidential Praise by : C. Edward Spann
Download or read book Presidential Praise written by C. Edward Spann and published by Mercer University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presidential Praise: Our Presidents and Their Hymns offers the most comprehensive coverage ever written of the influence of hymns on the lives and administrations of America's presidents. Each chapter begins with Michael Williams's concise presentation of each president's path to the White House and his accomplishments and failures as president. C. Edward Spann then introduces how each president regarded music, whether or not he was musical, and music in the White House during each president's administration. These hymns may be related to developments in the life of the president, including his spiritual journey, major decisions he had to make as president, or even his selection of the inaugural Scripture. Spann then tells the story of how the hymn was written, both the words and the music. Presenting this scholarly material in an inspiring manner is part of the delight of the book. In doing so, the book covers a panorama of hymnody from 1614 to the 1980s. After an interpretation of the words, it is demonstrated why the chosen hymns were meaningful to each president. The format of each chapter reveals this special emphasis that can't be found elsewhere.
