Forsaking All Others
Author: Charles F. Robinson
Publisher: Univ. of Tennessee Press
ISBN: 1572337400
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
An intensely dramatic true story, Forsaking All Others recounts the fascinating case of an interracial couple who attempted, in defiance of society’s laws and conventions, to formalize their relationship in the post-Reconstruction South. It was an affair with tragic consequences, one that entangled the protagonists in a miscegenation trial and, ultimately, a desperate act of revenge. From the mid-1870s to the early 1880s, Isaac Bankston was the proud sheriff of Desha County, Arkansas, a man so prominent and popular that he won five consecutive terms in office. Although he was married with two children, around 1881 he entered into a relationship with Missouri Bradford, an African American woman who bore his child. Some two years later, Missouri and Isaac absconded to Memphis, hoping to begin a new life there together. Although Tennessee lawmakers had made miscegenation a felony, Isaac’s dark complexion enabled the couple to apply successfully for a marriage license and take their vows. Word of the marriage quickly spread, however, and Missouri and Isaac were charged with unlawful cohabitation. An attorney from Desha County, James Coates, came to Memphis to act as special prosecutor in the case. Events then took a surprising turn as Isaac chose to deny his white heritage in order to escape conviction. Despite this victory in court, however, Isaac had been publicly disgraced, and his sense of honor propelled him into a violent confrontation with Coates, the man he considered most responsible for his downfall. Charles F. Robinson uses Missouri and Isaac’s story to examine key aspects of post-Reconstruction society, from the rise of miscegenation laws and the particular burdens they placed on anyone who chose to circumvent them, to the southern codes of honor that governed both social and individual behavior, especially among white men. But most of all, the book offers a compelling personal narrative with important implications for our supposedly more tolerant times.

Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
Forsaking all to follow Jesus is a book that makes a call to our generation to follow Jesus Christ with everything. When we read the Bible we realise that there is no one who met Jesus and continues with life as they had lived it before being introduced to Jesus. Mary was a young girl, about to be married, when she met Jesus and Jesus turned her into the mother of the Lord. Joseph was a mere carpenter but he ended up protecting the Saviour from death. Peter and most of the disciples were simple fishermen, but by the time Jesus was done with them, they were fishers of men and they performed the greatest miracles of all time. Paul turned from being a murderer to evangelising an entire region. Jesus is still in the business of transforming the lives of those who wholeheartedly surrender themselves to him. This is a personal invitation to follow Jesus above all else. Jesus won't simply upgrade your life but He will turn your entire life upside down. We will not recognise you because an encounter with Jesus will change your life forever. This book is an urgent call to a generation that is too busy to give their lives completely to Christ, it is a desperate tug at the hearts of those who consider other things above Christ and a simple woman's cry to her generation that is that eternally aspiring for more to desire Christ above all else. This is a simple call to forsake all, and follow Jesus Christ. Following Jesus is life changing and the rewards thereof are eternal. As you read this book, may it move you to the perfect place that God has prepared for you in Him.

Greed. Power. Sin. It all comes with the gavel. Blurs the lines between church and state. But the Knightdale Charter of the Satan's Knights MC is my life. And I'd do anything for this club. Like letting the best woman I ever had slip through my fingertips. A sinfully beautiful spitfire, she's my better half in every way. My twin flame. My everything. My biggest regret. But there's no making things right between us. Because I'm the reason she's alone yet again. And if our past wasn't enough to put out the fire in her soul, my crimes certainly will be.
