Book Description
This book is the fascinating account of a family that took seriously the challenge to follow Christ… and to overtake Him. With warmth and realism, Venerable Tescelin, Blesseds Alice, Guy, Gerard, Humbeline, Andrew, Bartholomew, Nivard and St. Bernard step off these pages with the engaging naturalness that attracts imitation. Here is a book that makes centuries disappear, as each member of this unique family becomes an inspiration in our own quest of overtaking Christ. One of the Biggest figures in this book is Bernard of Clairvaux. He was called the man of his age, the voice of his century. His influence towered above that of his contemporaries, and his sanctity moved God Himself. Men flocked to him¬—some in wonder, others in curiosity, but all drawn by the magnetism of his spiritual giant hood. Bernard —who or what fashioned him to be suitable for his role of counseling Popes, healing schisms, battling errors and filling the world with holy religious and profound spiritual doctrine? Undoubtedly, Bernard is the product of God's grace. But it is hard to say whether this grace is more evident in Bernard himself or in the extraordinary family in which God chose to situate this dynamic personality.

Book Description
Bernard of Clairvaux was called the voice of his century. His influence towered above that of his contemporaries. People flocked to him--some out of wonder and others out of curiosity, all of them drawn by his spiritual magnetism. Who or what fashioned Bernard into an advisor of popes and healer of schisms? How can we account for his great following of holy religious men and women, for his profound spiritual doctrine? Bernard was a product of God's grace working both in himself and in the extraordinary family to which he belonged. This book is the fascinating account of that family. With warmth and realism Saint Bernard steps out of these pages, together with his parents, Venerable Tescelin and Blessed Alice, and his brothers and sisters -- all of whom have been declared blessed: Guy, Gerard, Humbeline, Andrew, Bartholomew and Nivard.

Book Description
In this revision of Soul Stories, Dr. Wimberly moves even more in the direction of Christian Education with African American families. Soul stories link persons' everyday life with the Christian Scriptures. The soul stories in this revised volume take on a cross-generational orientation with emphasis on linking stories of family identities, events, relationships, and story plot with Bible stories and exemplary Christian faith stories found in the African Diaspora. This orientation builds on an awareness of the continued fragmentation of Black family life and the disconnect between generations on one hand, yet, on the other hand, the profound yearning of Black people for a common family history. The goal of Dr. Wimberly's model is to enliven the values associated with the image of "village" in order to empower and equip African Americans today.
