David
Author: Allan Boone's Wargon
Publisher: eBookIt.com
ISBN: 0986567140
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
A biographical novel of the biblical King David. It follows the Bible very closely, but imagines the motivations the Bible only hints at. Few stories have had such an effect on the world. The lonely shepherd boy, singing his songs in the wilderness to his one intimate friend, God, said what no one before had even dared to contemplate: "I" . In using the first person in "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want," he formed a personal relationship with God. From that moment on the world was changed. David composed psalms, or songs, had wives and loves, led his army in mighty battles, dispensed justice, and was politically cunning. He saw the development of democracy and the ideal of decency and forged a kingdom of lasting influence. He was followed as king by his son Solomon, and generations later, it is said, by Jesus, the Christ. The young shepherd boy's, then the king's, thoughts and actions continue to reverberate now, 3000 years later. The story's issues are immediate and current.

The Tuskegee Syphilis Study
Author: Fred D. Gray
Publisher: NewSouth Books
ISBN: 1603063099
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
In 1932, the U.S. Public Health Service recruited 623 African American men from Macon County, Alabama, for a study of "the effects of untreated syphilis in the Negro male." For the next 40 years -- even after the development of penicillin, the cure for syphilis -- these men were denied medical care for this potentially fatal disease. The Tuskegee Syphilis Study was exposed in 1972, and in 1975 the government settled a lawsuit but stopped short of admitting wrongdoing. In 1997, President Bill Clinton welcomed five of the Study survivors to the White House and, on behalf of the nation, officially apologized for an experiment he described as wrongful and racist. In this book, the attorney for the men, Fred D. Gray, describes the background of the Study, the investigation and the lawsuit, the events leading up to the Presidential apology, and the ongoing efforts to see that out of this painful and tragic episode of American history comes lasting good.
