Mercy Goodman has simple needs in her young life. But when Mercy's father dies, she suddenly finds herself cold, hungry, and homeless on the streets of Trenton, New Jersey, with her mother and younger sister, Anna. She has just one wish: a warm, safe home. When Mercy's mother finally finds a job, an old friend offers them a room in her boarding house, where they spend many happy months together. Soon, however, Mercy's life is once again turned upside down when her mother is tragically killed in an accident. When they can't pay their rent, Mercy and Anna are forced to leave the boarding house and fend for themselves-alone and frightened in the back alleys of Trenton. The sisters eventually land in an orphanage where they do tedious work from dawn to dusk. Mercy and Anna's nights of sleeping on straw finally come to an end when a kind Quaker family steps in and changes their lives forever. Can a young girl whose existence has consisted of one tragic event after another discover love, hope, and a true family?

Let the Men Fight!
Author: Gregory G. Ogle
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1463491700
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Involvement by men, especially African American men, in the Christian church has always been notoriously sparse. Pastors, seminary scholars, and Christian leaders, male and female, have pondered the problem, but it remains a question. The women ask, “What is wrong with the brothers?” My response is, “Why does it have to be something wrong with the brothers?” Could it be that as African American males want to hear something other than what is being preached? Have we considered preaching the Gospel of Christ from a masculine perspective? Is it possible that because the majority of churches are 70% female, that the Good News is inadvertently preached by male and female preachers from an implicit female perspective? Perhaps preachers are subconsciously more concerned with maintaining the satisfaction of the bulk of the tithing parishioners, who are women? Let the Men Fight challenges the notion that the fault resides with African American men, and strives to provide a “male sensitive” Word. However, there is a caveat. The warning is, upon learning and accepting the truth, God expects us to go tell and teach others. Matthew 28:19-20 says, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. 20. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you and lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.”

The Dialogue of St. Catherine of Siena
Author: St. Catherine of Siena
Publisher: TAN Books
ISBN: 0895559692
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
St. Catherine of Siena's Dialogue describes the entire spiritual life through a series of conversations between God and the soul, represented by Catherine herself. Readers of The Dialogue of Saint Catherine of Siena, will find her revelations from God as informative - and formative - as those who recognized her sanctity during her life. The universally applicable yet intimately personal messages she received from God are as much for us as they were for Catherine. We can read God's communications to his beloved daughter with detached awe or we can receive His messages to us through her writings. Do you long for certainty that Divine Providence exists in the midst of our chaotic world? Does your prayer seem too dry, or too routine? Have you sought guidance for the challenges of your life from unhelpful people or things? Or has pride kept you from humble obedience to the Church? If so, The Dialogue will provide consolation, encouragement, and hope.
