Book Description
“Preach to the people on this bus. But Lord, I can’t! Lutheran ministers don’t preach on buses in the middle of Manhattan! They’ll think I’m—Do it. Now.” From that life-changing day on the bus to today, stories of Harald Bredesen’s adventures in the Lord have traveled far and wide. Who was this unassuming, faithful follower of Christ who fought against following in his preacher father’s footsteps? Come hear from the man himself—Harald Bredesen—who learned the ups and the downs of learning to say “yes, Lord” no matter what. This story of a young man’s growing pains in Christ becomes the story of a man who would one day find himself in the company of world leaders and an important influence in the lives of many prominent people won to Christ— Pat Robertson, Gordon Robertson, Pat Boone, Wendy Griffith, Scott Ross and others. Sit back and let Harald tell his almost unbelievable stories of not knowing or asking why, but being willing to be led to the right place at the right time, where he was often given just the right words. And it all started with saying, “Yes, Lord.”

Book Description
Saints in Exile studies, from an insider's perspective, the worship practices and social ethics of the African American family of Holiness, Pentecostal, and Apostolic churches known collectively as the Sanctified Church. Cheryl Sanders identifies the theme of exile, both as an idea and an experience, as the key to understanding the dialectical nature of African American religious and intellectual life, that W.E.B. Du Bois called "double-conscious." Sanders's saints in exile are a people who see themselves as "in the world but not of it"; their marginalized status is both self-imposed and involuntary, a consequence of racism, sexism and other forms of elitism. When joined with the biblical tropes of homecoming and reconciliation, the concept of exile serves as a vital vantage point from which to identify, critique, and remedy the continued alienation of blacks, women, and the poor in the United States. Sanders's interpretive approach clarifies many paradoxical features of black existence, especially the peculiar interplay of the sacred and the secular in African American song, speech, and dance. She particularly scrutinizes gospel music, a product of the Sanctified worship tradition that has had a significant influence on popular culture. Saints in Exile goes further than any previous study in illuminating the African American experience; it will be welcomed by scholars and students of American religion, African American studies, and American History.
