Channeled by Rev. Cynthia Williams and Verling Chako Priest, PhD, Jesus/Jeshua ben Joseph's Jesus: My Beloved Connection to Humanity and the Sea is a fascinating read. Jesus begins by telling the reader who God is and how we too are gods. Jesus uses metaphors to help the reader understand how this could be. Taking the sacred number of 12, he weaves the twelve chapters into the rich tapestry of teachings for humanity's growth. He explains how humanity stepped down its energies on a soul level in order to experience duality in all its variations. Jesus has a deep love of the sea that is evident in the many miracles that he performed in multiplying fish and calming the waters. In our own history, we can find reference to dolphin-like creatures that walked upon the land during the day and returned to the sea at night. The teachings these beings brought forth were all about love, peace, and joy. Jesus communicated with the sea world on an ongoing basis. It is his desire for humanity to understand that there is more to his story than what is in the Bible. Jesus the Christ asks you to read this book, allowing yourself to awaken your own remembrance from that far distant time.

Discovering Quacks, Utopias, and Cemeteries: Modern Lessons from Historical Themes explores two enduring issues - our age-old pursuit of better lives and how the media impacts our choices. In this unique approach to social history, each chapter opens with essential questions asking the reader to consider these issues in historical and modern life. The histories of fake cures, imaginary and real utopias, cemeteries, tombstones, and scrapbooks are explored from ancient times through the transformations caused by the Industrial Revolution into the twentieth century. Historical images, excerpts from primary source documents, and activities adaptable to learners of all ages are included to illustrate the role of historical media. Quacks, Utopias, and Cemeteries, the third in the daily life series by Cynthia Resor, is an ideal book for history enthusiasts, especially social studies teachers, education or humanities professors, museum educators, and anyone wanting to know about the lives of average people in the past.

This book introduces a thematic approach to social history that connects the past to the daily lives of students. Historical overviews of vacation and manners spanning from the ancient world to twentieth century United States provide detailed context for the teacher, emphasize issues related to social class, sex and gender, and popular culture, and examine the methods of social historians. Four unique primary source sets, reading guides, and essential/compelling questions for students are provided that encourage inquiry learning and the development of critical literacy skills aligned with the Common Core Standards for Literacy and the College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies State Standards. Each themed chapter includes suggestions for extending each theme to current events, the local community through placed-based education, and across content areas for interdisciplinary instruction. The final chapter provides guidance on how to research additional historical themes, locate relevant primary sources, and prepare themed lessons and units.

This memoir looks through a nostalgic lens and captures some historic times in Detroit as remembered by Robert and Lillian Williams (my paternal grandparents), my parents, and me. Growing up in Detroit during the 1950s and 1960s, I personally witnessed the advent of the civil rights movement. As I rode the public bus from Northwest Detroit into the inner city to see the beauty of Christmas at Hudson's, it resonated in my soul to see so many young African American men and women living in impoverished neighborhoods. I saw the surge of energy and industry in Detroit as it became the automobile capital of the world and the lure of the Ford Rotunda with its cars of the future. I experienced the excitement and wild emotion of the Olympia Stadium as it attracted renowned musicians, like the Beatles, from all over the world and remember the thrill of taking the Boblo boat to Boblo Island and recall looking up in wonder at the massive Ambassador Bridge as the boat slowly traveled underneath it. I remember the Detroit Tigers playing ball at Briggs Stadium and listening to the powerful voice of Ernie Harwell as they transformed an ordinary summer day into an event that the people of Detroit felt passionate about. During this time, Detroit local television produced shows such as The Soupy Sales Show, Milky's Party Time presented by Twin Pines Dairy, The Johnny Ginger Show, and Rita Bell Prize Movie. My favorite show was The Soupy Sales Show, and I proudly wore my Soupy Sales dress with a red-and-white bow tie as I laughed out loud watching Soupy get smacked in the face with a cream pie on a daily basis. I recall spending many hours watching programs, such as John Cameron Swayze, The Ed Sullivan Show, The Lawrence Welk Show, The Linkletter Show, The Lou Gordon Show, Leave It to Beaver, The Twilight Zone, Lassie, The Jack Benny Program, and Alfred Hitchcock Presents on a black-and-white TV at my grandparents' home on Archdale Street. At this time, Detroit radio stations were playing Motown Records hits, such as "Dancing in the Street" by Martha and the Vandellas and "Where Did Our Love Go?" by the Supremes. During my youth I made the best of the situation with my parents, particularly my mother who suffered with chronic mental illness, and was deeply grateful for my grandfather and his determination to meet the challenges my older brother and later, my younger sister and I presented to him. My grandfather was a reassuring presence each time he visited our home, and I could count on his unfailing love for me time after time, as each crisis unfolded. I can say with absolute conviction that obstacles and trials are a part of life, but what I learned from my grandfather was that you can rise up out of any difficulty if you believe you can and through faith you can take the steps necessary to live a life with balance and joy in it.
