MADELINE MARIE GALLOWAY is a single, solidly Christian young woman
who is excited about the future until she experiences the loss of
her father and a violent attack resulting in a pregnancy. How could
God let this happen to one of his faithful? How could she ever
offer herself to her future husband now that she was no longer
pure? And what about the baby? Abortion? Single parenthood?
Adoption? JIM AND SUZANNE are a young couple looking forward to
raising a family and having a loving Christian home. They
experience multiple disappointments until tragedy forces them
toward a choice they never expected to make. Unexpectedly, the
result brings them great joy, but will their happiness last? Why do
tragic things happen to good people? Watch how God carries them
through their trials and tears. See how "all things work together
for good to them that love God, to them who are the called
according to his purpose." Romans 8:27-29 Jeanne and her husband of
35 years share their home in Washington State with her mother.
Jeanne is the proud grandmother of eight grandchildren scattered
around the country, with number nine due in 2009. Her greatest hope
is to see loved ones join for that great family reunion when Jesus
returns. She works as a Physician Assistant with the US Army in
support of the Global War on terror. When not working, her hobbies
include reading voraciously, genealogy research, and crochet, but
her real love and focus is her family.
Orphaned at a young age, Isobel dreams of marriage and a family of
her own after graduation from college. Her plans come to a grinding
halt when her potential in-laws reject her because of her ethnic
appearance. She doesn't fit into their class-conscious,
blue-blooded, American society. Broken-hearted, she retreats to the
home her last living relative, Aunt Betty. When her aunt dies, she
discovers a family secret: that she isn't who she thought she was!
Isobel was raised to believe she was part Japanese and part
Caucasian-American, but she finds proof that her ethnicity is
totally different and that her birth mother might still be living.
She determines to seek out her biological family and in the process
finds a heritage far greater than she ever anticipated.
Founded byJames Oglethorpe on February 12, 1733, the Georgia colony
was envisioned as a unique social welfare experiment. Administered
by twenty-one original trustees, the Georgia Plan offered
England’s "worthy poor" and persecuted Christians an opportunity
to achieve financial security in the New World by exporting goods
produced on small farms. Most significantly, Oglethorpe and his
fellow Trustees were convinced that economic vitality could not be
achieved through the exploitation of enslaved Black laborers. Due
primarily to Oglethorpe’s strident advocacy, Georgia was the only
British American colony to prohibit chattel slavery prior to the
American Revolutionary War. His outspoken opposition to the
transatlantic slave trade distinguished Oglethorpe from all of
America’s more celebrated founding fathers. James Oglethorpe,
Father of Georgia uncovers how Oglethorpe's philosophical and moral
evolution from slave trader to abolitionist was propelled by his
intellectual relationships with two formerly enslaved Black men.
Oglethorpe’s unique "friendships" with Ayuba Suleiman Diallo and
Olaudah Equiano, two of eighteenth-century England’s most
influential Black men, are little-known examples of interracial
antislavery activism that breathed life into the formal
abolitionist movement. Utilizing more than two decades of
meticulous research, fresh historical analysis, and compelling
storytelling, Michael L. Thurmondrewrites the prehistory of
abolitionism and adds an important new chapter to Georgia’s
origin story.
It has been well chronicled that Black professors have experienced
a long history of inequities and inequalities within the academic
space. This volume explores the experiences, challenges and
triumphs experienced by Black professors. Including personal essays
written by Black professors, this volume showcases personal
insights and inspirational stories from leading Black scholars
across the US. It highlights and problematizes the uncomfortable
truth of the lack of diversity in many higher education
institutions in order to further discussions on the topic of race
in academia, and to assist academics of color in preparing for
their careers. Future academics will gain a sense of how to launch
their careers, stay productive in research, teaching and service,
and avoid the racial-related malaise that can hinder new academics
of color. By presenting discussions on professional development,
and emphasizing the challenges and triumphs experienced by Black
professors across disciplines, this book provides advice for junior
Black scholars on how to navigate academe and tackle the challenges
that Black scholars often face.
