Lewis George Clarke published the story of his life as a slave in 1845, after he had escaped from Kentucky and become a well-regarded abolitionist lecturer throughout the North. His book was the first work by a slave to be acquired by the Library of Congress and copyrighted. During the 1840s he lived in the Cambridge, Massachusetts, home of Aaron and Mary Safford, where he encountered Mary's stepsister, Harriet Beecher Stowe, along with Frederick Douglass, Lewis Tappan, Gerrit Smith, Josiah Henson, John Brown, Lydia Child, and Martin Delaney. His experiences are evident in Uncle Tom's Cabin, published in 1852, and Stowe identified him as the prototype for the book's rebellious character George Harris. This facsimile edition of Clarke's book is introduced by his great grandson, Carver Clark Gayton, who has served as director of Affirmative Action Programs at the University of Washington; corporate director of educational relations and training for the Boeing Company; lecturer at the Evans School of Public Administration, University of Washington; and executive director of the Northwest African American Museum. He lives in Seattle. A V Ethel Willis White Book

p>You are the right person for this job

It's one of those words that seems to hold so much meaning but somehow resides just out of our reach: disciple. How do I become one? And how do I become a disciple-maker?

There's no secret formula, nor is there a one-size-fits-all plan for disciple-making, but there are examples to follow. And there are certainly adventures to be had

Disciple-making at its core is learning--and demonstrating--how to relate lovingly to God and to others. These pages are at once practical and packed with stories; they are big-picture-minded and strategy-filled. Read on to see how a disciple-making lifestyle will affect your view of:

belonging hospitality relationship-building asking the right questions community and how to best love others

In fact, discipleship is already in the heart of every Christian. Don't let your fear, your insecurities, or your busyness get in the way. If you know how to be a friend, you already know most of what you need to be a disciple-maker. Take one step of obedience. Just go.

The nation seems poised on a precipice, ready to plunge into chaos. Each day new laws are passed and Supreme Court decisions rendered that anger ordinary citizens, while partisan politics begin to frustrate and even overwhelm some dedicated lawmakers at the nation's capital; lawmakers who must decide if they will resign, and perhaps take up arms. One by one some leaders and ordinary citizens begin to believe that active rebellion against Washington and its collective mindset, which seems to believe that Congress and the President must run the daily lives of the nation's inadequate citizenry, is the only way to solve the perhaps insurmountable chasm which has developed between the rulers and the ruled. Slowly, and then with increasing speed, states declare refusal to obey legislation signed by the President and . . . one by one states begin to declare independence from objectionable laws, as a new secessionist mindset develops in the Inter-mountain West. Some fear that a new Civil War is not only possible, but inevitable. This time it's not North versus South, but East versus West. As some race to succession and perhaps war, others desperately labor to stop and maybe even reverse the course of legislative arrogance that seems to be driving the nation to war with itself. Can the nation survive another time of brother against brother and father against son, as nanny-state laws seem to leave the unraveling Constitution hanging by a thread?
