This is me sharing some things that will help you to navigate this journey that is our Christian walk. Nuggets picked up along the way. I have a desire to speak to you as my grandmother spoke to my siblings and I. Thank God she did this throughout our childhood, because as I write this book, she is residing in a Nursing Home, traveling in between realities. So, I continue to bless the Lord for the seeds she sowed into us as a family because they shall bear fruit for generations to come. My purpose with this publication is to speak forth my love into your hearts, by the power of God in the name of Jesus.

This book is of all of my Poems. I have written some Poems and have put them in this book. It has Family, Heart-Breaking, Happy, Funny, Silly, Day, Night, and Love Poems in it. I hope everyone enjoys reading all my Poems just as much as I have writing them for you to read.

"A family history and detailed biographical monograph of Harlem Renaissance poet and World War II veteran Waring Cuney, including 100 of his selected poems"--

A basic part of all Christian life is the Lord's Prayer. Many of us learned it as children and return to it whenever we need comfort. Come on a journey with me that will inspire you, as we look at the words of this prayer in a new way. We will see how it is a life changing and life empowering prayer that calls us to be part of God's love for all.

Davis imparts the story of Miriam, older sister of Moses, whose journey to faith in the midst of slavery speaks to all who ask, "Where is God in suffering and inequity?"

A biography of Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935): Beecher-descendent, zealous reformer, exhilarating lecturer, prolific writer, scandalous divorcee, "unnatural mother," international celebrity, and life-long controversialist.

Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960), the most prominent of the Harlem Renaissance women writers, was unique because her social and professional connections were not limited to literature but encompassed theatre, dance, film, anthropology, folklore, music, politics, high society, academia, and artistic bohemia. Hurston published four novels, three books of nonfiction, and dozens of short stories, plays, and essays. In addition, she won a long list of fellowships and prizes, including a Guggenheim and a Rosenwald. Yet by the 1950s, Hurston, like most of her Harlem Renaissance peers, had faded into oblivion. An essay by Alice Walker in the 1970s, however, spurred the revival of Hurston's literary reputation, and her works, including her 1937 novel Their Eyes Were Watching God, have enjoyed an enduring popularity. Zora Neale Hurston: An Annotated Bibliography of Works and Criticism consists of reviews of critical interpretations of Hurston's work. In addition to publication information, each selection is carefully crafted to capture the author's thesis in a short, pithy, analytical framework.Also included are original essays by eminent Hurston scholars that contextualize the bibliographic entries. Meticulously researched but accessible, these essays focus on gaps in Hurston criticism and outline new directions for Hurston scholarship in the twenty-first century. Comprehensive and up-to-date, this volume contains analytical summaries of the most important critical writings on Zora Neale Hurston from the 1970s to the present. In addition, entries from difficult-to-locate sources, such as small academic presses or international journals, can be found here. Although intended as a bibliographic resource for graduate and undergraduate students, this volume is also aimed toward general readers interested in women's literature, African American literature, American history, and popular culture. The book will also appeal to scholars and teachers studying twentieth-century American literature, as well as those specializing in anthropology, modernism, and African American studies, with a special focus on the women of the Harlem Renaissance.
