Pain and suffering has many forms. The pain and anguish can tempt a person to turn back, to surrender or to give up. However, I held onto hope and faith knowing that the Lord would bring me out of bondage. And in spite of our circumstances we should believe. Trials will come to refine your faith, but when they come, remain faithful to God. No matter what pain or trial we face in this life, we know it is not our final experience. One day we will live with Christ forever. All of the pain and shame and the many things I survived was working together for my good. Just do not give up. Galatians.6:9 "And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart." Today, I encourage you take authority over your life and know you are valuable not only to yourself, but to God. You went through what you experienced so that you can help someone else, so do not take your testimony for granted. Go tell someone about the goodness of the Lord because you have SURVIVED!

"[T]ells the thrilling and all-but-forgotten tale of an extraordinary artist and entrepreneur who fought setback after setback to create a wonder of the modern world. The quixotic and visionary sculptor Fraedaeric Auguste Bartholdi not only forged this 151-foot-tall colossus in a workshop in Paris and transported her across the ocean, but battled furiously to raise money for her construction, with little help from France or America. Notables of his age, including Ulysses S. Grant, Joseph Pulitzer, Victor Hugo, Gustave Eiffel, and Thomas Edison, were drawn into his scheme, which became one of the most audacious public projects the world had ever seen"--Back cover.

"A fascinating story." -LeVar BurtonThe thrilling adventures of a slave who became known worldwide for his explorations of Mammoth Cave. If you toured Mammoth Cave in Kentucky in the year 1838, you would have been led by candlelight through dark, winding tunnels to the edge of a terrifying bottomless pit. Your guide would have been seventeen-year-old Stephen Bishop, an African American slave who became known around the world for his knowledge of Mammoth Cave. Bishop needed bravery, intelligence, and curiosity to explore the vast cavern. Using only a lantern, rope, and other basic caving equipment, he found a way to cross the bottomless pit and discover many more miles of incredible grottoes and tunnels. For the rest of his life he guided visitors through the cave, showing them how to stoop, bend, and crawl through passageways that were sometimes far from the traditional tour route. Based on the narratives of those who toured the cave with him, Journey to the Bottomless Pit is the first book for young readers ever written about Stephen Bishop. New to this edition: A free teacher's guide to this book, as well as an interview with current-day Mammoth Cave guide Jerry Bransford, great-great-grandson of Stephen Bishop's fellow guide, Mat Bransford.
