Soon We Will Not Cry by Cynthia Fleming Pdf

The success of the civil rights movement demanded extraordinary courage of ordinary people. During her short life, Ruby Doris Smith Robinson became one of the most important leaders in the black struggle for equality. By age 24, Robinson's intelligence, brashness, and bravery had elevated her to a top leadership role in the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). Cynthia Griggs Fleming's beautifully written biography of this incredible woman demonstrates that Robinson's activism wasn't limited to racial equality—she was an equally eloquent and powerful voice for women's rights. Fleming provides new insights into the success, failures, peculiar contradictions, and unique stresses of Robinson's life. This book will appeal to all readers interested in African American and women's history.

No Baby No Cry by Martin Smith Pdf

This book is for Christians, if you don't wear that label, trust me, this isn't for you. However if you do, then I very much hope you will read it. In this book I make the argument for Christians NOT to have children. That might seem absurd given the vast number of Christian publications extolling the virtues of child bearing, and the general veneration of family in Christian culture. However I think the case is strong, and I believe the majority view on this issue misunderstands the bible in a very fundamental way. Even if you go on to have children, or if you have children already, I believe you would do well to hear me out. The book is divided into two parts. Part 1, looks at the motivations that lie behind the decision to have children, the consequences of that decision, and why not having children may be considered a more ethical choice. The arguments presented apply to believer and non-believer alike. In part 2, we look at things from an exclusively Christian perspective. Comparing the ideas expressed in Christian culture and literature to what the Bible actually says, asking questions about the centrality of family and what the consequences of having children are, in the Christian world view.

Look at the saints' characteristics here, and never stop until you have got those same characteristics stamped upon your own soul.

Cry, Heart, But Never Break by Glenn Ringtved Pdf

A poetic picture book about being able to say goodbye to those we love, while holding them in memory. We continue to be told that there just aren't enough books available for children on loss and grief. This book offers a story that is about not only the death of a beloved old person, but also the duality of life itself, composed as it is of light and dark. Indeed, the story is just as much about the coexistence of these two things as about loss. Accessible, gently frank and philosophic, this book should have strong appeal in the school and library market as well as among all professionals who work with children, along with their caregivers. A strong, lovely text makes this book a standout. A large need exists for books like this. Very well conceived in regard to the audience -- the children -- it is meant to reach.

Do They Hear You When You Cry by Fauziya Kassindja Pdf

For Fauziya Kassindja, an idyllic childhood in Togo, West Africa, sheltered from the tribal practices of polygamy and genital mutilation, ended with her beloved father's sudden death. Forced into an arranged marriage at age seventeen, Fauziya was told to prepare for kakia, the ritual also known as female genital mutilation. It is a ritual no woman can refuse. But Fauziya dared to try. This is her story--told in her own words--of fleeing Africa just hours before the ritual kakia was to take place, of seeking asylum in America only to be locked up in U.S. prisons, and of meeting Layli Miller Bashir, a law student who became Fauziya's friend and advocate during her horrifying sixteen months behind bars. Layli enlisted help from Karen Musalo, an expert in refugee law and acting director of the American University International Human Rights Clinic. In addition to devoting her own considerable efforts to the case, Musalo assembled a team to fight with her on Fauziya's behalf. Ultimately, in a landmark decision in immigration history, Fauziya Kassindja was granted asylum on June 13, 1996. Do They Hear You When You Cry is her unforgettable chronicle of triumph.
