Memoirs of a Joyous Exile and a Worldly Christian by James M. Houston Pdf
This book traces personal memoirs to encourage others in their personal sense of insecurity to be freed by God’s grace, to become bold “in Christ.” It binds memoirs of the inner self, with one’s opportunities of public service. Two highlights are recorded: how three Soviet leaders as Christians negotiated with three American Christian leaders, to prevent a nuclear holocaust; and how crowds saying the Lord’s prayer, as they marched into Romanian towns, overcame the dictatorship. The Western press has never recorded both of these events.

A Memoir of Happy Years, 1916-1953 by E. Ashley Gerhard Pdf
Excerpt from A Memoir of Happy Years, 1916-1953 This is not a history of Christ Church, Winnetka. Nor is it intended to be in any important degree an autobiography. What I have attempted to do, and all I have attempted, has been to recall in writing something of what went on in the parish during the thirty-seven years of my rectorate, various characteristic incidents that occurred, certain personalities with whom it was my good fortune to have been most closely and helpfully associated and who played particularly important parts in my Winnetka ministry, and to expose my thinking and elements of my personal conviction that underlay and motivated my pastoral, as well as my teaching and preaching, ministry, while it was my God-given privilege to serve as Rector of Christ Church. They were exciting and cataclysmic years in the life of the Nation and of the world. Their span covered three great crises, namely World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II. They confronted the Christian Church with problems, responsibilities and opportunities of vast significance and importance. Herein is the story of how one Christian congregation undertook to meet and respond to the challenge of that era. I should be less than gracious were I to fail to express to the present Rector of Christ Church my warm appreciation of his action in asking me to write up this story. For it was in response to the urgent and generous request of Dr. William S. Lea that the task was undertaken. Nor can I fail to make known my gratitude to Mrs. Ethel B. Doolittle, who provided me with much material out of the archives of the parish to supplement my faulty memory; to Mrs. Hilpa S. Wood, to whom I turned for a great deal of documented information regarding the Churchyard development; and to Mrs. Bernice T. Vander Vries and Mrs. Mary R. Wilson, who placed in my hands valuable material relating to The Guild. Without their valued assistance what I have written would surely have been both inaccurate and incomplete. I pass it on for whatever use Dr. Lea and his people may decide to make of it. There is one omission in my story that to some, perhaps to many, may appear curious and possibly unwarranted.

At the age of twelve, Ishmael Beah fled attacking rebels in Sierra Leone and wandered a land rendered unrecognizable by violence. By thirteen, he'd been picked up by the government army, and Beah, at heart a gentle boy, found that he was capable of truly terrible acts. At sixteen, he was removed from fighting by UNICEF, and through the help of the staff at his rehabilitation center, he learned how to forgive himself, to regain his humanity, and, finally, to heal. This is an extraordinary and mesmerizing account, told with real literary force and heartbreaking honesty.
The Life of Boston King by Boston King,Ruth Holmes Whitehead,Carmelita Robertson,Nova Scotia Museum Pdf
In the summer of 1783, at the end of the American Revolution, several thousand Black men, women and children left New York City with the British Army, bound by ship for Nova Scotia. Now uniformly called "Black Loyalists", regardless of their status at leaving New York, theirs is a rich and fascinating history. One of the most well-documented of these Black Loyalists was a man named Boston King, born a slave to Richard Waring, a rice-planter in South Carolina. King experienced a religious revelation while in Nova Scotia, and became a Methodist preacher; he went to Sierra Leone in 1792 to spread the Gospel; and from there was invited to England to study at a Methodist school. While there, he wrote the story of his life and conversion. This was published in the Methodist Magazine of the times. Thus survived one of only three autobiographies of a Black Loyalist, full of details of the Loyalist settlement of Nova Scotia. It is reprinted here as "Memoirs of the Life of Boston King, a Black Preacher," edited by Ruth Holmes Whitehead and Carmelita Robertson. An introduction by Ruth Holmes Whitehead presents new research findings about King's life, and her Afterword examines particularly his life as a slave on the Waring Plantation, near Charleston, SC. Whitehead and Robertson revisited the ruins of two Waring plantations, where King would have worked as a child and young man, and photographed the dirt road, still running through one plantation, down which he would have ridden away to freedom.
Memoirs of Mrs. Hawkes ... including remarks in conversation and extracts from sermons and letters of the late Rev. Richard Cecil. By [i.e. edited by] Catherine Cecil ... Second edition by Mrs. Sarah HAWKES Pdf
The Memoirs of a Polar Bear stars three generations of talented writers and performers—who happen to be polar bears The Memoirs of a Polar Bear has in spades what Rivka Galchen hailed in the New Yorker as “Yoko Tawada’s magnificent strangeness”—Tawada is an author like no other. Three generations (grandmother, mother, son) of polar bears are famous as both circus performers and writers in East Germany: they are polar bears who move in human society, stars of the ring and of the literary world. In chapter one, the grandmother matriarch in the Soviet Union accidentally writes a bestselling autobiography. In chapter two, Tosca, her daughter (born in Canada, where her mother had emigrated) moves to the DDR and takes a job in the circus. Her son—the last of their line—is Knut, born in chapter three in a Leipzig zoo but raised by a human keeper in relatively happy circumstances in the Berlin zoo, until his keeper, Matthias, is taken away... Happy or sad, each bear writes a story, enjoying both celebrity and “the intimacy of being alone with my pen.”
