This is one mans journey, told through the stories that have shaped his life. Author Harry Strachans story began in Costa Rica, where he was born into a large missionary family. As an adult, he moved to the United States to pursue higher education. After studying at the schools of law and business at Harvard, he returned to his alma mater to teach. He then moved into private industry and eventually returned to his Central American home with the mission of investing both for profit and impact. But the heart of these experiences is how he deals with challenges. He reflects on coming to terms with family expectations, finding a vocation that fits his talents, dealing with emotional setbacks and serious illness, raising a family, and learning to love well in marriage. Through it all, there is a spiritual journey that moves through the loss of the conservative, traditional faith of his childhood to the establishment of a set of values that guides his life. Harrys reflections are told with humor and authenticity. His story offers provocative reflections for the next generation who are seeking to both do good and do well. Harry Strachan is one of the most remarkable people Ive ever known. He has been a lifelong friend whose path through sorrow and success has been a brilliant example to me of the examined life. Written principally for his children, these stories will resonate with anyone who is willing to live outside the box. Maestro John Nelson, Conductor

Auto/biography in Canada: Critical Directions widens the field of auto/biography studies with its sophisticated multidisciplinary perspectives on the theory, criticism, and practice of self, community, and representation. Rather than considering autobiography and biography as discrete genres with definable properties, and rather than focusing on critical approaches, the essays explore auto/biography as a discourse about identity and representation in the context of numerous disciplinary shifts. Auto/biography in Canada looks at how life narratives are made in Canada . Originating from literary studies, history, and social work, the essays in this collection cover topics that range from queer Canadian autobiography, autobiography and autism, and newspaper death notices as biography, to Canadian autobiography and the Holocaust, Grey Owl and authenticity, France Théoret and autofiction, and a new reading of Stolen Life, the collaborative text by Yvonne Johnson and Rudy Wiebe. Julie Rak’s useful “big picture” introduction traces the history of auto/biography studies in Canada. While the contributors chart disciplinary shifts taking place in auto/biography studies, their essays are also part of the ongoing scholarship that is remaking ways to understand Canada.

From the very first page of My Story His Glory, readers quickly connect with the colorful characters of this engaging work by first time author, Gwen Lewis. We are quickly introduced to the main character of the story, a little girl born into poverty and inequality. We learn that she grew up during a time when all the social institutions were segregated, and Jim Crow laws prevailed. She is the ninth of ten children born to Ruth and Ab Mason. Demoralized by bigotry and hatred, her parents tried to instill a sense of pride and goodness into their children. Though neither of her parents were formally educated, they championed education as the vehicle to independence and a better way of life for their children.The book reveals intimate details about her impoverished home life in an honest, unpretentious way. Life was sometimes hard, but there were also times of contentment and joy. As we continue to follow her story, we also see ourselves in the struggles she faced when she eagerly left home for college. Choosing to attend the historic Tuskegee Institute located forty miles from where she grew up was a point of great pride for her.We witness the grace and goodness of God and how he never left her alone. It is interesting as well as inspiring to witness the love and compassion of God as he carried her when she didnaEUR(tm)t even know he was there. Later she would learn to recognize his gentle hand. We laugh at her childhood antics, cry with her as she painfully recalls personal losses, and rejoice with her as she triumphs over her enemies! After reading My Story His Glory we walk away inspired, with a desire to know this ever-present God she affectionately calls Father.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of life, it’s vital to pause and honor these cherished moments, recognizing their significance and embracing their transformative power. They teach us to embrace the present, cherish the bonds we share and find solace in the beauty of life's simplest pleasures.

Step back in time and meet everyday people from another era: This edition brings to you the complete collection of hundreds of life stories, incredible vivid testimonies of former slaves from 17 U.S. southern states, including photos of the people being interviewed and their extraordinary narratives. After the end of Civil War in 1865, more than four million slaves were set free. There were several efforts to record the remembrances of the former slaves. The Federal Writers' Project was one such project by the United States federal government to support writers during the Great Depression by asking them to interview and record the myriad stories and experiences of slavery of former slaves. The resulting collection preserved hundreds of life stories from 17 U.S. states that would otherwise have been lost in din of modernity and America's eagerness to deliberately forget the blot on its recent past.
