Lamp to My Feet
God never promises us a sweeping floodlight that will show us the whole picture, but He does promise us a lamp to our feet so we can see the next step. We have to learn to trust Him to do that, and take the next step on faith.
Buster's Big Surprise
My husband and I lived in Arlington, VA, for 15 years, in a cozy condominium until they retired. While we were there, my husband's health took a slight turn and he spent some time recovering. As he convalesced, he watched the neighbors around the block walk their dogs along the sidewalk from the living room window. Valentine's Day was quickly approaching and I thought to surprise him with a stuffed animal. I ventured out to our department store and purchased a stuffed puppy and some chocolates to comfort him. He was delighted when I presented him this surprise. This small gesture of love seemed to ease the desire for an animate dog. It was actually my husband's illness and passion for dogs, that inspired me to write a series of books under the umbrella of "Buster's Big Adventure's." My first book, "A Puppy's Special Day," is almost true to life. “Buster's Big Surprise” is the second book of five more under this series.
A Look at African-american Governors
In A Look At African American Governors, Frances L. Smith explores a lesser known aspect of Colonial New England society and culture. Through her experience researching local histories, the reader gets to know some of the characters and controversies from pre-Civil War America. Students and educators will find the appendices helpful for research and lovers of history will find many interesting facts worthy of further reading. Frances Smith's easy to understand, conversational writing, combined with attractive illustrations by Zach Osborn, provides an intriguing glimpse into this unique tradition.
'Til Death Or Distance Do Us Part
Conventional wisdom tells us that marriage was illegal for African Americans during the antebellum era, and that if people married at all, their vows were tenuous ones: "until death or distance do us part." It is an impression that imbues beliefs about black families to this day. But it's a perception primarily based on documents produced by abolitionists, the state, or other partisans. It doesn't tell the whole story. Drawing on a trove of less well-known sources including family histories, folk stories, memoirs, sermons, and especially the fascinating writings from the Afro-Protestant Press,'Til Death or Distance Do Us Part offers a radically different perspective on antebellum love and family life. Frances Smith Foster applies the knowledge she's developed over a lifetime of reading and thinking. Advocating both the potency of skepticism and the importance of story-telling, her book shows the way toward a more genuine, more affirmative understanding of African American romance, both then and now.

THORN IN THE FLESH
When you're serving the Lord, it's easy to think you have extra spiritual protection. You do, but the Lord often does make you live with the consequences of your actions. Life's most important lessons come during those tough times. Mark Smith learned that the hard way. He'd just come home from a life-changing year in the Alaskan mission field. He'd survived near-death experiences in the brutal Arctic cold and had made a difference in the lives of the people of Nome. He was confident about the path he was on. It took just over a minute on a mechanical bull to change his life forever. Used to tack- ling any physical challenge, now he couldn't. It was an effort to walk from place to place. Sitt...
I Am the Utterance of My Name
This work traces the genesis and evolution of African American women's feminist discourse and intellectual enterprise from the beginning of slavery in the United States to the end of the 19th century. It does so in three ways. First, Dr. Tsenes-Hills almost solely utilizes the primary and secondary sources of African American women in order to locate and excavate the truly fascinating and extraordinary world of the 19th century Black woman. Second, she discusses this world via examination of the interior, exterior, and alternative realities that delineated the 19th century Black woman's experience. And how the combination of these realities ultimately developed, from a 'grassroots' expressio...
