Come Shouting to Zion: African American Protestantism in the American South and British Caribbean to 1830
by Betty Wood Sylvia R. FreyThe conversion of African-born slaves and their descendants to Protestant Christianity marked one of the most important social and intellectual transformations in American history. Come Shouting to Zion is the first comprehensive exploration of the processes by which this remarkable transition occurred. Using an extraordinary array of archival sources, Sylvia Frey and Betty Wood chart the course of religious conversion from the transference of traditional African religions to the New World through the growth of Protestant Christianity in the American South and British Caribbean up to 1830. Come Shouting to Zion depicts religious transformation as a complex reciprocal movement involving black and white Christians. It highlights the role of African American preachers in the conversion process and demonstrates the extent to which African American women were responsible for developing distinctive ritual patterns of worship and divergent moral values within the black spiritual community. Finally, the book sheds light on the ways in which, by serving as a channel for the assimilation of Western culture into the slave quarters, Protestant Christianity helped transform Africans into African Americans.

Come and See: Everything You Ever Wanted in the One Place You Would Never Look
by John Driver Todd WagnerCome and See what? LIFE as God intended irresistibly revealed today in a way that is every bit as awe-inspiring and life-changing as when Jesus Himself walked the earth. Todd Wagner invites readers to experience the adventure, goodness, and fullness of life that God has intended for humankind from the beginning of time and especially today through His provision through His people.

Wagner paints the picture of a perfect Father’s intention to bring His people into an adventurous life full of authentic relationships, powerful transformation, and seemingly impossible significance and meaning.
Come avviare la propria attività essendo cristiano
by Sesan OguntadeCome avviare la propria attività essendo cristiano di Sesan Oguntade Anche se non si dispone di denaro iniziale e con tutti i pronostici a proprio sfavore Usate queste strategie per avviare la vostra attività essendo cristiano, anche se non avete i capitali iniziali Sei un cristiano e hai faticato ad avviare la tua agognata iniziativa imprenditoriale che conservavi nel tuo cuore da molti anni? Se lo sei, questa guida semplice, breve e facile da leggere ti sarà di grande aiuto. Nel mio paese, dopo aver finito di scrivere un libro su come creare la ricchezza, decisi di inserire un breve sondaggio nella prima pagina del libro e la domanda sottostante fu una tra le domande che proposi in quel sondaggio. "Scrivi in tre parole un problema che ti è stato molto difficile da risolvere negli ultimi quattro anni". Ebbene, man mano che la gente comprava e leggeva il libro le risposte arrivavano. Ho scoperto che oltre il 95% dei problemi che i lettori del libro menzionavano di aver trovato difficile da risolvere negli ultimi quattro anni era "non avere un capitale iniziale per avviare la propria attività". Nelle riunioni private con i cristiani che desiderano avviare un’attività, nelle discussioni prevaleva questo stesso argomento. So che per lanciare un'idea per un’attività sono necessari dei mezzi finanziari, ma per esperienza personale e per le esperienze di persone che ho osservato nel corso degli anni, so anche che la mancanza o l'indisponibilità di capitale o di denaro non dovrebbe impedire a nessuno di intraprendere una nuova attività. Molti uomini d'affari di successo di oggi, quando cominciarono lo fecero senza avere il capitale necessario per iniziare. Iniziarono e svilupparono queste attività per trasformarle successivamente in imprese redditizie. Questo breve ebook parlerà di strategie semplici, utilizzabili ed efficaci che si potranno sempre usare per avviare la prop
Come la Galleta... Compra los Zapatos: Date permiso a ti misma para brillar
by Joyce MeyerEngrained in our culture is the belief that unbending discipline is the only sure way to success. You must go to the gym five times a week, never order the dessert, and don't even think about buying that dress you keep staring at in the store window. Breaking from such a regimented lifestyle is a sign of weakness, right? Wrong!-and Joyce wants to tell us why. . . Though setting rules in our lives are important, it's just as important that we break them from time-to-time. Structure is a powerful tool, but when diverging from your own goals is seen as catastrophic, it can have a hugely negative effect on us. Balance is a core value in life and every once in awhile we deserve to indulge in a guilty pleasure or two. So don't feel bad about straying from your goals every once-in-awhile and in fact, embrace it: eat the cookie and buy the shoes!

Come of Age: The Case for Elderhood in a Time of Trouble
by Charles Eisenstein Stephen JenkinsonIn his landmark provocative style, Stephen Jenkinson makes the case that we must birth a new generation of elders, one poised and willing to be true stewards of the planet and its species.Come of Age does not offer tips on how to be a better senior citizen or how to be kinder to our elders. Rather, with lyrical prose and incisive insight, Stephen Jenkinson explores the great paradox of elderhood in North America: how we are awash in the aged and yet somehow lacking in wisdom; how we relegate senior citizens to the corner of the house while simultaneously heralding them as sage elders simply by virtue of their age. Our own unreconciled relationship with what it means to be an elder has yielded a culture nearly bereft of them. Meanwhile, the planet boils, and the younger generation boils with anger over being left an environment and sociopolitical landscape deeply scarred and broken. Taking on the sacred cow of the family, Jenkinson argues that elderhood is a function rather than an identity—it is not a position earned simply by the number of years on the planet or the title “parent” or “grandparent.” As with his seminal book Die Wise, Jenkinson interweaves rich personal stories with iconoclastic observations that will leave readers radically rethinking their concept of what it takes to be an elder and the risks of doing otherwise. Part critique, part call to action, Come of Age is a love song inviting us—imploring us—to elderhood in this time of trouble. That time is now. We’re an hour before dawn, and first light will show the carnage, or the courage, we bequeath to the generations to come.

Come to the Garden
by Jennifer Wilder MorganA novel based on true experiences, Come to the Garden is a story about a woman's journey with a mysterious angel that encourages readers to believe heaven is closer than they think.Years ago, author Jennifer Wilder Morgan served as a hospital volunteer, visiting critically ill patients--praying with them and listening to their stories. As she created a safe space for those of all faiths and backgrounds, patients began confiding in Morgan about the mysterious ways God speaks to them--including encounters with angels, visions of loved ones who've passed on, and messages of comfort spoken in dreams. She witnessed the profound healing that occurs when people are permitted to talk about these experiences, and as a result, Morgan was inspired to share her own personal encounters with God in a novel. In Come to the Garden, the main character Jenn wakes up on her birthday to find an angel introducing herself as Margaret in the backyard garden. Lately Jenn has been struggling to make sense of the mysterious ways God has been speaking to her and is trying to understand what he wants her to know. The angel takes Jenn back through her memories and life experiences, revealing how God has been connecting with her all along. Under the angel's guidance, Jenn finally understands the messages God has been speaking to her, in her dreams, divine promptings, and unexplained coincidences. It becomes clear that God is a faithful and persistent pursuer of the human heart. Framed as a series of conversations between Jenn and her guardian angel, this unconventional and charming narrative will strike deep into the hearts of anyone seeking a greater understanding of God. Come to the Garden is an inspirational fictional story about the surprising ways God works in our lives and affirms that heaven is truly closer than we think.
