With God's Blessing: The Family Legacy Of Irving and Jane Smith

The Smith Family's tradition on Sundays was to sit around the dining room table after dinner and hear Daddy and Momma talk about old times. You see, they were African Americans born in Staunton, VA in 1916 and 1918 during difficult times. But they expected that God would make a way! They had so many stories. Sometimes we had a good laugh, many times we would cry and yet other times it was almost unbelievable what they went through in an unfair and unjust society. We were mesmerized and amazed how our parents maneuvered and thrived the 20th Century. We were in awe of how they maintained their dignity and achieved so much in the face of so many obstacles and challenges. But With God's Blessing (this is the name they gave to the collection of stories that made up their life experiences), the impossible happened over and over. These life lessons we want our children's children to read and learn. We are also sure that each reader can appreciate and learn something from their life stories. Though there are many celebrated books and articles about the lifestyle of African Americans during the 20th Century, the story of Irving and Jane Smith is interesting and compelling.

The Cross of Jesus Christ as the Key to your Life and Lifestyle

Austin-Sparks or F.J. Huegel. It was the French priest, Lacordaire, who said that the Church was "born crucified". By this he meant that all the members of the Divine Head, the members of the Body of Christ, died IN and WITH the last Adam,...

Read and then Read it Again!

4 Years ago I picked up this book due to a recommendation. I read it again 1 year ago, and am again reading it. It's the finest writing on living in NEWNESS OF LIFE (i.e. SANCTIFICATION). Knowing that we "died with Christ" at baptism and were simultaneously "born again," the author constantly reminds us, as Paul did, to put to death our weapons of unrighteousness. Easy to read, easy to understand, yet still difficult to...

Teaching for the Hour!!!

L.E. Maxwell's book was first issued as "Born Crucified," and as such, he pointed out the important principles of Christian faith and life. In this book, it appears that he's expanded on it, or a little additional information has been added. This is a phenomenal read, and I believe to be required reading for the Christian who means business with God. There's such a goldmine of truth in this little book, and chapters devoted...
