Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the Civil War, African Americans placed poignant "information wanted" advertisements in newspapers, searching for missing family members. Inspired by the power of these ads, Heather Andrea Williams uses slave narratives, letters, interviews, public records, and diaries to guide readers back to devastating moments of family separation during slavery when people were sold away from parents, siblings, spouses, and children. Williams explores the heartbreaking stories of separation and the long, usually unsuccessful journeys toward reunification. Examining the interior lives of the enslaved and freedpeople as they tried to come to terms with great loss, Williams grounds their grief, fear, anger, longing, frustration, and hope in the history of American slavery and the domestic slave trade. Williams follows those who were separated, chronicles their searches, and documents the rare experience of reunion. She also explores the sympathy, indifference, hostility, or empathy expressed by whites about sundered black families. Williams shows how searches for family members in the post-Civil War era continue to reverberate in African American culture in the ongoing search for family history and connection across generations.

All too many of us struggle under the weight of life, convinced we need to work harder to prove to ourselves, to others, and to God that we are good enough, smart enough, and spiritual enough to do the things we believe we should. Author and Bible teacher Jennie Allen invites us into a different experience, one in which our souls overflow with contentment and joy. In Nothing to Prove she calls us to… * Find freedom from self-induced pressure by admitting we’re not enough—but Jesus is. * Admit our greatest needs and watch them be filled by the only One who can meet them. * Make it our goal to know and love Jesus, then watch what He does in and through us. As you wade into the refreshing truth of the more-than-enough life Jesus offers, you’ll experience the joyous freedom that comes to those who are determined to discover what God can do through a soul completely in love with Him. * * * * * “These pages are what your soul is begging for" —Ann Voskamp “Nothing to Prove takes us on a journey toward freedom from the need to measure up.” —Mark Batterson We love this glorious and universally resounding message.” —Louie and Shelley Giglio “This book will help you take your eyes off your problems and put them back on God’s promises.” —Christine Caine

Download or read book How to Find Your Tribe written by Kiv Books and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-18 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an ever changing and exclusive "me" world it is increasingly difficult to find people that would be our permanent group of friends. It is hard to even imagine a squad that won't change members every so often. But what if you aren't the type to move out of your comfort zone? What if it is hard for you to make new friends? Are you going to just do things on your own or are you going to suffer in silence around people who don't really get you? The answer is NEITHER. You have to find a way to be able to gain the kind of friendships that would be lasting and meaningful. You have to find, make and grow your tribe. First you need to figure out what a tribe means in this day and age. The traditional meaning is a group of dwellers who grew up together in the same culture and speak a similar language. But that is not the kind of tribe that we are going to talk about here. You have to expand the meaning of that word and go ahead and identify the kind of people whom you want to have in your life. There are a lot of challenges involved in bringing people into your life. There would be some heartbreak when you have to let people go too. But all the experiences that you would have would give you a solid group of people who would be there willing to grow old with you and share their lives with you. And it would be all worth all the effort you put into it.
