Book Description
Through the eyes and voice of Deacon James Sturgis, the reader can understand how ones' early life experiences can lay the foundation that shapes the evolvement of character from childhood to adulthood. In his book, he chronicles how events and incidents served as learning experiences for him. He tells us that his grandfather whipped him and explained to him why what he had done in disobedience was wrong. A prime example was the time he and his sister slipped out of the house to attend a house party and thought their grandparents would never know. However, a neighbor changed all of that. The book shows how a strong determination can help propel individuals to fulfill dreams held from childhood into successful realization as adults. Deacon Sturgis wanted to be a singer from the age of five and worked toward that goal until he became the renowned singer he is today. In addition, he influenced many other lives along the way. Especially, he has had a great influence in developing the unity and cohesiveness of the Bright Stars. The unity is based on his wisdom, teaching, and leadership. Through him the reader, future Bright Stars, and other gospel singers can get a glimpse of the religious, cultural, and social structure of the era in which he has lived. All of these are given as he traces his life and times. He takes us through a range of emotions from sympathy and sadness to excitement, and hilarity. For his protégés, the Bright Stars, and other gospel singers, Deacon Sturgis' account will bring new revelations of what godly vision, determination, and not seeking personal gratification, can steer one life to GOD. His burning desire is to do ALL for the GLORY OF GOD!

Holy Women, Holy Men
Author: Church Publishing,
Publisher: Church Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 0898696372
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 798
Book Description
Fully revised and expanded, this new work is the first major revision of the liturgical calendar of the Episcopal Church in more than 40 years! It is the official revision of Lesser Feasts and Fasts and authorized by the 2009 General Convention. All commemorations in Lesser Feasts and Fasts have been retained, and many new ones added. Three scripture readings (instead of current two) are provided for all minor holy days. Additional new material includes a votive mass of the Blessed Virgin Mary, many more ecumenical commemorations, plus a proper for space exploration. For years the oft revised volume, Lesser Feasts and Fasts (LFF), has served parishes and individuals mark part of the holiness of each day by providing Scripture readings, a collect, a Eucharistic preface, and a narrative about those remembered on the church's calendar that day whose lives have witnessed to the grace of God. Holy Women, Holy Men (HWHM) is a major effort to revise, but also to expand and enrich LFF. Where LFF provided two readings (gospel and other New Testament) plus a psalm, HWHM adds an Old Testament citation. Where LFF was limited to few non-Anglicans in the post-reformation period (and few non-Episcopalians after 1789), HWHM dramatically broadens appreciation for other Christians and their traditions. Over-emphasis on clergy is redressed by additional laity, males by females, and "in-church" activities by contributions well beyond the workings of institutional agendas. These almost daily commemorations occupy over 600 of the book's 785 pages, by far the lion's share of its content. Remaining sections address: principles of revision and guides for future revision; liturgical propers for seasons (Advent/Christmas, Lent, and Easter); and new propers for a miscellany of propers usable with individuals (or events) not officially listed in the formal calendar. Two cycles of propers for daily Eucharist are also included, one covering a six week period, the other a two year cycle.
