Book Description
Shortly before her death, Selina of ‘Selina of Sussex 1818-1886’, hands her eldest daughter Ruth the manuscript of her writings, suggesting she might like to continue the story of the Page family into the next generation. With some trepidation Ruth takes up the challenge. Her story is a worthy successor to her mother’s ‘autobiography’. The reader is given fresh insight into life in rural Sussex, both from a child’s point of view and then from an adult’s perspective, when Ruth herself marries and moves to Patcham with Dan Holder. A lively, readable story emerges from the skilful combining of historical fact with imaginary detail drawn from extensive research into nineteenth century Sussex life and from Ruth’s own account of her spiritual journey, edited by her son and published in the Gospel Standard subsequent to her death. Expressing many of her personal thoughts, feelings and spiritual concerns, Ruth reveals the way God graciously led her into a firm faith in Jesus Christ, sustained her through a period of severe depression, gave her eight children and enabled her to run a blacksmith’s business during more than thirty years of widowhood. The author, Leonard Holder, is Ruth’s great grandson.

From a Square to a Circle

Publisher: Harbour Publishing
ISBN: 1990776868
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 496
Book Description
Delores Churchill, Haida weaver, shares the stories of her life, her culture, and the importance of passing cultural knowledge from one generation to the next. Told with humility, humour, and deep respect, From a Square to a Circle is a testament to the values of her people, a technical guide to her masterful weaving skills, and a gift to the reader at every point along her journey. This book shines light on Delores’s weaving teachers, including her strong-minded mother Selina (Ilst’aayaa), whose teachings Delores once resisted as a child. The Haida are connected to weaving through their history, which goes back thousands of years ago as shown through discoveries like the 4,000-year-old baskets at south Baranof. Her homeland of Haida Gwaii also gives her people the materials needed for weaving. Walk with Delores as she harvests cedar bark for baskets, Selina teaching “by modelling and then leaving the learner to imitate.” Learn the weaving harvest and preparation terminology. Follow the steps of how to prepare cedar bark, harvest spruce roots, and learn natural dye recipes. Photos and diagrams are visual aids that accompany the steps to Haida weaving techniques and instructions. Having passed her skills on to hundreds of people, believing that “weaving belongs to all of us,” Delores wishes to share the knowledge of basketweaving where beginners and skilled weavers are able to express their distinct selves, just as every coastal Indigenous weaving style is unique. The love for basketweaving displayed in Delores’s writing is sure to make readers yearn to try their own hand at the craft.

Ebenezer’s Grandson
Author: Leonard Holder
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1664116028
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 506
Book Description
Faith in God demands obedience and trust. The authors of Ebenezer’s Grandson recount how each faltering step of obedience to that which they firmly believed to be God’s guidance, led them and their family slowly into situations where their only security was God Himself and the promises of His word. In writing this book Leonard Holder recognises the debt he and his wife Phyllis owe to the faith and prayers of earlier generations. Their journey of faith led them north to Yorkshire and then to German-speaking Europe, where after six years in Switzerland they moved into the Black Forest in southern Germany and established Haus Barnabas, a centre for evangelism and the encouragement of Christians. Phyllis writes that for years she had really no idea what she was suited to, but gradually began to sense that God was showing her how her particular gifts and personality could best serve Him. Eventually she realised that God had fulfilled this vision; it was Haus Barnabas. This book is a detailed account of the journey. Some of their experiences along the way they wouldn’t wish on anyone, but God knew the discipline and training the couple needed and His love and faithfulness is amazing.
