The Ship Faithful Steward

Pages : 350
Book Description
Ulster, in the north of the Kingdom of Ireland underwent resettlement in 1609. Defeated by the British Army in the Nine Years War, Gaelic chieftains fled, and parliament, under approval by King James implemented the Plantation of Ulster. Thousands of acres, confiscated and newly surveyed were granted to London Companies, landed gentry - people with social standing and wealth, and servitors - those favoring the king with loyalty and administrative or military service, and trade groups and churches. Scottish and English settlers migrated to Ulster, entering into land leases with the new landlords. By the mid-1700s, Ulster Scots, today known as Scots-Irish in America, and those with English and Irish ancestry, sailed from the ports of Londonderry, Newry, Portrush, Larne, and Belfast to North America. Famine, escalating lease payments, and Penal Laws designed to limit or deny political participation resulted in religious persecution, driving the descendants of the plantation settlers from their homeland. In 1785, two years following the end of the American Revolution, thousands left Ulster, lured by reports of land suitable for farming west of the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania. The phrase "look before you leap," derived in Ulster marketplaces, suggested one should investigate overseas prospects before selling possessions and leaving Ireland. On July 9, 1785 a captain from Limavady together with a crew of twelve set sail on his newly acquired three-mast ship, Faithful Steward, departing the quay at Londonderry destined for New Castle, Delaware then Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. James McIntire, age 22, from Ardstraw Bridge, County Tyrone believed he was sailing to a land where heroes live. Simon Elliott, age 65, together with Sarah (Lee) and a family of five, anticipated meeting their son John, having left Donegal in 1784 on the Lazy Mary, migrating to Pennsylvania. James Lee, age 78, and Isabella (Boscawen) and a family with relatives numbering more than four-score, left Ardara and Killybegs in Donegal for the wilds of western Pennsylvania. Merchant Gustavus Colhoun, age 19, and his older brother Thomas, a mariner and supercargo, combined their wit and experience to deliver a mysterious cargo to one of the wealthiest men in the newly formed United States. Passengers, reported to total 249 boarded Faithful Steward. Everyone's life was destined to change and forever be altered, close to the shore at Coin Beach, north of the Indian River Inlet on September 1, 1785. It was Delaware's worst maritime tragedy.

The Stewardship of Life
Author: Clarence Sexton
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781589816824
Category : Christian stewardship
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
God is always previous. The stewardship of life is our response to God. God begins the subject of stewardship in the very first chapter of the Bible. Typically, when the word "stewardship" is mentioned, most people think of money. Of course, stewardship involves much more than money. Money is only one expression of our stewardship. Stewardship involves all our response to God in life. There is nothing you or I could imagine that stewardship does not include. God wants to engage us to be laborers together with Him. You and I need to understand that God wants His work done in this world, and He created us (once we are redeemed and reconciled back to Him) to labor with Him and to do His work. When we prove faithful in one area, He enlarges our stewardship so that we work in more areas with Him. - Publisher.

The Calling of the Knowledge Steward
Author: Jon Hirst
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781941405321
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
Christians are called to be good stewards of time, talents, and treasures. Jon Hirst also urges believers to steward knowledge, an abundant resource few of us handle well. "There have been plenty of books and sermons telling Christians WHAT to think," says Hirst. "We need to explore HOW to think, and how to steward the knowledge we have to reach more people for Christ." "The Calling of the Knowledge Steward" introduces readers to Christian leaders who proactively steward knowledge today, as well as to ancient stewards found in the Bible. "Knowledge stewards excel at something all of us were created to do," says Hirst, "know and be known." Drawing on ancient spiritual disciplines and current best practices in business, Hirst issues an invitation and a challenge: "Christ is calling some of us to wade in where others fear to go, to master the mass of information, and to use it to address some of the important challenges we face."

Best-selling author Andrew Wommack shares his personal story of when he was young and strapped financially. God taught him how to have abundance in the area of finances.

A View Most Glorious (American Wonders Collection Book #3)
Author: Regina Scott
Publisher: Revell
ISBN: 149343179X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
Reluctant socialite Coraline Baxter longs to live a life of significance and leave her mark on the world. When her local suffragette group asks her to climb Mount Rainier to raise awareness of their cause, she jumps at the chance, even though she has absolutely no climbing experience. If she can do it, any woman can do it. And after her mother issues an ultimatum--that Cora marry the man of her mother's choosing if she is not successful--Cora must do it. But she can't do it alone. Noted mountain guide Nathan Hardee initially refuses to help Cora, but has a change of heart when he sees what is at stake. He knows enough about the man Cora's mother has chosen to know that the headstrong young woman should have nothing to do with him, much less marry him. Climbing Rainier will require all of Cora's fortitude and will lead her and Nathan to rediscover their faith in God and humanity. These two loners make unlikely partners in righting a wrong and may just discover that only together is the view most glorious.
