Book Description
This is the story of one man's burden for the city he lived in and loved. Detroit, once America's leading industrial city, falls with political corruption, racial intolerance, and its auto industry's refusal to change. Bob spearheads the partnering of his New York City church with an inner-city Detroit church, trusting God's power to take one small step in revitalizing Detroit. This book may challenge you to trust God to raise you from your own struggles. "Bob Chancia has accurately and passionately communicated the issues facing Detroit as well as the hope for Detroit-the Gospel of Jesus Christ ... because Jesus is the only hope for Detroit and all men. Bob, a native New Yorker, loves Detroit as much as we native Detroiters. I couldn't put this book down! A must read!" -Diane Denaro Frank, founder and executive director, AngelHouse.org "Here is the account of a miracle touching two great cities. New York's Calvary Baptist Church, by joining with Detroit's Citadel of Faith Covenant Church, has displayed the power and presence of Christ in helping bring a once great city back to vibrant life. Bob Chancia has beautifully and forcefully recounted this miracle that touches two cities." -Rev. James O. Rose, pastor emeritus, Calvary Baptist Church, New York City; Dallas Theological Seminary board of directors for nineteen years.

Us/Nosotros
Author: Rodrigo Díaz Carrillo
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1532078080
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 85
Book Description
This is a book of freeform poetry written in both, English and Spanish from the point of view of a man who, without formal education and from a small village in the State of Jalisco, México, emigrated to the United States along thousands of others in search of a better life. In plain, visual language, he tells stories about his youth, about his family and traditions, and the sharp contrast between two worlds. The sometimes crude reality of his poems describe his arrival, his progress not only on learning English without a schoolroom but also his start on the labor force including picking fruit in California, his mishaps and adventures, his progress fitting in and, finally, the way he sees his home country at this stage on his life. Este es un libro de poesía espontánea escrito en ambos, Inglés y Español, desde el punto de vista de un hombre quien, sin una educación formal y proveniente de un pequeño rancho en el Estado de Jalisco, México, emigró a los Estados Unidos como lo hicierom miles de otros en búsqueda de una vida mejor. En un lenguaje sencillo y visual, él cuenta historias de su juventud, de su familia y tradiciónes y el agudo contraste entre dos mundos. En una forma realista y algunas veces cruda, él describe en sus poemas su llegada, su progreso no solamente en aprender el Inglés sin un salón de clases pero también su comienzo en la fuerza laboral incluyendo la pizca de fruta en California, sus tropiezos y aventuras, su progreso de asimilación y, finalmente, la forma en que vé a su país natal hasta esta etapa de su vida.
