Book Description
In A History of Conversion to Islam in the United States, Volume 2: The African American Islamic Renaissance, 1920-1975 Patrick D. Bowen offers an in-depth account of African American Islam as it developed in the United States during the fifty-five years that followed World War I. Having been shaped by a wide variety of intellectual and social influences, the ‘African American Islamic Renaissance’ appears here as a movement that was characterized by both great complexity and diversity. Drawing from a wide variety of sources—including dozens of FBI files, rare books and periodicals, little-known archives and interviews, and even folktale collections—Patrick D. Bowen disentangles the myriad social and religious factors that produced this unprecedented period of religious transformation.

Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 375
Book Description
Science fiction, fantasy and horror movies have spawned more sequels and remakes than any other film genre.

The traditional cinematic monsters are represented--Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wolf Man, a new Mummy.

Convicted - Converted - Forgiven
Author: Levon E. Davis
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 138707458X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
Have you ever wondered how someone gets to the point where he commits murder? That was the question I asked myself while serving a double life sentence plus two years, and the potential to face the death penalty. I had a hard heart and no hope of release when I met a tiny woman who changed my life. She asked me what I wanted to do with my life. No one had ever asked me that before, but it got me thinking and I couldn't help but wonder why I was born. Was there really a God who had a master plan that included someone like me? And if so, was there still time to live out His dream?
