Book Description
How many times have you picked up a book, looked into its pages and discovered it was full of violence or sex. So you put it back on the shelf and remain disappointed with today's literature. You won't have that experience with my books, and particularly with the Wendy Trotter book you hold in your hand. As a writer of Christian literature I have made it a policy to intermingle the values we treasure with the story line. Wendy Trotter is a somewhat typical teenager who is very much devoted to her church and her Lord. Her mentor, a Pastor Zem, has a class of teenage boys and girls that he instructs in the eternal verities. Everyone knows one can't shut out the world from one's life. It keeps intruding, as it does in Wendy Trotter's world. But unlike most girls her age, Wendy faces the problems that arise with the indomitable faith of a Christian, a faith that says there is nothing that God can't do. Nothing is impossible with God. Pastor Zem remains an inscrutable purveyor of Truth and is always there to remind Wendy of the Bible Truth that can solve any problem we face. Even in the face of the Devil and his cohorts, Wendy Trotter and Pastor Zem hold high the Cross and frustrate the witches and the warlocks. Some of Old Scratch's followers wind up in the church. And there we see the age-old conflict of Christ versus the Antichrist.I enjoyed bringing Wendy Trotter to a wide audience through Trafford Publishing, and I hope that you will not only enjoy it, but pass the word to your friends, that there is now a new Christian genre in literature that they may enjoy as well. And may this book be a blessing to you and yours, Winston Rice June 2002

Boy @ the Window
Author: Donald Earl Collins
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780989256131
Category : African Americans
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
As a preteen Black male growing up in Mount Vernon, New York, there were a series of moments, incidents and wounds that caused me to retreat inward in despair and escape into a world of imagination. For five years I protected my family secrets from authority figures, affluent Whites and middle class Blacks while attending an unforgiving gifted-track magnet school program that itself was embroiled in suburban drama. It was my imagination that shielded me from the slights of others, that enabled my survival and academic success. It took everything I had to get myself into college and out to Pittsburgh, but more was in store before I could finally begin to break from my past. "Boy @ The Window" is a coming-of-age story about the universal search for understanding on how any one of us becomes the person they are despite-or because of-the odds. It's a memoir intertwined with my own search for redemption, trust, love, success-for a life worth living. "Boy @ The Window" is about one of the most important lessons of all: what it takes to overcome inhumanity in order to become whole and human again.

Drawing on quantitative analysis of the records of more than 1,500 children living at the two orphanages, as well as census data, city logs, and contemporary social science surveys, this study raises new questions about the role of childcare in constructing and perpetrating social inequality in the United States.

Twice-Rescued Child
Author: Thomas Graumann
Publisher: SPCK
ISBN: 0281083142
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
Aged eight, Thomas Graumann excitedly boarded a train in Prague, Czechoslovakia, to embark on what he believed was a three-month holiday. “Go to Britain, learn English, and when the Germans leave, you can come home again,” his mother assured him. Thomas carried two suitcases and a bag of food. At the time he knew his country had been taken over by the Germans and now was under Nazi control. That was the last he would see of his mother and most of his Jewish family, who died in concentration camps. He had also never heard of Nicholas Winton, the hero who saved 669 children (Thomas was one of the last, #652), transporting them from Czechoslovakia to the UK to save their lives. This was Thomas’ first rescue, aboard what became known as the Kindertransport. His second came a year later when an evangelist from the Scottish village he was taken to for safety shared the good news of Jesus Christ with him. Saying a prayer on bent knee, Thomas’ soul was rescued, and he soon dedicated himself to missionary service, which he fulfilled as an adult in the Philippines, eventually moving to the U.S. But his missionary zeal returned after the fall of Communism—and the return of his grandmother’s property to his family. Both actions ushered in a way for him to return to the Czech Republic. The former rescued child was now free to travel throughout his homeland, speaking in schools of how he was rescued ... not once, but twice.
