From the author of the acclaimed The Dry Grass of August comes a richly researched yet lyrical Southern-set novel that explores the conflicts of gentrification—a moving story of loss, love, and resilience. In 1961 Charlotte, North Carolina, the predominantly black neighborhood of Brooklyn is a bustling city within a city. Self-contained and vibrant, it has its own restaurants, schools, theaters, churches, and night clubs. There are shotgun shacks and poverty, along with well-maintained houses like the one Loraylee Hawkins shares with her young son, Hawk, her Uncle Ray, and her grandmother, Bibi. Loraylee’s love for Archibald Griffin, Hawk’s white father and manager of the cafeteria where she works, must be kept secret in the segregated South. Loraylee has heard rumors that the city plans to bulldoze her neighborhood, claiming it’s dilapidated and dangerous. The government promises to provide new housing and relocate businesses. But locals like Pastor Ebenezer Polk, who’s facing the demolition of his church, know the value of Brooklyn does not lie in bricks and mortar. Generations have lived, loved, and died here, supporting and strengthening each other. Yet street by street, longtime residents are being forced out. And Loraylee, searching for a way to keep her family together, will form new alliances—and find an unexpected path that may yet lead her home.
Available once again, reissued with a new cover, Bread of Tomorrow is a successful co-edition with Christian Aid Publications. Originally published in 1992, this is a powerful and richly-varied collection of prayers which focus on praying for the world's poor when living in a society whose self interest often lies in keeping them poor. The prayers, poems and meditations through the Christian year celebrate the struggle and the hope, and the solidarity of Christians with one another. They bring the concern for the poor to the heart of the church's living worship - for prayer itself is a valid form of action on behalf of the poor. Without false jolity in the face of suffering, or simplistic sloganeering in the face of complex political problems, the prayers are about being truthfully exposed to God in the real world. Devotional and inspirational, these prayers are designed for ordinary worship in a variety of denominational settings, as well as by individuals.
Collected here in this 8-in-1 omnibus edition are all of E. M. Bounds' powerful books. No one else wrote with such power and authority on prayer. These classic books continue to inspire and instruct us on all aspects of prayer and its uses in everyday Christian life. "Prayer has to do with the entire man. Prayer takes in man in his whole being, mind, soul and body. It takes the whole man to pray, and prayer affects the entire man in its gracious results. As the whole nature of man enters into prayer, so also all that belongs to man is the beneficiary of prayer. All of man receives benefits in prayer. The whole man must be given to God in praying. The largest results in praying come to him who gives himself, all of himself, all that belongs to himself, to God. This is the secret of full consecration, and this is a condition of successful praying, and the sort of praying which brings the largest fruits." -E. M. Bounds
In The Necessity of Prayer, Edward Bounds, a 20th century pastor and lawyer, suggests that prayer is an essential part of the Christian believer's life. He writes, "the Christian soldier, if he fight to win, must pray much." Bounds' book, however, is not simply a list of prayers for one to work through, but also a discourse on the very nature of prayer. He connects the nature of prayer to other features of the Christian life, such as faith, reverence, patience, hope, character, conduct, and faithfulness. Bounds' passion for prayer--which compelled him to write nine books on the topic--shines through in this work, and cannot but help motivate those who read it to also see the necessity of prayer. Perfect for individual study, Bounds' book is sure to change the way one prays. -Tim Perrine, CCEL Staff Writer
In this work, Bounds offers up and explanation of how necessary prayer is in the Christian life. Not only does prayer bring us before God, but increases faith and dependence on God. Bounds offers a few Biblical examples of praying people in the Bible and the benefits that came from it.
What the Church needs to-day is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more and novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can use -- men of prayer, men mighty in prayer. The Holy Ghost does not flow through methods, but through men. He does not come on machinery, but on men. He does not anoint plans, but men -- men of prayer. An eminent historian has said that the accidents of personal character have more to do with the revolutions of nations than either philosophic historians or democratic politicians will allow. This truth has its application in full to the gospel of Christ, the character and conduct of the followers of Christ -- Christianize the world, transfigure nations and individuals. Of the preachers of the gospel it is eminently true.
The Lord's Prayer is the world's most well-known prayer -- yet because of its familiarity we often recite it by rote. This 8-session study helps you rediscover its spiritual power and depth. By using the term Abba, loosely translated as Daddy, to begin the prayer, Jesus tells us that the Ruler of the universe is not just our strong, dependable Father but also a compassionate and loving Daddy with whom we can have an affectionate, intimate relationship. Stimulating discussion questions and tips to assist small group leaders are included.
