Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - This memoir is a searching perceptive examination of the author's 50 years of service as a preacher in the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church ministry and a scholar in the church and university. It is about how she was led into this dual profession, how she survived in it as a black woman,… how social movements and changes in society impacted her life and ambitions, and most of all, how God was always working in her life over more than eight decades, enabling her to achieve his purposes for her life.In an honest and truthful tone, Yea, Lord! Moving with the Spirit strikes at the core of the religious, racial, ethnic, political, social and spiritual issues that the world faces today and offers support and encouragement for dealing with these problems. It depicts the unique experiences of one woman who encounters and breaks down barriers in these arenas as a pioneer for other women who follow her footsteps.'I accepted my role as a divine instrument, and only God could have enabled me to adjust and readjust to the rapid changes taking place from one decade to another in the Civil Rights Movement, the Black Power Movement, the Women's Rights Movement [and] the Black Womanist Movement,' Mitchell shares. 'I think it can be of inspiration and help to many of our young people to see all that God brought me through and how I survived and thrived and even succeeded in such changing circumstances and remain alive today at age 87 years, still pastoring, doing professional writing, and continuing to inspire younger generations of today.'.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'WHY', is an epic story, 1838 - 1863, chronicling the lives of two sisters, one white, the other black, both born in 1847, three days apart, on Virginia's wealthy Rosewood Plantation. The white sister is the child of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Billings, Master and Mistress of Rosewood, one of the riche…st cotton plantations in the state of Virginia. The black girl is the issue of the mating of Henry Billings, the Master of the Rosewood Plantation, and one of his female black slaves. While growing up together, one a slave and the other her mistress, in the slave-holding antebellum South, sharing many childhood experiences, the girls are forced to adhere to the harsh rules, and laws that separate white from black. Henry and Margaret Billings, Master and Mistress of the plantation, hire a recent college graduate, Miss Eleanor Leary, a young progressive, Irish immigrant, to tutor their children, Rebecca and her brother, Jesse Despite her fear of breaking the laws that prohibit the teaching of slaves to read and write, Eleanor, at Rebecca's request, decides to include the black slave girl Mandy in their sessions. A whole new world is opened for Mandy. Through the teachings and the eyes of the white teacher, Mandy slowly, gradually, discards her insidious, lifelong feelings of racial inferiority, and self-loathing. Feelings and assumptions that Mandy had harbored and accepted from birth were now being replaced by developing feelings of racial pride and personal self-esteem. The novel examines three co-existing 19th-century American Cultures. The privileged world of the South's antebellum slaveholding, White Planter Society; The oppressed communities of the black slaves; and the noble, nomadic hunter-gatherer society of the plains Indians. The turbulent events of this time in American History result in the two sisters finding themselves living in, and experiencing the three cultures, and one sister is forced to choose between her lifelong love for her sibling, or the love that develops between her and a Comanche Warrior.
