Here You Have My Story vividly describes life on the early Plains in the words of those who came to settle in the rugged region. Originally published by the Nebraska State Historical Society between 1885 and 1919, these stories provide surprisingly accurate recollections of events and life on the Great Plains, with a focus on Nebraska. Many are filled with interactions with Native Americans, from Samuel Allis’s experiences as a missionary to the Pawnees, to Henry Fontenelle’s history of the Omaha Indians, to an account of the Powder River Expedition. Early freighters and cattle drovers share their personal experiences, including the dangers and difficulties of travel, and Nebraska’s state-builders describe the early days of Omaha and the construction of the first state capitol building in Lincoln.
Here You Have My Story, edited by Richard E. Jensen, brings to life the struggles and triumphs of early Plains settlement and a time when Nebraska was young.
Описание: In the midst of this worrying world, in the midst of all our anxieties, Jesus speaks a very simple word to us. "Don't be anxious," Jesus says. "I have come to lift up the lowly. I have come to fill the empty with good things." -- from the chapter "I Fill the Hungry with Good Things" In this volume of sermons from Richard A. Jensen, one will find stories that tie together the themes of the gospel texts for Pentecost, in a way that will help a preacher better present the readings to any congregation. In Filling the Hungry with Good Things, Jensen's sermons based on Luke's gospel are shaped primarily in story form and explore his investigation of the relationship between storytelling and preaching.
