Journey with Dr. Joktan from his birthplace in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, to his current location in the United States. Dr. Joktan was raised in a staunchly religious Muslim home whose father was, and is, a widely known and respected teacher of Sunni Islam. In trying to please his father, he memorized the entire Qur'an, the Muslim holy book, by the time he was thirteen. Dr. Joktan relates how Christ appeared to him in a dream at night. This culminated in his surrendering his life to Christ as the Son of God and Savior of the world. I followed him through his rocky progression through medical school and how his father and family rejected him because of his newfound faith in Christ. It was gut-wrenching when his own father held a gun to his head demanding he renounce Christ and burn the New Testament. I followed him through a number of assassination attempts, instigated by his family and government - the price of daring to leave Islam. He was imprisoned, beaten, tortured, and shot at with bullets. When I first met him a little more than a year ago, his face still bore the scars of previous persecution. His face likely always will. Through it all, his faith in Christ remained unshaken. From start to finish his story is permeated with grace, love, joy, and the presence of God. - Dr. Ed Hoskins

Seventeen-year-old Jamilah Monsour makes plans for what she's certain is the beginning of the climate change catastrophe that will end the world. Luckily, Jamilah knows what has to be done to save her family: reluctantly her parents allow her to transform the back alley garage into a bunker, but they draw the line when she announces she's going to skip university and instead use the money they had saved for her education to buy solar panels and a generator.
When an electricity blackout strikes, Jamilah's climate change anxiety kicks into high gear and she ends up staying out all night, infuriating her father who is done with all this doomsday nonsense.

From Audre Lorde, Ntozake Shange, and Bessie Head, to Zanele Muholi, Suzan-Lori Parks, and Missy Elliott, Black women writers and artists across the African Diaspora have developed nuanced and complex creative forms. Mecca Jamilah Sullivan ventures into the unexplored spaces of black women’s queer creative theorizing to learn its languages and read the textures of its forms. Moving beyond fixed notions, Sullivan points to a space of queer imagination where black women invent new languages, spaces, and genres to speak the many names of difference. Black women’s literary cultures have long theorized the complexities surrounding nation and class, the indeterminacy of gender and race, and the multiple meanings of sexuality. Yet their ideas and work remain obscure in the face of indifference from Western scholarship.
Innovative and timely, The Poetics of Difference illuminates understudied queer contours of black women’s writing.

Описание: Many people have written numerous books on the topic of "patience". However, Segun Idahor is inspirationally blessed with great in-depth pastoral skills and insight to make an indelible difference to the extensive resources of the subject matter in his debut landmark exposition A Little Patience Will Not Hurt You. Lack of patience, the plain old "human error" and fast paced society (better known as microwaved generation) have damaged many relationships or virtues. Told in a language we can all understand, Segun`s book explores such profound questions like `What is patience?` and `How old is too old?` It also explains with a profound inspiring revelation that `God Is the Best Coach`. Armed with nothing but his ingenuity, his pastoral skills and unending sense of humor that proves to be his greatest source of strength, Segun presents his book as a heartwarming, sometimes hilarious, and sometimes heartbreaking collection of Biblical references and life transforming stories which illustrate that the more we see, the more we learn about ourselves as human beings... Segun embarks on a dogged quest to highlight these resourceful contributions about the importance of "patience" in human endeavors. It is loaded with encouragement, wisdom, prayers, and the Word of God to empower you on life`s journey of practical living with patience. Discover and comprehend how his resourcefulness makes the indelible difference. Educative at every chapter and intensely interesting at every turn...right up to its life-transforming conclusion.
