Book Synopsis 'Ever Bold to Battle Wrong by : Ewa Ph D Unoke
Download or read book 'Ever Bold to Battle Wrong written by Ewa Ph D Unoke. This book was released on 2006-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are rising, - all are rising. The black and white together! --The Little Black Boy of Atlanta Advocating for restorative justice; racial harmony and reconciliation constitute Howard University's vision for a better society. Since 1867, Howard's leaders have come from diverse backgrounds--theologians, army generals, educators, philosophers and lawyers. However, what is common to all of them is their transformational leadership skill. Under their leadership, Howard has produced leaders for the Black World and the Developing Nations more than any other institution of Higher Learning worldwide. In this anthology, Ewa Unoke, a Bison, assembles great inspirational quotations from Howard's leaders in honor of Alma Mater's educational philosophy - Leadership for America and the Global Community. The choice of short quotable quotes is consistent with the African philosophical use of aphorisms and proverbs instead of exposition. As the Africans say, the words of our ancestors are words of wisdom, the wise man or woman listens and gets wiser. Black liberation education and transitional justice will likely serve as millennial prescriptions for world peace and security because tomorrow is uncertain but today is soon enough, according to an Igbo metaphor, Onyema-echi. Dr.Ewa Unoke shares with us his favorite mantras for freedom from his Alma Mater, Howard University. Let all who read them be leaders like Gandhi who "gently shake the world" until the "table of brotherhood" that Dr. Martin Luther King talked about becomes a reality. Peace is within our grasp if we only reach out and grab the hand of the person who needs a hand up. If we all did that, all around the world, justice for all would be more than just a dream. It is a goal worth striving for. Truly, it is a dream worth dying for. --Karen Hernandez, Human Rights Activist Ewa, your admiration for the Howard spirit comes through loud and clear. All of America should know more and learn more from Howard. --Dr. Charles Reitz, Professor of Philosophy, Ethics and Logic

Book Synopsis Esther and Her Elusive God by : John Anthony Dunne
Download or read book Esther and Her Elusive God written by John Anthony Dunne. This book was released on 2014-02-12. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if the way the book of Esther has been taught to us in church and retold to us in films, cartoons, and romance novels has missed the original point of the story? Far from being models of piety and devotion, Esther and Mordecai seem indifferent to the faith of their ancestors. How then did this story become part of the Bible and gain the broad acceptance that it has? If the church should not neglect the story, how should it be read? Esther and Her Elusive God calls Christians to avoid the common attempts to make Esther more palatable and theological, and to reclaim this secular story as Scripture. Readers will be encouraged to see in Esther a profound message of God's grace and faithfulness to his wayward people.
