Africa in My Soul: Memoir of a Childhood Interrupted is the true story of Cheryl's turbulent, and sometimes joyous years growing up in a third-world culture. When she was eight, Cheryl's family started preparing to go to Nigeria, West Africa. Cheryl's parents were to serve as Protestant missionaries with the Sudan Interior Mission (SIM). The book describes Cheryl's years growing up in the boarding school from sixth grade through graduating from twelfth grade in high school. Her parents were transferred many times from one station to another across Nigeria which is common practice with the mission, but this left her without a real sense of "having a home." Because no mission high school was readily available for Cheryl's older sister, she had to be left behind in the states with a church family. Leaving Maria behind angered and hurt her deeply, as Maria, and Cheryl were very close; Cheryl missed her terribly. The boarding school experience for Cheryl was very painful, and she had a hard time adjusting. While there, she suffered mental, physical, spiritual, and sexual abuse. But, Cheryl was a determined young girl and developed defense mechanisms. Although some were dysfunctional, they helped her deal with the challenges she was faced with-these coping strategies are described in the book. However, Cheryl experienced some very exciting things in Africa. she was the first white girl to visit in a remote village. While there, the village chief offered Cheryl's father a goat and two pigs for Cheryl's hand in marriage. She was witness to a private tribal ritual called the Fulani Tribal Beatings where young men had to endure beatings with a stick across the chest while showing no outward signs of pain in order to become a man and get married. To Cheryl, Africa was a land of magic. She dearly loved Africa, and everything about it. The African people are warm and kind; the friendliest people you will meet. Cheryl has been back to her "home-away-from-home" twice since she first left in 1967. Africa is always fresh on Cheryl's mind and deep in Cheryl's heart.
This is the debut novel of author Cheryl King. Her other work includes a collection of short stories, titled Rare Coins. In this dystopian future, corporations have openly taken control of the United States government, displacing the office of the President with a Council of Ten, supposedly equaling the ancient Greek ideal that a Senate of wise men are best suited to lead a nation. Indeed, the concept is idyllic. No more crime, no more homeless, no more pollution. Corporations provide housing in addition to employment, personal vehicles are unnecessary and cost-prohibitive. Everything is centralized. Everyone lives in a hub and works for one of ten corporations. But there is an ugly side to this supposed utopia and not everyone lives in a hub.Adam Miller was a teenager when the world changed. He believes in the good the Corporations do and is firmly convinced the process is still Democratic. His ideals are shaken as he rises higher within the Corporate hierarchy and his faith in the system is challenged when he meets and falls in love with a woman new to town, a rare enough event in this tightly controlled world now run by mega-corporations.
Who was Marjorie King? Her daughter, Jennifer, needed to know. Why did her beautiful, funny, shy mother never speak about her past? Where was her Mum’s family? They were Jennifer’s family, too. A framed portrait revealed a stunning young Asian woman. But there were no images of Marjorie as a child. And while there was a steady stream of relatives from Jennifer’s father’s family to their Swan Valley farm, from her mother’s side there was only silence. What was her secret? As Jennifer grew older, she began recording the little information her mother shared, always reluctantly and often through tears. Just down the road, her childhood friend Cheryl was surrounded by family history. Her interest in genealogy, writing and research would inevitably find her drawn in to this compelling mystery. Then a wedding, two christenings and another wedding – 20 years after the first, led to a new connection. That bond would prove vital in a chain of events which, against all odds and after almost a lifetime of searching, would shine the light on Jennifer’s way home.

Cheryl Sanders here sharpens the agenda of black liberation by offering both a fresh reading of historical black religion and a distinctive approach to Christian ethics. Arguing that the experience of oppression has been the catalyst for black moral life and thought, Sanders traces several paths or approaches that African American Christians have taken in moving from victimization to moral agency: testimony, protest, uplift, cooperation, achievement, remoralization, and ministry. Informative and engaging, earnest and constructive, Sanders's book envisions a new way of empowering people to take responsibility for their moral and spiritual development.
If this is a fair world, Cheryl H. Harrington would have most likely not written this book. This book is a thrilling story about the struggles and hardships that she has been through in this cold, hard world. It goes from the ever so loving happiness of a family, to the deepest depths of addiction. Her story is one for the history books, but also a story that tells of the strength and passion of a black woman who dreams to be successful in this world today. Not everyone can overcome the challenges she has faced in her life, but as a strong black woman in this unforgiving world, Cheryl has made a name for herself. This story here tells how that name came about. In life God provides you with chances, opportunities, situations, circumstances, and people....for a reason or a season Sometimes both. The author of this book has not written these words for entertainment, they are authentic. This is her story. I know because God has loaned her to me for quite a season now and i recognize the reason...This story being shared is one of true revelation of the meaning of a deep and loving relationship with our Divine Higher Power and most be-loved God! The courage,strength, wisdom, sincerity this soldier of the Lord has chosen to share will help those wandering in the dark to look deeper, harder and longer at the choices they have made and whom they have served within and without their struggles through life....Riveting book....awesome, metaphorically intertwined in the complex and compelling struggle Christians experienced while carry our cross...Amazing!!!!!!!!!

Cheryls Poems range from the autobiographical, with a touch of Southern gothic, to the unknown future and a little bit of everything in between (aliens, animals, coaches, crazy aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters, drugs, drunks, Elvis, the famous and infamous, geniuses, grandparents, hackers, heroes, hunters, hypocrites, judges, lawyers, lovers, players, preachers, presidents, prisoners, prostitutes, refugees, robots, royals, scientists, singers, soldiers, teachers, and so on). Have you ever been infatuated, in love, and/or in lust? Might you be interested in life in the rural South during segregation? And the deaths of President Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Robert Kennedy, or Che Guevara? Has anyone in your family ever been involved in conflict or divorce? Are you interested in adventure, family history, any history, -isms, literature, mythology, nature, peace, politics, pollution, religion, science, sports, or war? Have you wondered about the supernatural? Are you concerned with justice and rights? With the environment? With the future of the earth? Have you ever felt abused, bullied, depressed, discriminated against, sexually harassed, or insecure? (Who hasnt?) Every emotion and something for everyone are in this collection of poems. Cheryl was a ridge runner as a girl growing up in the mountains of North Carolina but has since been around the block. She has lived in seven US states and on the island of St. Lucia. For a year, she crossed the border from El Paso, Texas, to work in a hospital in Juarez in Mexico. She called Atlanta home for fifteen years when she saw and met several famous people she tells about. She lives back in her small North Carolina hometown, which has never been like Mayberry (and her daddy wasnt like Andy). She is a committed activist for the environment and justice and is interested in history, literature, people, and sciencethe past, present, and futurewhich are all reflected in her poetry.
This storybook Open Up The Gates To Jerusalem For The Queen Of Sheba is a delightful story, which recreates the two mystical, Biblical characters, the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon in a very delightful, titillating way and is designed to appeal to young children. The story line flows from the introduction of the main characters to the Biblical historical time that the two meet in Jerusalem. The story continues with easy to read text and self-defining illustrations. When the story ends, the reader will have learned about the trip across the desert in Africa to the City of Jerusalem. The reader would have viewed memorable details of the City of Jerusalem at that particular time in history. In the end of the story, the reader is made to understand that there is the perpetuity of The Ark. The Ark will be forever placed in the land of Sheba's kingdom and the Hebrew religion has won over a whole country of converts.
The Women in Jesus’s Line Three of the five women in Jesus’s line were not born among the Chosen. This is a clear indication that The LORD God chooses without prejudice relative to family origin. Tamar was of use to her father only for his own security and well-being. She suffered abuse at the hands of three of the Chosen, but The Almighty saw in her the tenacity to be numbered among His own. God granted her two sons and entrance into the line of The Messiah. Rahab had a cursed origin and lifestyle. Never-the-less, her courage in giving the Hebrew spies refuge worked to save herself and her family when Israel took Jericho. People still refer to her as a harlot, though she was one of King David’s grandmothers. Ruth was grateful that her husband’s family went to Moab to escape a famine in Israel. Left a widow, Ruth chose to accompany her mother-in-law home. Yahweh blessed her decisions with a new life, a loving, godly husband, a son, and adoption into the line of The King of Kings. Bathsheba was taken from her husband, a loyal convert to Judaism, by the chosen Israelite king who was neglectful of his commitment to The LORD God. But she submitted to The Almighty and bore David four sons, including King Solomon. When Solomon took the throne, he honored his mother. Though Mary was young and knew the consequences of being with child outside of marriage, she accepted Gabriel’s message with courage. She didn’t understand the messages she received, but she kept them in her heart. She saw her son resurrected from the dead, in power and great glory.
For Women Who Want More Than Comparing, Competing, and Coveting All of creation is content to be what it was made to be except us. Fish flourish in water. Ants are not worried about their size. But we waste time on the three C's--comparing, competing, coveting. We aim at the bull's-eye on someone else's board, pursuing a race we weren't equipped to run. Cheryl Martin shows women how to develop their God-given uniqueness rather than becoming fixated on what they are not or do not have. Distinctly You unveils the actions and attitudes that may be sabotaging women and explores ways women can engage and build up their unique talents, interests, and strengths. Readers will be inspired by examples in the Old and New Testaments of people who were exceptional for God's kingdom. As the author shares her ongoing quest to be distinct for his glory, readers see how God created them to thrive. Includes end-of-chapter questions for individual or group use.
