Rage To Survive

The Etta James Story

By: David Ritz,Etta James

Etta tells it like it is. I related to every page. Great book!"--Ray Charles Etta James--brash, sassy, and uncannily gifted--has left a soul-sized footprint on modern music, from blues to R&B to jazz. As the Houston Chronicle puts it, her "expressive voice and exquisite dramatic timing can actually make you tremble." Rage to Survive captures that amazing voice. Etta tells riveting stories of her youth in Los Angeles--from being discovered at age five singing in her church choir (when celebrities like Lana Turner and Orson Welles would sneak in the back to listen to the girl genius) to why she hates encores (her father would drag her out of bed in the middle of the night to sing for his card-playing buddies) to her first hit record and her work with Chuck Berry, Tina Turner, and the great stars of the Golden Age of Soul. She tells of meeting the man she believes is her father--the legendary pool hustler Minnesota Fats--her recovery from the grip of drugs, her childhood dealing with a mother who worked on the streets, and her lifelong trouble with "bad men." To quote Liz Smith in Newsday: "Candid? Brutally honest? You don't know about candor and brutal honesty until you've read Etta's life story in her own rough, unvarnished, and humorously right-on words . . . any major movie studio would do itself a huge favor by turning this book into a sizzling, big-screen saga.

Engaging Italy

American Women's Utopian Visions and Transnational Networks

By: Etta M. Madden

Engaging Italy charts the intertwined lives and writings of three American women in Italy in the 1860s and '70s—journalist Anne Hampton Brewster (1818–92), orphanage and industrial school founder Emily Bliss Gould (1825–75), and translator Caroline Crane Marsh (1816–1901). Brewster, Gould, and Marsh did not follow their callings abroad so much as they found them there. The political and religious unrest they encountered during Italian Unification put their utopian visions of expatriate life to the test. It also prompted these women to engage these changes and take up their pens both privately and publicly. Though little-known today, their diaries, letters, poetry, and news accounts help to rewrite the story of American women abroad inherited from figures such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mark Twain, and Henry James. Both feminist recovery project and collective biography, Engaging Italy contributes to the growing body of scholarship on transatlantic nineteenth-century women writers while focusing particular attention on the shared texts and ties linking Brewster, Gould, and Marsh. Etta M. Madden demonstrates the generative power of literary and social networks during moments of upheaval.

Citizenship and Service

The Politics of Civic National Service in Israel

By: Etta Bick

All citizens in a democracy are promised the same guaranteed rights, but should they have the same obligations? Should minorities with different attitudes toward the state be obliged to do national service in the name of equality? And what are the social and political consequences for minorities not given the opportunity to serve? This groundbreaking study examines civic (non-military) national service in Israel from independence until today, focusing on the controversies that ensued as the ethos of Israeli citizenship evolved from republican to liberal. Civic national service for religious girls was instituted in 1971 on a voluntary basis while remaining closed to others. After 2000, the program gradually extended to youth unsuitable for military service, Haredim (ultra-Orthodox), and Arabs. Etta Bick reveals the politics surrounding civic service policy using government documents and reports, newspaper accounts, and interviews. Civic national service remains a subject of contention both in the Arab community and among the Haredim, where some choose to serve despite the opposition of their leaders. Bick concludes that minority participation in civic national service is a positive and critical step toward their greater inclusion and integration into Israeli society. If Israeli policymakers adopt a more communitarian approach to citizenship and to civic national service, it will contribute to building stronger communities and empowering youth, benefitting all.

After The Valley, The Desert

By: Mary-Etta Jean Hinkle

In II Corinthians 7:5, the Apostle Paul speaks of fightings within and fightings without. This second book Mary-Etta has written predominately details the fightings without, though no without fail to chip away at the soul of a person with testings, and one who truly knows the Lord will search every fiber of their soulish self to see, "If there be any wicked way within me?" Satan attacked her through her role as a Christian mother with the necessity to launch repeated warfare against his wiles. Jesus said to his followers, "Think that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, AND A MAN'S FOES SHALL BE THEY OF HIS OWN HOUSEHOLD."(Matt: 10 34-36) Mary-Etta has oft ministered in prayer to mothers who are suffering emotional pain regarding motherhood. Her desire is to encourage all Christian mothers who are fighting similar battles with this admonishment. "DO NOT GIVE UP." "for you shall reap if you faint not. (Galations: 6:9)

Schools That Do Too Much

Wasting Time and Money in Schools and What We Can All Do About It

By: Etta Kralovec

Schools That Do Too Much argues that American schools systematically misspend their two most precious resources: time and money. From class schedules that fragment students' time to budgets that sink money into dozens of activities-especially sports-that distract from learning, Kralovec shows us how schools over and over try to do too much and end up delivering too little by way of real teaching and learning.

Church Wake-Up Call

A Ministries Management Approach That is Purpose-Oriented and Inter-Generational in Outreach

By: William Benke,Le Etta Benke,Robert E Stevens,David L Loudon

Is your church viable in the changing marketplace of today--and tomorrow? Today's church market is comprised of four cultural paradigms--Youth, Baby Busters (Generation X), Baby Boomers, and Pre-Boomers. Each has unique characteristics in terms of attitudes, spiritual orientation, values, emotional needs, moral perspective, and lifestyle. This implies significant changes for the church--new approaches to ministry and different methods of communication and interface. Church Wake-Up Call's unique “Ministries Matrix” approach provides effective management techniques to help you define and evaluate duties, priorities, and remedial actions for the future of your ministry in today's multigenerational context. Church Wake-Up Call will inform and enlighten you on these subjects: understanding and using the Ministries Matrix to define purposes and priorities for your church eirecting your ministry toward a particular age group without compromising the church's message increasing your church's visibility structuring your church's management organization creating an effective outreach program . . . and more! Although the book is oriented toward churches and their leadership and has been written largely from an evangelical Christian perspective, the descriptive information regarding each of the generational categories that comprise today's populace is applicable to all Christian organizations, whether they be evangelical or mainline Protestant, Catholic or parachurch. Similarly, the management system, which integrates defined purposes, priorities, and programming options into a well-coordinated plan of action, can be applied by all such organizations.

Ephesians

Thoughts about the Scripture

By: Mary Etta Miller

The title, Ephesians: Thoughts about the Scripture, was derived from many years of Bible journaling. After reading my Bible, I journal thoughts about the scriptures I have read and studied based on the inspiration God has given me and how it speaks to my heart. Writing about God's Word makes it come alive to me. I share what is in my heart about the love I have for the Lord God and the great love He has for each one of us. This book is a combination devotional/Bible study.

Transforming Curriculum for A Culturally Diverse Society

Transforming Curriculum for A Culturally Diverse Society

By: Etta R. Hollins

The intention of this book is to engage educators in transforming the public school curriculum for a culturally diverse society. This means more than including knowledge about diverse populations. It means reconceptualizing school practices through debate, deliberation, and collaboration involving the diverse voices that comprise the nation. Certain key questions must be addressed in this process: * What should be the purpose of schooling in a culturally diverse society? * Who should be involved in curriculum planning and what process should be employed? * How is the actualized curriculum differentiated? * What is the relationship between school practices and the structure of the larger society? * How should the curriculum be evaluated? The authors of the essays in this book address critical perspectives from which a framework is constructed for a discourse on planning curriculum for a culturally diverse society. In a substantive introduction, Hollins presents the major themes and overall goals of the book and describes how the readings in each of the four parts are linked to each other and to these themes and goals. Each part begins with critical questions and an overview to provide a framework and a focus for the readings that follow, and concludes with suggested learning experiences.

Ten Reasons Why Judgment Must Begin in the House of God

By: Etta B. Harbin

Sinking Saints: Ten Reasons Why Judgment Must Begin in the House of God is a compelling expose that unearths the skulls and bones of secret sins lying dormant in every Christian home and local assembly, and initiates the critical process of awakening and cleansing the church of all its well-known, but ignored, closet crimes.
