Volume I

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Patience Worth, a disembodied spirit, communicated through the mediumship of Pearl Curran from June 1913 to December 1937. At first, Patience communicated through Pearl by actuating Pearl's movements (i.e. having Pearl spell out words) while she was using an Ouija board. Later, Patience was able to communicate through Pearl more directly by activating Pearl's repertoir of mental images and thoughts. Over the course of this extraordinary relationship, Patience, through Pearl, dictated six books and engaged in lively conversations with hundreds of individuals from all walks of life. Scattered throughout Patience's conversations were numerous poems, essays, short stories, witticisms, and parables - all of a high literary and spiritual quality. These conversations, which consist of some four million words, were carefully recorded. They fill eleven bound volumes, which are kept at the Missouri Historical Society. This book contains the text of Patience's conversations found in volume one.

The Gospel of Jesus Christus According to Patience Worth

By: Patience Worth

In June 1917, Henry Holt and Company published a book over 600 pages long entitled: "The Sorry Tale: A Story of the Time of Christ." Critics hailed it as a literary masterpiece. What makes it more amazing is this book was dictated a letter at a time by Patience Worth, a disembodied spirit, through the mediumship of Pearl Curran. "The Sorry Tale" contains an elegant and exquisite depiction of the gospel of Jesus Christ that has been extracted and presented here in this book, "The Gospel of Jesus Christus According to Patience Worth." This gospel provides novel insights into the life and lessons of Jesus. It reads like an eyewitness account and includes many fascinating intimate details. This unique document is for open-minded individuals who can recognize the Word of God, regardless of the channel through which it flows. In each generation, God provides us with an opportunity to cast off the past and hear His Word anew. This gospel is just such an opportunity.

How Did I Get Here?

The Power of Choices

By: Patience Frisby

We go through life making choices without thinking of their impact—until the day things stop for one reason or another, and we look up and wonder how we got here. In How Did I Get Here?, Patience Frisby shares inspirational insight into her journey of choices—a journey that led her to relocate to Charlotte, North Carolina, at age fifty to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a lawyer, only to have that dream transform into a nightmare when she was dismissed for an academic violation. Utterly devastated and angry with God, Patience reveals how her move back to Maryland prompted her to take a hard look at her life while studying biblical characters and how their choices either led them to their destiny or further from it. As she eventually found the strength to move forward, Patience details how she gradually rebuilt her life and renewed her faith in God by making intentional choices fueled by wisdom. How Did I Get Here? shares a true story of personal and spiritual transformation as a Christian compares her choices with those of biblical characters and how they affected her destiny. “Fasten your seatbelt. Your entire life is about to change ... In this book you will finally get the answer to your most pressing question: How did I get here? And you will also find the strength to move forward.” —Tamara Jackson, Host, Publishing Secrets podcast and Founder, ChristianAuthors.net

A House Divided

Slavery and Emancipation in Delaware, 1638-1865

By: Patience Essah

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

A House Divided

Slavery and Emancipation in Delaware, 1638-1865

By: Patience Essah

Delaware stood outside the primary streams of New World emancipation. Despite slavery's virtual demise in that state during the antebellum years and Delaware's staunch Unionism during the Civil War itself, the state failed to ratify the Thirteenth Amendment, which prohibits slavery, until 1901. Patience Essah takes the reader of A House Divided through the introduction, evolution, demise, and final abolition of slavery in Delaware. In unraveling the enigma of how and why tiny Delaware abstained from the abolition mandated in northern states after the American Revolution, resisted the movement toward abolition in border states during the Civil War, and stubbornly opposed ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment, she offers fresh insight into the history of slavery, race, and racialism in America. The citizens of Delaware voluntarily freed over 90 percent of their slaves, yet they declined Lincoln's 1862 offer of compensation for emancipation, and the legislature persistently foiled all attempts to mandate emancipation. Those arguing against emancipation expressed fears that it inadvertently would alter the delicate balance of political power in the state. What Essah has found at the base of the Delaware paradox is a political discourse stalemated by instrumental appeals to racialism. In showing the persistence of slavery in Delaware, she raises questions about postslavery race relations. Her analysis is vital to an understanding of the African-American experience.

Quality in Higher Education as a Tool for Human Development

Enhancing Teaching and Learning in Zimbabwe

By: Patience Mukwambo

Whilst many studies have explored how quality in higher education is conceptualised in the Global North, less attention has been paid to quality in higher education in Africa and the Global South. This book uses the human development and capabilities approach to demonstrate how quality in teaching and learning contributes to a range of benefits, such as improved wellbeing, economic outcomes, political engagement, and human capital formation amongst graduates. The book interrogates the various dimensions of quality as well as factors that impact on the realisation of quality in universities and society at large. Recognising that measures of quality are context and stakeholder specific, the book uses the Zimbabwean context as a Global South case study. It evaluates how quality is conceptualised and operationalised in Zimbabwean universities, and how that impacts on teaching and learning policy and practice. The book also demonstrates the need for economic resources for individuals and universities, and emphasises the importance of a social and educational environment conducive to critical learning, and post-university opportunities. This book will be of interest to researchers across Education, African and Development Studies, as well as to policymakers and practitioners with an interest in quality assurance and the promotion of teaching and learning in universities in the Global South.

Why Does an Orderly God Allow Disorder

By: Patience Johnson

I wrote this book in my darkest time and realized that I must use my experiences to teach people many ways to enjoy both sides of life. I believe that there is no such thing as a good time or bad time in life. Rather, I see opportunities for creative invention, regeneration, growth, circumcision of heart, and thinking about the past and the future. I wrote this book to answer some of the world's most commonly asked questions, which always cross my mind. I propose many sources of the problems we have in the world, as well as solutions for how to handle them. Do the politicians really have the solution to our economic problems? Can the world ever experience peace and harmony? Has religion done us more harm than good? Is there really a God? If there is one, where can we find him/her? I think that, after reading this book, most of your questions will be answered. Human beings forget that there are two sides to everything: the good and the bad, the sun and the moon, night and day, light and darkness. Unfortunately, we choose to see only the good sides of existence as being beneficial and refuse to embrace and see the opportunities that can come from the hard times. We may be so busy seeing the faults of other people and not our own; could that be one of the reasons we seem to misunderstand each other? I hope to impart my wisdom to you. Do not worry about death, but consider how to be prepared when it comes. Additionally, you must acknowledge God and his sovereignty, and not only by attending church or Mosque. This book also teaches about parenting, attitudes, character and many other things about life.

The XX Edge

Unlocking Higher Returns and Lower Risk

By: Patience Marime-Ball,Ruth Shaber

In The XX Edge, Patience Marime-Ball and Ruth Shaber envision a new paradigm of gender-focused investing where more women are placed in decision-making roles and able to optimize their skills across all capital markets—leading to higher returns for individual investors and greater economic growth. There’s a simple but often overlooked investment strategy to earning higher returns—include women as financial decision-makers within your organization or team. That’s The XX Edge. Seasoned executives and investors Patience Marime-Ball and Ruth Shaber demonstrate the new paradigm where women are at the center of investing as agents and actors—not just as beneficiaries. If you manage investments—either your own or others'—you’ll want to understand the data and discover the financial power of The XX Edge: Gender-inclusive teams are 21% more likely to see outperformance in profitability relative to peers Female CFOs deliver a 6% increase in profits and an 8% stock performance bump compared to overall performance under male predecessors New companies with a female founder performed 63% better than those with all-male teams over an observed ten-year period Women-run hedge funds outperformed the average of larger hedge funds by a margin of 6% over a six-and-a-half-year period You’ll discover the inherent gender differences between women and men and why these differences make women excellent financial decision makers and investment collaborators. Patience and Ruth unpack the evidence that proves this point across all asset classes. The XX Edge shows that when women make financial decisions and apply their skills across all capital markets, it leads to higher returns for individual investors and greater economic growth—a true win-win for all.

Nazis in Pre-War London, 1930-1939

The Fate and Role of German Party Members and British Sympathizers

By: James J Barnes,Patience P Barnes

Once war broke out in September 1930 the Nazi Party newspaper, Völkischer Beobachter, sent its first representative to London. Soon afterwards, German residents in London established an Ortsgruppe, or local Nazi group, which provided Party members with a place to congregate and support the new movement. By 1933, more than 100 members belonged to the London group. The Nazis in pre-war London created a dilemma for the Foreign Office and the Home Office, who were divided as to how best to treat residents whose allegiance was to the German Reich. Some felt that all Nazi organizations should be banned, and Party Members should not be allowed to enter the UK. Others, including MI5, argued that it would be easier to keep track of Nazis if they were in-country. Previously unpublished German documents reveal the fate of German diplomats, journalists, and professionals, many of whom were interned in Britain or deported to Nazi Germany once war broke out on 3 September 1939. Nazis in Pre-War London is the first book to study the history of the Nazis in Britain. An Appendix lists the details concerning the nearly 400 German Party members, as well as Nazi journalists, who spent time in Britain prior to the war.

Private and Confidential

Letters from British Ministers in Washington to the Foreign Secretaries in London, 1844-67

By: James J. Barnes,Patience P. Barnes

The private letters usually dealt with matters of the greatest urgency and diplomatic delicacy and were intended only for the eyes of the recipients, not for subordinates in the Foreign Office. They were sent with special care by diplomatic courier so as not to fall into the hands of the United States Post Office where they might be appropriated by press reporters. The Barneses have provided each letter with an introduction in order to place it in its contemporary context. Allusions within the letters are clarified by notes. Brief biographical sketches of key individuals are included in an appendix. Because of the private nature of these letters, they give a fuller and more human dimension to the events they describe. There are remarkable insights concerning American politics and society by foreign diplomats who were not casual travelers but experienced observers trained to note and record their impressions.

Becoming a Religious Sister

Erik Erikson and Donald Winnicott in Dialogue

By: Patience Quayson

Patience Quayson explores what compels someone to answer the call to live a religious life in this book. She undertook this study to fully understand the extent of the psychological imbalance or immaturity of individuals answering the call to the religious life. She highlights the psychological traits that can help young adults thrive when they decide to serve the Lord. While such service can be incredibly rewarding, she does not gloss over the not-so-positive aspects of living in a convent that are so little talked about, which can bring sorrow to others. Poor interpersonal relationships between the leaders and the sisters, ineffective decision-making processes, and the arbitrary sending home of younger members are all addressed. Anyone who decides to make serving the Lord their life’s work must possess a certain level of maturity. The author explores what someone must ask themselves before embarking on a religious life, including looking at their past and making an honest assessment about their potential for growth.

One Snowy Night

By: Patience Griffin

A woman struggling to raise her daughter alone in a small Alaskan town finds her simple existence upended when the father of her child returns. . . . Sweet Home, Alaska, was once a thriving, idyllic town, where A Stone's Throw Hardware and Haberdashery and the Sisterhood of the Quilt were the cornerstones of the community. Then, in one fatal moment, two young lives were cut short, and everything changed. Now the Stone family businesses have closed, the diner is in the red, and the population has dwindled to 573. After the tragic accident that took her sister's life, Hope McKnight discovered she was pregnant, and gave up her dreams of college to raise her daughter. When Donovan Stone returns to sell his family's properties and to cut final ties with Sweet Home, he's shocked to find Hope still there--and a single mother. The pull between Hope and Donovan is as powerful as ever. But so are the secrets and lies stemming from that long-ago tragedy. Will they be able to overcome the past, or will the heartbreak of bygone days destroy their love again?

Legal Discrepancies: Internal Displacement of Women and Children in Africa

By: Veronica Patience Fynn

Veronica Fynn's "Legal Discrepancies: Internal Displacement of Women and Children in Africa" is not only timely (produced soon after Africa adopts its historical Convention on the Protection and Assistance of Internally Displaced People in Africa, 2009). "Legal Discrepancies: Legal Discrepancies: Internal Displacement of Women and Children in Africa" offers the first comprehensive, holistic, and multi-disciplinary examination on the efficacy of international, regional and national laws and policies in protecting and assisting IDPs. Fynn's research provides a thought provoking framework for academics, lawyers, public health practitioners, aid workers, national governments, regional institutions and international organizations to rethink the legal space within which internally displaced peoples lingers.

Not Either an Experimental Doll

The Separate Worlds of Three South African Women

By: Lily Patience Moya,Mabel Palmer,Sibusisiwe Makhanya

... remarkable... " --Foreign Affairs "... illuminates the workings of institutionalized racism through the correspondence of three South African women in the 1940s and '50s." --Feminist Bookstore News "The history of a place and time is made vivid by the combination of the rich personal record of the letters and the theoretically framed analytic discussion. The result is new insight into the history of black education in South Africa, and a revealing study of the dynamics of women's relations under colonialism across the lines of race, age and power." --Susan Greenstein, The Women's Review of Books "A riveting and revealing book--one in which few of the characters wear hats that are spotlessly white." --Third World Resources "This rich collection of letters deserves its own reading, as do Shula Marks's bracketing essays. They are invaluable for clarifying the myriad ramifications that the letters raise for African women." --International Journal of African Historical Studies "... powerful and perceptive....speak s] eloquently to a Western audience that is poised to deal with the political and personal lives of South African women in an intimate holistic fashion." --Belles Lettres The roots of modern Apartheid are exposed through the painful and revealing correspondence of three very different South African women--two black and one "liberal" white--from 1949 to 1951. Although the letters speak for themselves, the editor has written an introduction and epilogue which tell of the tragic ending to this riveting story.
