That's Rufus

A Memoir of Tar Heel Politics, Watergate and Public Life

By: Rufus L. Edmisten

A farm boy from the mountains of North Carolina, Rufus Edmisten could not have been prepared for the halls of power in Washington, D.C., during the Vietnam War era, as young men burned their draft cards and pro-cannabis factions held "smoke-ins" in the capital. A University of North Carolina Chapel Hill graduate, he earned a law degree at George Washington University and landed a job as counsel to U.S. senator Samuel J. Ervin, Jr. This led to Edmisten's appointment as Deputy Chief Counsel for the Senate Watergate Committee--he personally served Richard Nixon the first ever subpoena of a sitting president by Congress. Returning to North Carolina, he served as Attorney General and Secretary of State before retiring from public life to practice law and participate in charitable activities. Written with humor and candor, his memoir recalls the cultural contrasts of American life in the 1970s and 1980s, and affirms that the business of government is to enable us to live together peacefully.

Diary of a Christian Soldier

Rufus Kinsley and the Civil War

By: Rufus Kinsley,David C. Rankin

This book offers a meticulous reconstruction of the life of Rufus Kinsley - an ordinary New England soldier who during the Civil War became an officer in one of the nations's first and most famous black regiments - and an expertly edited transcription of Kinsley's hitherto unpublished wartime diary. Kinsley's diary sheds light on a long neglected theater of the war - the battle for the bayou country of southwestern Louisiana - and it illuminates the workaday routines of black and white soldiers stationed behind Union lines but thoroughly immersed in the unprecedented improvisations that accompanied the social revolution that was emancipation. Kinsley's perspective is that of a too often neglected type: the absolutely dedicated evangelical abolitionist soldier who believed that the war and its consequences were divine retribution for the sin of slavery. The introductory biography places Kinsley's civil war experience in the context of his life and his times.

How To Conduct Discipleship Training

Transforming Christians with Prior Drug and Alcohol Dependence

By: Rufus McDowell, D. Min.

Leadership Training In Discipleship: For Christians With Prior Drug and Alcohol Dependence This book is resultant of my Doctor of Ministry Research Project providing a means for leaders and teachers to learn dynamics to disciple Christians that had prior drug or alcohol dependence. Before implementation of this dissertation, I discovered that there was not a definitive manual to train individuals to facilitate or conduct discipleship programming exclusive and conducive to this group. This book is not only meant to be academic; the intent is to offer concise information and instruction to aid ministers, pastors, church laity, and others delivering drug and alcohol rehabilitative pastoral care. Further, usage will aid participants in traditional church, institution, chaplaincy, prison, workplace, and other faith-based settings. Fundamentally, this book insinuates spiritual, social, and emotional suggestions for anyone desiring development in both personal and spiritual formation. In addition, this book will equip you with biblical principles and modalities to teach holistically. These standpoints entail examination of a biblical philosophy of discipleship centered on the Great Commission and Great Commandment in developing a comprehensive strategy involving a theological and practical study and teaching approach. Throughout this study, a small group format is emphasized for training and evaluation giving particular attention to Christ's model of discipleship with regards to facilitating and coaching. This book will aid in revealing that the culture of the church consists of a unique group of Christians, some whom have abused drugs or alcohol, served time in prison, and misunderstood in church ministries.
