This work describes an approach to the development of community-based health education and patient advocacy programmes targeted at disease prevention and management. Partnerships between health systems and religious congregations, the authors show, can be remarkably successful at bringing appropriate care to people who are often difficult to serve. Describing programmes based on a six-year collaboration between health care systems and religious organizations in Florida, the book offers guidance for religious and medical leaders interested in developing similar programmes in their congregations and communities.
In every person there’s a little man called “Will” and that little guy has more power than most folks realize, biblically will is defined as desire. “And Jesus answering said unto them, have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when you pray, believe that ye receive them. (Mark 11:22-24) So then man has the ability to change his circumstances, by his desires. If we look back at the history of mankind we can clearly see that progress and technology is the desire “Will” of man. People have accomplished impossible feats because they willed to succeed, but with progress and technology we see the will being weakened, because we can depend upon other things other than ourselves. We drink to build up our courage to face each other, then once we depend on the drink to get us through, we say the drink is the demon that has taken control of me, I’m in it’s grasp and unable to free myself, this illness has overtaken me and I’m doomed. We choose a lifestyle and claim it’s to much to bare; society loving a cause, jump in to help, and before anybody realize it we’ve created an industry or crisis. We take a hard look at the Black Americans who forged ahead in a time when oppression was legal, and a popular thing to do. It is amazing at their accomplishments and attitudes during this time, how they were focused on survival and prosperity in the face of adversity. If anybody had a reason to complain, it was them. Now looking back on their suffering, some seek ways to avoid their responsibility as a contributing part of society. If history were to be observed one would see that slavery was not unique to the Black Man, and that there were periods in history where slavery was as common as employment is today, and life moves on. We need to understand that the Government is the wrong place to look for moral and individual help, again history shows the Government was established for the running of the Country and the security of same. if you spend 15 to 20 million dollars for a job, my being drunk or out of work is not to important in the big picture. Street gangs have been allowed to roam the streets and cause fear and destruction, there is no real reason for them; Good people have to rise up and put a stop to them, what ever the cost. We the people have basically given over the Country to mal-contents, they’ve changed rules, our speech and way of life, thus lowing the standards of the nation.
An extensive work, this is based on original records, mainly of the Congregational and Episcopal churches of the period 1651-1800. About 30,000 marriages are recorded, arranged by town and thereunder by church, and they give the full names of the brides and grooms, and the marriage dates. Each of the seven volumes is indexed.
The author is at a place where many fear and don’t want to go, but in order to know and prepare for what may be coming, it requires awareness without fear. He speaks about those early white scholars who have historically used misinformed evil theories with no scientific evidence but only bias, misguided, and subjective opinions. What pursued was centuries of death, murder, and violence against the people of the world, and since then, religion would no longer be the cornerstone of American civilization. He takes the nations historical path to bring attention to the uncontrolled effects of violence in our society and confronts the origins of Christianity and delves into the beginning of its development by a violent empire and not far from the death of Jesus. These evil men created a belief system bent on world domination and control using religion, violence, scriptures, and the cross. He reveals the dawning days of Christian faith in the world and the obvious loss of morality in the western American society today at the apex of this Christian wickedness.
Both born in 1942, William Drennen and Kojo Jones grew up a mile from each other in Charleston, West Virginia, each witnessing a separate side of the racial politics of segregation and desegregation in the Appalachian state.

In its expanded third edition, this definitive work on Classics Illustrated explores the enduring series of comic-book adaptations of literary masterpieces in even greater depth, with twice the number of color plates as in the second edition. Drawing on interviews, correspondence, fanzines, and archival research, the book covers in full detail the work of the artists, editors, scriptwriters, and publishers who contributed to the success of the "World's Finest Juvenile Publication." Many previously unpublished reproductions of original art are included, along with new chapters covering editor Meyer Kaplan, art director L.B. Cole, and artist John Parker; additional information on contributions from Black artists and scriptwriters such as Matt Baker, Ezra Jackson, George D. Lipscomb, and Lorenz Graham; and a complete issue-by-issue listing of significant international series.
Throughout its existence, Princeton has been a community at a unique three-way intersection connecting the heart of the Allegheny Mountain range with the fertile Valley of the Virginias to the east and the Cumberland Gap to the west. In 1837, the Virginia General Assembly formed Mercer County, named in memory of Revolutionary War general Hugh Mercer; at the same time, the countys seat was named in honor of the Battle of Princeton, New Jersey, the 1777 battle in which General Mercer died. Twenty-five years after the countys formation, retreating Confederate soldiers burned the homes of the town of Princeton to the ground. The coming of the Virginian Railroad in the first decade of the 20th century and the construction of the West Virginia Turnpike 40 years later transformed Princeton from a remote rural outpost into a vibrant center of commerce and ultimately led to the evolution of Princeton into a true crossroads for the region.
A significant expansion of the critically acclaimed first edition, Classics Illustrated: A Cultural History, 2d ed., carries the story of the Kanter family's series of comics-style adaptations of literary masterpieces from 1941 into the 21st century. This book features additional material on the 70-year history of Classics Illustrated and the careers and contributions of such artists as Alex A. Blum, Lou Cameron, George Evans, Henry C. Kiefer, Gray Morrow, Rudolph Palais, and Louis Zansky. New chapters cover the recent Jack Lake and Papercutz revivals of the series, the evolution of Classics collecting, and the unsung role of William Kanter in advancing the fortunes of his father Albert's worldwide enterprise. Enhancing the lively account of the growth of "the World's Finest Juvenile Publication" are new interviews and correspondence with editor Helene Lecar, publicist Eleanor Lidofsky, artist Mort Kunstler, and the founder's grandson John "Buzz" Kanter. Detailed appendices provide artist attributions, issue contents and, for the principal Classics Illustrated-related series, a listing of each printing identified by month, year, and highest reorder number. New U.S., Canadian and British series have been added. More than 300 illustrations--most of them new to this edition--include photographs of artists and production staff, comic-book covers and interiors, and a substantial number of original cover paintings and line drawings.
This history of the 11th North Carolina Infantry in the Civil War-- civilian soldiers and their families--follows the regiment from their 1861 mustering-in to their surrender at Appomattox, covering action at Gettysburg, Bristoe Station, The Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor and Petersburg. Drawing on letters, journals, memoirs, official reports, personnel records and family histories, this intensely personal account features Tar Heels relating their experiences through over 1,500 quoted passages. Casualty lists give the names of those killed, wounded, captured in action and died of disease. Rosters list regimental officers and staff, enlistees for all 10 companies and the names of the 78 men who stacked arms on April 9, 1865.
A stronghold of Scotch-Irish settlement, Augusta County commands great interest among genealogists because thousands of 18th- and 19th-century families passed through it en route to the West. J. Lewis Peyton's History of Augusta County, Virginia is the standard work on the county. It is essentially a narrative account of Augusta from its aboriginal beginnings and Spotswood's discovery of the Valley of Virginia through the Civil War. Genealogists will value the book, in part, as a companion volume to such Augusta County source record collections as Lyman Chalkley's Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia. Of greater importance to genealogists, however, are the genealogical and biographical sketches of a number pioneering Augusta County families found in the Appendix to the volume.
