Beloved

Staring unflinchingly into the abyss of slavery, this spellbinding New York Times bestseller transforms history into a story as powerful as Exodus and as intimate as a lullaby. Sethe, its protagonist, was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years later she is still not free. She has too many memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened. And Sethe’s new home is haunted by the ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved. Filled with bitter poetry and suspense as taut as a rope, Beloved is a towering achievement.

Accepted in the Beloved

Are you struggling with fully accepting that God loves you? If you or someone you know has suffered abuse, you are not alone. Abuse of women is a global problem. One out of every four Christian women suffers from physical, emotional, spiritual, economic, or sexual abuse. Women who have suffered abuse often find it difficult to experience God's love. Accepted in the Beloved is a Bible study that will help and encourage women who desire to know and experience God's love and acceptance, and will help equip pastors or pastoral caregivers to support and assist survivors of abuse. The six-lesson journey through Accepted in the Beloved will encourage healing, growth, and transformation. Each lesson includes three different sections: Learning God's Truth, to enlighten the mind through a study of the truths in God's word and to accurately illuminate the character of our loving Creator; Experiencing God, to encourage a deeper experience of God's presence through contemplative exercises that develop heart knowledge of God's truth and foster spiritual transformation; and Sharing God's Love, to encourage women to reach out beyond themselves as they apply what they have learned from the study to their lives and relationships. With an encouraging tone and transformative content, Accepted in the Beloved will help women find healing and wholeness in the love of the crucified Lord.

Sisters Beloved

Sisters Beloved is about seven women who are faced with opposition, obstacles, and uncertainty as women in the ministry, a field primarily dominated by men. Women not accepted by their male counterparts yet faced with unholy propositions and ultimatums in order to perform ministry. They were in a man’s world but wouldn’t give anything for their ministries as long as they had God. Seven women who, by chance, formed a sisterhood, they were wounded and needed healing, so they came together to heal themselves. They broke their silence, sharing their stories and showing each other love, guidance, support, and encouragement in a nonjudgmental manner throughout their ministry. They knew they were called and held to their convictions and their calling. They did not have the favor of man, but they had the favor of God. They kept their focus with only faith and perseverance, moving themselves forward and achieving against the odds. Their bonding creates an everlasting friendship and trust with one another. As confidantes they created an atmosphere where they opened up with each other, let their guards down, talked freely, and discussed their experiences while resolving issues that they encountered as women. The connection, respect, and trust the women have for each other allow them to flourish, to be accepted, to have confidence, and to become well respected in their ministry.

Blood of the Beloved

Will it ever be possible to stop war, or is war an intractable problem? Combining the disciplines of history, psychiatry and neurology, the author probes this question in the tradition of C.P. Snow. Archeologists of the future reveal how purity is tied to violence, the existence of shame societies and guilt societies, bloody sacrificial rituals and why many women support war. Horrified by the death toll, the suicide bombers and the use of diabolic weapons of our times, they discuss how our society eventually abandoned war.

Cry the Beloved Country

An Oprah Book Club selection, Cry, the Beloved Country, the most famous and important novel in South Africa’s history, was an immediate worldwide bestseller in 1948. Alan Paton’s impassioned novel about a black man’s country under white man’s law is a work of searing beauty. Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be too moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much. The eminent literary critic Lewis Gannett wrote, “We have had many novels from statesmen and reformers, almost all bad; many novels from poets, almost all thin. In Alan Paton’s Cry, the Beloved Country the statesman, the poet and the novelist meet in a unique harmony.” Cry, the Beloved Country is the deeply moving story of the Zulu pastor Stephen Kumalo and his son, Absalom, set against the background of a land and a people riven by racial injustice. Remarkable for its lyricism, unforgettable for character and incident, Cry, the Beloved Country is a classic work of love and hope, courage and endurance, born of the dignity of man.
