CHILD OF GOD
|
Author:Lolita Files
There's no sweeter stench than the scent of a burning baby. Grace raced across the yard, her steps hastened by the cries upon the wind. "Somebody help me," she cried. "My grandbaby's trapped inside the house." She grabbed a large branch and began to beat against a window. It broke away and released a menacing gust of fire that licked the edges of her hair and sent her reeling backward in a choking fit. The anguished cries from inside the house escaped through the broken pane, hanging upon the wind.

One of life's greatest tragedies," says Jakes, "is to arrive at the end of your journey and realize you could have done more, laughed harder, played more intensely, and lived more vivaciously if only you had taken the day by the throat and steered it the way you wanted it to go, if only you had made a conscious decision about what you wanted to do." Now Jakes helps us make the conscious decisions that will allow us to maximize the moments of our lives.

STANDING ON HOLY GROUND

A Triumph over Hate Crime in the Deep South
Author:Sandra Johnson
A sweeping epidemic of hate crime targeted over one hundred Southern Black Churches between 1995 and 1996, leaving them in charred ruins. St. John Baptist Church in Dixiana, South Carolina, was one of the first destroyed. This small, isolated church had faced dark times before. It had been viciously desecrated in 1985 and withstood more attacks until it was burned down in August 1995. From the beginning, two friends�a white woman named Ammie Murray, and a black woman named Barbara Simmons�rallied volunteers to rebuild the historic St. John. Much to their amazement, hundreds of people from diverse racial and cultural backgrounds responded to their call for help. They refused to stop rebuilding the church-despite repeated attempts on Ammie and Barbara's lives and relentless attacks on the church. Soon, these two heroic women joined the leaders and congregations from two other burned, black churches-Macedonia Baptist and Mt. Zion AME-in leading the nation in a courageous battle against hate crime in the deep South.
