  This collection of daily contemplative devotions inspires and lifts the spirit -- a brief daily encounter walking and resting in the arms of the Father.
  
  A calming tranquil gem, this small book offers a single Scripture upon which to meditate each day, and words of infinite wisdom and love that seem to flow from the Father's heart.
  Talking and listening. Speaking and hearing. These are the fundamental prerequisites for conversation.
  
  Yet with most of us, our relation with our heavenly Father consists mostly of our speaking.
  
  Our oldest traditions, however, tell us that we are invited to hear as well as to speak.
  
  "If any one hears my voice, and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me...
  
  He who has an ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." (Revelation 3:20b, 22)
  
  From the "Introduction," Echoes of Eternity: Listening to the Father Volume 1
  
  In Echoes of Eternity Volume I, Chaplain Hal Helms provides a maturity in his words as he offers perspective on each daily Bible Verse. These brief meditations were gathered by his wife from his faithful daily devotional practice. They have the power to fuel your own quiet moments.  Helms has a tender manner of redirecting us back to our path of following Jesus.

  A Groundbreaking Portrait of African American Christianity 
   
   
   
  The history of African American Christianity is one of the determined faith of a people driven to pursue spiritual and social uplift for themselves and others to God's glory. Yet stories of faithful Black Christians have often been forgotten or minimized. The dynamic witness of the Black church in the United States is an essential part of Christian history that must be heard and dependably retold. 
   
   
   
  In this groundbreaking two-volume work, Walter R. Strickland II does just that through a theological-intellectual history highlighting the ways theology has formed and motivated Black Christianity across the centuries. Through his original research he has identified five theological anchors grounding African Americans in Christian orthodoxy: Big God, Jesus, Conversion and walking in the Spirit, The Good Book, and Deliverance. 
   
   
   
  In volume 1, a narrative history, Strickland tells the story of these themes from the 1600s to the present. He explores the crucial ecclesiastical, social, and theological developments, including the rise of Black evangelicalism as well as broader contributions to politics and culture.

  The Bible Told Them So - How...

  Why did southern white evangelical Christians resist the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s? Simply put, they believed the Bible told them so. These white Christians entered the battle certain that God was on their side. Ultimately, the civil rights movement triumphed in the 1960s and fundamentally transformed American society. But this victory did little to change southern white evangelicals' theological commitment to segregation. Rather than abandoning their segregationist theology, white evangelicals turned their focus on institutions they still controlled and fought on. 
   
   
   
  Focusing on the case of South Carolina, The Bible Told Them So shows how, despite suffering defeat in the public sphere, white evangelicals continued to battle for their own institutions, preaching and practicing a segregationist Christianity they continued to believe reflected God's will. Increasingly caught in the tension between their sincere belief that God desired segregation and their reluctance to give voice to such ideas for fear of being perceived as bigoted or intolerant, by the late 1960s southern white evangelicals embraced the rhetoric of colorblindness and protection of the family as measures to maintain both segregation and respectable social standing. This strategy set southern white evangelicals on an alternative path for race relations in the decades ahead.
