Narrative Of The Life Of...

Frederick Douglass

The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass was written in 1845, seven years after Douglass escaped slavery, and is the first of three autobiographies. It covers his life as a slave, enduring the whips of the overseers and the hopelessness of his circumstances, until his escape to the north and arrival at New Bedford, Massachusetts. The brutalities he witnessed and his slowly growing desire for freedom are presented in the vivid language he was already known for in his antislavery oration. The eloquence of Douglass's speeches caused some skeptics to doubt his credibility, believing that a former slave with no education could never speak so well. Thus, part of his motivation for writing the book was to dispel this suspicion and to provide a fuller history than was possible in his lectures. The abolitionists William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips provided introductions vouching for the truth of Douglass's words. The book was an immediate best seller. The fame brought danger to Douglass, who sailed for England shortly after the book's publication to ensure he would not be apprehended as a fugitive slave. He spent two years touring and lecturing in Great Britain and Ireland before returning to America to continue his abolitionist work. English supporters raised funds to purchase his freedom from his former master. The slave narrative is an autobiographical genre written by escaped slaves concerning their lives in bondage. Slave narratives not only promoted abolitionism by giving first hand evidence of the cruelty and hypocrisy of slaveholders, but also allowed African Americans to express themselves as intelligent, articulate individuals, deserving of respect and freedom. Douglass's Narrative is perhaps the most important example of the genre, on the basis of its literary merits and its impact on the abolitionist movement.

It's a Miracle! - A Traveller's...

John Murfitt

The Bible includes history, poetry, and instructions for relationships, living and worship. It contains all that God wants us to know about him, ourselves, and salvation. There are some things that the Bible is: a book of love, justice, wisdom and common sense, and some things it isn't: a book of science or a book with answers to every problem. Among other things, the Bible teaches us about the establishment of the Kingdom of God, and tells us that God loves each one of us and encourages us to love him. It brings to the reader fear, fact, and faith.

We read in the Bible of many remarkable things about which we can only say, 'It's a miracle!'

I trust that this book, introducing to you a few Biblical miracles, will encourage you to open and examine the Bible's pages to see what happened, and why God chose to act in the ways he did and see what you can learn from its teaching and the example of people in it. It may even turn your life upside down, as it constantly does mine.
