When he learns that his pregnant wife has been spirited off to a distant city, William responds as any man might—he drops everything to pursue her. But as a fugitive slave in Antebellum America, he must run a terrifying gauntlet, eluding the many who would re-enslave him while learning to trust the few who dare to aid him on his quest. Among those hunting William is Morrison, a Scot who as a young man fled the miseries of his homeland only to discover even more brutal realities in the New World. Bearing many scars, including the loss of his beloved brother, Morrison tracks William for reasons of his own, a personal agenda rooted in tragic events that have haunted him for decades. Following up on his award-winning debut, Gabriel’s Story, David Anthony Durham presents another riveting tale, a brilliantly drawn portrait of America before the Civil War, and a provocative meditation on racial identity, freedom and equality.

Working with demons can be powerful, but you need to understand how to use that power to wield it effectively. Unlocking the power of the 72 demons of the Goetia will allow your magickal work to be infused with power - you can have access to knowledge, make significant changes in yourself, influence others, and change the world around you. This book combines working with the traditional 72 demons of the Goetia (in the Lesser Key of Solomon) in a demonolatry tradition and pathworking techniques. In western esoteric traditions, pathworking is employed to explore the concepts and teachings found in the Tree of Life. Using this technique, this book will teach you a way to connect with these demons in your magickal practice. This book will teach you the opening rituals as well as the pathworking "keys" to unlock the pathways to the 72 Goetic demons. The ritual is simple and can be done completely within your mind, only adding physical trappings if you wish. Each demon is detailed in a modern interpretation to help you choose the best one to assist in your magickal endeavors. The book also includes tables of traditional titles, enns, elements, etc. for each of the 72. A unique pathwork is presented for each demon, and a sigil drawn by the author accompanies the simple, but rich text.

They left in the middle of the night—often carrying little more than the knowledge to follow the North Star. Between 1830 and the end of the Civil War in 1865, an estimated one hundred thousand slaves became passengers on the Underground Railroad, a journey of untold hardship, in search of freedom. In Through Darkness to Light: Photographs Along the Underground Railroad, Jeanine Michna-Bales presents a remarkable series of images following a route from the cotton plantations of central Louisiana, through the cypress swamps of Mississippi and the plains of Indiana, north to the Canadian border— a path of nearly fourteen hundred miles. The culmination of a ten-year research quest, Through Darkness to Light imagines a journey along the Underground Railroad as it might have appeared to any freedom seeker. Framing the powerful visual narrative is an introduction by Michna-Bales; a foreword by noted politician, pastor, and civil rights activist Andrew J. Young; and essays by Fergus M. Bordewich, Robert F. Darden, and Eric R. Jackson.

A Walk Through Darkness was inspired by healing through channeling the hurt, the disbelief, the emotional pain, the release, the hope, and the coming to terms with finding within oneself the determination to pick up the pieces when life knocks you down, whether that be from someone or something. We can embrace the pain, process it, and pick up the pieces for a new day, a new beginning. Even if we’re losing hope, it comes back around.

A pastor's wife's shattering yet ultimately hopeful story of her husband's death by suicide, her journey to understand mental illness, and the light she found in the darkness. On August 25, 2018, Kayla Stoecklein lost her husband, Andrew--megachurch pastor of Inland Hills Church in Chino, California--to suicide. In the wake of the tragedy, she embarked on a brave journey to better understand his harrowing battle with mental illness and, ultimately, to overcome the stigma of suicide. Fear Gone Wild is her intimate account of all that led to that tragic day, including her husband's panic attacks and debilitating bouts of anxiety and depression. Despite their deep faith in God and the countless prayers of many believers, Andrew was never healed of his illness. Turning to Scripture for answers, she discovered that God uses wilderness experiences to prepare His children--including Jesus--for his greater purpose and to work miracles inside our souls. With a clear-eyed acknowledgment of how misguided and misinformed she was about mental illness, Kayla Stoecklein shares her story in hopes that anyone walking through the wilderness of mental illness will be better equipped for the journey and will learn to put their hope in Jesus through it all.
