A wise and compassionate guide to caring for a critically ill child.

Fifty-two meditations on Psalm 27 instruct and encourage believers to worship God through the ups and downs of life. Psalm 27 is a psalm of trouble and worship, of difficulty and beauty, of the evil of people against people, and of the mercy of God. Because of its honesty about life in this fallen world, Psalm 27 speaks into the life of every believer. At the same time it places joyful and self-sacrificing worship right next to the trouble that is the psalm's background theme. This juxtaposition makes Psalm 27 unique, interesting, practical, challenging, and encouraging. A Shelter in the Time of Storm takes readers through this roller-coaster-ride of a psalm in fifty-two brief and engaging meditations. These meditations are designed to fill hearts with a patient hope that grows stronger as the trouble-spotted days go by. Reflection questions at the end of the chapter make these meditations thought-provoking and practical.

2020 Museum of African American History Stone Book Award 2020 Lillian Smith Book Award Finalist, 2020 Pauli Murray Book Prize For generations, historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have been essential institutions for the African American community. Their nurturing environments not only provided educational advancement but also catalyzed the Black freedom struggle, forever altering the political destiny of the United States. In this book, Jelani M. Favors offers a history of HBCUs from the 1837 founding of Cheyney State University to the present, told through the lens of how they fostered student activism. Favors chronicles the development and significance of HBCUs through stories from institutions such as Cheyney State University, Tougaloo College, Bennett College, Alabama State University, Jackson State University, Southern University, and North Carolina A&T. He demonstrates how HBCUs became a refuge during the oppression of the Jim Crow era and illustrates the central role their campus communities played during the civil rights and Black Power movements. Throughout this definitive history of how HBCUs became a vital seedbed for politicians, community leaders, reformers, and activists, Favors emphasizes what he calls an unwritten "second curriculum" at HBCUs, one that offered students a grounding in idealism, racial consciousness, and cultural nationalism.

Spring, 1944: Maria Herzog is a thirteen-year-old German girl living in Ukraine and praying for the end of World War II. On March 19th, Maria, her father, mother (eight months pregnant), and three younger brothers are put on a small horse-drawn wagon and sent west, along with thousands of other ethnic Germans "liberated" by the retreating Nazi army. Over the next three years, Maria carries her new baby brother in her arms as she trudges alongside the too-small wagon through Romania and Poland, helps her mother protect and feed her four brothers even while she herself must be safe-guarded from soldiers of various armies, survives countless nights in a Berlin air raid shelter, works on a farm in what will become East Germany and, along with her mother and four brothers, is finally reunited with her ex-p.o.w father in what will become West Germany. Multiple, repeated efforts over five years result in Maria and her family coming to the United States, where she can finally leave behind the life of a refugee across half a dozen countries and become an American citizen. She marries a good man and has the opportunity to raise her own children and grandchildren in the peace and freedom denied to her for the fi rst twenty years of life. This is the first-person narrative of Maria Herzog McKeirnan, now 86 years old, and the story of thousands of others like her who survived a communist regime and German occupation in Ukraine, a harrowing 1,500 mile trek through war-ravaged Europe, and countless dangers, as she and her family found various temporary shelters in the midst of the raging storms that were her daily experience of life. Her story is a tribute to the importance of hope and to the resilience of the human spirit in the midst of violence and the seemingly inevitable destruction of civilization. Anyone who is interested in the power of family and its role in human survival will find this story to be interesting, inspiring and restorative.
