The Emancipation Of Robert Sadler

Powerful True Story of a Twentieth-Century Plantation Slave Over fifty years after the Emancipation Proclamation, Robert Sadler was sold into slavery at the age of five--by his own father. This is the no-holds-barred tale of those dark days, his quest for freedom, and the determination to serve others born out of his experience. It is a story of good triumphing over evil, of God's grace, and of an extraordinary life of ministry. An updated edition of a classic title.

I, Letticia ChiChi Maggiordino, will put to GOOD use the power of the Evil Eye... ChiChi Maggiordino will do anything to get God's attention. She will hold her breath, stand on tiptoe for an hour, walk a mile backward, climb all stairs on her knees... anything. When her grandmother teaches her how to use the Evil Eye, telling her it's how Jesus Christ made his miracles and how the Italians got rid of Mussolini, ChiChi realizes it's what her prayers have been missing. Now she can get started on the business of making her mother happier by helping her find love, and healing her brother's weak lungs. But ChiChi's family lives in Minneapolis, and it's the 1950s. For an Italian immigrant family, sometimes it seems like nothing can make life easier. ChiChi's mother still pines for her husband, a long-dead American soldier; ChiChi's brother is disdainful of her sacrifices and penance-he doesn't understand what his older sister already knows, that sometimes God needs to be bribed. When her grandmother passes away, ChiChi steps up her search for meaning and happiness, but it seems to be fruitless. And she struggles, the way so many women do, because her love for her family is suffocating, even while it fulfills her. It's not until she meets two Italian dwarves, and they teach her of the ancient clown tradition, the commedia dell'arte, that she comes to understand that in order to make everyone else happy, she herself must be happy. But first she must find her own way in the world... and learn to accept that not even the power of the Evil Eye can keep people from changing.

There really are angels all around us. They are given to us by God for very specific purposes. Most of us lead lives far too noisy to be aware of the "ministering spirits," but they are here...among us. The more we know, the more we can recognize their presence and cooperate with them as they do the Father's will on our behalf. You will find the answers to these and many more questions: How well do you know the angels that God sends to you to reveal His love and power? Do you have a personal guardian angel? Are you earth-bound and soul-stuck? How can you partner with angels? Why does God want us to recognize the angels He sends to us? Angels in Our Lives will inspire and encourage you to know that you are never alone. Ever! Through clear biblical truth and tender but powerful personal experiences, you will enter the interactive realm of angels where you will gain faith, courage, victory, wisdom, and strength.
