Being the son of counter-culture author William S. Burroughs is bound to be a trial. After all, the man who frequented lesbian dives and had a fascination with firearms couldn't possibly make that great of a father. Perhaps inevitably, William Jr. (called Billy) referred to himself as "cursed from birth" and in the book of the same name editor David Ohle collects parts of Billy's third and unfinished novel Prakriti Junction, his last journals and poems, and correspondence and conversations to recreate this tortured life. Endowed with the sufferings — but not the patience — of Job, Billy's life was often characterized by tragedy and frustration, although there were also pockets of success and levity. More than just the memoir of a casualty of the Beat Generation, Cursed From Birth provides rare insight in Billy's father, as well as his scene, friends, and times. It also provides an all-too-familiar story of familial difficulties that anyone with difficult parents can understand and appreciate.

Under the Law of Moses, every firstborn son was predestined to receive the full inheritance and blessing from his father. The purpose of this book is to examine the Scriptures that explain why the firstborn son rarely received the father's inheritance and blessing. Our human birth is our first birth and when we are born again, it is our spiritual birth or second birth. We are born in the flesh, and then we are born again spiritually. Our first birth is cursed because we are all "shapen in iniquity; and (born) in sin" (Psalm 51:5) and because of this, we cannot receive the blessing of Father God. It is when our second birth occurs, that we are made in the image and likeness of God and have God's nature; this qualifies us for the full inheritance and blessing of God. Curse of the Firstborn will walk you from the Garden of Eden to Calvary, revealing how God's blessing was never given to the firstborn son because he represents the flesh. God's blessing was always given to the youngest son because he represents the Spirit.

In Labor with Hope, Gloria Furman helps women see topics such as pregnancy, infertility, miscarriage, birth pain, and new life in the framework of the larger biblical narrative, infusing cosmic meaning into their personal experience by exploring how they point to eternal realities.

9 Sisters CURSED Since Birth is about Lilith Darkmore, who was a single mother struggling to raise 9 kids in the hard knock life of New York. She practically had no one to turn to because her husband consistently deceived, depressed, devalued, and then deserted her. Her sisters were resentful, and her brothers were barbaric; however, the most hurtful part of it all was that she didnt have a father, and her mother Vivian despised everything about her. She didnt give Lilith that motherly love, them motherly kisses, nor did she hold her hands through all those dark places. The bottom line is that Vivian faltered and failed as a parent. For those reasons, Lilith didnt have the fuel that empowered her to do the impossible because she was nave, vulnerable, and lost in this cruel world, until she found God. But when she became so caught up in her religious life, she didnt realize that her kids were feeling less important. They had no father, barely had a mother, and they were very disturbed about being the unfortunate kids on the block; therefore, they all begin to gradually change. The 9 girls unstable life had triggered the inherited evil blood that was flowing within them, which had a huge impact on their behavior. Thats when the family begin to unravel because the 7 deadly sins had taken control over their souls. Anger conquered them all because they were bitter about the lives they were given; For that reason, Greed defeated them since they desired what they never had and would do anything to get what they wanted. Some of their weaknesses was Slothfulness, for they didnt work hard towards progression due to their persistent ignorance and disadvantages. Yet, Envy played a huge role towards the sisters who made achievements, but in this family, Pride wont let them acknowledge ones accomplishments; instead, Gluttony caused some of them to Lust over and try to destroy what the other sister have because they wanted to feel loved and equally important. These Challenges stand strong in the Daevas family, and the only way to subjugate their sins relies strictly within themselves. So, can their curse be reversed?

How old is prejudice against black people? Were the racist attitudes that fueled the Atlantic slave trade firmly in place 700 years before the European discovery of sub-Saharan Africa? In this groundbreaking book, David Goldenberg seeks to discover how dark-skinned peoples, especially black Africans, were portrayed in the Bible and by those who interpreted the Bible--Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Unprecedented in rigor and breadth, his investigation covers a 1,500-year period, from ancient Israel (around 800 B.C.E.) to the eighth century C.E., after the birth of Islam. By tracing the development of anti-Black sentiment during this time, Goldenberg uncovers views about race, color, and slavery that took shape over the centuries--most centrally, the belief that the biblical Ham and his descendants, the black Africans, had been cursed by God with eternal slavery. Goldenberg begins by examining a host of references to black Africans in biblical and postbiblical Jewish literature. From there he moves the inquiry from Black as an ethnic group to black as color, and early Jewish attitudes toward dark skin color. He goes on to ask when the black African first became identified as slave in the Near East, and, in a powerful culmination, discusses the resounding influence of this identification on Jewish, Christian, and Islamic thinking, noting each tradition's exegetical treatment of pertinent biblical passages. Authoritative, fluidly written, and situated at a richly illuminating nexus of images, attitudes, and history, The Curse of Ham is sure to have a profound and lasting impact on the perennial debate over the roots of racism and slavery, and on the study of early Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
