Excerpt from Traits of Character: Illustrated in Bible Light Together With Short Sketches of Marked and Marred Manhood and Womanhood Truth is much more forcibly impressed upon the mind when accompanied by illustration, either in inci dent, anecdote, example Or in a drawing or picture. Where the mere statement of truth in the abstract may fail Of results, the illustration comes to the aid Of truth and impresses and fixes the thought upon the mind. In the following pages we have attempted to combine the two ideas. While the picture impresses the truth in one way, the printed page by example, figure or anecdote adds power Of retention and increases the amount Of truth Conveyed. We lay claim to no originality Of thought further than the manner Of arrangement and the method Of conveying the truth to the mind. Realizing the inspiration that noble deeds give to many a life and the advantage gained in noting the causes Of failure, we have added short. And striking biographies Of prominent men and women.

In To Make Negro Literature Elizabeth McHenry traces African American authorship in the decade following the 1896 legalization of segregation. She shifts critical focus from the published texts of acclaimed writers to unfamiliar practitioners whose works reflect the unsettledness of African American letters in this period. Analyzing literary projects that were unpublished, unsuccessful, or only partially achieved, McHenry recovers a hidden genealogy of Black literature as having emerged tentatively, laboriously, and unevenly. She locates this history in books sold by subscription, in lists and bibliographies of African American authors and books assembled at the turn of the century, in the act of ghostwriting, and in manuscripts submitted to publishers for consideration and the letters of introduction that accompanied them. By attending to these sites and prioritizing overlooked archives, McHenry reveals a radically different literary landscape, revising concepts of Black authorship and offering a fresh account of the development of “Negro literature” focused on the never published, the barely read, and the unconventional.

Human beings were created to reflect the image of God—but only to a limited extent. Although we share important attributes with God (love, mercy, compassion, etc.), there are other qualities that only God possesses, such as unlimited power, knowledge, and authority. At the root of all sin is our rebellious desire to be like God in such ways—a desire that first manifested itself in the garden of Eden. In None Like Him, Jen Wilkin leads us on a journey to discover ten ways God is different from us—and why that’s a good thing. In the process, she highlights the joy of seeing our limited selves in relation to a limitless God, and how such a realization frees us from striving to be more than we were created to be.
