A vivid and disquieting narrative of Jesuit slaveholding and its historical relationship with Jesuit universities in the United States The Society of Jesus, commonly known as the Jesuits, is renowned for the quality of the order’s impact on higher education. Less well known, however, is the relationship between Jesuit higher education and slavery. For more than two hundred years, Jesuit colleges and seminaries in the United States supported themselves on the labor of the enslaved. “Let Us Go Free” tells the complex stories of the free and enslaved people associated with these Catholic institutions. Walker Gollar shows that, in spite of their Catholic faith, Jesuits were in most respects very typical slaveholders. At times, they may have been concerned with the spiritual and physical well-being of the enslaved, but mostly they were concerned with the finances of their plantations and farms. Gollar traces the legacies of the Jesuits’ participation in the slaveholding economy, portrays the experiences of those enslaved by the Jesuits, and shares the Jesuits’ attempts to come to terms with their history. Deeply based on original research in Jesuit archives, “Let Us Go Free” provides a vivid and disquieting narrative of Jesuit slaveholding for the general reader interested in the historical relationship between slavery and universities in the United States.

All men born by women have one battle or the other. We are all bound by Satan from the creation and we all need to be loosed and only Yeshua HaMashiach can truly loose man and loose man indeed. All other freedom which is not from God will end up in hell. Many of us have life but not life in abundant, many of us are free but not free indeed. The Bible says you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. There are things and truth you need to know to be free indeed and those things will be found in this book.

This charming devotional book takes readers on an inward journey to the miracle of Christ's birth in the little town of Bethlehem. Many who will read this book probably haven't actually traveled to Bethlehem. "But that is of little consequence to the adventure of arriving there, to the adventure of discovery that awaits the mystery and wonder in the birth of Jesus," Todd Outcalt writes. The devotions are both personal and challenging. "I hope readers can discover something new that they may have overlooked in the old, old story," says Outcalt. It's important to stay alert on the pilgrimage to Bethlehem, Outcalt reminds readers, for they may encounter Jesus in unexpected moments and surprising people or when they are most tired or confused. "The way to Bethlehem is saturated with stops and starts, with both darkness and light, with angels and the common touch of shepherds," writes Outcalt. Let Us Go Now to Bethlehem contains devotions for the 28 days of Advent, the 12 days of Christmas, and the day of Epiphany. For small-group leaders, the book includes a 6-week study guide with weekly questions for reflection and conversation, a suggested scripture passage for each week, and an invitation to ponder the happenings of that week. As the Gospel of Luke attests, Let Us Go Now to Bethlehem is both an expectant declaration filled with mystery and a declaration of faith. Each day can offer these same expectations and wonders for readers if they open themselves to awe and joy.

By His Love, God has given us a Better Covenant In this Covenant, our Dreams will be realized, our Hopes fulfilled, and our Vision of Life satisfied through the Indwelling of a New Source of Life, God Himself. Under the old, we were tired and weary, we were condemned! But under this New Covenant, We are set Free to move by the Power of His Life. Under this New and Better Way, He has built Strengths in us that enable us to obey His Commandments and therefore receive His Blessings. He has given to us a storehouse in Christ! Come let us go up to the House of the Lord! Peter Lovett has been a Believer in Christ for over 30 years. He has experienced many church environments throughout his lifetime and has been trained in Bible School and other Ministerial Training. He has faced many trials and tribulations, himself and he has found that through it all, the strength to survive and thrive, comes from the indwelling Presence of God. God has shown His faithfulness over and over in so many surprising ways. God always has a plan that is larger and ore encompassing than ours. He knows how to turn things to the good and turn sorrow into Joy! Surely to know the Scripture, has been Peter's heart desire, to know the depth of God's Word, but the greatest Joy he has had, is to know the Person of the Word and that is God Himself. This is where Life is found.

How is it that the person who created and defined the field of Black Studies and drafted Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s prophetic Beyond Vietnam speech needs an introduction, even in movement circles today? In this provocative and poignant interview, Dr. Vincent Harding reflects on the communities that shaped his early life, compelled him to join movements for justice, and sustained his ongoing transformation. He challenges those committed to justice today to consider the enduring power of nonviolent social change and to root out white supremacy in all of its forms. With his relentless commitment to education and relationship-building across lines of difference, Harding never doubted the capacity of people to create the world we need.
