Muhammad, the World-Changer: An Intimate Portrait

Muhammad, the World-Changer: An Intimate Portrait

Mohamad Jebara

St. Martin's Essentials
2021
nidottu
"An accessible biography of Muhammad, Islam's founding prophet, tracing his development from orphan to political leader and providing insights into his personal life and tastes." --New York Times Book Review "A joyous read, presenting the Prophet Muhammad both as human and humane. Insightful, thoughtful and thought provoking " --Azar Nafisi, New York Times bestselling author of Reading Lolita in Tehran "A beautifully written, immaculately researched meditation on the impact of the Prophet Muhammad on the modern world. I loved this book " --Reza Aslan, author of No God but God and Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth A six-year-old cries in his mother's arms as she draws her last breaths to urge him: "Muhammad, be a world-changer " The boy, suddenly orphaned in a tribal society that fears any change, must overcome enormous obstacles to unleash his own potential and inspire others to do the same. Fusing details long known to Muslim scholars but inaccessible to popular audiences, Mohamad Jebara brings to life the gripping personal story of Islam's founding prophet. From his dramatic birth to nearly being abducted into slavery to escaping assassination, Muhammad emerges as an unrelenting man on a mission. Surrounding the protagonist are dynamic women who nurture Muhammad; Jewish and Christian mentors who inspire him; and the enslaved individuals he helps liberate who propel his movement. Jebara places Muhammad's life in a broader historical context, vividly evoking the Meccan society he was born into and arguing that his innovative vision helped shape our modern world.

Polo ...Game Changer is the third book in a trilogy of political novels by Chase Baldewyn. Written before Trump's campaign and election, the trilogy provides insight to how Donald Trump would be elected. The trilogy is based on ethnographic research on billionaire families in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The novel's protagonist, Rolf Lambert, a billionaire plutocrat like Trump, attempts to control the media to promote his revised business using polo while building a hidden power base to privatize government and create a globalocracy. Lambert manipulates journalist, Alicia Woodson, to promote his business, but at story's end Woodson is faced with the dilemma to either expose the truth or protect Lambert by lying, similar to dilemmas potentially faced by Trump's staff. Lambert's conflict with other billionaires leads to a polo game matching patriotism and fair play against Lambert's self-serving business interests and his desire to win at all costs using a game changing gimmick.

The Providence Factor: When God Shapes a World-Changer

The Providence Factor: When God Shapes a World-Changer

Every person needs to gain an understanding of the process in which God weaves differing textures and colors into the fabric of their lives. He allows unexpected circumstances and situations as a necessary part of their development. All they see and feel is the pain and discomfort associated with a particular test or trial. Yet, God has a plan. He knows what is ahead. He's shaping a world-changer. He knows who will emerge from the process and who will become the leader He destined for them to be. The process-like the weaving of a beautiful tapestry-permits only a limited view during the weaving process. The intended leader can only see the knots and junctures normally associated with the backside of a tapestry. God sees the finished product prior to its completion. He prepares the leader for the day in which they will see the beautiful masterpiece He has woven into their life.This book recounts events in the life of Joseph and how God used those events to develop him for the providential task of saving two nations.

Joel Chandler Harris (December 9, 1848 - July 3, 1908) was an American journalist, fiction writer, and folklorist best known for his collection of Uncle Remus stories. Harris was born in Eatonton, Georgia, where he served as an apprentice on a plantation during his teenage years. He spent the majority of his adult life in Atlanta working as an associate editor at the Atlanta Constitution. Harris led two professional lives: as the editor and journalist known as Joe Harris, he supported a vision of the New South with the editor Henry W. Grady (1880-1889), stressing regional and racial reconciliation after the Reconstruction era. As Joel Chandler Harris, fiction writer and folklorist, he wrote many 'Brer Rabbit' stories from the African-American oral tradition and helped to revolutionize literature in the process.Joel Chandler Harris was born in Eatonton, Georgia in 1848 to Mary Ann Harris, an Irish immigrant. His father, whose identity remains unknown, abandoned Mary Ann and the infant shortly after his birth. The parents had never married; the boy was named Joel after his mother's attending physician, Dr. Joel Branham. Chandler was the name of his mother's uncle.Harris remained self-conscious of his illegitimate birth throughout his life. A prominent physician, Dr. Andrew Reid, gave the Harris family a small cottage to use behind his mansion. Mary Harris worked as a seamstress and helped neighbors with their gardening to support herself and her son. She was an avid reader and instilled in her son a love of language: "My desire to write-to give expression to my thoughts-grew out of hearing my mother read The Vicar of Wakefield." Dr. Reid also paid for Harris' school tuition for several years. In 1856, Joe Harris briefly attended Kate Davidson's School for Boys and Girls, but transferred to Eatonton School for Boys later that year. He had an undistinguished academic record and a habit of truancy. Harris excelled in reading and writing, but was mostly known for his pranks, mischief, and sense of humor. Practical jokes helped Harris cloak his shyness and insecurities about his red hair, Irish ancestry, and illegitimacy, leading to both trouble and a reputation as a leader among the older boys. Oliver Herford (1863-1935) was an American writer, artist and illustrator who has been called "The American Oscar Wilde". citation needed] As a frequent contributor to The Mentor, Life, and Ladies' Home Journal, he sometimes signed his artwork as "O Herford". In 1906 he wrote and illustrated the Little Book of Bores. He also wrote short poems like "The Chimpanzee" and "The Hen", as well as writing and illustrating "The Rubaiyat of a Persian Kitten" (1904) and "Excuse It Please" (1930). His sister Beatrice Herford was also a humorist. Ethel Mumford and Addison Mizner wrote a small book The Cynic's Calendar of Revised Wisdom for 1903 as a Christmas present and added Herford's name as an author as a joke. The printer made up more copies to sell and to everyone's surprise it was an astounding success. When Herford found out about it he wanted 90% of the royalties. He was awarded an equal third.

Harris led two professional lives: as the editor and journalist known as Joe Harris, he supported a vision of the New South with the editor Henry W. Grady (1880-1889), stressing regional and racial reconciliation after the Reconstruction era. As Joel Chandler Harris, fiction writer and folklorist, he wrote many 'Brer Rabbit' stories from the African-American oral tradition and helped to revolutionize literature in the process.Harris created the first version of the Uncle Remus character for the Atlanta Constitution in 1876 after inheriting a column formerly written by Samuel W. Small, who had taken leave from the paper. In these character sketches, Remus would visit the newspaper office to discuss the social and racial issues of the day. By 1877 Small had returned to the Constitution and resumed his column. Harris did not intend to continue the Remus character. But when Small left the paper again, Harris reprised Remus. He realized the literary value of the stories he had heard from the slaves of Turnwold Plantation. Harris set out to record the stories and insisted that they be verified by two independent sources before he would publish them. He found the research more difficult given his professional duties, urban location, race and, eventually, fame. 13] On July 20, 1879, Harris published "The Story of Mr. Rabbit and Mr. Fox as Told by Uncle Remus" in the Atlanta Constitution. It was the first of 34 plantation fables that would be compiled in Uncle Remus: His Songs and His Sayings (1880). The stories, mostly collected directly from the African-American oral storytelling tradition, were revolutionary in their use of dialect, animal personages, and serialized landscapes.The Uncle Remus stories garnered critical acclaim and achieved popular success well into the 20th century. Harris published at least twenty-nine books, of which nine books were compiled of his published Uncle Remus stories, including Uncle Remus: His Songs and His Sayings (1880), Nights with Uncle Remus (1883), Uncle Remus and His Friends (1892), The Tar Baby and Other Rhymes of Uncle Remus (1904), Told by Uncle Remus: New Stories of the Old Plantation (1905), Uncle Remus and Brer Rabbit (1907). The last three books written by Joel Chandler Harris were published after his death which included Uncle Remus and the Little Boy (1910), Uncle Remus Returns (1918), and Seven Tales of Uncle Remus (1948). The tales, 185 in sum, became immensely popular among both black and white readers in the North and South. Few people outside of the South had heard accents like those spoken in the tales, and the dialect had never been legitimately and faithfully recorded in print. To Northern and international readers, the stories were a "revelation of the unknown."Mark Twain noted in 1883, "in the matter of writing the African-American dialect], he is the only master the country has produced.".. James Whitcomb Riley (October 7, 1849 - July 22, 1916) was an American writer, poet, and best-selling author. During his lifetime he was known as the "Hoosier Poet" and "Children's Poet" for his dialect works and his children's poetry respectively. His poems tended to be humorous or sentimental, and of the approximately one thousand poems that Riley authored, the majority are in dialect. His famous works include "Little Orphant Annie" and "The Raggedy Man".

Students preserved the story of a local veteran and learned that Leland Chandler suffered terribly during the war. He was born in a small Illinois farming town on January 3, 1923. World War II was calling his name and at age of 18, he enlisted in the army and sailed to the Philippine Islands. The military was sure the Japanese would be attacking soon because they were buzzing with activity. Leland's unit fought with all their might but was forced to surrender on May 6, 1942. It was a horrible scene for these men and women who stayed to defend this area. Even the brave nurses who stayed were brutally tortured by the Japanese. All prisoners were taken to Cabanatuan Camps in Manila by ship. There, they were forced to march through the streets so the Japanese would show the nationals how strong and powerful they were. Then, the prisoners were placed on ships going to Japan, which were so crowded that there was no room move. The Japanese stuffed the prisoners into these "hell ships" where it was difficult to move or breathe. Leland had a terrible experience in the Pacific and came home with many wounds on his body, his mind and his soul. At first he didn't think he could ever forgive the enemy for what they did to him and to others. He came to believe that it was better for him to let go of his awful thoughts and emotions. He learned to forgive.
