Condition: Good. A powerful and gripping memoir depicting the harsh realities of life in the favelas of Brazil in the 1950s, and one woman's resilience in the face of poverty, racism, and social inequality. Living in poverty in a Brazilian favela, or "slum," Carolina tried to scrape together a living by collecting recyclables. Among the trash, she found notebooks and papers that she salvaged to write on, and she used these found papers to craft novels, poetry, plays, letters to authorities--as well as her own journal.   In this stunning diary of perseverance in the face of adversity, violence, and starvation, Carolina Maria de Jesus offers a firsthand account of life in the streets of São Paulo that, upon its first publication over 50 years ago, drew international attention to the plight of the poor.   A unique historical account and a critical work in the canon of Afro-Brazilian literature, Child of the Dark offers an essential perspective on the realities and cruelties of life in a favela at the beginning of the "modernization" of the city of São Paulo. Its themes of struggles against marginalization, classism, and racism continue to resonate today.   Includes eight pages of photographs and an afterword by Robert M. Levine Translated from the Portuguese by David S. Clair.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. A gap is a place of weakness, vulnerability, and danger. It is a defenseless location of exposure and limitation, a point where people face real threats. Today, people face serious difficulties in their marriages, with their kids, in their communities, in the nation, and across the globe. Quite often, the situation seems hopeless. but it's not.In this book, Wilfredo De Jesus (known as Pastor Choco) gives nine examples of courageous people in the Scriptures--men and women who recognized the warning signs and trusted God to use them to make a difference. With clarity, power, and warmth, Pastor Choco points us to Jesus as the ultimate example and resource. As we taste the grace and greatness of God, our hearts will be transformed, and He will give us the courage to step into the gaps around us.And then, the world--our families, our communities, our nation, and the farthest corners of the globe--will experience God's grace and greatness, too.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. No one is beyond the transforming power of God's love. No one is too lost, too evil, too wounded, or too hopeless. In the pages of the New Testament, we see Jesus reaching out to touch the lives of pitiful prostitutes and arrogant, power-hungry leaders. We often talk about how God is amazing to us, and we sing songs like Amazing Grace. On several occasions, the gospel writers turn this around and mention that the faith of a few people amazed Jesus. But also, He was occasionally amazed by the lack of faith exhibited by people who should have been convinced He could do anything. A life of faith isn't easy. It requires everything we've got. If we put ourselves in God's hands without reservation, He gives us blessings far more valuable than all the wealth people pursue. Amazing Faith gives us insight and courage to give away things that seem so important to most people possessions, positions, and power but ultimately, they don't matter at all. When we surrender those things, God fills our hearts with His love, strength, and purpose, and we become complete.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Eleven-year-old Ada De Jess was on the cusp of her teens when she moved to the United States from Puerto Rico. Hurricane Hugo had just decimated the island and her father couldn't find a job. In Chicago, the white dress she arrived in didn't protect her from the snow and frigid temperatures! Constantly exposed to new things, she developed a resilience that served her well. From one place to another, like riding a bike, if you keep pedaling, you won't fall. Ada discovered that students in the United States were frequently disrespectful to their teachers. At school she often felt like a two-year-old as she grappled with a completely new language. In addition to navigating a different culture, she had to deal with all the issues familiar to teenage girls: the growth of body hair, pimples, menstruation and of course boys! Her memories of first intimate encounters, fending off unwanted advances and fear of pregnancy will strike a chord with readers. In these short vignettes recollecting her middle-school years, Ada De Jess shares her poignant and often funny experiences as a newcomer and an adolescent. Young readers will relate to and laugh at her experiences; some may take heart that they too will overcome the difficulties common at this age.…
