In the Land of Shoes by Nancy Lund

Posted on May 16, 2012 by 1 | 0 Comments

It came to her when she was on her knees, frantically searching for two dollar bills – the only money in the house until Friday when she hoped her husband would be paid. All this fuss over two measly dollars. And that is what triggered the memory: “That shoe! I’m living in the land of the shoes.” The title of Nancy Lund’s memoir comes from the moment when she remembered herself at age six finding a strange object and being told it was a shoe “probably dropped off the rag-pickers wagon”. A sheltered child of an upper-middle class family, she had never seen a shoe that wasn’t polished, without a heel, laces or neat little buttons. She tried to imagine what kind of a creature could wear the flat, shapeless thing – maybe a tribe of one-footed people who flitted about in the sky. She never thought of it again until at the age of thirty-three, needing to buy milk for her kids, she realized that she herself was living in the land of the shoes. Real people lived in that world; they grew up, married, had kids, and their shoes got run down – if they were lucky enough to have any. "In the Land of the Shoes,” is a journey told with humor and honesty. Nancy gives us stories about her family, the unlikely beginnings of her very happy marriage to Dick Lund, the turmoil of the sixties, and her difficulty accepting the choices her kids made. Even more, it is the story of Nancy’s longing for a world free of discrimination, poverty and war. Full of ideals, she joined the Communist Party in 1941; but after almost twenty years (and hundreds of pages in the files of the FBI), she dropped out, disillusioned. Her search for alternate ways to use her ideals – and her considerable energy – led her to working in the mainstream, in the Democratic Party, women’s rights, the peace movement, and for the last thirty five years, in the small mountain town of Greenville, California, as an advocate for the elderly. Characterizing herself as a “card-carrying optimist,” Nancy continues at the age of 94 in unwavering dedication to equality, justice and peace.

Few stand by Victoria (Viji) Rangan as she is dubbed a terrorist and shunned by her community. Among the few is her aged pastor, torn between duty and affection. The poor man's cup soon overflows when his young assistant Brother John's fondness for the little "Tiger-kid" sweeps in further disaster. Brutal bloodshed, eerie apparitions and midnight marauders—the peaceful South Indian village of Salempur turns into an abode of fear and insecurity. But in her struggle for survival, Viji rediscovers the sure mercies of God—and a sure friend in Officer Raj.

Dan escapes, treats a minor wound, and returns to the property several hours later. He finds the house and garage empty. With the help of super-hacker Pearl the Girl, Dan gets a description of Weaver's vehicle and learns it left Oklahoma headed toward St. Louis. Dan tracks the van with the idea he will look for Brad and ask why Weaver tried to kill him.

The Kingdom Come-The Fight for America by Dr. Michelle A. Morrison

Posted on May 16, 2012 by 1 | 0 Comments

From the moment the Pilgrims set foot on our shores, Satan launched a full-scale onslaught for the very soul of America. But although pagan Enlightenment thinking infiltrated and rationalists tried to displace our Christian foundation, the Lord raised up revivalists to bring America and the world back to Himself.

The author presents compelling evidence in this book that America is a Christian nation, and that because of “trust in God,” this country became the number one world power. But sadly, many have tried to uproot our Christian heritage. As a result, God continues to withdraw His protection and blessings. The author offers biblical proof that only God can restore our economy. Power belongs to God. If we come back to God through fasting, prayer, and restoring Christian values, we will win.

After praying for months on the streets of NYC for revival, and warning New Yorkers to come back to God, the author first witnessed the Occupy Wall Street uprising and then later found her ministry negatively affected by a NY State court decision allowing the NYC Department of Education to ban churches from worshiping in public schools. These events confirmed to her the need for radical corporate prayer to win the (peaceful) spiritual war against Satan. Will you join her in this prayer and fasting movement to bring revolution and awakening to our nation?
