One of the most important slave narratives of all time, The Narrative of Sojourner Truth tells the story of an African-American woman who struggled against the bondages of slavery in the mid-1800s. With the strength of her spirituality, she overcame obstacles to become a leading abolitionist and champion of women's rights. Published originally in 1850 and later updated, The Narrative of Sojourner Truth was dictated by Sojourner Truth to her neighbor, Olive Gilbert.

Amazing first person account
Revisado: 05-06-23
First off, I want to say from an oral history perspective, this is an amazing account of life as a slave. Some of those stories are very hard. But the second thing I want to say is that this is about a woman of character and how she developed that character and a deep faith in God in the midst of terrible hardships. Amazing book.

Richard J. Foster teaches that six dimensions of faith and practice, which he calls "streams of living water", are what define Christian tradition: "Contemplative", or prayer-filled life; the life of "Holiness", or the virtuous life; the "Charismatic", or Spirit-empowered life; the life of "Social Justice", or the compassionate life; the "Evangelical", or word-centered life; and finally the "Incarnational", or sacramental life.

Streams of Living Water is read by the author, Richard Foster. He has an animated style that is easy to listen to. This book is a life changer. Through it you will see the many ways that God works in the many denominations around us. No more us and them, but how was God working and how can I learn from others who don’t think like me. He sees Christianity the way I think it probably is which as a diamond with many facets that reflect the light of God. If you are afraid this is an ecumenical book that might take you down the wrong road, do not fear. He tells the good and the bad of each of the six streams of Christianity. This book has invited me to look more closely at churches that I used to dismiss with a wave of the hand. And because Foster doesn’t pull any punches about what might be wrong with some of the streams, I feel like I can listen intently when he tells me what is right with them. He gives historic examples of each of the six streams which he says are
Contemplative
Holiness
Charismatic
Social justice
Evangelical, not to be confused with today’s political use of the term
Sacramental
This is definitely a book that should be on your shelf if you are a Christian in any of the streams.
