Moving away from the casual ethos of the rest of the book, the Stylish Bites chapter is aimed at festive occasions. You’ll find Fried Sweet-Potato Ravioli, Caramelized Onion and Bacon Dip, and Pull-Apart Lobster Rolls. Recipes in the Starters and Small Plates chapters are slightly more elaborate and require a bit more work. Think Broiled Feta, Seasoned Potato Chips, and Roasted Spiced Chickpeas. The Snacks chapter focuses on “crunchy, salty, tasty nibbles for casual get-togethers.” Most require minimal prep and many can be thrown together with pantry staples. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments My bondage![]() ![]() My Bondage and My Freedom is basically a continuation of the Narrative. It is true that in the later part of his life, Douglass was more concerned with racial pride and seemed eager to suggest that his black heritage alone contributed to his success. Such inconsistencies have led scholars to argue that Douglass modified his autobiographies in order to suit changing politics. Yet in the Narrative (1845), Douglass strongly implies that a white man, perhaps his master, was his father. For example, in the last version (1881), Douglass denies having any knowledge of who his father was. Recent historical scholarship has focused attention on the minor discrepancies in the three versions. However, the Narrative is more often taught in classes today than the other two books. Both of these autobiographies are much longer than the Narrative and provide more of Douglass' views about racism and civil rights in the South, as well as in the North. Frederick Douglass wrote two more memoirs about his life: My Bondage and My Freedom (1855) and Life and Times of Frederick Douglass (1881). ![]() ![]() ![]() Inserra goes so far as to say, “‘Do you want to go to heaven when you die?’” is the wrong question to ask (p. The issue is a lack of faith in Christ for the salvation He promises, not a lack of commitment, obedience, and perseverance. The Bible, by contrast, identifies the unsaved Christian as a person who identifies himself as a Christian both verbally and by going to church and yet who has never believed in Jesus for everlasting life that cannot be lost (cf. If one bases his assurance on his lifestyle, then he is looking to himself and not to Christ alone for his salvation. That opens the door for an inability to be sure of one’s eternal destiny. Inserra does not discuss how well one must follow Christ to be saved. ![]() The cultural Christian, the unregenerate church goer, admires Jesus but does not follow Him faithfully. He differentiates between those who admire Jesus and those who are following Him (pp. The born-again person is self-sacrificing, obedient, and is continually surrendering and submitting to Christ (pp. Inserra identifies unsaved Christians by their failure to live holy lives. However, there is a major difference in how he and I identify Evangelicals who are unregenerate. ![]() I have often said and written that most Evangelicals need evangelizing.

The second thing was how much traditional Egyptian middle-class life in the 1920s and 30s as depicted in the book reminded me of Irish culture up until relatively recently. ![]() Two main things struck me while I read Sugar Street: firstly that while I don't know Arabic, I got a strong sense of the elegant economy and poetry of the written language from this translation. While in the other books the patriarch of the family is the central character, this book focused on the younger family members, particularly the bookish son Kamal and his two nephews, whose very different paths in life represent distinct political trends in early 20th-century Egyptian life. ![]() I haven't read the other books in the trilogy so I was starting backwards with this one, but there wasn't any need to have read the others to enjoy Sugar Street. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But when Cryda loses her way on the moor, it's Herla who assists her. ![]() Orphaned and raised in a monastery on the edge of Dumnonia, eighteen-year-old Cryda spends what she believes to be her last days in study – until the night Ine of Wessex slays the king and lays waste to her home.ĭesperate to escape, she flees west.
