DOWNLOAD EBOOK →St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands formerly St. Jan, Danish West Indies Weeks passed and tensions mounted on St. Jan; and as more and more slaves escaped, one could hear more and more often the sounds of their drums, sending messages throughout the island in tongues meant only for African ears. And then one night the drums fell silent. The time had come. Rebellion was at hand. This is the story of daily life in 1733 on a tiny Caribbean Island only 24 square miles in area. The astonishing story of an isolated slave-sugar colony erupting in bloody rebellion and the inexorable destruction of the rebels is told by the author as he paints powerful portraits of the European and the African actors. He evokes a tangible sense of the land which he clearly knows so well. The slaves were the masters of communications within the islands. Their talking drums could even reach across the waters to St. Thomas. The slaves evaluated that the total Danish force against them was insufficient to hold them down. They did not know about the organized maritime power that could be transported from elsewhere to restore slavery. Freshly transported from Africa, they did not understand the system that had caught them up. When the rebellion failed most of the rebels killed themselves. No slave rebellion on a small Caribbean Island ever did succeed. The book is the timeless story of humanity in microcosm: a compelling picture of the evil and the good that men can do. The more powerfully so because it is a painstakingly, accurately detailed reconstruction of the real and true events. In 1935, John Lorenzo Anderson and his wife spent their honeymoon on the then almost inaccessible island of St. John. He heard fragments of the story of the slave rebellion. To say that he was intrigued is an understatement. He learned to read nine different languages all in 18th century handscript. He traveled widely in search of material which he found in several important collections of Danish or Danish West Indian documents such as the Danish Archives in Washington, D. C., the Moravian Church Archives in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the Bancroft Collection in Berkeley, California and the Royal Danish Library, Copenhagen, Denmark.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This mother's journey with her son through mental illness and the mental health system is not unlike the stories of millions of families and friends throughout our country who live with mental illness. In the midst of the pain, anger, and frustration that come with this disorder, there is too often a loneliness that draws a dark shroud over the family. And that loneliness, that darkness, can result in isolation from family and friends, a loss of hope, and a questioning of God. The author of His Drums Fell Silent, the Voices Still Speak wants you to know that you are not alone. She tells the story of her "all-American son," a passionate percussionist whose drums and dreams were silenced as he slid deeper and deeper into the darkness of mental illness. His story will touch your heart and speak to your pain. If you know a friend or family who may be struggling with mental illness, this account may give you the understanding and compassion you need to walk with them in a way which could bring some measure of comfort to them . . . to bring your love and God's love into their lives when they so desperately need it. A second story tells how God used the pain of the author and her son to serve others who are facing the same challenges. Because of listening to God's voice, Ladder Homes was founded to provide housing and support for adults with mental illness. Hear the voices of some of the residents, parents and friends as they speak of their pain and new hopes and dreams that life has brought them.
