On January 2, 1972, Mark Arax's childhood came to a sudden, explosive end when his father was shot to death at his nightclub in Fresno, California. It was one of the most sensational murders in California's heartland, and it was never solved. Mark, only fifteen years old at the time, was left with a legacy of questions: Were the rumors about his father true? Had he led a double life? Was he killed because of his dealings with the underworld? Mark Arax, an award-winning journalist at the Los Angeles Times, now writes a searing, intensely personal account of his twenty-two-year search for answers about his father's life and death, and his own identity. As the oldest child, Mark was thrust into the role of patriarch. His quest for answers began in high school, when he sought out his father's father, an Armenian immigrant. His grandfather opened a window into an old country world full of promise and heartbreak -- and four generations of eccentric family members. Two decades later, Mark uprooted his wife and baby and returned to Fresno under an assumed name to try and determine who killed his father and why. Fearing for his own life, he discovers his father was murdered just before he was going to make a startling disclosure. More than a true-life murder mystery, more than an exploration of family and culture, In My Father's Name is the poignant story of one man's remarkable journey as he uncovers long-hidden secrets about his father, his family, his heritage, and the town he once called home.

An African American studies scholar traces his family lineage to a Black Virginia neighborhood in the era of Reconstruction in this historical memoir. As an expectant father, Lawrence P. Jackson decides to go looking for his late grandfather’s home in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, an old house by the railroad tracks in Blairs. Armed with nothing but childhood memories, his journey evolves into a kind of detective story as he uncovers his ancestral history through the turmoil and torment of the 19th century South. After asking around in Pittsylvania County, Jackson finds himself in the house of distant relations. He becomes increasingly absorbed by the search for his ancestors and soon realizes how few generations an African American needs to map in order to arrive at slavery, the “door of no return.” Ultimately, Jackson’s dogged research leads him to his grandfather’s grandfather, a man who was born or sold into slavery but who, when Federal troops abandoned the South in 1877, was able to buy forty acres of land. In this intimate study of a black Virginia family and neighborhood, Jackson vividly reconstructs moments in the lives of his father’s grandfather, Edward Jackson, and great-grandfather, Granville Hundley, and gives life to revealing narratives of Pittsylvania County, recalling both the horror of slavery and the later struggles of postbellum freedom.

In John 17:6-24 the Lord Jesus prays for the believers to be built up into one. This oneness is in three stages: in the Father’s name by the eternal life (vv. 6-13); in the Triune God through sanctification by the holy word (vv. 14-21); and in the divine glory for the expression of the Triune God (vv. 22-24). In this booklet compiled from Life-study of John, Witness Lee considers the first of these three stages—oneness in the Father’s name.

Burton traces the evolution of Edgefield County from the antebellum period through Reconstruction and beyond. From amassed information on every household in this large rural community, he tests the many generalizations about southern black and white families of this period and finds that they were strikingly similar. Wealth, rather than race or class, was the main factor that influenced family structure, and the matriarchal family was but a myth.

You can tell a lot about a man by what others call him: father, husband, brother, leader. In the same way, you can learn much about God by understanding what He was called in the Old Testament "El Shaddai, Elohim, Adonai, El Gibbor, " and "Jehovak Melek" are just a few of the over 80 names that people in the Old Testament used to call upon God in different situations. In times of need or times of praise, they used specific names for God that focused on a certain characteristic of His, or on a promise that He made. Today, as we learn God's names and what they mean, we can begin to know Him more intimately. We discover what He wants for us, how He provides for our needs and learn new, deeper ways to approach Him in prayer. In "My Father's Names" you'll find out what the Old Testament names of God mean and how they can bring you closer to your Heavenly Father. Elmer L. Towns is vice president of Liberty University and dean of their School of Religion. He travels widely conducting conferences on Sunday School and church growth, and is teacher of the 2,000-member Pastor's Sunday School class at Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Virginia. He is the author of more than 40 books, including Ten of Today's Most Innovative Churches.
