Go Stand Upon the Rock is a deeply moving story based on real people and events in the lives of a runaway slave and his family, who witness some of the most compelling moments in antebellum American history. It is a tale of unsettling plantation life, courageous women, dramatic Civil War battles, heroes and hoodoo, and the indomitable strength of the human spirit. This novel is based on the family history handed down to me by my maternal grandmother, Maud Ray Ridley Ortiga – the granddaughter of former runaway slaves. Fiercely proud of our ancestors, I spent countless hours at my grandmother's table, committing this history to memory as we poured over a trove of antique family photographs. I grew to love these forebears who died long before I was born, and I eventually became the family historian. This made me determined to achieve two lifelong goals. The first was to see that my ancestors no longer rested in unmarked graves. The second was to solve the mysteries of who we were, where we came from and how we came to be. After my ancestors escaped from slavery in the mid-1860s, no one in my family had ever returned to our places of origin -- in fact, no one even knew where they were. What began as a noble quest to uncover my roots became a cultural detective story, with only the names of the plantations and slave quarters serving as paltry clues. As I grew into adulthood, I discovered the remarkable accuracy of the age-old family tradition of oral history, and everything my beloved grandmother told me proved to be true. I added to this body of knowledge through historical and genealogical research at the National Archives, the U.S. Census, and countless books and websites, all of which enabled me to turn my love of family history into a doctoral dissertation at one of the most distinguished academic institutions in America -- the University of Pennsylvania -- where I earned a doctorate in Education, Culture, and Society in 2007. The story begins on the Bonnie Doon plantation in Southampton County, Virginia, where my ancestor Cornelius Ridley -- the mulatto son of his wealthy, slavemaster/father -- was born in 1839 – eight years after Nat Turner's Rebellion. But no rosy or revisionist retrospective on genteel plantation society, this book examines the historical events and complex social and sometimes biological relationships between masters and slaves. Go Stand Upon the Rock is a tapestry of interwoven stories of a remarkable family's journey through history that began with my great-great grandfather Cornelius Ridley's epic 300 mile walk to freedom in the North to escape from bondage on his putative father's plantation. It also follows his wife Martha Jane Parham, as she strives to escape her horrible fate as a breeding woman on the neighboring Fortsville Plantation. Learning what she endured made an indelible impact on me. Unlike her husband who was able to pass for white, they were forced to escape separately. And the story follows her perilous flight with two young children, to the safety of a company of U.S. Colored Troops, where she meets a young black soldier from Pennsylvania who is wounded during one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War – the Battle of New Market Heights – who has an unexpected role in her life half a century later. This first part of the Ridley family saga draws to a close with Cornelius and Martha Jane's brilliant son William – a pioneering African American law student – who miraculously survives a hail of bullets in the midst of a dangerous political dispute in Chester, Pennsylvania, that nearly ends his life and legal career captured in detail in local contemporary newspaper accounts just one month before his marriage to an elegant, mysterious clairvoyant woman from the Danish West Indies in October 1889.Telling the story of my ancestors is a debt I have longed owed them, because they are giants upon whose shoulders I stand today. And there is much more of their saga to tell.

Far from the tumult in Jerusalem, perched high up in the mountains of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked his disciples two very important question. Who do men say that I am? Who do you say that I am? The conversation ended that day with a declaration from the itinerant rabbi that He was going to build a Church upon a rock that would be so powerful that not even the gates of hell would be able to withstand it. Two thousand years later, the Church is coming under attack from every side imaginable and the term Christian is a four-letter word in many circles. This book serves to remind its readers that the Church Jesus promised Peter He was going to build is unstoppable and unbeatable. With the roar of the serpent crushing Lion of Judah, the Church will soon lay aside the remaining vestiges of Adams rebellion in the garden, and emerge from this sin cursed planet, unshackled, unbroken, and triumphant. Do you know the man that Peter correctly referred to as the Christ, the Son of the Living God? Have you placed your faith in the immovable Rock of the Bible or are you trusting in the shifting sands of an ever-changing culture? There is only one Rock big enough, strong enough, and secure enough to assure victory when the dust settles and the Lions roar is heard from the cobble stone streets of Jerusalem to the far-flung corners of the globe. Will you be able to stand?

Have you ever wondered about Old Testament scriptural passages and noticed they were too similar to events that later happened in the Life of Jesus? Perhaps you felt it was coincidental, a type of deja-vu? But there are no coincidences or deja-vu with God. The Almighty God who governs this universe with such precision is intentional about everything He does. Just think about it; God created time, space, mass and dimensions. He is outside them all and controls them all. Everything lines up perfectly with Him. When you look at Old Testament scripture, as we will together in this book, there were both; small details and large historic events in the life of the patriarchs and in the story of the Exodus that often reflected and prophesied the coming of Jesus Christ. This book is intended to help you spot these events and study them from a practical perspective. You will be encouraged when seeing how these prophetic parts of scripture were fulfilled in the first coming of the Messiah in such details. You will be as encouraged knowing that the prophetic scripture regarding the second coming of the Messiah will be fulfilled in equal detail. God orchestrated events in history and changed the projected courses of nations with often just simple events that seem insignificant. Like a brother trying to sooth his conscience with a suggestion to sell his brother into slavery rather than kill him! He truly is sovereign, "He sets up kings and deposes Kings..." Who or what can oppose Him or thwart His plans.

Coach. Entrepreneur. Mentor. Executive. Servant. Visionary. Everyone has a different idea of what a leader should be. How can any one person be everything? Scott Rodin brings unity and clarity to this confusing, demanding picture of leadership. He offers a comprehensive model that brings together a biblical understanding of holistic stewardship with the best in leadership studies. Whether in churches, not-for-profit ministries or in business the need for sound leadership is readily apparent. Drawing on his years of experience in development and fundraising and his extensive theological training, Scott Rodin offers a new paradigm--a transformational approach to leadership that is biblically sound, theologically rich and practically compelling.
