Summary Of Unconquered By J. D Davis
If you're familiar with the churches that dot the lush Louisiana back roads, you're familiar with Judgement Day. A silent, ceaseless reminder that we are always under God's watchful eye and will be called upon to answer for our wicked ways. There's no hiding place.

Unconquered, by J.D. Davis, is the story of three cousins from the Deep South: the Killer, the Preacher, and the Cowboy. The two Louisiana boys had a very public fall from grace. Most know the connection between Jerry Lee and Jimmy Swaggart (who famously preached the impending judgement and cried out for lost souls to repent). But there is a third, sometimes less talked about cousin, Mickey Giley. Giley is a country singer who opened the "world’s biggest honky-tonk” portrayed in

    Technology is controlling and changing our everyday lives. I strongly believe Gary Shteyngart in his article “Only Connect”; not only is the I-phone changing everybody lives, but any other smart phone that exists in today’s society. Shteyngart says “With each passing year, scientists estimate that I lose between 6 and 8 percent of my humanity, so that by the close of this decade you will be able to quantify my personality.” He is correct because every year technology changes and advance. Each year people personality decrease in how they act in their everyday life. Smart phones have everything you can possibly imagine. Society is becoming too comfortable and lazy because they have all the answer they need rite at the palm of their hands. Smart phones have become very addicting to the point that people are not realizing the damage it’s doing to them self.…

    James H. Sweet Summary

    A haunting narrative, James H. Sweet’s micro-history of the life and times of Domingos Álvares, African Healing, and the Intellectual History of the Atlantic World is a stellar work central to understanding African agency in the eighteenth-century from a bottom up perspective. Traditional historiographies mostly reflect the experiences of the white social and mobile elite consequently, a top down perspective. However, Sweet focuses on the view from below the elite, and chronicles the life of a native African male slave, Domingos Álavrez, between the tumultuous years of 1730 and 1750 consequently, revealing the impact and influences African culture imprinted on the Atlantic world and the America’s.…

    Emilie Davis was an African-American woman residing in the city of Philadelphia during the U.S Civil War. Still living with her family, Emilie worked as a seamstress while she attended the Institute of Colored Youth. Although she did not differ too much from the other free black women in her community, one thing that made Davis different was her diary. Emily kept a diary from the years of 1863 to 1865, and because of her entries, we today can get the closest thing to a firsthand experience of the events that took place in not only in Philadelphia but around the world during the Civil War. Of course, as we all know, the Civil War was most certainly not roses and rainbows. There were many ups and…

    Whether or not there is a doomed afterlife in which is called “hell”, everybody has their own perception of what their “hell” would be like. Rather your view of hell is eternal detonation or a place consisting of deathly flames and Satan’s head down in a bucket of ice, most people do not wish to be summoned into the depths of hell. However; Jonathon Edward’s sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” portrays briefly the vivid imagery of how hell was represented during the Second Great Awakening. In addition, Edwards aim was to teach his listeners about the horror of hell. Thus, Edwards’s dramatic interpretation of hell frightened the people who followed by God’s word and urges those who don’t to call upon Christ to receive forgiveness.…

    When we pray as Christ taught us we find ourselves saying, “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” When the will of God is obeyed, the kingdom, the reign of God is made present. It is easier to say this than it is to enact it. Every time I sin I put the kingdom of God away from me: but God’s will cannot be thwarted. It is up to me to remain within God’s kingdom, for if the gates close while I am without I will find myself in the eternal darkness where there is wailing and gnashing of teeth. And as Christ warns us, “But of that day and hour no one knows.” (Mt…

    The Rapture for the church is a type of ark, as it was for Noah’s family. Jesus used the harsh comparison of Noah’s day to reveal the attitudes that would exist near the end time, "but as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be," Matthew 24:37-39 NJKV. This statement by Jesus reveals history and prophecy laboring together, and the meaning is very clear. The same carefree and skeptical attitudes of anything disastrous about to happen will be common on the Earth again before His…

    “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” is a sermon given by Johnathan Edwards, a preacher and a theologian. Published in 1741, Edwards’ sermon is one of most defining pieces of literature during the First Great Awakening in the United States. The Day of Doom is a poem written by Michael Wigglesworth, a Puritan minister. The poem became wildly popular in Puritan New England when it was published in 1662. Both texts discuss the themes of divine judgement and punishment. Edwards’ sermon illustrates that it is God’s will that keeps evil men from being sent down to hell. Wigglesworth describes the Day of Judgement in which God will decide who will be saved who will be sent to hell. These pieces of religious literature both describe a harsh God who has ultimate judgement and no mercy when it comes to punishment.…
