Written by: Angelique Watkins
Shirley Caesar, An Autobiography: "The Lady, The Melody, & The WORD"
(ISBN 0-7852-7155-4 http://www.thomasnelson.com and http://www.nelsonword.com)
Shirley Caesar understood growing up in poverty,losing a parent(major bread winner) at an early age, having a semi-invalid mother, living in a world of predjuice but she knew how to hold on to the Lord Jesus Christ. This book is very inspiring and I would recommend it to families who are struggling, those who have lost a parent, women, mothers and choir attendants. Your local church could consider starting/or adding books to their library for those to check out and this would be one that I would recommend. Quoted from "Shirley Caesar Autobiography" In 1984, Shirley traveled to the Middle East and on a tour the cab driver warned I wouldn't talk about Jesus in Jerusalem, because He Was a troublemaker. "Miracle Worker" Shirley Caesar tried to sing power and holy instead of singing "Jesus" but the Holy Spirit told her, "If you're ashamed to own Me before these people in Israel, then I'll be ashamed to own you before my Father in heaven." Shirley, threw her head back and began to s-h-o-u-t the name of Jesus and she'll never forget the thrill of hearing thousands of Jews call the name of Jesus. Their are scriptures to brighten your days and heavy loads.
The Gospel of Luke according to The Holy Bible included much emphasis on women. The w-o-m-a-n and w-o-m-e-n occur thirty times in Luke and in Matthew and Mark occure twenty-five times.
If you visit Matthew 1:3, 5 you will see an inclusion of women; my understanding is that Jesus is the all wise Saviour and He is available for men, women and all.
When C. H. Spurgeon said, "The proper study of a Christian is the Godhead. The highest science, the loftiest speculation, the mightiest philosophy, which can ever engage the attention of a child of God, is the name, the nature, the person, the work, the doings, and the existence of the Great God."
Pray for all women, children worldwide...pray for ALL
Taking Care of The Father's Business First...Luke 15:1-7, Mark 2:1-3:6
