SO, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?  Sometimes life isn't fair, but we expect it to be. Why else would we be so angry and hurt when it isn't? We wonder:  * If God is a God of love, why is there so much suffering in the world?  * Can any meaning be found in pain, loss and suffering? * Why do the wicked seem to prosper?  * Why does life have to hurt so much?  * Isn't there an easier way to grow?  * Why do terrible things seem to happen to nice people?   Written in a highly readable and thought-provoking style, Joel A. Freeman encourages readers to seek a greater understanding of their feelings of loss and grief through personal reflection. He also prompts discussion about their expectations of themselves, others and God.  "God Is Not Fair" is not filled with glib answers, which serve only to drive honest strugglers into deeper disillusionment. Drawing on his years of experience in counseling people through their grief and suffering, Dr. Joel Freeman provides a framework upon which can be found true, lasting peace and security.   Endorsed by the likes of Joni Eareckson Tada, Billy Graham and others, "God Is Not Fair" presents helpful insight, poignant stories and touches of humor in revealing a biblical perspective on these questions.   Dr. Paul Meier states, "As a Christian psychiatrist, I have counseled literally hundreds of men, women, and children who have been bitterly angry at God for being unfair. The basic reason is always the same: God, in His sovereignty, either allowed or caused something to happen to these people that they would not have allowed if they were in God's position. The angry at God for not letting them be in absolute control. This attitude stems from the basic sin of arrogance and pride. In this book, Joel Freeman does an excellent job of gently knocking the wind out of our arrogant, 'God isn't fair' sails. His personal vulnerability helps us to understand that we aren't unique in having these thoughts, and he gives us an uplifting glimpse of God's overall plan, showing us that our limited understanding insufficiently qualifies us for determining what is fair or unfair."  Viewed as a valuable resource by therapists, hospice providers, bereavement counselors, prison chaplains, clergy and professional counselors, this book will invite readers to embark upon a remarkable, life-changing journey.

You have heard of Oprah Winfrey? Sure, who hasn't? How about Madam C.J. Walker? No brainer. Heads nodding up and down.  How about Annie Malone? For the most part blank stares. Crickets chirping. Never heard of her. Yet, before Madam Walker, Rosa Parks, Mary McLeod Bethune, Oprah Winfrey or Cathy Hughes there was Annie Turnbo Malone (1869-1957), a remarkable woman who made her mark during the early 20th century -- recorded as America's first black female millionaire based on reports of $14 million in assets held in 1920 from her beauty and cosmetic enterprises, headquartered in St. Louis and Chicago.  Annie Malone was one of the first people in Missouri to own a Rolls Royce. Against all odds, by the early 1900s Annie had hired and trained some "Poro Agents" who went door-to-door marketing her hair care and beauty supplies. The name Poro came from a "West African term for a devotional society, reflecting her concern for the welfare and the roots of the women she served," according to a 2007 Harvard Business School case study.  One of those Poro selling agents was Sarah Breedlove (later known as Madam C.J. Walker), who had moved from rural Louisiana to St. Louis about 15 years earlier. There is no doubt that Malone had influenced Walker's life on a number of levels.Learn about an almost-forgotten segment of history from this image-rich museum-quality reproduction (52 pages, 8.75" x 5.75") of the rare 1926 booklet from Poro College (original copy owned by The Freeman Institute Black History Collection).
