In the Hollow of Your Hand: Slave Lullabies
Slave lullabies, created from the African-American experience, were sung to give hope for a better time to come. Although these lullabies were born of hardship and overwhelming sadness, they can be thought of as musical stories for children and adults. By turns soothing, playful, empowering, and bittersweet, the songs convey the love of parents for children. Since childhood, Alice McGill has been collecting and singing these lullabies. Here they are preserved along with vibrant quilt collages and a CD recording of each song, introduced and sung by McGill. Her voice is rich and resonant, adding yet another dimension to these moving pieces of oral history. This beautiful package of lullabies, artwork, and personal history invites readers of all ages to sing along and remember the powerful words and melodies of a people struggling to survive..

In the Hollow of His Hand
Organized Christianity-many of its principles and doctrines "formulated.by pre-medieval minds, on pre-medieval knowledge"-is not suitable for the modern world, claims Ralph Waldo Trine. And so, he argues in this 1915 work, men and women are freeing themselves from the shackles of the Church, with its emphasis on fear and negativity, and looking for something more positive, something that has real value and can help them cope with the struggles and trials of everyday life. In In the Hollow of His Hand, Trine, one of the most influential thinkers in the early New Age philosopher of "New Thought," explains just how the Church got to be that way, and offers a guide for the reader looking for a more personal relationship with God. American mystic and bestselling author RALPH WALDO TRINE (1866-1958) wrote more than a dozen books, including The Higher Powers of Mind and Spirit (1917), The World's Balance Wheel (1917), In Tune with the Infinite (1897), and The Greatest Thing Ever Known (1898)..
