William Still Pořadí knih (chronologicky)

    William Still se narodil do otroctví, ale podařilo se mu dosáhnout svobody a stal se klíčovou postavou v boji proti němu. Sám si osvojil čtení a psaní, což mu umožnilo stát se sekretářem a později předsedou Pensylvánské aboliční společnosti. Jeho houževnatost a odhodlání byly hnacím motorem jeho práce při pomoci stovkám uprchlých otroků na Podzemní dráze. Využíval svůj domov jako útočiště a pečlivě vedl záznamy o těch, kterým pomohl, což později vyústilo v publikaci jeho děl. Jeho celoživotní odkaz zahrnuje nejen tento zásadní příspěvek k abolicionistickému hnutí, ale také založení sirotčince a pomoc při organizaci první YMCA pro Afroameričany.

      The Christian s greatest target is to glorify God and to enjoy glorifying Him. The path to this target of enjoying God is described as striving towards spiritual maturity. William Still describes that path through the three results of the death of Jesus - the removal of sins from the believer, the mastery of sin and the defeat of satan, the motive power behind that sin. Living in the shadow of the Cross is living in victory, a victory which means peace with God and hope for eternity.
