Featured Article: Reading as a Subversive Act: Libraries as the Guide to Liberation

Frederick Douglass was born a slave in Maryland in the year 1818 (+1895). He wrote three accounts of his life. In each one he described how he learned to read and write. As a boy about the age of eleven, he was sent from one slave-holder on an extensive plantation on the eastern shore of Maryland to another slave holder and his wife in Baltimore.

Comment on Youth Articles in the forum

Throughout our lives, God constantly tries to move closer to us and let us know that we are loved. A reader of this article could see this as a movement of God. Jesus made a promise to his disciples, which also applies to us, that He will be with us always even until the end of the age. It is never a question of whether God loves us. It is a question of whether we will allow that love to penetrate our hearts. God's love makes us priceless. When it has all been said and done and we are preparing to meet our maker, what our society, our friends, or even our families told us that we should have possessed or should have been, won't matter. At that moment there will be two thoughts that will be haunting our minds: does God love me, and did I accept His love in my life?

If we have turned our backs on God for most of our lives, and we feel that we are too broken to return, God tells us that we are beautiful, honored, and that He loves us. Two thousand years ago Jesus gave everything that He had to show us that love, and He would do it again. The greatest love story ever told was not Romeo and Juliet, or Love and Basketball. The greatest love story every told is between God and the human soul. The things in this world point us to a greater reality. A friend once said that if we see a sunset and marvel at its beauty then we should get to know the artist.
