The Journey from Hell

By: Coy Roper

[Type here] The Journey From Hell In 1877, two old friends, former members of Quantrell’s Raiders, meet again at a bank in Hell, a town in far west Texas. One is there to rob the bank, the other—the town’s sheriff—foils the robbery. In the pursuit that follows, the robber saves the sheriff after his horse falls, and the two of them become friends again. They decide to head west and find a place where they can live in peace. On their way, they pick up others who need to find a sanctuary—a six-foot-six widowed preacher and his twelve-year-old daughter from Indiana, a twenty-one-year-old black musician/physician’s assistant from Boston who has come west to seek his fortune, a twenty-year-old Mexican girl who grew up as a cowhand on a ranch in Colorado, a six-month-old baby named Peter, and a Jersey cow named Pansy! On their journey they experience adventures (and misadventures) with Indians and outlaws and others. Finally, they arrive at the town where they will settle—New Canaan, in New Mexico territory. Problems remain, but a final gunfight with the Hank Dandy gang gives them rest—and romance—at the end of their journey from Hell. 2

The Devil's Art

Divination and Discipline in Early Modern Germany

By: Jason P. Coy

In early modern Germany, soothsayers known as wise women and men roamed the countryside. Fixtures of village life, they identified thieves and witches, read palms, and cast horoscopes. German villagers regularly consulted these fortune-tellers and practiced divination in their everyday lives. Jason Phillip Coy brings their enchanted world to life by examining theological discourse alongside archival records of prosecution for popular divination in Thuringia, a diverse region in central Germany divided into a patchwork of princely territories, imperial cities, small towns, and rural villages. Popular divination faced centuries of elite condemnation, as the Lutheran clergy attempted to suppress these practices in the wake of the Reformation and learned elites sought to eradicate them during the Enlightenment. As Coy finds, both of these reform efforts failed, and divination remained a prominent feature of rural life in Thuringia until well into the nineteenth century. The century after 1550 saw intense confessional conflict accompanied by widespread censure and disciplinary measures, with prominent Lutheran theologians and demonologists preaching that divination was a demonic threat to the Christian community and that soothsayers deserved the death penalty. Rulers, however, refused to treat divination as a capital crime, and the populace continued to embrace it alongside official Christianity in troubled times. The Devil’s Art highlights the limits of Reformation-era disciplinary efforts and demonstrates the extent to which reformers’ efforts to inculcate new cultural norms relied upon the support of secular authorities and the acquiescence of parishioners. Negotiation, accommodation, and local resistance blunted official reform efforts and ensured that occult activities persisted and even flourished in Germany into the modern era, surviving Reformation-era preaching and Enlightenment-era ridicule alike.

Justin Smith Morrill

Father of the Land-Grant Colleges

By: Coy F. Cross II,Coy F Cross

Smith Morrill: Almost every land-grant college or university in the United States has a building named for him; but are his contributions truly recognized and understood? Here is the first biography on this renowned statesman in six decades. Representative and then senator from Vermont, Morrill began his tenure in Congress in 1855 and served continuously for forty-three years. His thirty- one years in the upper chamber alone earned him the title "Father of the Senate." Coy F. Cross reveals a complex and influential political figure who, as chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, and then the Senate Finance Committee, influenced American economic policy for nearly fifty years. Morrill's most-recognized achievements are the pieces of legislation that bear his name: the Morrill land-grant college acts of 1862 and 1890. His legacy, inspired by the Jeffersonian ideal of an educated electorate, revolutionized American higher education. Prior to this legislation, colleges and universities were open primarily to affluent white men and studies were limited largely to medicine, theology, and philosophy. Morrill's land-grant acts eventually opened American higher education to the working class, women, minorities, and immigrants. Since 1862, more than 20 million people have graduated from the 104 land-grant colleges and universities spawned by his grand vision. In this long-overdue study, Cross shows the "Father of Land-Grant Colleges" to be one of America's formative nineteenth- century political figures.

The Knauff Family: from Germany to Indiana

including information on the Kuhn Family and the Deeds Family

By: Geraldine J. Khauff Coy

This book began as a labor of love for my children. I grew up within 15 miles of most of my great-grandparents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. I saw all of them frequently and knew them well. I listened to the adults tell of letters they received from family members who lived from one coast to the other. Many of them I never met, but I knew them through their own words. Sometimes one or another would visit, but I really knew more about them and their families from hearing their letters. Fortunately, some of the letters were kept so I have read them again in recent years.

The Dhance

A Caregiver's Search for Meaning

By: Coy F. Cross II, Ph.D

In his newest book, The Dhance: A Caregiver’s Search for Meaning, Coy F. Cross speaks and writes about his journey into transformation as he learns how God is “also in the worst of our life’s experiences”. For more than 20 years he planned to write a book highlighting his friend Reverend Carol Ruth Knox’s spiritual teaching. She opened his eyes to concepts he had never before considered. In 2009 his wife, also named Carol, was diagnosed with cancer and now Coy needed all of Rev. Knox’s lessons to help him deal with this crisis and also be present and available to his wife in a meaningful way while he was in the ‘trenches with the disease’. This excruciating time was ‘my graduate course on deepening my relationship with the Divine. It wasn’t the path I had expected or wanted, but through the journey, I transformed.’ This book is a record and teachings based on his journey, his transformation.

San Anselmo

By: Judy Coy,The San Anselmo Historical Society

San Anselmo has been a crossroads if not a center of activity from the days when the Coast Miwok inhabited the valley and fished the fresh waters of the creek. Red Hill, a town landmark, was the meeting point of three 1840s Mexican land grants. The rancho days had come to an end by 1875, when the North Pacific Coast Railroad completed its line, with its tracks branching east and west at San Anselmo. Railroad officials encouraged real estate activity, but it was not until the San Francisco Theological Seminary was completed in 1892 that the town began to grow. Incorporation followed in 1907, after refugees from the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire built permanent homes. The population grew in the years following World War II, but San Anselmo has remained a small, family town.

Dreamality

By: Bob Coy

Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, many of us let go of our dreams. We stop trusting that anything will be different. We stop hoping that anything could get better. We stop expecting life to be full of excitement, anticipation, joy, fun, and hope. Optimism is replaced by anger, frustration, and bitterness. But it doesn't have to be that way. Bob Coy, senior pastor of the seventeen thousand-member Calvary Chapel of Fort Lauderdale, believes that hope can be revived and we can rekindle in our heart the expectation of something more. Using the biblical story of Joseph as a running analogy, Coy looks to God as our dream-deliverer as well as the source of our dreams. He asserts that, as we come to understand God's heart toward us and the bigger picture of our lives, we can reclaim and live out our dreams.

Not All so Tall Tales

By: Martin C. Coy

How would you react if you were a young boy who had lost friends when he and his family were transferred to another town to work and live? Or did you ever have people in your life who seemed to think they could do things better than everyone else? Maybe youve wondered what would happen if you could go back in time to rectify a mistake you think youve made. Or perhaps youve thought about why life keeps putting roadblocks in your way to being rewarded for what you know you have done. For some of us, it seems that finding the right soul mate will never happen; for others, solving problems in life situations is a calling. Human behavior and its consequence is a dynamic that we all experience in our individual ways. If youve ever heard it said that we are what we experience, then Not All So Tall Tales will provide you with some food for thought.

Contesting Patriotism

Culture, Power, and Strategy in the Peace Movement

By: Lynne M. Woehrle,Patrick G. Coy,Gregory M. Maney

During war, space for debate shrinks. Narrow ideas of patriotism and democracy marginalize and silence opposition to militarism abroad and repression at home. Although powerful, these ideas encounter widespread resistance. Analyzing the official statements of 15 organizations from 1990-2005, the authors show that the U.S. peace movement strongly contested taken-for-granted assumptions regarding nationalism, religion, security, and global justice. Contesting Patriotism engages cutting-edge theories in social movements research to understand the ways that activists promote peace through their words. Concepts of culture, power, strategy, and identity are used to explain how movement organizations and activists contribute to social change. The diversity of organizations and conflicts studied make this book a unique and important contribution to peace building and to social movements scholarship.
