Auditor's Talk

An Oral History of the Profession from the 1920s to the Present Day

By: Derek Matthews,Jim Pirie

This book is an oral history of the auditing profession in Britain from 1920s to the present day based on extended extracts from interviews with 77 past and present practitioners. Those interviewed ranged from a nonagenarian who qualified in the 1920s, to active contemporaries, from sole practitioners to the present day heads of the Big Five accounting firms. The often candid interviews uncover a surprising variety of experience and opinions and allow a group of often fascinating individuals to tell their own stories.

Press into the Power

A Journey to Healing and Breakthrough

By: Derek L. Calhoun

Pressing into the Power takes you on a journey through the bondage of impossibilities and safely guides you to the realm of divine possibilities. Derek L. Calhoun, a duly consecrated and ordained bishop, laments the fact that we’ve become a society that struggles to discern right from wrong. He also observes how the COVID-19 pandemic, George Floyd protests, and the Jan. 6, 2021, riot in Washington, D.C., have led many to lose hope—just like the Israelites in the days of Jonathan. But he contends the pandemic and other life-altering events were not a call to run and hide. They were a call to regroup and rise out of the ashes of obscurity. This book examines the power of forgiveness, the liberating power of faith, the intersection of faith and technology and, the transformative power of listening to the Lord. Discover a simplistic approach to moving closer to the Lord that allows you to break free from the routines of religion with the powerful insights in this book. Praise for Press into the Power “You can always count on a powerful Word from God through Bishop Calhoun, a spiritual warrior. Press into The Power, is an inspirational tool that guides us on how to stay the course during life’s challenges through divine obedience to God. This book will not only encourage and inspire you; it will help you give serious thought as to the purpose of your life and how to follow God’s process for growth.” —The Honorable Jodi Murray Gregg “... If you are one looking for wisdom on how to navigate the offering of good news afresh in a divided, often hopeless world, I invite you to ‘Press into The Power’ and watch God do God’s mighty work through you. Regardless of your vocation, this is a must read for pandemic faith leaders guiding people through the challenges of what is truly a new world order.” —Dr. Joseph W. Daniels, Jr., Lead Pastor, The Emory Fellowship UMC, Washington, D.C., Founder and Board Member, The Emory Beacon of Light, Inc., Washington, D.C. “... If you are disenchanted with life’s difficulties, this book will help you correct course. Although the road to purpose is paved with much adversity, Press into The Power reminds us that we can overcome. Through the candid lens of his own trials and triumphs, Bishop Calhoun reveals the path to a victorious life, one principle at a time.” —Dexter B. Upshaw Jr., Senior Pastor, New Vision International Ministries, CT., Alumnus, Yale University, TEDx Speaker and Entrepreneur

Missing

By: Derek Earls

When several million people suddenly go missing, the ensuing world, both locally in Cornwall and worldwide, struggles to come to terms with the inept and comical attempts to put a sensible lid on the happening. We follow the mishaps of a rogue Cornish vicar alongside those of world leaders; both, in their own way, trying to balance a return to normality whilst seeking the truth or otherwise. When the local, national and international come into contact, via the UK Prime Ministers wife, the wiles of politicians and the mistrust of such wiles produce a comical mayhem that nevertheless still ends in a simple sadness.

Twenty Questions That Shaped World Christian History

Twenty Questions That Shaped World Christian History

By: Derek Cooper

The questions of Christianity are perennial. For example: How are Judaism and Christianity related? Are Jesus and the Holy Spirit God? Is the end of the world imminent? How should we relate faith and reason? In this innovative work, Derek Cooper tells the story of Christian history by presenting the twenty questions (one for each century!) that shaped the Christian church throughout the world. Ê The result is a book that narrates the exciting history of Christianity from a global perspective by means of simple questions and concerns that still face the church today. Ê Each century of world Christian history is explored by means of one question that attempts to encapsulate the central themes and concerns of that century for Christianity. Coverage of each century is sensitive to world regions and theological and cultural concerns that are often overlooked and neglected in books that are oriented in a more Western way.

Sinners and Saints

The Real Story of Early Christianity

By: Derek Cooper

Where most books dance around the distasteful details of the church's past, this one puts a spotlight on the negative and positive alike. With one ear attuned to the early church and another to contemporary culture, this book addresses the growing concerns both Christians and non-Christians have about how transparent the church has been about its roots. This book offers a forthright depiction of early Christianity, beginning with the apostles and ending after the time of Augustine. Sinners and Saints is the first of a four-volume series that humanizes the history of Christianity by honestly examining the actions, doctrines, decisions, groups, movements, and practices of past Christians. This book's assessment helps the reader accurately understand Christianity's background and recognize how it continues to shape the present.

By Man Least Understood: Reptenace, Agency, Restoration, Atonement, and the Everlasting Covenant

By: Derek G. Rowley

Of all the miracles ever recorded during God's dealings with man, perhaps the greatest of all is the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Christ's selfless sacrifice made it possible for us to be forgiven, partake of Eternal Life, and return to the presence of our Heavenly Father. Although many books exist on this subject, few command the depth of insight this book holds. Beginning with the basic principle of repentance, this book details the restoration of priesthood keys, priesthood ordinances, gospel covenants, agency, and forgiveness. It explores the truth that repentance is the process by which the power of the Atonement - the thread that ties everything together in our journey to the Celestial Kingdom - is ultimately available to us, and reminds us that repentance allows us to receive all the gifts, blessings, and promises of eternal life. In By Man Least Understood, the reader will come to fully appreciate that the Atonement is the miracle that provides the path by which we can reach our full potential and become like our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.

Survey of Medieval Winchester

Survey of Medieval Winchester

By: Derek Keene,Alexander R. Rumble

By the fourteenth century Winchester had lost its former eminence, but in trades, manufactures, and population, as well as by virtue of its administrative and ecclesiastical role, the city was still one of the major provincial centres in England. This Survey is based on a reconstruction of the histories of the houses, plots, gardens, and fields in the city and suburbs between c. 1300 and c. 1540, although in many instances both earlier and later periods are also covered. The reconstruction takes the form of a gazetteer (Part ii) of 1,128 histories of properties, together with accounts of 56 parish churches and the international fair of St. Giles, all illustrated by detailed maps. There is also a biographical register (Part iii) concerning more than 8,000 property-holders, most of whom lived in Winchester. This is the first time that it has been possible to piece together such a precise and detailed picture of both the topography and the inhabitants of a medieval town. Part i of the book contains a full discussion of the significance of this material and, in a manner relevant to an understanding of life in medieval towns in general, describes and defines such matters as the evolution of the physical environment, housing, land-tenure, property values, the parochial structure, the practice and organization of trades, and the ways in which the citizens of Winchester adapted to the declining status of their city.

Ethnic Patriotism and the East African Revival

A History of Dissent, c.1935–1972

By: Derek R. Peterson

Ethnic Patriotism and the East African Revival shows how, in the era of African political independence, cosmopolitan Christian converts struggled with East Africa's patriots over the definition of culture and community. The book traces the history of the East African Revival, an evangelical movement that spread through much of eastern and central Africa. Its converts offered a subversive reading of culture, disavowing their compatriots and disregarding their obligations to kin. They earned the ire of East Africa's patriots, who worked to root people in place as inheritors of ancestral wisdom. This book casts religious conversion in a new light: not as an inward reorientation of belief, but as a political action that opened up novel paths of self-narration and unsettled the inventions of tradition.

The Practice of Authorship in the Early Christian East

By: Derek Krueger

Writing and Holiness

The Practice of Authorship in the Early Christian East

By: Derek Krueger

Drawing on comparative literature, ritual and performance studies, and the history of asceticism, Derek Krueger explores how early Christian writers came to view writing as salvific, as worship through the production of art. Exploring the emergence of new and distinctly Christian ideas about authorship in late antiquity, Writing and Holiness probes saints' lives and hymns produced in the Greek East to reveal how the ascetic call to imitate Christ's humility rendered artistic and literary creativity problematic. In claiming authority and power, hagiographers appeared to violate the saintly practices that they sought to promote. Christian writers meditated within their texts on these tensions and ultimately developed a new set of answers to the question "What is an author?" Each of the texts examined here used writing as a technique for the representation of holiness. Some are narrative representations of saints that facilitate veneration; others are collections of accounts of miracles, composed to publicize a shrine. Rather than viewing an author's piety as a barrier to historical inquiry, Krueger argues that consideration of writing as a form of piety opens windows onto new modes of practice. He interprets Christian authors as participants in the religious system they described, as devotees, monastics, and faithful emulators of the saints, and he shows how their literary practice integrated authorship into other Christian practices, such as asceticism, devotion, pilgrimage, liturgy, and sacrifice. In considering the distinctly literary contributions to the formation of Christian piety in late antiquity, Writing and Holiness uncovers Christian literary theories with implications for both Eastern and Western medieval literatures.

New-found Voices

Women in Nineteenth-century English Music

By: Derek Hyde

First published in 1998, this volume by Derek Hyde remedies the lack of information concerning the contribution made by women to musical life in Britain during the nineteenth century in this carefully researched survey. The book reveals the significant role played by women in the production and performance of certain genres of music, such as piano music, songs and ballads, and touches on the reasons why they were more prominent in these areas than in the male preserves of chamber and orchestral music. In particular, the pioneering work of Sarah Glover in Sol-fa notation and the part played by Mary Wakefield in establishing the Competitive Festival Movement are charted. The third edition includes a new introduction, taking into account recent research in the field of gender and music. There is also a revised chapter on the work of Ethel Smyth, the first woman composer to enjoy a measure of success in England. This book will be of interest to social historians, musicologists and those concerned with women’s history alike.

They joined an R.A.F. known as "the best flying club in the world," but when war pitches the young pilots of 409 Squadron into battle over Germany, their training, tactics and equipment are soon found wanting, their twin-engined bombers obsolete from the off. Chances of completing a 30-operation tour? One in three. At best. Robinson's crooked salute to the dogged heroes of the R.A.F.'s early bombing campaign is a wickedly humorous portrait of men doing their duty in flying death traps, fully aware, in those dark days of war, there was nothing else to do but dig in and hang on.

NAACP in Washington, DC, The: From Jim Crow to Home Rule

By: Derek Gray

Founded in March 1912, DC branch of the NAACP quickly became the leading organization advocating for the city's Black community. President Woodrow Wilson's institution of Jim Crow segregation in the federal government in the spring of 1913 galvanized the African American community of DC and the NAACP launched a formidable crusade against Wilson's racist policies. As the preeminent civil rights organization of the nation's capital, it also developed a dual role as a watchdog body to prevent the passage of legislation in Congress that negatively affected African Americans. Archivist and historian Derek Gray chronicles and analyzes the work of the DC NAACP through the civil rights era to the achievement of Home Rule in the District.

The Plantagenets

The Kings That Made Britain

By: Derek Wilson

England, 1154. As Henry II seizes the throne after years of turmoil, a new dynasty is poised to haul this hitherto turbulent nation out from the Dark Ages and transform it into the nation state we recognize today. Featuring some of England's greatest but also most notorious kings, the house of Plantagenet would reign for over 300 blood-soaked, yet foundational, years. The dynasty provides some of the most evocative names in our history: from the brave yet rash Richard the Lionheart, his treacherous brother John, the hapless Richard II, and the hero of Agincourt Henry V, through to the controversial Richard III. And in this authoritative, intelligent and grippingly written book, acclaimed historian Derek Wilson brings this thrilling era to life.

In the Lion's Court

Power, Ambition, and Sudden Death in the Reign of Henry VIII

By: Derek Wilson

The story of Henry VIII and his six wives is a well-known example of the caprice and violence that dominated that king's reign. Now Derek Wilson examines a set of relationships that more vividly illustrate just how dangerous life was in the court of the Tudor lion. He tells the interlocking stories of six men-all, curiously enough, called Thomas-whose ambitions and principles brought them face to face with violent death, as recorded in a simple mnemonic: 'Died, beheaded, beheaded, Self-slaughtered, burned, survived.' Thomas Wolsey was an accused traitor on his way to the block when a kinder death intervened. Thomas More and Thomas Cromwell, whose convictions and policies could scarcely have been more different, both perished beneath the headman's axe. Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk, would have met the same end had the king's own death not brought him an eleventh hour reprieve. Thomas Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton, and Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, though outliving the monarch, perished as a result of that war of ambitions and ideologies which rumbled on after 1547. Wriothesley succumbed to poison of either body or mind in the aftermath of a failed coup. Cranmer went to the stake as a heretic at the insistence of Mary Tudor, who was very much the daughter of the father she hated. In the Lion's Court is an illuminating examination of the careers of the six Thomases, whose lives are described in parallel-their family and social origins, their pathways to the royal Council chamber, their occupancy of the Siege Perilous, and the tragedies that, one by one, overwhelmed them. By showing how events shaped and were shaped by relationships and personal destinies, Derek Wilson offers a fresh approach to the political narrative of a tumultuous reign.

Rather than offering an exploration of bygone eras and outdated events, Cooper brings history to life by emphasizing how past events, individuals, and movements shape how we understand the world around us. Exploring Church History is divided into three convenient sections. While the first and second sections explain why and what we study in church history, the last section teaches readers how to study church history. The combined effect of the book is to present a clear and accessible introduction to the field of church history.
