Johnston County

By: Todd Johnson,Durwood Barbour

Photographs can bring history to life and help us to make connections between the past and our daily lives. With Johnston County, authors Todd Johnson and Durwood Barbour have created a work that truly teaches us and guides us from the past of this area into the new millennium. In this exciting new work, every one of the county's seventeen townships has been covered, with rare images dating primarily from the turn of the century to 1945. Mostly candid shots of people who have influenced Johnston's social, cultural, and economic development, these images bring us to a time when the pace of life was slower. Other, more well-known citizens we meet include film star Ava Gardner and Lunsford Richardson, inventor of Vick's VapoRub. Also featured in this book are images of important events, like the highly publicized, catastrophic munitions truck explosion near Selma in 1942.

Cades Cove

The Life and Death of a Southern Appalachian Community

By: Durwood Dunn

Winner of the Thomas Wolfe Literary Award Drawing on a rich trove of documents never before available to scholars, the author sketches the early pioneers, their daily lives, their beliefs, and their struggles to survive and prosper in this isolated mountain community, now within the confines of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In moving detail this book brings to life an isolated mountain community, its struggle to survive, and the tragedy of its demise. "Professor Dunn provides us with a model historical investigation of a southern mountain community. His findings on commercial farming, family, religion, and politics will challenge many standard interpretations of the Appalachian past." --Gordon B. McKinney, Western Carolina University. "This is a fine book. . . . It is mostly about community and interrelationships, and thus it refutes much of the literature that presents Southern Mountaineers as individualistic, irreligious, violent, and unlawful." —Loyal Jones, Appalachian Heritage. "Dunn . . . has written one of the best books ever produced about the Southern mountains." —Virginia Quarterly Review. "This study offers the first detailed analysis of a remote southern Appalachian community in the nineteenth century. It should lay to rest older images of the region as isolated and static, but it raises new questions about the nature of that premodern community." —Ronald D Eller, American Historical Review Not only is his book a worthy addition to the growing body of work recognizing the complexities of southern mountain society; it is also a lively testament to the value of local history and the variety of levels at which it can provide significant enlightenment." —John C. Inscoe,LOCUS

God Did It

Not the Big Bang and Evolution

By: Durwood B. Hatch

Have you been looking for a scientific resource that wasn't afraid to admit the truth, whatever that truth might be? Have you been searching for someone knowledgeable about cosmology and biology yet still a believer in the God of the Bible? In God Did It, author Durwood Hatch offers readers a fair-minded approach to the sciences. Why do so many begin scientific inquiry with assumptions that have no grounds? With an emphasis on cosmology and biology, Durwood candidly discusses the errors inherent in current scientific worldviews. With a keen understanding of the sciences, he offers clear and innovative answers to some of science's most difficult problems. By not dismissing the idea of God before he begins, he shows readers many deep questions in science that overwhelmingly point to an intelligent designer. Find out more about red-shifts, distance triangulation techniques, microwave radiation, evolutionary biology, important legal cases regarding science, and more!

The Power to Change

Sermons for Lent and Easter

By: Durwood L. Buchheim

Christians today need to hear more about the possibility that we don't have to stay the way we are, writes Durwood L. Buchheim. "God is not finished with us or with our world. So, Christians can live hopefully, expectantly and boldly. There is power to change. The Lent-Easter texts point in that direction." The fifteen sermons in this book are based on First Lesson texts. Lenten season sermons are based on six Old Testament books. Except for Easter Sunday, Easter season sermons are based on the book of Acts. The sermons follow the Revised Common Lectionary. Christianity is about caring and sharing... We are the people of God's future. We are to be signs of hope to those around us. Under the power of God's great grace, we can begin to live that way now. -- from the Easter 2 sermon Durwood L. Buchheim is professor of preaching at Wartburg Theological Seminary, Dubuque, Iowa. He is a graduate of Wartburg College and Wartburg Seminary. He is a former Bishop of the Iowa District of the American Lutheran Church.
