Wrestling with the Word

Preaching On Tricky Texts

By: Jamie Harrison

Many biblical texts seem almost impossible to preach. They may be violent or terrifying or strange or abrasive. They may deal with matters simply beyond human experience. The preacher could well be tempted to choose an easier text on offer! But leaving taxing passages untouched means the Bible is effectively silenced. In Wrestling with the Word, well-known and accomplished preachers grapple with a range of notoriously difficult biblical Old and New Testament texts. As well as providing sample sermons – in an exhilarating variety of structural styles and voices – they offer ideas to help in the planning process of interpreting and applying such passages. 'A well-constructed and delivered sermon has the potential to inspire people as few other experiences can.' The Rt Revd John Pritchard, from the Foreword

Working on Mysteries

The Coming of Age

By: Richard Harrison and Jennifer Carsen

Henry Hartwell, Boyd Culver, Charles Evans and Dan Proctor were classmates at Midwestern Law School. Though they came from very different backgrounds, they became very close friends and formed the School's most successful study group as 1L's. They have remained friends since graduation yet each going their separate way and experiencing their own triumphs and hurdles. Henry is an Associate Dean at Midwestern, Boyd a successful partner in a Chicago law firm, Charles a philanthropist and Dan a judge in Atlanta, Georgia. They are reunited for a weekend class reunion on Midwestern's campus where they once learned the law and to think like lawyers. The weekend becomes another learning experience as each learns more about themselves and their own personal struggles with life, career and relationships. The late night study group sessions in law school and the long hours at the office during their career have not lead to the "success" they had been seeking. Is it too late to change?

Joan of Arc

A Life Transfigured

By: Kathryn Harrison

Kathryn Harrison gives us a Joan of Arc for our time—a shining exemplar of unshakable faith, extraordinary courage, and self-confidence on the battlefield, in the royal court, during a brutally rigged inquisition and imprisonment, and in the face of her death. In this new take on Joan’s story, Harrison deftly weaves historical fact, myth, folklore, scripture, artistic representations, and centuries of scholarly and critical interpretation into a fascinating narrative, revitalizing our sense of Joan as one of the greatest heroines in all of human history.

Victorian Horace

Victorian Horace

Classics and Class

By: Stephen Harrison

The poetry of Horace was central to Victorian male elite education and the ancient poet himself, suitably refashioned, became a model for the English gentleman. Horace and the Victorians examines the English reception of Horace in Victorian culture, a period which saw the foundations of the discipline of modern classical scholarship in England and of many associated and lasting social values. It shows that the scholarly study, translation and literary imitation of Horace in this period were crucial elements in reinforcing the social prestige of Classics as a discipline and its function as an indicator of 'gentlemanly' status through its domination of the elite educational system and its prominence in literary production. The book ends with an epilogue suggesting that the framework of study and reception of a classical author such as Horace, so firmly established in the Victorian era, has been modernised and 'democratised' in recent years, matching the movement of Classics from a discipline which reinforces traditional and conservative social values to one which can be seen as both marginal and liberal.

Heritage Futures

Comparative Approaches to Natural and Cultural Heritage Practices

By: Rodney Harrison

Preservation of natural and cultural heritage is often said to be something that is done for the future, or on behalf of future generations, but the precise relationship of such practices to the future is rarely reflected upon. Heritage Futures draws on research undertaken over four years by an interdisciplinary, international team of 16 researchers and more than 25 partner organisations to explore the role of heritage and heritage-like practices in building future worlds. Engaging broad themes such as diversity, transformation, profusion and uncertainty, Heritage Futures aims to understand how a range of conservation and preservation practices across a number of countries assemble and resource different kinds of futures, and the possibilities that emerge from such collaborative research for alternative approaches to heritage in the Anthropocene. Case studies include the cryopreservation of endangered DNA in frozen zoos, nuclear waste management, seed biobanking, landscape rewilding, social history collecting, space messaging, endangered language documentation, built and natural heritage management, domestic keeping and discarding practices, and world heritage site management.

Surry County

By: Deborah Harrison Dawson

Surry County

By: Deborah Harrison Dawson

Just a 20-minute ferry ride from the place of the first permanent English settlement at Jamestown on the southern banks of the James River begins 306 square miles of ravines and level lands, fresh water streams and creeks, and scenic views of Virginia's longest river. Surry was formed in 1652 and was most likely named by early colonists in honor of the English county of Surrey and in recognition of its location, as it lay across the Thames from London, as did Surry from Jamestown. For more than 350 years, Surry has depended on an agriculture economy and small businesses that developed around the meat processing industry, lumber harvesting, and farming. Residents, state officials, and now this photographic collection help to preserve this wonderful slice of American history.

Long For Life

Long For Life

By: Brandon Harrison

I just did my best to remember to tell myself ‘I can and will change my life for the better,’ page 40, Long for Life. It is inevitable that, at some point, everyone will confront some sort of challenge, adversity, or obstacle in life. Survivor, Brandon Harrison, however, faced more than a challenge. His cancer diagnosis at a young age came with a slim twenty-five percent chance of surviving through childhood, only then to suffer two hemorrhagic strokes in his teens. Brandon Harrison chose to claim his life back and raise money by longboarding across Canada with his father, Michael. Tragically, Harrison’s trip was cut short when he suffered a third hemorrhagic stroke at their second Heart and Stroke fundraiser and he woke up from a coma half-paralyzed on his twentieth birthday. After learning to stand, walk, and ride again, Harrison would finish his cross-country mission on the third-year anniversary of the day he nearly lost his life from the paralyzing stroke. Long for Life is Brandon’s mind-boggling story of 28 years: a diversity of drama, suspense, adventure, and curiosity full of twists that will inspire readers aged mid-teens to sixty to live the best possible life they can. Long for Life is sure to stir readers to weather life's misfortunes by working hard, believing in themselves, and never giving up, no matter what life throws at them. To live their lives to the fullest. To know without a reasonable doubt that they, too, can overcome any and all obstacles that life may throw at them.
