Total Commitment

A Memoir of God and Politics When South Carolina Elected a Republican Governor

By: Harry Lee Poe

When the 1974 South Carolina governor's race began, the Republican Party had not elected a governor in 100 years. In the middle of the campaign, Richard Nixon resigned as president and Republicans all over the country looked forward to defeat in the general elections. The morning of the election, the Republican candidate had a voter recognition factor in the lonely neighborhood of twenty percent. That evening when the votes were counted, the Republican candidate had won by an overwhelming margin. It was a strange year in the state that had elected Strom Thurmond to the United States Senate on a write-in vote some twenty years earlier. The Vietnam War had ended a year earlier, and the Baby Boomers were entering the workforce. In this humorous view from the bottom of South Carolina politics, Harry Lee Poe describes the unlikely scenario of the clash between old party politics and youthful idealism, the party leaders and the precinct workers, and the party bosses and the voters. It is a story of how Gen. William Westmoreland could have an incontestable lead in the statewide preference polls but lose the Republican primary to a dentist who had none of the backing of the GOP leadership. It is the story of how a young mortgage banker from New York who had no political experience and only a few months residency in South Carolina could defeat Congressman William Jennings Bryan Dorn and Lieutenant-Governor Earle Morris in the Democratic primary. It is the story of what the insurance companies refer to as an act of God in many more ways than one. It was the time when the great mass of Baby Boomers had come of age but did not know what to do with themselves. It was the time that the South began to change. In the midst of it all Hal Poe, the twenty-three year Finance Director of the South Carolina Republican Party, was trying to sort out the GOP and GOD.

God and the Cosmos

Divine Activity in Space, Time and History

By: Harry Lee Poe,Jimmy H. Davis

Theologian Harry Lee Poe and chemist Jimmy H. Davis argue that God's interaction with our world is a possibility affirmed equally by the Bible and the contemporary scientific record. Rather than confirming that the cosmos is closed to the actions of the divine, advancing scientific knowledge seems to indicate that the nature of the universe is actually open to the unique type of divine activity portrayed in the Bible.

The Inklings of Oxford

C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Their Friends

By: Harry Lee Poe

Oxford’s fabled streets echo with the names of such key figures in English history as Edmund Halley, John Wycliffe, and John and Charles Wesley. Of more recent times are those of C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and the other members of the renowned literary circle to which they belonged, the Inklings. What would it be like to walk this medieval city’s narrow lanes in the company of such giants of Christian literature, to visit Magdalen College, where Lewis and Tolkien read aloud their works-in-progress to their friends, or the Eagle and Child pub, the Inklings’ favorite gathering place? The lavish photography of this book will introduce you to the fascinating world of the Inklings, matching their words to the places where these friends discussed—and argued over—theology, philosophy, ancient Norse myth, and Old Icelandic, while writing stories that were to become classics of the faith. The Inklings of Oxford will deepen your knowledge of and appreciation for this unique set of personalities. The book also features a helpful map section for taking walking tours of Oxford University and its environs.

Becoming C. S. Lewis (1898–1918)

A Biography of Young Jack Lewis

By: Harry Lee Poe

During his youth, the boy who would become C. S. Lewis formed his most basic impressions and tastes regarding music, art, literature, religion, sports, friendship, imagination, education, war, and more. The issues young "Jack" Lewis wrestled with drove him toward the foundation on which his life would be built. His childhood interests, influences, longings, struggles, and even failures prepared him to engage his gifts as a writer, teacher, and friend. Lewis expert Harry Lee Poe unfolds young Jack's key relationships, hobbies, spiritual conflicts, decisions, desires, and dreams. Along the way, Poe points out where these themes reappear in Lewis's later works— bringing to life the importance of his conversion and his surprising discovery of joy.

The Making of C. S. Lewis (1918–1945)

From Atheist to Apologist

By: Harry Lee Poe

Experience C. S. Lewis's Captivating Transformation from Atheist to Christian At the end of World War I, young C. S. Lewis was a devout atheist about to begin his studies at Oxford. In the three decades that followed, he would establish himself as one of the most influential writers and scholars of modern times, undergoing a radical conversion to Christianity that would transform his life and his work. Scholar Harry Lee Poe unfolds these watershed years in Lewis's life, offering readers a unique perspective on his conversion, his friendships with well-known Christians such as J. R. R. Tolkien and Dorothy L. Sayers, and his development from an opponent of Christianity to one of its most ardent defenders.

Chance or Dance

An Evaluation of Design

By: Jimmy H. Davis,Harry L. Poe

Chance or Dance provides an overview of design and clarification of the controversial Intelligent Design (ID) movement and ultimately concludes there is no scientific proof behind Intelligent Design. As the controversy over Intelligent Design has grown over the past few years, there is a tendency to confuse all statements about design with the Intelligent Design movement and to confuse any affirmation of creation with Scientific Creationism. Davis and Poe begin with a brief historical perspective of the design argument and then examine the significant breakthroughs in cosmology, math, physics, chemistry, and biology that have provided renewed speculation in design. The authors discuss that the idea of design is far more expansive than the ID movement’s version of it, evaluate Dawkins’ interpretation of genetic determinism, include a chapter that explores the tendency since Darwin to assume that the presence of an observable cause excludes the possibility of divine involvement; and introduce further reflections on wonder and awe that take into account the recent surge of interest in this area. The book concludes with an argument for the correlation between faith and sensory experience and suggests that science has successfully described processes but failed to explain origins. Chance or Dance is ideal for students and general readers interested in understanding how modern science gives evidence for nature’s creation by the Bible’s God.

The Gospel and Its Meaning

A Theology for Evangelism and Church Growth

By: Harry Lee Poe

The Gospel speaks to a broad range of concerns--concerns that differ from person to person, group to group, culture to culture. Yet the practice of the twentieth-century church has been to concentrate on one part of the Gospel--repentance and justification--as if it were the whole, and to proclaim that part uniformly, often without meaningful context that would demonstrate the relevance of Christ to the hearer. The Gospel and Its Meaning breaks fresh ground for evangelism. It equips the students of evangelism with theological foundations for reaching diverse groups, from Hindi pantheists to radical environmentalists, without compromising the Gospel's integrity. The Gospel and Its Meaning - Identifies the basic elements of the Gospel - Shows the relationship of these elements to specific doctrines of theology - Identifies theologians and systems that have focused on particular doctrines - Shows which elements of the Gospel deal most clearly with various issues of evangelism - Suggests avenues of ministry that can address each evangelistic issue. By showing how different parts of the Gospel address the concerns of people within and without the Judeo-Christian worldview, The Gospel and Its Meaning helps those in any kind of evangelistic ministry to develop a means for connecting the Gospel directly to the world of the hearer while distinguishing it clearly from philosophies of relativism and pluralism.
