Book's by President of the Mary Robinson Foundation - Climate Justice Former President of Ireland (1990-1997) United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights ( Mary Robinson
Exposing the realities of this world and showing how humans have forsaken the morals and values by which they should live, author Mary Robinson discusses the necessity of acknowledging the wisdom that God has supplied humankind. Through her personal testimony, she shares how she was led to Christ and has not looked back. In From Disgrace to Grace, Robinson explains how the two sins of fornication and adultery are destroying lives. She reveals the path to begin living a life that God intended, which involves changing a mind-set to live a godly life; knowing God by having a personal relationship with him; understanding God’s will and honoring his word; showing appreciation for the grace he bestows; avoiding fornication and adultery; and renouncing the devil. Through Bible scripture, From Disgrace to Grace shows how to live by the words of God and be thankful that he gave humans the Holy Spirit to endure the challenges faced in life.

Regularly the subject of cartoonists and satirical novelists, Mary 'Perdita' Robinson (1758-1800) achieved public notoriety as the mistress of the young Prince of Wales, later George IV. This eight-volume reset edition consolidates the recent shift in emphasis from her salacious life to her considerable literary achievements as both a novelist and poet. And recent interest in Robinson's work is fast awarding her a place of importance within the canon of British Romantic Literature. Her association with key romantic figures such as William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft, and the thematic comparisons between Robinson's work and that of her contemporary Charlotte Smith, make her a serious figure for scholarly research.With a keen eye for cultural and social critique her works expose the moral shortcomings of high society in Georgian England: the misogynistic treatment of women and the fetishistic obsession with wealth and social status receive particular attention. But more than social critique, these works identify Robinson as an avatar of subversive politics. Her well documented sympathy for the French Revolution evinces her political radicalism. And her unconventional treatment of gender and sexuality is emphasised by representations of transvestism and incest.This critical edition presents all seven of Robinson's novels for the first time. Also included is the unpublished play Nobody, a satirical afterpiece which sheds new light on Robinson's wider oeuvre. The edition is important for scholars of Romantic Studies and Women's Writing.
