So Much to Give

By: Sharon Minck Elwell

Beautiful Litchfield County, Connecticut in the 1960’s. A rural, small New England town where Ellen and her teenage son, Mark are adjusting to life after the untimely death of her beloved husband and Mark’s father, John Rutledge. Doc Elliott is a country veterinarian and old friend of Mark’s parents whose concern, loyalty and love for them is evident from the beginning. This is a good read for all whose four legged friends are an integral part of their lives. The many touching and often amusing interactions of animals with humans are intelligently and compassionately told. Doc Elliott has a significant impact on the lives of his animal patients, their human companions and most importantly Ellen’s and Mark’s lives. The angst and tragedy swirling around them only solidifies their strength and faith in each other. Their inherent goodness appears naïve in contrast to the bold faced cruelty and evilness of Frank Biddle. Into the quiet lives of this group of friends and family he appears. A calculating man who has come seeking revenge and retribution. The growing sinister presence of a man who has learned to carefully script his speech and actions to avoid causing suspicion, culminates in a spiraling tension of action and nerves.

Silencing Satan

Handbook of Biblical Demonology

By: Sharon Beekmann,Peter G. Bolt

Silencing Satan: A Handbook of Biblical Demonology is about the nature and strategies of Satan and the demons, and their defeat through the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The book is for Christians in ministry, whether seminarians, pastors, Bible teachers, Christian counselors, or lay leaders. It is for all who desire an informed faith relevant to supernatural evil and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Each chapter reflects extensive research and is succinctly written to enable believers to quickly grasp biblical truths that expose the lies and half-truths propagated by popular culture, within and outside the church. The authors teach that when face to face with supernatural evil in its various guises--apparitions, voices, sensations, false doctrine, and immoral temptations--believers resist the devil and reflexively turn to Jesus and Scripture. They fight by living a radical life of faith, expressed through love and obedience to Christ. As they do, God himself redeems the evil that Satan intends for his vainglory. God is building his church, and the gates of hades will not prevail against her (Matt 16:18)!

Silencing Satan: 13 Studies for Individuals and Groups

Handbook of Biblical Demonology

By: Sharon Beekmann

The 13 lessons of this study guide help Christians develop an informed faith about supernatural evil and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Each lesson refers the reader to significant teachings in Silencing Satan: Handbook of Biblical Demonology. In the book, the authors teach about the nature and strategies of Satan and the demons, and their defeat through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. They advocate resisting the devil in his various guises--apparitions, voices, sensations, false doctrine, and immoral temptations--by reflexively turning to Jesus Christ and Scripture. The authors expose the half-truths and lies propagated by popular culture. They caution not to fill in gaps of understanding with extra-biblical sources. Does the study of Satan and the demons increase fear or give him too much attention? In fact, when presented from a biblical perspective, such knowledge can increase faith in Jesus Christ and enable Christians to effectively serve God and his church. Believers are challenged to live a radical life of faith, expressed through love and obedience to Christ. Seminarians, pastors, Bible teachers, Christian counselors, and lay leaders will find this study useful in individual and small group situations. A leaders' guide is available in the appendix.

Lexington

By: Sharon R. Paeth

Originally known as Saxe Gotha Township when it was created by the Colonial government in 1735, Lexington has a unique and rich history. The county began simply as a buffer between the city of Charleston and the Native Americans. Creative locals built a thriving business community in the area around the Congaree River in present-day Cayce, supporting trade between the colonists and the Native Americans. Emigrants from Germany and Switzerland were invited to become pioneers. They were independent, hard-working farmers who built the area into a strong and sustaining home despite numerous trials and tribulations. Native American wars, fires, Civil War, depressions, and world wars only solidified these settlers' strong sense of ownership and pride in their county. Today visitors enjoy over 50 historical sites and recreation facilities.

When You Don't Like Your Story

What If Your Worst Chapters Could Become Your Greatest Victories?

By: Sharon Jaynes

Bestselling author, cofounder of Girlfriends in God, and writer for Proverbs 31 Ministries Sharon Jaynes reveals the secret to living a better story: understanding that the worst parts of our past are the very things God uses most. Many people don't like the story God is writing in their lives. The mistakes, failures, tragedies, and circumstances outside of our control linger in our minds and hold us back. How do we come to grips with the pieces of our stories that we wish weren't there? How do we silence the pain of what has been done to us and the shame of what we've allowed to be done through us? In When You Don't Like Your Story, Bible teacher Sharon Jaynes shows us how God untangles our most painful emotions with the fingers of grace, putting his redemption on display. In the hardest parts of our narratives, we get to see God's greatest work--and this changes the ending of our stories. As we overcome shame, offer forgiveness, and use our stories to help others, we find freedom from the past and learn to live in the restoration of the present.

A Light Revealing

The Methodist Episcopal Church in Early America

By: Sharon Grimes Knox

A Light Revealing: The Methodist Episcopal Church in Early America is a study in the transformation of John Wesley's theology into a living church, uniquely suited to its own growth and that of a nation. The two evolved in a period of change without parallel. From the Revolutionary War to the question of slavery and the Civil War, the Methodist Episcopal Church (MEC) and the young nation grew in stature. This study traces the history from John Wesley's mission to Savannah, Georgia, to the division within the Methodist Episcopal Church. Using a system of itinerancy, the early preachers initially traveled a circuit, acting as the glue that held the system together. As settlers moved west and established new territories for the country, the itinerants followed. Camp meetings and quarterly meetings offered social as well as religious connections among the people. With the coming of the railroads, towns developed and the physical structure of permanent church buildings demonstrated civic pride. The new cleric was often educated and had married and was committed to the local church. The church drew its membership through the system of Sunday schools. While this system had been difficult through the early itinerant's infrequent visits, church membership soared. By 1850, the MEC's share of church membership in America was more than 34 percent. Included in this book is a series of sermons given by the Rev. J.T. Galford. The fourteen sermons were given in Springbank, Illinois, in the 1870s. Reverend Galford epitomizes the new cleric of his age. Educated, married, and a farmer/rancher, he was well suited to his community. The sermons are filled with optimism and a zeal that is refreshing. His constant concern is for the souls of his congregants and their relation to their God. His sermons are as relevant today as they were almost one hundred and fifty years ago.

The Freedom of the Streets

Work, Citizenship, and Sexuality in a Gilded Age City

By: Sharon E. Wood

Gilded Age cities offered extraordinary opportunities to women--but at a price. As clerks, factory hands, and professionals flocked downtown to earn a living, they alarmed social critics and city fathers, who warned that self-supporting women were just steps away from becoming prostitutes. With in-depth research possible only in a mid-sized city, Sharon E. Wood focuses on Davenport, Iowa, to explore the lives of working women and the prostitutes who shared their neighborhoods. The single, self-supporting women who migrated to Davenport in the years following the Civil War saw paid labor as the foundation of citizenship. They took up the tools of public and political life to assert the respectability of paid employment and to confront the demon of prostitution. Wood offers cradle-to-grave portraits of individual girls and women--both prostitutes and "respectable" white workers--seeking to reshape their city and expand women's opportunities. As Wood demonstrates, however, their efforts to rewrite the sexual politics of the streets met powerful resistance at every turn from men defending their political rights and sexual power.

The Women's Haftarah Commentary

New Insights from Women Rabbis on the 54 Weekly Haftarah Portions, the 5 Megillot & Special Shabbatot

By: Rabbi Elyse Goldstein

Women rabbis are changing the face of Judaism. Discover how their interpretations of the Prophets, Writings, and Megillot can enrich your perspective. The Haftarah is a potent tool for understanding the values, ethics, and moral lessons contained in the Torah readings. In this first-of-its-kind volume, more than eighty women rabbis from the Reform, Conservative, and Reconstructionist movements offer fresh perspectives on the beloved texts that make up the Haftarah—the Prophets and Writings—and the Five Megillot. Based on readings that are rich in imagery—some poetic, some narrative, some dark and brooding—their commentaries include surprising insights on the stories of Deborah and Yael, David and Goliath, David and Bathsheva, and the witch of Endor, among many others. Themes such as Jerusalem as woman, the story of Jonah and the fish, and other prophetic images are informed and challenged by this groundbreaking work. A rich resource, a major contribution to modern biblical commentary, and the ideal companion to The Women’s Torah Commentary, The Women’s Haftarah Commentary will inspire all of us to gain deeper meaning from the Hebrew scriptures and a heightened appreciation of Judaism.

Sharon

By: Sharon Historical Society

At the turn of the 20th century, Sharons very existence was threatened by the collapse of the local iron industry as the towns economy and population began to decline. However, the popularity of automobile transportation and Sharons accessible distance from New York attracted a class of wealthy visitors who fell in love with the rolling hills and quiet valleys. This new weekend population purchased land and built stately country homes, reigniting interest in the area. Steady growth in construction provided much-needed work, and commerce began to thrive again. Early businesses expanded, and new operations opened. Local residents could shop at stores run by the Gillette brothers and A.R. Woodward, fill their tanks at Herman Middlebrooks gas station, and have their health care needs attended to by doctors at the state-of-the-art Sharon Hospital, built in 1916. Eastern Europeans became the towns newest residents, taking advantage of the affordable, cleared land to fuel a large number of highly successful farms. Sharons residents thrived as they reshaped their town, welcoming newcomers and nurturing a community of inclusion that lasts to the present day.
