Tracing the publishing history of Elizabeth Gaskell's Cranford from its initial 1851-53 serialization in Dickens's Household Words through its numerous editions and adaptations, Thomas Recchio focuses especially on how the text has been deployed to support ideas related to nation and national identity. Recchio maps Cranford's nineteenth-century reception in Britain and the United States through illustrated editions in England dating from 1864 and their subsequent re-publication in the United States, US school editions in the first two decades of the twentieth century, dramatic adaptations from 1899 to 2007, and Anglo-American literary criticism in the latter half of the twentieth century. Making extensive use of primary materials, Recchio considers Cranford within the context of the Victorian periodical press, contemporary reviews, theories of text and word relationships in illustrated books, community theater, and digital media. In addition to being a detailed publishing history that emphasizes the material forms of the book and its adaptations, Recchio's book is a narrative of Cranford's evolution from an auto-ethnography of a receding mid-Victorian English way of life to a novel that was deployed as a maternal model to define an American sensibility for early twentieth-century Mediterranean and Eastern European immigrants. While focusing on one novel, Recchio offers a convincing micro-history of the way English literature was positioned in England and the United States to support an Anglo-centric cultural project, to resist the emergence of multicultural societies, and to ensure an unchanging notion of a stable English culture on both sides of the Atlantic.

In recent years, there has been rise in popularity and visibility of the debate about the last things. Preterists and Futurists have published books, articles, and even movies promoting their respective views. This debate has elevated the interest of the Christian public in eschatological issues. Along with the increased interest in eschatology, there has been a rise in popularity of the Preterist view, which holds that most or all of the prophecies about ChristÕs coming have already been fulfilledÑthat the Òsecond comingÓ took place in 70 AD. Most of the discussion from those who espouse the Preterist view, however, revolves around certain passages in the New Testament, and their treatment of Old Testament passages is sporadic and selective. The importance of the book of Daniel in these discussions cannot be overstated. However, most commentaries on Daniel from a Futurist perspective have not dealt with the PreteristsÕ interpretations of the key prophetic passages. There simply is no detailed commentary on the book of Daniel that addresses the Presterist interpretations of this important book. This book is a commentary on the entire book of Daniel from a Futurist perspective that specifically addresses the Preterist interpretations of the key prophetic passages. This is not a book that selects passages out of the context of the book and attempts to explain their prophetic significance. Rather, this is a commentary on the entire book of Daniel that places these critical prophetic passages in their literary and historical context, and then deals with the various interpretations of these passages as they fit into the context of the book as a whole.

All people, at some point in their lives, will come upon difficult and trying circumstances that are traditionally characterized as a storm. As much as we try, with great-valiant effort, to avoid certain things, no one can avoid the inevitable storm or storms that will occur in their life. Storms are just part of the human condition, and we are either coming out of a storm, in a storm, or heading for a storm. Since we know that storms are one of life’s certainties, we should prepare to deal with them by equipping ourselves with the necessary knowledge and skills. This is an imperative statement because if you are not prepared to deal with a storm, then your life can easily be ripped apart by it. In a very short period of time, a storm can quietly and quickly remove things in your life that have taken you a lifetime to acquire. You can be a very secure person, but if you are not prepared, a storm can uproot values that once nurtured and upheld your life, like a stalwart tree uprooted from the ground. Therefore, if you want to know the things to do to make it through a storm, Making It through a Storm is a book that you will want to read. This book takes a look at what a group of people in 27th chapter of Acts did, who made it successfully through a severe storm, to learn the fundamental principles that one needs to embrace to make it through a storm. Making It through a Storm will share with you some very insightful, surprising, inspirational and delightful things that will help you make it through a storm in manner that will strengthen and enhance your life. Personal storms are common, but pertinent aids to help us in understanding and surmounting them are rare indeed. This book is one such rare aid, and its pages are filled with wisdom shared from a warm heart. Dr. James Earl Massey Dean Emeritus and Distinguish Professor-at-Large Anderson University School of Theology
This book is an unforgettable journey that is a must read for every believer. As the days grow darker it is essential everyone who desires to live for Jesus, understand the difference between Churchianity and Christianity. This book clears a path through the religious jungle, and clearly identifies the Way of Salvation. This necessarily involves the full extraction of the common religious practice of tithing from Christian doctrine. What is this book about? It is about everything that pertains to Godliness, and everything that frustrates Godliness. It is about growing in Christ and blossoming in faith, as well as dying to pride and rejecting the world. We are shown the difference between the treasures of Grace and the treasures of the world as we learn a new appreciation for our Lord Jesus Christ and all He won on the cross for us. This book is a guide to spiritual maturity where we learn to say along with John the Baptist, He must increase, but I must decrease. (John 3:30 KJV) Something involved in these issues is dealing with questions that have plagued many believers about how Malachi 3:8-11 has been taught to them: Am I really cursed as a robber of God for failing to pay my tithes? Will I really open up new Heavenly windows of blessing by faithfully paying my tithes? The answers to these questions involve all the schools of systematic theology which requires a deep thorough inspection into the contents of the Gospel of Grace, the plan of salvation, and the Priesthood of Christ

Despite its fascinating cast of characters, host of combats large and small, and its impact on the course of the Civil War, surprisingly little ink has been spilled on the conflictÕs final months in the Carolinas. Resisting Sherman: A Confederate SurgeonÕs Journal and the Civil War in the Carolinas, 1865, by Francis Marion Robertson (edited by Thomas H. Robertson, Jr.) fills in many of the gaps and adds tremendously to our knowledge of this region and those troubled final days of the Confederacy. Surgeon Francis Robertson fled Charleston with the Confederate garrison in 1865 in an effort to stay ahead of General ShermanÕs Federal army as it marched north from Savannah. The Southern high command was attempting to reinforce General Joseph E. JohnstonÕs force in North Carolina for a last-ditch effort to defeat Sherman and perhaps join with General Lee in Virginia, or at least gain better terms for surrender. Dr. Robertson, a West Pointer, physician, professor, politician, patrician, and Presbyterian with five sons in the Confederate army, kept a daily journal for the final three months of the Civil War while traveling more than 900 miles through four states. His account looks critically at the decisions of generals from a middle ranking officerÕs viewpoint, describes army movements from a ground level perspective, and places the military campaign within the everyday events of average citizens suffering under the boot of war. Editor and descendant Thomas Robertson followed in his ancestorÕs footsteps, conducting exhaustive research to identify the people, route, and places mentioned in the journal. Sidebars on a wide variety of related issues include coverage of politics and the Battle of Averasboro, where one of the surgeonÕs sons was shot. An extensive introduction covers the military situation in and around Charleston that led to the evacuation described so vividly by Surgeon Robertson, and an epilogue summarizes what happened to the diary characters after the war.

This book is a restatement of the life and teachings of Jesus as recorded in the New Testament Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Like an earlier effort by Thomas Jefferson, who produced The Jefferson Bible in the early 1800's, its purpose is to distill from the Scriptures only those verses truly portraying the life and teachings of Jesus. Each major event in his life is treated individually, and then arranged in chronological order. Thus, it presents the story of Jesus as it actually took place, from birth through death and resurrection. This format promotes a better understanding of Jesus' real life and original gospel of the kingdom. Helpful explanatory notes are generously supplied. An exhaustive index is included so that readers can easily find what Jesus said concerning any topic. It also provides a listing of Jesus' parables, miracles, and teachings that outline his philosophy of living.
A great source of comfort and guidance, this thoughtful book includes more than 2,500 promises taken straight from the Word of God, written in easy-to-understand NKJV text.
