Chapters include: The Craft of Writing, including language, diction, style and emphasis; The Virtues of Writing, including brevity, simplicity, variety and significant detail; The Graces of Writing, including sense, appeal, irony, imagery and rhythem, and The Art of Writing, including enthusiasm, restraint and sincerity.” |

”Their object is to strengthen the Moslem and repress the Christian”: Henry Jessup and the Presbyterian mission to Syria under Abdul Hamid II. $49.99 Henry Jessup and the American Presbyterian Mission to Syria faced a new challenge in 1885 when the Ottoman authorities closed various American schools there. Jessup, the Secretary of the American mission, responded with a rhetorical campaign against the Ottoman impositions that portrayed the policies of Abdul Hamid II’s administration as new, pro-Muslim, anti-Christian, and designed to replace American missionary institutions in Syria with Muslim institutions backed by Ottoman force. While some of Jessup’s writing while in Syria from 1856 to 1910 was polemical, his writing surrounding the school controversy in the 1880s rather reflected the historical context of local and foreign educational competition in Syria that now included Ottoman initiatives against foreign institutions who presented a threat to Ottoman-Islamic imperial discipline. This thesis seeks to contextualize Jessup’s writing to portray 1885 as a watershed in the history of a mission whose evangelistic efforts were then successfully limited by Ottoman reforms. |

‘And So We Came to Rome ‘: The Political Perspective of St Luke $35 It has often been suggested that Luke’s two volumes were written as an apology for Christianity, to demonstrate to the Roman authorities that the new faith was not a dangerous and subversive innovation, a threat to the Pax Romana and to Roman rule. This book reviews the development of the ‘traditional perspective’, then raises some questions, e.g. if Luke was writing an apologia pro ecclesia, why does he include so much material politically damaging to the Christian cause? Is it possible that the approach has been made from the wrong angle, that Luke was writing an apologia not pro ecclesia but pro imperio, to assure his fellow Christians that Church and Empire need not fear or suspect each other? This conclusion is then supported by an investigation of the text of Luke-Acts, particularly the trials of Jesus and Paul. This challenging volume will be of interest to students and scholars of the New Testament and to ecclesiastical and Roman historians. |

(Re)writing identity: New literacy practices among the Prai of northern Thailand. $49.99 This study presents the literacy practices of an ethnic minority group called the Prai who live in northern Thailand and Laos. New literacy practices of reading and writing Prai were first introduced to the Prai in the 1990's and today there are twenty adult readers of Prai among the estimated 20,000 Prai in Thailand. All readers of Prai participated in this study thereby providing a unique and comprehensive look at literacy practices in the Prai language. Secondarily, this study reaches beyond an ethnographic description of literacy practices to understand the relationship between literacy practices and Prai ethnic identity. The findings of this study show everyday literacy practices for the Prai as well as a comprehensive look at literacy practices in the Prai language. The Prai face many challenges including an educational system and a given ethnic identity that marginalizes Prai language and culture. Despite many difficulties, twenty Prai readers have adapted reading and writing Prai to home, work and Christian literacy types in creative and culturally appropriate ways. New literacy practices have influenced conceptions of language and ethnic identity among the Prai. In addition, select Prai readers use literacy to form Prai ethnic identity or to contest the identity they are given by the Thai. Conclusions show that the source of new literacy practices and the introduction of Prai literacy have influenced conceptions and uses of Prai literacy. Prai literacy is perceived to be a Christian practice and is largely relegated to the private sphere. Reading Prai is valued over writing Prai. Gender and education influence who uses Prai literacy to form Prai ethnic identity and contest given ethnic identity. As a trend, Prai women with fewer than six years of Thai school are more likely to use Prai literacy to form or contest Prai ethnic identity. These Prai readers have become local agents and ambassadors of literacy who create and sustain new literacy practices. |

Excerpt: The 150s decade ran from January 1, 150, to December 31, 159.Events and trends Significant people A hyperlinked version of this chapter is at The First Apology was an early work of Christian apologetics addressed by Justin Martyr to the Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius . It is dated to the period 150-155.Purpose for writing The purpose of the Apology is to prove to the emperors, renowned as upright and philosophical men, the importance of Christianity. Chapters i.-xii. give the preliminary negative proof; chap. xiii. begins a positive exposition of Christianity: that Christians are the true worshipers of God, the Creator of all things; they offer him the only sacrifices worthy of him, those of prayer and thanksgiving, and are taught by his Son, to whom they assign a place next in honor to him; this teaching leads them to perfect morality, as shown in their teacher’s words and their own lives, and founded on their belief in the resurrection.Dating of the text The Dialogue is a later work than the First Apology ; the date of composition of the latter, from the fact that it was addressed to Antoninus Pius , Marcus Aurelius , and Lucius Verus , must fall between 147 and 161. The reference to Felix as governor of Egypt, since this can only be the Lucius Munatius Felix whom the Oxyrhynchus papyri name as prefect September 13, 151, fixes the date still more exactly. The Chronicon of Eusebius gives 152-153 as the date of the attacks of Crescens . What is designated as the Second Apology was written as a supplement to the first, on account of certain proceedings which had in the mean time taken place in Rome before Lollius Urbicus as prefect of the city, which must have been between 150 and 157.Doctrine of the Logos The doctrine of the Logos begotten of flesh is specially emphasized. |

Excerpt: Benedictus Deus is a papal bull written by Pius V in 1564 which ratified all decrees and definitions of the Council of Trent . It enjoins strict obedience upon all Catholics and forbids, under pain of excommunication, all unauthorized interpretation. There is a more minor bull written by Benedict XII in 1336.A hyperlinked version of this chapter is at The Enchiridion, Manual, or Handbook of Dietrich Philips is alternatively titled, “THE HAND BOOK OF THE Christian Doctrine and Religion, compiled (by the grace of God) from the Holy Scriptures for the benefit of all lovers of the Truth” . The Enchiridion had passed through numerous editions in the Dutch — in which it was originally written and published — and later in German as well as in French. The Enchiridion (first Dutch ed. 1564, many Dutch and German reprints) contains the tract Een lieffelycke Vermaninghe (van den ban) first printed in 1558, a most vigorous defense of strict avoidance. A second writing on the subject, Naeghelaten Schrift van Ban ends Mydinghe , first published in Dutch in 1602 attached to his Van die Echt der Christenen , was also reprinted in both Dutch and German.Enchiridion contains five letters and eleven treatises and retains influence with conservative Anabaptist sects, including the Amish and some Mennonite groups, who cite its clarity on matters of church discipline, such as excommunication.References (URLs online) Websites (URLs online) A hyperlinked version of this chapter is at The Rondanini Pietà is a marble sculpture that Michelangelo worked on from the 1550s until the last weeks of his life, in 1564.

Excerpt: Reading Blue Coat School, Sonning-on-Thames Reading Blue Coat School is a boys’ independent school (and co-educational in the 6th form) in Holme Park in the village of Sonning , in the English county of Berkshire . It is situated beside the River Thames, and was established in 1646 by Richard Aldworth, who named it “Aldworth’s Hospital”.History Established in 1646 at the height of the English Civil War , a wealthy London merchant, Richard Aldworth of Stanlake Park , left the Corporation of Reading the sum of £4,000, the proceeds of which were to be devoted to “the education and upbringing of twenty poor male children, being the children of honest, religious poor men in the town of Reading.” From this bequest, which in 17th century terms was quite substantial, originated the Aldworth’s Hospital charity school now better known as the Reading Blue Coat School.Aldworth, who had been a governor of Christ’s Hospital in London, modelled the new foundation on his former school, the boys being required to wear the Bluecoat attire of gown, yellow stockings, and buckled shoes. Aldworth s Will further stipulated that the Master of the new school should be “an honest, Godly and learned man” who for his “paines” would receive a stipend of £30 a year. His duties were to include the instruction of reading, writing and ciphering and to “teach the Catechism in the points of Christian Religion.”The Talbot The School was originally accommodated in an old building situated at the corner of Silver Street and London Street known as ‘The Talbot’ in one of the oldest parts |

Mudge, Lewis Carhart, Enoch Mudge, Henry Boehm, Cyrus Prindle, Thomas H. Mudge,. Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: William Booth (10 April 1829 – 20 August 1912) was a British Methodist preacher who founded the Salvation Army and became its first General (1878-1912). The Christian movement, with a quasi-military structure and government – but with no physical weaponry – founded in 1865, has spread from London, England, to many parts of the world and is known for being one of the largest distributors of humanitarian aid. William was born in Sneinton, Nottingham, England, the only son of four surviving children born to Samuel Booth and Mary Moss.

21st Century Breakdown(Bonus Tracks) $52.98 Green Day’s long-awaited eighth studio album, entitled 21st Century Breakdown, has finally arrived. The album is the best-selling trio’s first studio album since 2004′s two-time Grammy Award-winning punk-rock opera American Idiot, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard chart, spawned five hit singles, and went on to sell more than 12 million copies worldwide.21st Century Breakdown is divided into three acts: Heroes and Cons, Charlatans and Saints, and Horseshoes and Handgrenades, and follows a young couple, Christian and Gloria, through the mess and promise of the century so far. Songs include Know Your Enemy, 21 Guns, East Jesus Nowhere, Before the Lobotomy, and Restless Heart Syndrome. In a recent feature, Rolling Stone called the album even more ambitious than American Idiot and a record of die-hard punk ideals…tightly scripted, continually ascending classic-rock excitement. Singer-guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tre Cool have been at work writing, arranging, and recording 21st Century Breakdown since early 2006 and are currently making finishing touches with producer Butch Vig, who is known for his work with Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Garbage, and many others. |

75 Years In The Wilderness $4.49 A retired high school teacher, Geraldean McMillin now lives in Jefferson City, Missouri, having moved there in 1956 after the death of her husband. She attended Lincoln University from 1962 to 1970, receiving a BS degree in secondary education and an MA in history. She began her teaching career and first taught history, government, and sociology, after which she taught economics for 16 years. Retiring in 1992, she has traveled to Antarctica once and multiple times to every other continent. In 1999 she authored a book, Wrestling with Life: The Wisdom and Wit of a Woman Wrestler, about her grandmother, a professional wrestler in the 1920s and 1930s. Currently she is beginning to study the sciences to fill a neglected gap in her education. She is the mother of three, a grandmother of six, and a great-grandmother of three. McMillin grew up in the Missouri Ozarks during the Great Depression. Her family was very poor, and life was difficult. Until she started school at age four, she had no books to read, not even the Bible. But her memories are not about being poor; they are about the abundance of love that was ever-present in her family. Despite the fact that religion was unimportant to her parents, they never objected when McMillin began her lifelong search to understand God. That quest led to the writing of 75 Years in the Wilderness: A Christian Agnostic’s Search for Answers. 75 Years in the Wilderness: A Christian Agnostic’s Search for Answers, written from a Christian perspective, is about a doubter’s passionate search for absolutes that begins in early childhood. McMillin, born into a non-religious family and wanting to know why God allows pain, turns to churchesfor answers, but finds only contentious diversity. Needing to broaden her search, she begins studying canonical as well as non-canonical Hebrew and Christian writings and adding history for context. Reading many kinds of secular and religious literature, conversing with people of many |

A Blessing In Flames $7.22 “Man what a gifted poet you are! I love your poems…and the way you write “in your face” with power, beauty, and sensitivity. Some of them just explode in my mind. You know words and you know how to make them, stand up an salute.”Steve Brown – Author, Professor – Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, FL, and Teacher. www.keylife.orgAlleluia!In this new collection of poems, Ron Cervero writes about Darkness being so heavy it tears his mind and flesh into pieces. Well…Mr. Cervero’s soul and poetry not only have seen the light, but also buried all darkness and now risen to the highest level of spiritual writing with this set of Contemporary Christian Poetry. I say he’s is a gift and inspiration to the world!A Blessing in Flames will lift your spirit to Heaven; it will take you closer to God.Jaime Ferreyros – Miami, FLThe author Ron Cervero has touched my heart and soul with his expressive and profound book of poetry. Emotionally stimulating bringing one to study his, at times mysterious work, one is left with wanting more, wanting to read between the lines of the personal thoughts within this author’s soul. Upon reading Mr. Cervero, I see the author being on the outside, learning to look in. His deep love of his God is moving, his faith unshakable, his love something to be connected with. In his poem ‘Box of Hope’ which I believe is the essence of this writer, is humbling giving insight to the mainframe of the poet. And finally, the poem ‘Love’, strikingly moving reveals to all that love is our answer to most that will ail us.Rhoda Galgiani – Long Island, NY |

A Body Of Divinity $25.99 Thomas Watson’s A Body of Divinity is a Puritan classic, using the Westminster Shorter Catechism as a starting point for an exploration of the central themes of the Christian faith. Watson’s writing style is interesting and well-organized. This book reminds me of J.C. Ryle’s Holiness, in that both approach their subjects in such a thorough way. Watson goes through one item of doctrine after another, answering key questions and showing the blessings of an area of doctrine along with some potential pitfalls. For example, Watson deals with a common objection to the sin of Adam and Eve by addressing this question . . . “Was it such a great matter to pluck an apple?” To which he then gives 10 reasons why the sin of Adam and Eve was so serious. This thorough treatment continues throughout the book, making it an indispensable tool for pastors and teachers. |

Cummings, he offers a startling collection of love poetry down through the ages.

Christian Writing
Can a Christian decides to write the music but not the music of worship?
One issue that concerns me a long time, sometimes I feel as if I have the ability to write music, I am compelled to write to God. But I want to be creative and express myself and write about feelings, people, and that everything is possible, I will not be limited to only write about my Saviour. But then I feel like an idiot because I do not want. I am a Christian, among other things, bad things? Please someone help me.
Being a Christian does not necessarily to write Christian Songs. However, I want to clarify by saying, do not write songs that spoils his testimony. Make sure the songs the glory of God, even if they are not Christian songs. I am a musician and not only play Christian songs, or play / sing only in Christian churches and concerts. However, I make sure that what I play / sing to the glory of God, and also that my testimony would be pure, where I play. Is this useful?
