Paperback. Condition: Very Good. On February 24, 1838, Maine Congressman Jonathan Cilley was killed in Maryland by another Congressman from Kentucky in one of the last duels to take place in the United States. At the time, dueling was not illegal, but still Cilley's death was a shock to the nation. Before the duel, fought with rifles at less than one hundred paces, Cilley is believed to have said, New England must not be trampled on. He fought for the honor of his name, the honor of his home state, and the stout patriotism he held all his life. This revealing biography considers Cilley's short life: his early years in New Hampshire, his time at Bowdoin College and his friendship with Nathaniel Hawthorn, his marriage and political life, the events that caused him to accept the duel challenge, and the duel itself, with its tragic aftermath. It also provides an intriguing look into the politics of nineteenth century America. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. Jonathan Edwards is one of the most extraordinary figures in American history. Arguably the most brilliant theologian ever born on American soil, Edwards (1703-1758) was also a pastor, a renowned preacher, a missionary to the Native Americans, a biographer, a college president, a philosopher, a loving husband, and the father of eleven children.George M. Marsden -- widely acclaimed for his magisterial large study of Edwards -- has now written a new, shorter biography of this many-sided, remarkable man. A Short Life of Jonathan Edwards is not an abridgment of Marsden's earlier award-winning study but is instead a completely new narrative based on his extensive research. The result is a concise, fresh retelling of the Edwards story, rich in scholarship yet compelling and readable for a much wider audience, including students.Known best for his famous sermon -Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, - Jonathan Edwards is often viewed as a proponent of fire, brimstone, and the wrath of God. As Marsden shows, however, the focus of Edwards's preaching was not God's wrath but rather his overwhelming and all-encompassing love. Marsden also rescues Edwards from the high realms of intellectual history, revealing him more comprehensively through the lens of his everyday life and interactions. Further, Marsden shows how Edwards provides a window on the fascinating and often dangerous world of the American colonies in the decades before the American Revolution.Marsden here gives us an Edwards who illumines both American history and Christian theology, an Edwards that will appeal to readers with little or no training in either field. This short life will contribute significantly to the widespread and growing interest in Jonathan Edwards.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. The question of the afterlife is, for many today, one of preference. Christians trained to evangelize unsaved people with the query, If you were to die today, do you know where you would go--heaven or hell? have grown befuddled when met with the response, I don't believe in heaven or hell. Something in our culture has changed. The ground has shifted beneath our feet. We did not feel it. But change has come, just the same.We must reacquaint modern Christians with the eschatologically driven preaching and teaching of Edwards. This word eschatological may trip some readers up at first encounter, but it refers simply to last things, things of eternity and ultimate significance. We exhume Edwards' scripturally fired material on the reality of the afterlife, the terror of hell, the glories of heaven, and the shape life must take in light of these realities.If we accept the Word as our authority, and if we will allow Edwards to serve as our faithful and imaginative guide, we will find that God is alive. He is Lord of heaven and earth, the sovereign ruler of all Creation. He is not small. He can be found. He is not silent on the afterlife, and His testimony calls for our attention, our concern, and our whole-hearted worship and trust.Easily accessible and readable, you do not need to be a scholar to enjoy these insights about Jonathan Edwards and his writings.…

Paperback. Condition: Fair. At the dawn of the nineteenth century, two very different magicians emerge to change England's history. In the year 1806, with the Napoleonic Wars raging on land and sea, most people believe magic to be long dead in England--until the reclusive Mr. Norrell reveals his powers, and becomes a celebrity overnight. Yet the cautious, fussy Norrell is challenged by the emergence of another magician, the brilliant novice Jonathan Strange. Young, handsome, and daring, Strange is the very opposite of Norrell. He becomes Norrell s student, and they join forces in the war against France. But Strange is increasingly drawn to the wildest, most perilous forms of magic, straining his partnership with Norrell, and putting at risk everything else he holds dear.Time #1 Book of the YearBook Sense Book of the YearPeople Top Ten Books of the Year>Winner of the Hugo AwardNew York Times Notable Book of the YearSalon.com Top Ten of 2004Winner of the World Fantasy Award>Nancy Pearl s Top 12 Books of 2004>Washington Post Book World s Best of 2004>Christian Science Monitor Best Fiction 2004>San Francisco Chronicle Best Books of 2004>Winner of the Locus Award for Best First Novel>Chicago Tribune Best of 2004>Seattle Times 25 Best Books of 2004>Atlanta Journal-Constitution Top 12 Books of 2004>Village Voice Top Shelf>Raleigh News & Observer Best of 2004>Rocky Mountain News critics favorites of 2004.…
