Synopsis

Madison & Adams Press presents the Civil War Memories Series. This meticulous selection of the firsthand accounts, memoirs and diaries is specially comprised for Civil War enthusiasts and all people curious about the personal accounts and true life stories of the unknown soldiers, the well known commanders, politicians, nurses and civilians amidst the war. 
Detailed Minutiae of Soldier Life in the Army of Northern Virginia is not a classical memoir work from the Civil War. Author did not want to write exclusively about his experience in the war, even though he drew on his time in the army for several chapters. Instead, he wanted to underscore the importance of common Confederate soldiers within Lost Cause memory.The Lost Cause of the Confederacy is an ideological assertion made by many Confederate veterans which claimed that the cause of the Confederate States during the American Civil War was just, heroic, and not centered on slavery.

First published in 1910, a hundred years later it inspired Rhonda Byrne's bestselling book and movie, The Secret. According to Wallace D. Wattles, "There is a science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches; once these laws are learned and obeyed by any man, he will get rich with mathematical certainty."

    Every day life can be challenging for a normal person juggling work, school, a family, and home, not to mention the unexpected things that can financially and mentally add additional stress. As we age, we all learn how to cope and deal with life's challenges. Now imagine you’re 8 8-year-old who has lost his mother, who he loved dearly, and has no home or money. The only thing he owns is the clothes on his back. The one solid thing that he can call his own is his superior knowledge and his desire to continue to learn. Zack doesn’t realize he is above average; he looks at himself as a kid on the street who no one would be willing to help or take in. He’s also decided that he will not be taken to a foster home that he wouldn’t survive, but that he would do whatever it takes to survive living on the streets. As time goes on, everyone who meets and talks to Zack is quite touched by him. He’s never rude or mean to anyone and is very appreciative of the little things in life. He knows his life isn’t normal like everyone else, but he accepts that. He makes the most of what he does have and what’s available to him without taking advantage of anything or anyone. Follow his four-year journey from having nothing to accomplishing something that no one thought possible. His story and his life are both an incredible inspiration.

    Posting the Word tells of the story of how Chris Harris, a laicised priest, managed, against all the odds, to set up a successful adult religious education course by distance learning. Life Light Home Study Courses grew over nearly half a century into a facility which has enabled thousands of mostly lay Catholic students to develop their biblical and theological literacy. A very large number of these have moved on to positions of responsibility for RE in schools and parishes.
    
     
    In the background lies a human story which unfolded in a succession of different settings: monastic, seminary, university, school, home and parish. The challenges confronted along this winding road are here described in some detail.
    
     
    Of particular interest is the contribution made by Chris and his wife Heather to the spirituality of Christian married life. Both had a deep appreciation of religious life and sought to lay the foundations of a complementary and equally rich spirituality for married people.
    
     
    Posting the Word offers a fascinating insight into lived Catholicism before and after the Second Vatican Council and also into the history of adult theological education within the Roman Catholic Church.
