A companion to Mr Wells's "Outline of history"

Hilaire Belloc

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "A Companion to Mr. Wells's 'Outline of History,'" Hilaire Belloc offers a meticulously crafted response and critique of H.G. Wells's ambitious historical narrative. This book is characterized by Belloc's rich, anecdotal prose, which intertwines scholarly analysis with a deeply personal perspective, reflecting the author's profound understanding of European history and culture. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century intellectual thought, Belloc seeks to address Wells's omissions and provide a more comprehensive view of historical events, focusing on themes such as religion, morality, and the evolution of civilization. Through thoughtful commentary and rigorous argumentation, Belloc establishes a dialogue with Wells's text, enriching the reader's understanding of history itself. Hilaire Belloc, an esteemed writer, historian, and political activist, possessed a unique ability to bridge the gap between literature and history. His experience as a fervent critic of materialism and his deep Catholic faith profoundly influenced his worldview and writing style. In crafting this companion piece, he draws on his extensive knowledge, travels, and personal convictions, offering a counter-narrative to Wells's secular interpretation of history. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in historical discourse, as well as those seeking an engaging exploration of ideological contrasts in early 20th-century literature. Belloc's compelling insights provide a thought-provoking supplement to Wells's work, making it an essential read for anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of historical interpretations.

Tyre & Carthage: The History of...

Editors Charles River

Across the eastern Mediterranean there has been discovered a great number of objects whose appearance or materials are extraneous to local cultures, whether it was an Egyptian amulet in Greece, a Greek vase in Africa, or thousands of strange amulets in Gibraltar. The remains are evidence that a huge amount of goods was once moved from one land to another, systematically transported and traded across the Mediterranean by the ancient commercial network of the Phoenicians. Beginning in the 13th century BCE, and lasting for more than a millennium, this civilization dominated the most important body of water known to the ancients. With their formidable ships and skills in trading, they made a name for themselves by trading between Egypt, Greece, Rome, Carthage, Sardinia, Spain, and eventually all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, establishing themselves as the undisputed lords of the sea.  
One of the most crucial cities in the system was hidden beneath the Greek, Roman, and Crusader ruins of Lebanon: the ancient city of Tyre. "Seated at entrance to the sea," according to the prophet Ezekiel, Tyre was constructed on a purportedly impenetrable island. Tyre was considered to be one of the oldest and wealthiest metropolises of the world, and indeed, the city can be directly associated with some of the most important stages in the history of mankind. 
Although Carthage by far preferred to exert economic pressure and influence before resorting to direct military power (and even went so far as to rely primarily on mercenary armies paid with its vast wealth for much of its history, it nonetheless produced a number of outstanding generals, from the likes of Hanno Magnus to, of course, the great bogeyman of Roman nightmares himself: Hannibal. Carthage was able to go from a minor Phoenician settlement to one of the most powerful trading empires of antiquity.

I Do (I Think) - Conversations...

Allison Raskin

"Allison Raskin’s book unpacks the questions and uncertainties around marriage that so many of us have... a must-read for anyone and everyone that may be curious about the intricacies of modern marriage.” –Nick Viall, TV Personality, Host of The Viall Files, and Bestselling AuthorFrom Just Between Us cohost and bestselling author Allison Raskin comes a witty, incisive take on modern marriage and how a new generation can navigate its uncertainties and questions.Marriage rates may be on the decline, but that doesn’t mean marriage is disappearing from society. In fact, as modern relationship norms and structures continue to evolve, the public discourse about marriage has never been louder—or more conflicted. Divorce rates, the appeal of cohabitation, seemingly infinite options for future partners, the patriarchal roots of marriage and gender roles, and economic uncertainty are just a few factors that leave a new generation of single and dating adults wondering. What does marriage even look like now? Why do people still do it? And, most importantly, is it “for me”?With conversational wit and compassion, bestselling author Allison Raskin draws on new research, interviews with licensed experts, and the stories of real-life couples to break down the many pieces of today’s “marriage conversation”—and to make the leap of faith a little less scary for Gen Z and millennial adults like herself. What emerges is a thoughtful investigation into our cultural assumptions about commitment, compatibility, divorce, meaningful partnership, the future of marriage—and what it really means to join your bank accounts.

Claimed by the Pharaoh (Gay...

Archer Vale

The mummy’s curse…it’s far stranger than I could’ve ever imagined. 
The pharaoh brought me to the royal palace. He selected me as his newest servant. 
He wrapped me from head to toe. I can’t see. I can barely hear. There’s only one part of my body that’s been left exposed. 
That sensitive, intimate region is my sole connection to the outside world. 
And the pharaoh uses it. He uses it hard. 
We’re performing a dark, forbidden ritual. The longer I stay like this, the deeper I sink. My body is transforming for my master. Like a butterfly wrapped in a cocoon, I’m morphing into something truly beautiful. 
Something truly shocking.

Tame Your Thoughts - Three Tools...

Max Lucado

NOW A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!Read by the author.When was the last time you awakened to a swirl of anxious, out-of-control thoughts?Perhaps you were overwhelmed with the weight of worry, the fear of failing, or the grip of guilt. The way we think directly impacts our joy and peace. In Tame Your Thoughts, Max Lucado provides three biblical and practical tools to renew your mind and transform your life.
Our thoughts have consequences. Most people would agree that positive thoughts generate positive actions. Negative thoughts activate negative behavior. But do we understand that we can manage our lives by managing our thoughts? Not only does neuroscience back this concept, but the idea is also embedded throughout Scripture. "Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind" (Rom.12:2 esv). Tame your thoughts and transform your life!
In Tame Your Thoughts, bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado explores three key thought management tools and then applies them to the most common thought problems: anxiety, guilt, rejection, and others. God loves us too much to let us lead a life marked by poor thinking. He made our brains; he can retrain our brains. God has not left us alone in this battle of the mind.Stuck in your head? Hounded by regrets? Weighed down by worry? Change is possible! The thoughts that have characterized your past need not characterize the rest of your life. You will learn to:Take thoughts captiveTest each message against the truth of ScriptureInterrupt poisonous thought threadsThink and act like Jesus If God can resurrect the dead, can he not resurrect hope? Defy depression? Clarify confusion? Silence shame? Destroy doubt? Banish bitterness?Take God at his word. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" (2 Tim. 1:7 nkjv, emphasis added). With God as their helper, you will discover a new way of thinking and a better way of living. A new person will begin to emerge.We can tame each thought, friends.
Figures, reflection questions, and a scripture database can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.
