Mary of Plymouth - A Story of the Pilgrim Settlement

James Otis

Sinopse

In "Mary of Plymouth," James Otis masterfully weaves a narrative that explores the trials and tribulations faced by early settlers in New England, particularly through the eyes of Mary, a young girl navigating the challenges of a new world. The book, composed in a vivid and accessible prose style, encapsulates the spirit of pioneer life at the turn of the 17th century, blending historical fact with engaging fiction. Otis's rich descriptions and character-driven storytelling not only illuminate the hardships endured by the Pilgrims but also celebrate the resilience and hope that fueled their endeavors, offering readers a window into the complexities of early American life. James Otis was an established author and advocate for historical education, with a penchant for writing children's literature that emphasizes moral lessons and historical events. Born into a family with deep roots in American history and politics, Otis was compelled by the narratives of America's founding and the significance of individual experiences within these larger historical contexts. His intimate knowledge of the early colonial period informs the authenticity found within the pages of "Mary of Plymouth." This poignant tale is highly recommended for readers of all ages, especially those interested in American history, children's literature, and the themes of perseverance and community. Otis'Äôs engaging storytelling will not only entertain but also spark a curiosity about the lives of the early settlers, making it a valuable addition to both personal libraries and educational curricula.

The Mystery of Christ the Bible...

Neville Goddard, ALIO Publishing...

12 lectures. 12 wisdoms. 12 revelations. Welcome to the great unveiling of the Mystery of Christ, courtesy of one of the 20th century's greatest New Thought teachers, Neville Goddard.
"It’s all about you, because it’s all about God, and you are God asleep."
Neville is well known as one of the most influential teachers of the Law of Assumption (where one assumes the thing desired in order to bring it about in reality), a predecessor to the Law of Attraction. What's not-so well known, is his status as a metaphysical teacher of biblical principles & scripture.
Goddard frequently hosted community gatherings where he shared his knowledge of The Holy Bible, The Word, God, and Jesus Christ. Sometimes controversial, and always impactful, Neville pulled no punches in his candid messages with the intention to inspire every woman and man to seek their own self-liberation, and find Christ from within.
"Everyone has the same power. Because one has millions does not make him any more a creator than you are."
With this collection of teachings, rarely has so much wisdom been rendered this raw and accessible. As one of our greatest modern teachers concerning matters of God, self, and spirituality, Neville reigns as a shining pioneer of manifestation, LOA, and law of assumption. His words have been preserved here, for the deep benefit of all who will receive them.
Neville Goddard lectures in this volume:
Good Friday
The Crucifixion
The Bread & the Wine

Anglo-Catholic Church Planting -...

John Wallace

John Wallace discusses church planting in the Anglo-Catholic wing of the Church of England as a piece of Practical Theology and engages also with areas of missiology and ecclesiology.

 
He engages extensively with literature around church planting and the tension between the Fresh Expressions agenda, of which church planting is one element, and the traditional role of the historic parish and its church.

 
The author also looks at specific historical Anglo-Catholic literature in order to make a comparison between Victorian builders of new churches and church planting today. He describes his fieldwork in three church plants, set up by Anglo-Catholic parishes, monthly over a period of 18 months, and detailed descriptions of these plants and his engagement with them are provided together with suggestions for further action.
