Summary

Jean-Henri Merle d'Aubign√©'s monumental work, "History of the Reformation in the Sixteenth Century," spans five volumes, meticulously chronicling the tumultuous period of religious upheaval that reshaped Europe. D'ÄôAubign√© employs a narrative style that blends meticulous research with vivid storytelling, situating the Reformation within the broader tapestry of European history. His examination delves deep into the lives of pivotal figures, such as Martin Luther and John Calvin, as well as the socio-political forces that catalyzed the movement. This scholarly piece not only presents a wealth of historical data but also engages with the philosophical underpinnings of Protestant thought, capturing the fervor and complexity of the era. Merle d'ÄôAubign√©, a Swiss historian and theologian born in 1794, drew upon his deep-rooted Protestant beliefs and personal experiences in the wake of the Reformation to craft this extensive narrative. His commitment to elucidating the spiritual and moral imperatives that fueled the Reformation is evident throughout his work. A passionate advocate for religious liberty, d'Aubign√©'s approach is informed by both his scholarly pursuits and his conviction that history should serve as a moral guide. This comprehensive study is essential for anyone seeking to understand the intricate dynamics of the Reformation and its lasting impact on modern society. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find in d'Aubign√©'Äôs volumes not only a wealth of knowledge but also an invitation to reflect on the enduring implications of this pivotal moment in history.

Jennie Cyr disappeared in 1977. Jerilyn Towers vanished in 1982. Lynn Willette never came home on a night in 1994. Each woman had a relationship with James Hicks, who in 2000 confessed to murdering them, dismembering their bodies, and burying the remains alongside rural roads in Aroostook County. This is their story. 
 
 
 
Author Trudy Irene Scee follows Hicks from the North Woods to west Texas, detailing three decades of evasion, investigation, and prosecution. She interviews police officers and victims' families—and meets Hicks at the state prison in Thomaston, where he remains remorseless as he lives out his days behind bars. Thoroughly researched and carefully documented, Tragedy in the North Woods is the definitive history of one of Maine's most ruthless killers.

    The Practice and Theory of...

    Alfred Adler

    Though psychologist Alfred Adler (1870-1937) does not have the wider recognition accorded Freud and Jung, his work and ideas had an enduring effect on the practice and development of psychotherapy in the 20th century. This collection of 28 lectures and essays, published under the title The Practice and Theory of Individual Psychology (published in 1924), brings together many of his main ideas. 
Adler was initially best known for his interest in the inferiority complex and its effect on the personality and subsequent behaviour of individuals. But his focus became increasingly concerned with the particular observation that it was the social environment of individuals that had a more fundamental influence on behavioural patterns than over-arching theories on sex, symbolism, archetypes and the like. He has been described as the first ‘community psychologist.’ This contributed considerably to the growth of schools of psychotherapy in the second half of the 20th century and their proliferation in the 21st. In fact, one historian has commented, “It would not be easy to find another author from which so much has been borrowed on all sides without acknowledgement than Alfred Adler.’ 
The topics covered in this collection are varied and date from the pre- and post World War I period. It opens with Individual Psychology, its Assumptions and its Results (1914) and includes Individual-Psychological Treatment of Neuroses (1913), The Study of Child Psychology and Neurosis (1913), Nervous Insomnia (1914), Compulsion Neurosis (1918), Dreams and Dream-Interpretation (1912), and Demoralized Children (1920). 
His range is wide: Among them are essays such as Neurotic Hunger Strike and New Viewpoint of War Neuroses, both concerns that regularly feature in newspapers and public discussion today. As a contrast, he offers interesting observations on the writing of Dostoyevsky, and one particular case of the suicide of a prominent 19th century Austrian politician. 
This recording also contains (Chapter XIV) the 1918 lecture Homo-sexuality which Adler gave to the Jurististisch-Medizinische Gesellschaft of Zurich. It represents views widely held by the society of the time, which are now unacceptable. The chapter is nevertheless included here for historical purposes.

    Imagine being cut off from the world, perched atop a mountain turned into a deadly flood zone by Hurricane Helene's fury. For Emma Churchman and her husband Jeff, this nightmare became reality in September 2024. For three harrowing days, their loved ones had no idea if they were alive.
But surviving was just the beginning.
When they finally fought their way down three miles of treacherous terrain, they found their small mountain community of Gerton, NC transformed. Without power, phones, or internet, their neighborhood teetered between chaos and unity. As lawlessness emerged and desperation mounted, Emma made a choice that would change everything: to transform her fear into a fierce kind of love.
With raw honesty and unexpected humor, Emma chronicles her role as a trauma chaplain in a community forced to build itself anew. Her powerful mantra becomes a lifeline not just for her, but for an entire community learning to trust again.
"I am safe. I am warm. I am fed. I am loved"
Part survival story, part love letter to human resilience, this unforgettable memoir shows us what's possible when crisis strips away our differences and reveals our shared humanity. In a world increasingly divided, Emma's story reminds us that our greatest strength lies not in our independence but in our connections to each other.
With over twenty-five years of experience as a spiritual and business leader, Emma M. Churchman, MDiv, has guided thousands through the labyrinth of trauma to reclaim hope and strength. Her powerful work as a trauma chaplain and mentor is rooted in her own journey of overcoming childhood adversity.
