In "The Christmas City: Bethlehem Across the Ages," Lewis Gaston Leary presents a compelling exploration of the historical and religious significance of Bethlehem, weaving together rich narratives that span millennia. Through a meticulous examination of texts, archaeological findings, and cultural practices, Leary captures the essence of Bethlehem not only as a geographical location but as a profound symbol of faith and hope. His literary style beautifully balances scholarly rigor with accessible prose, making the book both informative and engaging for readers across various backgrounds. The work sits firmly within the context of Christian literature and historical studies, fostering a deeper understanding of the city that remains central to the narrative of the Nativity and the Christian faith. Lewis Gaston Leary's academic pursuits and personal convictions notably influenced his writing of this book. A scholar with deep roots in religious studies and history, Leary's passion for the intersection of culture and spirituality informed his comprehensive approach to Bethlehem's past. His experiences in theological education and research lend authority to his insights, particularly as he delves into the socio-political changes that have shaped the region across the ages. This book invites readers to embark on an enlightening journey through time, linking them with the often-overlooked narratives of a city that continues to resonate across cultures. Ideal for both casual readers and serious scholars, "The Christmas City" is a profound addition to the literature on Bethlehem, perfect for those seeking to understand the rich tapestry of history surrounding this emblematic locale.

This book will help you build an effective and functioning communication channel for childhood and preadolescence, a difficult time for both parents and children (especially children). During preadolescence, the relationship between parents and children changes, and communication can deteriorate drastically.

    Chesapeake oysters are part of the legacy of the area, history on the half-shell. Hear of their beginning (foot-long bivalves!) through cultivation today. 
     
     
     
    The eastern oyster, the humble bivalve and delicious treat, are the living bones of the Chesapeake, as well as the ecological and historical lifeblood of the region. When colonists first sailed these impossibly abundant shores, they described massive shoals of foot-long oysters but the bottomless appetite of the Gilded Age and great fleets of skipjacks took their toll. Disease, environmental pressures and overconsumption decimated the population by the end of the twentieth century. While Virginia turned to bottom-leasing, passionate debate continues in Maryland among scientists and oystermen whether aquaculture or wild harvesting is the better way forward. Today, boutique oyster farming in the Bay is sustainably meeting the culinary demand of a new generation of connoisseurs. With careful research and interviews with experts, author Kate Livie presents this dynamic story and a glimpse of what the future may hold.

    The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell

    William Blake

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell is a book by the English poet and printmaker William Blake. It is a series of texts written in imitation of biblical prophecy but expressing Blake's own intensely personal Romantic and revolutionary beliefs. Like his other books, it was published as printed sheets from etched plates containing prose, poetry, and illustrations. The plates were then coloured by Blake and his wife Catherine. It opens with an introduction of a short poem entitled "Rintrah roars and shakes his fires in the burden'd air". William Blake claims that John Milton was a true poet and his epic poem Paradise Lost was "of the Devil's party without knowing it". He also claims that Milton's Satan was truly his Messiah. The work was composed between 1790 and 1793, in the period of radical ferment and political conflict during the French Revolution. The title is an ironic reference to Emanuel Swedenborg's theological work Heaven and Hell, published in Latin 33 years earlier. Swedenborg is directly cited and criticised by Blake in several places in the Marriage. Though Blake was influenced by his grand and mystical cosmic conception, Swedenborg's conventional moral strictures and his Manichaean view of good and evil led Blake to express a deliberately depolarised and unified vision of the cosmos in which the material world and physical desire are equally part of the divine order; hence, a marriage of heaven and hell. The book is written in prose, except for the opening "Argument" and the "Song of Liberty". The book describes the poet's visit to Hell, a device adopted by Blake from Dante's Divine Comedy and Milton's Paradise Lost."
