With Bridget in the Holy Land

Luca Cesarini

Sinopsis

Bridget of Sweden was one of the best-travelled women of the Middle Ages. From her native Sweden, she went to Rome and later to the Holy Land.

 
Luca Cesarini describes her journey, the circumstances that led to her setting out, the people she met en route, encounters with Islam, and the experience of pilgrims in the fourteenth century. The book also includes some of Bridget’s own accounts of the visions she had during her journey, not least of the nativity of Christ, which would change the depiction of the Christmas crib in Christian art for ever.

 
In an accessible and entertaining way, this book describes not only Bridget’s own life and travels but also enables modern-day readers to look at popular pilgrimage destinations through the eyes of a medieval woman.

One Blood - One Race One Origin...

Ken Ham

In a culture divided by race, identity, and competing ideologies, One Blood delivers a bold, biblical response to one of today’s most divisive issues. 
 
In this fully updated and expanded edition, Ken Ham goes beyond surface-level solutions to uncover the true root of racism. Starting in Genesis, he traces humanity to our shared origin in Adam and Eve and reveals that there is only one human race, united both biologically and biblically. 
 
With compelling insight from genetics, history, and theology, Ham explains how evolutionary thinking helped fuel racial division and why modern cultural solutions continue to fall short. He then points readers to the only foundation that restores true unity, dignity, and identity: the truth of God’s Word and the saving gospel of Jesus Christ. 
 
Building on One Race, One Blood, this revised edition includes updated cultural analysis, expanded content, and fresh application for today’s rapidly shifting worldview landscape. 
 
Inside, you’ll discover:Why modern science confirms there is only one human raceHow evolutionary ideas historically contributed to racism and divisionWhat Scripture teaches about human identity, value, and unityWhy cultural solutions alone cannot solve racismA clear, gospel-centered answer that brings lasting hope 
 
Direct, thought-provoking, and deeply relevant, One Blood equips believers to stand confidently on biblical truth in today’s cultural conversations.

German Literary History for...

Christian Möhlenkamp

This book is intended for readers who are looking for an introduction to the confusing diversity of German literature. The chronological order chosen is best suited for this purpose because, in contrast to topic- or genre-oriented ordering procedures, it shows a genesis and traces the genealogy of German literature. The fact that Goethe's novel Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre would most likely have looked completely different without Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen's Simplicissimus can be shown most easily and effectively in the context of a chronologically presented journey through time. And this is only one of many examples, especially in the field of poetry quite a few more could be found.

"He who knows how to read holds the key to great deeds, to undreamed-of possibilities," Aldous Huxley once said. This book is intended to open up some of these possibilities for you.
