Summary

In "Town Versus Country," Mary Russell Mitford embarks on a vivid exploration of the dichotomy between urban and rural life, encapsulating the essence of early 19th-century England. Through a series of poignant and richly detailed sketches, Mitford employs a conversational yet incisive literary style, merging realism with her characteristic wit. The work reflects the broader Romantic context of her time, capturing nature's sublime beauty while critiquing the burgeoning industrial society. Her keen observations invite readers to reflect on the contrasting virtues and vices of both realms, fostering an appreciation for the simpler, slower rhythms of country life amidst the hectic pace of the city. Mary Russell Mitford (1786-1855) was an influential English novelist and playwright who drew upon her upbringing in the pastoral village of Three Mile Cross. Her fondness for the countryside and its inhabitants heavily influenced her writing. Mitford's personal experiences, including her struggles with health and financial difficulties, shaped her perspective on the stark realities of both rural communities and urban societies, making her reflections deeply personal and relatable. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the historical nuances of English literature and the Romantic period. Mitford's insights resonate today, encouraging a critical examination of the values associated with urbanization and the pastoral ideal. Whether you are a scholar or a casual reader, "Town Versus Country" offers a timeless dialogue on the joys and challenges of both lifestyles.

    *****Audiobook format of The New Fight for Life - ECPA's 2024 Faith and Culture Award Nominee***** The battle over the constitutionality of Roe v. Wade may be over, but now a bigger fight lies ahead. For over half a century, pro-life advocates have fought to protect the sanctity of human life. Now that the decision the pro-life community has been waiting and praying for has finally become a reality, a question remains: Now what? How do we continue to stand for life for everyone who bears the image of God―from womb to tomb? And if abortion disproportionately impacts the poor and the marginalized, specifically Black Americans, why should we seize this new opportunity to make right what has gone terribly wrong? Benjamin Watson, author of Under Our Skin and a former NFL player who now serves as VP of strategic relationships with Human Coalition, a pro-life organization based in Dallas, wants to galvanize the church and the pro-life movement in this new era. In The New Fight for Life, Watson    leads us into a new understanding of pro-life advocacy,  shows how we can move past political debate and culture wars, and  envisions a new path forward that promotes life by committing to human flourishing and holistic justice.  We can create a culture where abortion is both unthinkable and unnecessary. How? By relentlessly pursuing a more just world―for everyone.

    We broke our new series on learning French down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise French.  
In Unit 1 you will hear French decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native French speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand French. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in French at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken French, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.
