Summary

Ester Ried Yet Speaking, penned by Pansy (the pen name of Isabella Alden), is an evocative continuation of the stirring story of Ester Ried, a young woman navigating the complexities of faith, individuality, and societal expectations. The narrative employs a blend of realistic dialogue and rich descriptive passages, situating itself within the late 19th-century literary context characterized by a burgeoning interest in moralistic themes and women's issues. This second installment delves deeper into Ester's inner struggles and reconciling her personal aspirations with her commitment to her community and faith, all while exemplifying the didactic storytelling typical of Pansy's oeuvre, aiming to inspire and challenge the reader's perception of virtue and resilience. Isabella Alden was herself a prominent figure in the late 19th-century literary landscape, advocating for women's rights and moral responsibility. Her background in a deeply religious household heavily influenced her writings. Alden's firsthand experiences with social upheaval and the expectations placed upon women motivated her to create compelling narratives that address these issues. In Ester Ried Yet Speaking, Alden further fleshes out her protagonist with a depth that mirrors her own active engagement in the world around her. Readers with a penchant for historical fiction intertwined with profound moral teachings will find Ester Ried Yet Speaking an enlightening read. Pansy's masterful storytelling not only provides entertainment but also invites introspection on essential societal values, making it a valuable addition to the canon of American literature.

    Six months in the top 100 of Christian Discipleship on Amazon, and four months in the top 50! 
How do I know if what I hear from God is really from God? How can I know if I am truly redeemed? How can I tell what emotions come from me, and what come from the Holy Spirit? 
In a classic work that has only become more and more relevant, Jonathan Edwards delivers a masterful summation of what it means to be a true Christian. Learn how to distinguish the words of the Holy Spirit from the whisperings of the flesh as Edwards dissects the tendencies of the false Christian and lays bare the characteristics of a true regeneration in Christ. 
Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) has been called the greatest philosophical theologian America ever produced. He played a critical role in the Great Awakening of the 1730's and 1740's, and was the first president of the college that later became Princeton University. His sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is considered by many to be the most influential sermon ever preached in the United States, and his theological writings provided the foundation for many abolitionist teachers and preachers of the 18th and 19th centuries. 
Draw near to God in a new way and adore Him for who He is as you enjoy the razor-sharp reasoning of one of the world's greatest theologians, now delivered in clear, modern prose!

    An insider's true story of the "Orgasm cult” - written in the shadow of the 2025 federal conviction. 
At twenty-four, he was broke, anxious, and sexually dysfunctional. A postcard advertising a "Meetup on Female Orgasm" seemed absurd. He went anyway. What he found changed everything. 
Within months, he transformed from socially awkward to confident "stroker" living in an orgasm commune in Manhattan. The women were radiant and sexually empowered. The men possessed an almost supernatural ability to "feel" what others wanted. Every conversation was vulnerable. Every moment alive with sensation. It felt like he'd found the cheat codes to human connection. 
But there was a price he couldn't see yet. 
This raw, untold memoir reveals the real story not covered in Netflix's Orgasm Inc. 
The Netflix documentary told you it was a cult. 
The Bloomberg investigation exposed the crimes. 
The FBI built the case. 
But no one has shown you how it actually worked from the inside - until now. 
This is the primary source account. Two years inside at the peak. 
The complete psychological architecture of how intelligent people get seduced, transformed, and nearly destroyed. 
Not a victim interview looking back. 
The story shows how intelligent people get trapped in high-control groups. How the same methods used to help people can be weaponized to control them. How trauma and transformation can be impossible to separate. 
This is the nuanced, uncomfortable truth that most coverage misses.

    The Girl from Montego Bay is the autobiography of trailblazer Rose Hudson-Wilkin, Britain's first black woman bishop, who has been right at the heart of a changing nation for over forty years.As a student, Rose had a poster over her desk that read: 'Do not go where the path leads. Instead, go where there is no path and leave a trail.'And she does! Offering eye-opening insights into her humble and challenging beginnings in Jamaica, Rose charts her call to train as an evangelist at the Church Army College in London, where she met her future husband, Ken. Captivatingly open to the nudging of the Spirit, Rose simply has a go at everything that comes her way. The discrimination she's faced, due to her gender and minority-ethnic background, is very real. Yet Rose's infectious energy and humour shine through stories of her beloved Hackney, the ten years she ministered to (sometimes wayward) colleagues in Parliament, and her joy at playing a major role in the Coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla in 2023.Rose discloses that if there's one thing she would like to see change in her lifetime, it's that accomplishments like hers stop being 'firsts' and simply become normal.Appointed MBE in the 2020 New Year Honors for 'services to young people and the Church', and listed in the 2020 and 2021 Power list of the 100 the most influential people in the UK of African/African-Caribbean descent, Rose discloses that if there’s one thing she would like to see change in her lifetime, it's that accomplishments like hers stop being 'firsts' and simply become normal.

    One of the first bestsellers in history. A famous French painter, love-struck Scotsman, and mysterious Egyptian princess form a love triangle replete with mystery, tourists, hieroglyphs, revenge, and day trips to the pyramids, leading to an inevitable dark ending...Marie Corelli, the Victorian novelist  beloved of Gladstone, Churchill and Victoria herself, topped the bestseller charts through her whole career. This tale of romance, mystery, and foolish tourism was published in 1897, the same year in which Bram Stoker wrote Dracula.

    An Introduction to the Theology of Colossians and Philemon by Kevin W. McFadden
Is our hope in the gospel of Christ sufficient for our every need? After reflecting on this question during periods of difficult earthly circumstances, Paul wrote two letters to the church at Colossae to express the hidden hope "laid up for you in heaven" (Colossians 1:5) and found in the person of Christ.
