  Mercy Brown Incident The: The...

  Today the Salem Witch Trials are often remembered as being a relic of a superstitious past, and Salem has transformed itself into a tourist haven and Halloween destination by capitalizing off the trials, which remain well known across America. However, most people have forgotten that New England had a “vampire” scare in the 19th century, when superstitious New Englanders looked to lore to explain tuberculosis, a devastating illness for which they had no available answers.  
  	The last and most famous event in New England’s hunt for vampires came near the end of the 19th century after Mercy Brown died of consumption on January 19, 1892 and her body was exhumed on March 17, 1892. Suspicion fell on her as being a possible vampire, and digging her coffin up was an attempt to determine if she was, in fact, a vampire. Her mother and sister had died before her, also from consumption, and when her brother Eddie caught the disease, he had dreams about Mercy. He also had the feeling of a heavy weight sitting on his chest at night. 
  	After her coffin was opened, the remains were examined, and the relatively good condition of Mercy Brown’s body indicated to her family and neighbors that she was indeed a vampire, and that she was responsible for her brother’s illness. While people who think of vampires today conjure up images of Dracula, in 19th century America, vampires were believed to be tied to tuberculosis, which killed millions of people. American beliefs about vampires connected victims who had died of consumption with living family members who came down with the disease, which was quite common because outbreaks of consumption frequently decimated whole families, striking down previously healthy brothers and sisters within a year or two.

  With the third decade of the twenty-first century solidly upon us, perhaps the great question for our day is “Where are the Shepherds?” Have the skills, knowledge, virtues, and wisdom that once produced men and women of character worth trusting—cultural, political, and spiritual leaders worth following—been lost forever? Have we as a society forgotten how to build these qualities into developing shepherd boys and girls? 
  In this audiobook version of Wisdom and Eloquence for Parents, read with clarity and warmth by Joelle Hodge, MAT, classical Christian educators Dr. Robert Littlejohn and Charles T. Evans draw from the foundational principles outlined in their seminal 2006 work, Wisdom and Eloquence: A Christian Paradigm for Classical Education to answer these questions with a resounding “no!” 
  Together with family and parenting counselor Keith A. McCurdy, the authors present updated selections from the original text and new content written specifically for parents, providing a compelling case for classical Christian education as the surest path to forming wise and eloquent servant-leaders who are equipped to shepherd their generation as lifelong learners, rational thinkers, creative problem solvers, and faithful Christians.

  NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • For writers looking to make sure their next physical interlude on the page inspires readers to share the moment rather than to laugh at it, bestselling author Diana Gabaldon divulges the writing secrets behind the sex scenes in her wildly popular Outlander novels. 
    
  “Ask me to your bed,” he said. “I shall come to ye.” 
    
  In this revealing compendium, acclaimed writer Diana Gabaldon shares her invaluable lessons for creating an immersive reading experience, from evoking a mood to using the power of emotions to communicate physical intimacy. You’ll learn the difference between gratuitous sex and genuine encounters that move the story forward, and how to handle less-than-savory acts that nevertheless serve a narrative purpose. Gabaldon also notes that sex can be conveyed instead of described. With such tips as “The Rule of Three” for involving the senses, handy lists of naughty euphemisms (with instructions for use), and Gabaldon’s own examples from the Outlander novels, “I Give You My Body …” is a master class in writing to draw readers in and keep them riveted to the page.
