Beschreibung

No Name by Wilkie Collins No Name is a novel by Wilkie Collins, first published in 1862. Illegitimacy is a major theme of the novel. It was originally serialised in Charles Dickens' magazine All the Year Round before book publication.

Scene One begins in 1846, at Combe-Raven in West Somerset, the country residence of the wealthy Vanstone family: Andrew Vanstone, his wife, and their two daughters. Norah, age 26, is happy and quiet; Magdalen, 18, is beautiful but volatile and willful. The family lives in peace and contentment, with the girls' former governess, Miss Garth.

Through amateur theatricals, Magdalen discovers she is a talented actress and falls in love with Frank Clare, who is also in the play. Frank, the idle but handsome son of a neighbour, has reluctantly tried to pursue a career but failed, and his father is not wealthy. However, the young couple wish to marry and Magdalen's fortune will easily support them.

Their fathers agree to the marriage, but before it takes place Mr. Vanstone is killed in a train crash and Mrs. Vanstone dies in childbirth. The family lawyer, Mr. Pendril, tells Norah and Magdalen that despite appearances their parents had only been married for a few months, and their wedding invalidated the will which left everything to the daughters.

    Many books have been written on the contemporary crisis of fatherhood, but most of them treat symptoms without identifying the underlying cause of the disease. In The Only Solution to the Self-Help Problem Roy Metter exposes the root of the crisis as a failure to acknowledge the truth about God and creation which results in man’s failure to live in a right relationship with God and his fellow man. May this book help a multitude of readers to know the truth that sets men free from sin and selfishness to achieve the purpose for which they were created.Hugh Owen, Director, Kolbe Center for the Study of the Creation 
    In The Only Solution to the Self-Help Problem Roy Metter lays bare the emptiness of the contemporary self-help literature that has led many men to build their lives on a false foundation. With logic and clarity, the author demonstrates that man can only find true happiness by fulfilling the purpose for which he was created, by cooperating with the grace of God in the Catholic Church and following her traditional liturgies and morals. What happens in the sanctuary determines what happens in the world.Lawrence Carney, Author of The Secret of the Holy Face: The Devotion Destined to Save Society 
    Modern Man has lost his roots; he has lost his traditions and culture; and as a result, he has lost his mind. ‘Self-help’ gurus have stepped into fill the void, but their supposed wisdom only goes so far and is lacking in a complete telos. In the book, Roy Metters offers us the solution to the modern self-help fad which has enwrapped the masses, even many Catholics. The true “self-help” plan is a plan of holiness rooted in the Faith of All Time. Roy’s book serves as a great antidote to this distinctly modern problem, and should be required reading.Kennedy Hall, Host of Mere Tradition and Best Selling Author

    The Lord is my shepherd. I sing the song of the jubilant soul for I have chosen God as my shepherd. Divine Intelligence rules and guides me in all my ways. I shall not want for peace, harmony, or guidance because God's Wisdom governs me. I lie down in green pastures always, since God is prospering me beyond my wildest dreams. I find myself beside the still waters as I claim the Infinite Peace of God floods my mind and heart. My emotions (waters) are stilled and calm. My mind is now serene and it reflects God's Heavenly Truths and Light (my soul is restored.)

    Winner of the 2019 Christianity Today Book Award in the Christian Living & Discipleship Category
    "This book is going to shake us all up in the most wonderfully destabilizing way." —Ray Ortlund, Lead Pastor, Immanuel Church, Nashville, Tennessee
    What did God use to draw a radical, committed unbeliever to himself? Did God take her to an evangelistic rally? Or, since she had her doctorate in literature, did he use something in print? No, God used an invitation to dinner in a modest home, from a humble couple who lived out the gospel daily, simply, and authentically.
    With this story of her conversion as a backdrop, Rosaria Butterfield invites us into her home to show us how God can use this same "radical, ordinary hospitality" to bring the gospel to our lost friends and neighbors. Such hospitality sees our homes as not our own, but as God's tools for the furtherance of his kingdom as we welcome those who look, think, believe, and act differently from us into our everyday, sometimes messy lives—helping them see what true Christian faith really looks like.
