Excerpt from Songs in the Night: A Thanksgiving Sermon, Preached in Emmanuel Church, Baltimore, Nov; 26, 1863 He knows but little of the moral economy under which we live, who finds no occasion for praise and thanksgiving to God, except in the day of prosperity. There is an under-current of teaching running through the whole of revelation, which carries to the mind a lesson of mingled tribulation and gratitude. While it is true that man was made for happiness, and can only legitimately rejoice in that condition; yet since his renunciation of his first and blessed estate, since he has become a child of wrath, since true happiness has been exiled from this sin-stricken planet, it only remains for him to rejoice in those experiences and prospects which shall best conduce to his restoration to forfeited joys. Now is it a regimen of adversity or prosperity which will the better secure the coveted end? Most true it is that He whose other name is Love "doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men." Therefore He appoints for us a refluent pleasure to every outgoing effort. But as we have a haughty spirit whose pride cannot be curbed except by rigid rule, passions which cannot be quelled except by overmastering them, spiritual enemies only to be conquered by fierce conflict, temptations to be resisted but by crucial discipline, so is it also appointed to the end we may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing, conquerors, and more than conquerors, Christ being our Helper, that the broad arena of soul-effort should be darkly chequered with the shadows of adversity. Give place to the testimony of Paul, "I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation." Nay witness the unveiling of judgment. Who are the justified? "These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." Open the Book of Life where you will, and you shall be taught that the discipline of sorrow is most wholesome and necessary to the soul. Its exigencies demand it. Its calling and election are insecure without it. Hence the Pauline teaching, "I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses." The great Apostle knew, as God knoweth, and as every man ought to know, that a life of prosperity and pleasure is a poor preparation for judgment, is too replete with beguilements to ensure to the soul the safety of its mighty interests. The same mouth which teaches that "the prosperity of fools shall destroy them," and which declares prophetically of the latter days, that then "prosperity shall destroy many," declares as well, voicing the confession of the accepted in Christ. "It is good for me that I have been afflicted." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Wartime sermons offer a window on to how Jews perceive themselves in relation to the majority society and how Jewish and national values are reconciled when the fate of a nation is at stake. They also reveal a great deal about how rabbis guide their communities through the challenges of their times. The sermons reproduced here were delivered by rabbis from across the Jewish spectrum, and each is accompanied by a comprehensive introduction and detailed notes.
Fully revised and expanded, this new work is the first major revision of the liturgical calendar of the Episcopal Church in more than 40 years! It is the official revision of Lesser Feasts and Fasts and authorized by the 2009 General Convention. All commemorations in Lesser Feasts and Fasts have been retained, and many new ones added. Three scripture readings (instead of current two) are provided for all minor holy days. Additional new material includes a votive mass of the Blessed Virgin Mary, many more ecumenical commemorations, plus a proper for space exploration. For years the oft revised volume, Lesser Feasts and Fasts (LFF), has served parishes and individuals mark part of the holiness of each day by providing Scripture readings, a collect, a Eucharistic preface, and a narrative about those remembered on the church's calendar that day whose lives have witnessed to the grace of God. Holy Women, Holy Men (HWHM) is a major effort to revise, but also to expand and enrich LFF. Where LFF provided two readings (gospel and other New Testament) plus a psalm, HWHM adds an Old Testament citation. Where LFF was limited to few non-Anglicans in the post-reformation period (and few non-Episcopalians after 1789), HWHM dramatically broadens appreciation for other Christians and their traditions. Over-emphasis on clergy is redressed by additional laity, males by females, and "in-church" activities by contributions well beyond the workings of institutional agendas. These almost daily commemorations occupy over 600 of the book's 785 pages, by far the lion's share of its content. Remaining sections address: principles of revision and guides for future revision; liturgical propers for seasons (Advent/Christmas, Lent, and Easter); and new propers for a miscellany of propers usable with individuals (or events) not officially listed in the formal calendar. Two cycles of propers for daily Eucharist are also included, one covering a six week period, the other a two year cycle.

Each entry includes a biographical narrative of the person or people, highlighting the significance of their lives and witness.

Grace believed she went from losing it all to having it all. In a desperate attempt to put her life back together, Grace, divorced and jobless, leaves Tucson to return to Chicago-a place she never planned to call home again. She also never planned to fall for Benjamin Hayward. Drawn into the fairytale existence of his power and wealth, Grace is unable to see what her family and friends see, and ignores the warning signs of Dr. Benjamin Hayward's dark side. Benjamin's secrets-the death of his mentally ill wife and the disappearance of his daughter-push Grace into an abyss deeper than the one that brought her home in the first place, and she risks losing even more. Pieces of Grace is a complicated story of relationships confused by undercurrents of mental illness. Readers find themselves hoping family and friends can carry Grace through her most difficult moments.
