Book Description
Mary Augusta Ward CBE was a British novelist who wrote under her married name as Mrs. Humphry Ward. She worked to improve education for the poor and she became the founding President of the Women's National Anti-Suffrage League. Ward began her career writing articles for Macmillan's Magazine while working on a book for children that was published in 1881 under the title Milly and Olly. This was followed in 1884 by a more ambitious, though slight, study of modern life, Miss Bretherton, the story of an actress. Ward's novels contained strong religious subject matter relevant to Victorian values she herself practiced. Her popularity spread beyond Great Britain to the United States.

Book Description
From Margaret Mead and Zora Neale Hurston to Lionel Trilling and Lou Gehrig, Columbia University has been home to some of the most important historians, scientists, critics, artists, physicians, and social scientists of the twentieth century. (It can also boast a hall-of-fame athlete.) In Living Legacies at Columbia, contributors with close personal ties to their subjects capture Columbia's rich intellectual history. Essays span the birth of genetics and modern anthropology, constitutionalism from John Jay to Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Virginia Apgar's test, Lou Gehrig's swing, journalism education, black power, public health, the development of Asian studies, the Great Books Movement, gender studies, human rights, and numerous other realms of teaching and discovery. They include Eric Foner on historian Richard Hoftstader, Isaac Levi and Sidney Hook on John Dewey, David Rosand on art historian Meyer Schapiro, John Hollander on critic Mark Van Doren, Donald Keene on Asian studies, Jacques Barzun on history, Eric Kandel on geneticist Thomas Hunt Morgan, and Rosalind Rosenberg on Franz Boas and his three most famous pupils: Ruth Benedict, Margaret Mead, and Zora Neale Hurston. Much more than an institutional history, Living Legacies captures the spirit of a great university through the stories of gifted men and women who have worked, taught, and studied at Columbia. It includes stories of struggle and breakthrough, searching and discovery, tradition and transformation.

Book Description
CAUSES: In this upcoming FLU (Faith Lacking Urgency) season we live in a day and age where we are bombarded with so many new diseases, cancerous doctor reports, unemployment, mind battles, failing marriages, racism, children going astray, and the stress of living above the 'barely making it' level. There is a war going on for your attention, mind, body and soul; however we must rise to the URGENCY of faith. Our blood (which represents everything about us) is being attacked and tainted with the infections and viruses of unbelief, worry, strong spiritual warfare, a compromising Christian walk, prayer-less lifestyle, and distractions from today's social media. Family, this is NOT God's plan for our life. TIME TO SEE THE DOCTOR: It is my strong belief and confidence in God that He has led you to this 30 day journey to be infused with the Blood of Christ. God is writing out your daily Rx which is divinely prescribed to assist you in your current trials and tribulations. These ministerial writings will give you the encouragement to fight the good fight of faith. It's time to clothe yourself with the whole armor of God which will build the spirit's immunity to fight off every fiery dart that's aimed your way. The immune system protects against disease in the same way the immune spirit protects against the attacks of Satan and life itself. Allow this devotional series to assist in building up your immune spirit which should also accompany the word of God, prayer, obedience, fasting, praise, and worship. With all of these medications the Doctor assures you that your faith will NOT fail; you shall win EVERY war and walk out your destiny from VICTORY!
