The Poacher's Wife


Book Description

This thrilling novel is a 1906 mystery by English author, poet, and dramatist Eden Phillpotts, set in Dartmoor and the West Indies. Dan Sweetland is about to wive Minnie Marshall, in the deepest Devonshire, in the area of Dartmoor. Dramatically on the day of his wedding, Dan is wrongfully charged with shooting the gamekeeper of the Middlecott preserves. Unfavorable evidence puts Dan at the crime scene, and he is arrested for this crime when the gamekeeper dies from his injuries. The plot circles around Dan's escape and his wife Minnie's attempt to clear his name. The Poacher's Wife is a well-written mystery with intriguing characters. Throughout the book, it keeps the reader wanting to discover "What's next?". Excerpt from The Poacher's Wife "In one corner, round a table, men sat and laughed, but the object of their amusement did not share the fun. He was a powerful, bull-necked man with a clean-shorn face, grey whiskers, and dark eyes that shone brightly under pent-house brows, bushy and streaked with grey."




The Child of the Dawn


Book Description

The Child of the Dawn by Arthur Christopher Benson is a curious and dramatic novel about the possibility and the wondrous pondering of immortality. Excerpt: "Certainly the last few moments of my former material, worn-out life, as I must still call it, were made horrible enough for me. I came to, after the operation, in deadly sickness and ghastly confusion of thought. I was just dimly conscious of the trim, bare room, the white bed, a figure or two, but everything else was swallowed up in the pain, which filled all my senses at once."

Take My Hand: A Theological Memoir


Book Description

Take My Hand is an invitation to experience a year of preaching through the eyes of a first-year pastor. Andrew Taylor-Troutman reflects on his experience of ministry as a dynamic exchange between his theological education and the people in the pews. Each chapter consists of Taylor-Troutman's reflections about a particular aspect of living as a faith community and concludes with a sermon exploring similar themes and ideas. As this book journeys through the Christian liturgical year, Taylor-Troutman considers a wide range of contemporary church issues, including the role of children in worship and the communal practice of Sabbath. He discusses topics as diverse as the Rapture, the death penalty, and church league softball. Along the way, readers will laugh at Sunday morning bloopers, study biblical texts from new perspectives, wrestle with theological questions, and discover parallels between their own experience of faith and the life of this small rural congregation. More than just a retrospective summary of events, Take My Hand poignantly illustrates how a pastor's work on Sunday morning grows out of his or her engagement with the hopes and fears of daily life, and the inspiring faith of men, women, and children in a church. The Group Study Edition encourages people of different ages and experiences to discuss and enjoy the book, while applying insights to their own communities of faith.
