Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway (1925) has long been recognised as one of her outstanding achievements and one of the canonical works of modernist fiction. Each generation of readers has found something new within its pages, which is reflected in its varying critical reception over the last ninety years. As the novel concerns itself with women's place in society, war and madness, it was naturally interpreted differently in the ages of second wave feminism, the Vietnam War and the anti-psychiatry movement.This has, of course, created a rather daunting number of different readings. Michael H. Whitworth contextualizes the most important critical work and draws attention to the distinctive discourses of critical schools, noting their endurance and interplay. Whitworth also examines how adaptations, such as Michael Cunningham's The Hours, can act as critical works in themselves, creating an invaluable guide to Mrs Dalloway.

Throughout the political turmoil of 1-2 Kings, God's prophets brought messages of hope, warning, and judgment.For the most part, those messages went unheeded, and a once glorious nation was ruined. But the mistakes of long-dead kings, not to mention the messages of heroic men of God, offer wisdom to spiritual Israel today.1 KINGS FROM START2FINISH is a 12-lesson adventure through this Old Testament book and will help classes or small groups heed the warning of Kings, that nothing is more important than submission to the King of kings. In the process, important principles such as proper worship, the emptiness of idolatry, and the importance of obedience will be affirmed.

Years ago, I unexpectedly stumbled upon a joy of landscape photography. While penning a commentary on Paul's majestic epistle to the Romans, I was struck by the claim in Romans 1:20 that God's nature can be known through the things he has made. Since that study, I have been on a quest to discover all that the Lord has revealed about himself through the work of his hands.INVISIBLE WITNESS reflects a decade's worth of landscape photography from across the United States. From the peaks of the Rockies to the beaches of the Pacific; from the plains of the Dakotas to the oceanside cliffs of Maine... from sea to shining sea, America is indeed a land that God has graced. I'm thrilled to share these beautiful landscapes with you, as well as a few stories behind--and devotional thoughts inspired by--their locations.

"We live in a grief illiterate society."Truer words were never spoken. Grief is more than unpleasant; it's messy. Grief is more than foreign; it's counter-intuitive. Grief is more than probable; it's inevitable. Do you know what the Bible has to say about grief? Have you prepared yourself to grieve, and to do so well when your time comes?LIFE IN THE SHADOW OF DEATH will educate you on grief and equip you to grieve to the glory of God. In the book, Michael Whitworth discusses what the Bible has to say about the grief journey, how to weep appropriately with those that weep, how to grieve unconventional losses, and how we can know we are never alone in the valley of the shadow of death.

To many Christians, the Book of Revelation is a hopeless, tangled knot of vague meanings, obscure imagery, and frayed interpretations. Whether it be the four dreadful horsemen, the great dragon, or the enigmatic 666-to say nothing of scrolls, seals, bowls, and plagues-the signs and symbols of Revelation seem to defy understanding.

Set free by grace. Called to walk by the Spirit. The book of Galatians is Paul's passionate defense of the gospel of grace. Written to believers tempted to trade freedom for legalism, it proclaims that salvation rests not on human effort, but on the finished work of Christ. The cross, not the law, is the foundation of righteousness-and the Spirit, not the flesh, is the source of holy living. With sharp clarity and heartfelt conviction, Galatians exposes the futility of self-reliance and the danger of adding anything to the gospel.

Life under the sun can feel like a riddle wrapped in fog. Pleasure fades. Wealth evaporates. Wisdom frustrates. Death comes for all. The Teacher of Ecclesiastes faced these hard truths head-on and asked the question that still haunts humanity: What's the point of it all?

A holy God. A called people. A life set apart. For many readers, Leviticus feels like foreign territory-sacrifices, priests, rituals, and laws. Yet within these ancient pages lies the heartbeat of Scripture: the holiness of God and his desire to dwell among his people. Every offering, every festival, and every command revealed what it meant for Israel to live in covenant fellowship with the Lord who redeemed them. Leviticus shows that holiness is not about distance but nearness-about a God who makes a way for sinful people to come close. From the burnt offering to the Day of Atonement, from clean and unclean distinctions to moral integrity, Leviticus calls believers to reflect the character of the One who said, "Be holy, for I am holy." Leviticus from Start2Finish is a 12-lesson journey through one of the Bible's most misunderstood books and will help Bible classes or small groups see the beauty of holiness and the grace behind the law.
