The story of one of Savannah's first and most prominent Jewish families, the son who died on the battlefield, and the house that remembers it all.Gratz Cohen's ghost seemed to haunt the apartment as its new owner worked to bring it back to life. As the work progressed, Jason Friedman became obsessed with understanding who the Cohens were, and how their story fit into existing narratives about the Jewish South and the Civil War. Liberty Street: A Savannah Family, Its Golden Boy, and the Civil War is a family saga wrapped in a memoir of Friedman's own southern Jewish upbringing and return home, and the way an old house became a portal to another world. The Cohens are well-known among those versed in southern Jewish history, but sensing that there was more to their story than had yet been told, Friedman set out to learn as much as he could about the family and their world. Friedman provides a nuanced look at what it meant to be a wealthy Jewish family before and during the Civil War, and paints a portrait of a sensitive young man tormented by conflicting pulls of love and duty. Delving into the lives of an extraordinary Southern Jewish family, Liberty Street meditates on the uses of memory and the ways our understanding of the past influences how we live today.
Did you ever wonder if there's more out there? Did anyone ever try to lead you away from what you know into something you don't know? That's what happens to the three pigs you'll encounter in this book. They are in a cave. Will they ever leave it, though? Our hero, Floyd the Fly, tries to convince them to explore what he has discovered. The story we adapted for you was told over 2400 years ago -in Plato's famous Republic- by a man who always wanted to know: Socrates.

A gay man attends his high school reunion in Savannah, where he's pursued by the now-married former football star. An awkward teenager grapples with notions of God and girls at his bar mitzvah. A curator's assistant struggles to understand a five hundred-year-old Italian painter's body of work, until his boyfriend (whom he's previously written off as frivolous), makes an accidental discovery that challenges decades of art criticism. A moving picture of the trials religious, cultural, and sexual minorities experience in Georgia and the Deep South.

Few books have more influenced those called to gospel ministry than Charles Spurgeon’s Lectures to My Students. This influence of this book, like the Prince of Preachers himself, reverberates to our present age. Carrying forward this tradition is Jason Allen’s Letters to My Students. Dr. Allen serves as president of Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and Spurgeon College, the former ranking as one of the largest and fastest growing seminaries in North America. Dr. Allen has also served in multiple pastorates. His passion to serve the church by equipping a generation of pastors, missionaries, and ministers for faithful service is reflected in Letters to My Students. Letters to My Students is a biblical, accessible guide for ministers and ministers-in-training. It brings both biblical and practical wisdom to bear on the minister’s three main responsibilities: preaching, leading, and shepherding the flock of God. Martin Lloyd-Jones famously described the call to ministry as the highest, greatest, and most glorious calling to which one can be called. If this assessment resonates with you, you’ll want every available tool to strengthen your ministry. Letters to My Students is one such resource.
When Spurgeon speaks, you'd be wise to listen. The great London preacher Charles Haddon Spurgeon had a lot to say during his four decades of ministry at the Metropolitan Tabernacle. And beyond his mighty voice, Spurgeon's pen churned out countless words of biblical interpretation and Christian wisdom. These words can still encourage us today Volume 3 of the Spurgeon Speaks series shows you how to stay strong when life is coming at you hard. Spurgeon himself faced trials--physical challenges, harsh criticism, and much more--yet he stayed focused on God's call for his life. This book will help you do the same. Presented in lovely editions that you'll be proud to have on your shelf, the Spurgeon Speaks series offers focused readings on topics that were important to the Prince of Preachers. Expertly selected by Jason Allen and updated for twenty-first century readers, this series will be a valued addition to the library of pastors, scholars, and anyone who appreciates the legacy of Charles Haddon Spurgeon.
