Protestant Missionary Children's Lives, C.1870-1950
Hugh Morrison
MANCHESTER UNIVERSITY PRESS
2024
sidottu
Protestant missionary children were uniquely ‘empire citizens’ through their experiences of living in empire and in religiously formed contexts. This book examines their lives through the related lenses of parental, institutional and child narratives. To do so it draws on histories of childhood and of emotions, using a range of sources including oral history. It argues that missionary children were doubly shaped by parents’ concerns and institutional policy responses. At the same time children saw their own lives as both ‘ordinary’ and ‘complicated’. Literary representations boosted adult narratives. Empire provided a complex space in which these children navigated their way between the expectations of two, if not three, different cultures. The focus is on a range of settings and on the early twentieth century. Therefore, the book offers a complex and comparative picture of missionary children’s lives.
You Are Programmed For Greatness The blooming of a flower is both a miracle and a normal occurrence. So can be said for the hatching of a chick, the development of an embryo, the creation of a forest, and the sensational phenomenon of self revelation. Fifty-Two Weeks of M.I.R.A.C.L.E.S. is about appreciating all that is wonderful and good on this planet. Through various spiritual outlets, we are able to more fully understand the divine I AM and move closer to that which we come from. This book is designed to outline and highlight MIRACLES that exist and take place through, in, as, and around you as phrases intended to be the weekly focus of contemplation, meditation, consideration, and reflection. Regardless of the activity you are immersed in; remember to remember that you are instrumental in a dynamic and unfolding world. To consciously draw from the Universal Source is to unlock and utilize the power of the infinite, which is already at your fingertips.

Discipleship making seems to be a lost art within the modern church today. As a matter of fact, the church seems to neglect true discipleship because it has a lack of a working knowledge in God's Word. Disciplining, combined with practical use in the everyday world, is a necessity today if the babe in Jesus Christ is going to survive Satan's devices and schemes. In this book, I have set it up so that the beginner can learn how to study the Bible easily. The subject matter walks the new believer through the basic doctrine he/she needs to know in order to establish a root system in the word. Each subject area uses one verse and breaks it down into principles that can be easily understood. Each verse used in each subject is highlighted. The key words and the Greek spellings are shown with their meanings. Questions are provided for the new believer to think and pray about in each subject area. A prayer of confession is provided to teach the new believer how to pray God's Word in accordance to God's will.
Latin Letters of C.S. Lewis

In September 1947, after reading C.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters in Italian, Fr. (now St.) Giovanni Calabria was moved to write the author, but he knew no English and assumed (rightly) that Lewis knew no Italian. So he wrote his letter in Latin, hoping that, as a classicist, Lewis would know Latin. Therein began a correspondence that was to outlive Fr. Calabria himself (he died in December 1954, and was succeeded in correspondence by Fr. Luigi Pedrollo, which continued until Lewis’s own death in 1963). Translator/editor Martin Moynihan calls these letters “limpid, fluent and deeply refreshing. There was a charm about them, too, and not least in the way they were ‘topped and tailed’ — that is, in their ever-slightly-varied formalities of address and of farewell.” More than any other of his published works The Latin Letters shows the strong devotional side of Lewis, and contains letters ranging from Christian unity and modern European history to liturgical worship and general ethical behavior. This new edition is greatly enhanced by a new foreword from the eminent Lewis Scholar, Mark A. Noll, from the University of Notre Dame.

U.S.M.C. Lieutenant Zachary Taylor Primrose has put in for a third tour in Vietnam while his wife, Rhonda, is touring the Far East. Colonel Easy offers him a deal. He can have the tour, but only if he accepts a dangerous and illegal clandestine mission to locate a pair of F-4s equipped with top secret new technology, technology that at all costs, must not fall into enemy hands. The F4s have vanished into thin air, presumed crashed, the pilots presumed dead. Pulling together his old team of misfits-Tracker Heto, Tom Toms and his shamans, explosives expert T.C. (Two Case) Champion, along with three brown-water sailors and a former office pinky, and with Rhonda running the control center from the Dragonfly Bar and Hotel in Bangkok, the team sets off into unknown jungle territory, where Primrose and Colonel Easy discover more than they bargained for.
