Winter Count is a historical novel set during the fifteen turbulent years leading up to the infamous Wounded Knee Massacre of 1890. Turtleheart, a Teton Sioux, and his wife, Evensigh, a white woman adopted by the Tetons as an infant, are thrust into this history when they are ambushed by a Santee Sioux working as a scout for white gold miners. Turtleheart is tortured and left for dead, while Evensigh is kidnapped and sent to St. Louis to assimilate into white culture. Their struggle to reunite is set against the backdrop of escalating conflicts with the U.S. cavalry, the negotiation and breaking of treaties, and the formation of the Sioux reservation. Originally published in 1967, Winter Count is one of the few book-length works of fiction produced by a Native American to be published before the 1970s.

Newspapers, magazines, and other periodicals reached a peak of cultural influence and financial success in Britain in the 1850s and 1860s, out-publishing and out-selling books as much as one hundred to one. But although scholars have long known that writing for the vast periodical marketplace provided many Victorian authors with needed income - and sometimes even with full second careers as editors and journalists - little has been done to trace how the midcentury ascendancy of periodical discourses might have influenced Victorian literary discourse. In ""The Dynamics of Genre"", Dallas Liddle innovatively combines Mikhail Bakhtin's dialogic approach to genre with methodological tools from periodicals studies, literary criticism, and the history of the book to offer the first rigorous study of the relationship between mid-Victorian journalistic genres and contemporary poetry, the novel, and serious expository prose. Liddle shows that periodical genres competed both ideologically and economically with literary genres, and he studies how this competition influenced the midcentury writings and careers of authors including Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Harriet Martineau, Anthony Trollope, George Eliot, and the sensation novelists of the 1860s. Some Victorian writers directly adopted the successful genre forms and worldview of journalism, but others such as Eliot strongly rejected them, while Trollope launched his successful career partly by using fiction to analyze journalism's growing influence in British society. Liddle argues that successful interpretation of the works of these and many other authors will be fully possible only when scholars learn to understand the journalistic genre forms with which mid-Victorian literary forms interacted and competed.

El ultimo mandamiento que Jesus dio a la iglesia antes de ascender al cielo fue la gran comision, el llamado a los cristianos a haced discipulos a todas las naciones. Pero los cristianos han respondido haciendo cristianos, no discipulos. Esto, segun el brillante erudito y reconocido pensador cristiano Dallas Willard, ha sido La gran omision de la iglesia. La palabra discipulo ocurre 269 veces en el Nuevo Testamento, escribe Willard. Cristiano se encuentra tres veces y fue introducido por primera vez para referirse precisamente a los discipulos de Jesus... El Nuevo Testamento es un libro acerca de los discipulos, por los discipulos, y para los discipulos de Jesucristo. Pero la cuestion no es meramente verbal. Lo que es mas importante es que el tipo de vida que vemos en la iglesia primitiva es la de un tipo de persona especial. Todas las garantias y beneficios que el evangelio ofrece a la humanidad presuponen evidentemente esa vida y no tienen sentido realista aparte de ella. El discipulo de Jesus no es el modelo de lujo o de alta resistencia del cristiano --especialmente acolchado, con textura, racionalizado y facultado por la via rapida en el camino recto y estrecho. El o ella encuentra en las paginas del Nuevo Testamento el primer nivel de transporte basico hacia el Reino de Dios Willard desafia audazmente la idea de que podemos ser cristianos sin ser discipulos, o llamarnos cristianos sin aplicar esta comprension de la vida en el Reino de Dios a todos los aspectos de la vida en la tierra. El llama a los creyentes a restaurar lo que deberia ser el corazon del cristianismo --ser discipulos activos de Jesucristo. Willard nos muestra que en la escuela de la vida, somos aprendices del Maestro cuya brillantez nos anima a subir por encima del conocimiento tradicional de la iglesia y abrazar el verdadero significado del discipulado --un vida activa, concreta y 24/7 con Jesus.

"God spoke to me." "The Spirit spoke to my heart." "God revealed the idea to me." Being close to God means communicating with him--telling him what is on our hearts in prayer and hearing and understanding what he is saying to us. It is this second half of our conversation with God that is so important but that can also be so difficult. How do we hear his voice? How can we be sure that what we think we hear is not our own subconscious? What role does the Bible play? What if what God says to us is not clear? The key, says best-selling author Dallas Willard, is to focus not so much on individual actions and decisions as on building our personal relationship with our Creator. In this updated and expanded edition of Willard's beloved book, originally published as In Search of Guidance, you'll gain rich spiritual insight into how we can hear God's voice clearly and develop an intimate partnership with him in the work of his kingdom.
