Where Angels Fear to Tread

Where Angels Fear to Tread catapulted E.M. Forster into his renowned career as an author. He would become known better for other works, such as A Passage to India (ISBN: 9781645940845) but from the beginning was known for his wit, insight, and originality. In Where Angels Fear to Tread, we witness unrequited love, Italian romance, and, ultimately, death and tragedy. In other words, the novel is a variation on so many of our lives throughout history. Except, perhaps, the romance playing out in Italy.

The Machine Stops

In our modern era, we like to congratulate ourselves for our sophistication, knowing that we have doubtless created a world that our feckless ancestors could never have imagined. Actually reading the works of those ancestors would disabuse us of any such notion, and E. M. Forster's The Machine Stops is a case in point. Not only does it seem that Forster has contemplated the ubiquitous 'Zoom' call, but he correctly sensed the deadening of the soul that would accompany the faux-mastery of Nature, expressing itself through technology. In The Machine Stops the height of mankind's advances was The Machine, and it cared for every aspect of human experience, and anticipated every human need, until such time that there was nothing left for humans to do except eat, and, if the algorithm approved, procreate; and when the algorithm decided Euthanasia was due, then Euthanasia was happily accepted. The Machine was not just the pinnacle of human ingenuity, it was Progress Incarnate. And then... the Machine Stopped. Today, we hail our own progress, technological and societal. If our machine stops, what then? Do we really suppose it is eternal?

'I am a good person. I go to church, I work hard, I pay my tithes... I don't do this, I don't do that, and I would never, ever do some of things the world is doing. Then why are these things happening to me? What am I doing wrong? This was the beginning of my journey to enlightenment. I found out that I had a deep respect for God, but not a relationship.' I wrote this book when I was diagnosed with kidney failure and going through dialysis. Dialysis turned my whole world around. I really couldn't work much, I lost my good credit, and everything I had done to make my life better, everything I worked for, was gone. My faith was the last thing I was trying to hold on too, but my faith was fading fast. I just didn't think that I had to go through an illness that would stop me from taking care of myself, especially since I had no one else to take care of me. I was mad at myself, at the world, and God. If I knew that I was going to end up alone, sick, broken, and broke, I should have allowed myself to have more of a good time in life instead of being so disciplined and "good." I was born in the mid-'50s in Westgrove, PA. At about three years old, in 1958, we moved to Delaware and I have lived there ever since. I attended the schools in Newark, DE, graduated from Newark High in 1973. I served in the Army from 1975 to 1978, came home, and worked in manufacturing, banking, health care, many other services. I was saved in my twenties. After that, I was in and out of many churches until I found a church where I was satisfied. Attended community college for several years, I have several degrees from Delaware Tech. I was diagnosed with kidney failure in May of 2013. That was a turning point in my life and why I had to write this book.

Edward Morgan Forster OM CH (1 January 1879 - 7 June 1970) was an English novelist, short story writer, essayist and librettist. Many of his novels examined class difference and hypocrisy, including A Room with a View (1908), Howards End (1910) and A Passage to India (1924). The last brought him his greatest success. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 16 different years.Forster's first novel, Where Angels Fear to Tread, was described by reviewers as "astonishing" and "brilliantly original". The Manchester Guardian (forerunner of The Guardian) noted "a persistent vein of cynicism which is apt to repel," though "the cynicism is not deep-seated." The novel is labelled "a sordid comedy culminating, unexpectedly and with a real dramatic force, in a grotesque tragedy." Lionel Trilling remarked on this first novel as "a whole and mature work dominated by a fresh and commanding intelligence".Subsequent books were similarly received on publication. The Manchester Guardian commented on Howards End, describing it as "a novel of high quality written with what appears to be a feminine brilliance of perception... witty and penetrating." An essay by David Cecil in Poets and Storytellers (1949) describes Forster as "pulsing with intelligence and sensibility", but primarily concerned with an original moral vision: "He tells a story as well as anyone who ever lived". US interest in Forster and appreciation for him were spurred by Lionel Trilling's E. M. Forster: A Study, which called him "the only living novelist who can be read again and again and who, after each reading, gives me what few writers can give us after our first days of novel-reading, the sensation of having learned something." (Trilling 1943)Criticism of his works has included comment on unlikely pairings of characters who marry or get engaged, and the lack of realistic depiction of sexual attraction. (wikipedia.org)

Becoming a Christian is the best decision a person can make. Getting the courage to come to the cross, admit you are a sinner, and ask Jesus to be Lord over your life is the start of a new beginning. But what comes next? After receiving salvation, how does one actually "do" the Christian life? Author Ernestine Scovens knows that this can be confusing at first, and she has written a book full of guidance and support for readers. I Once Was Blind: A Book of Lessons for New Believers by Ernestine Scovens is an inspiring book composed of easily understandable lessons that help new believers develop a good foundation on which to build a strong relationship with God. After watching people come to church and give their lives to the Lord only to attend a few services and never return, Ernestine realized that something was missing in the support being provided to recent Christians. Often because of a lack of understanding of the decision they had made, many would end up abandoning their efforts to develop a personal relationship with Christ. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, Ernestine created a resource to help new believers embrace the changes occurring in their spirit and walk in their newfound faith. Including review sections with scriptures and questions for readers to complete as well as enrichment sections which focus on different foundational spiritual principles, I Once Was Blind: A Book of Lessons for New Believers answers questions that readers are bound to have and walks with them as they embark on their faith journey. Ernestine Scovens, native of Baltimore, Maryland, was born on August 10, 1959 and 'born again' some 25 years later. At the age of 34 she suffered a crippling accident causing the loss of her mother and a loss of her faith in God. After 25 years she found her way back to God, and was delivered from alcoholism and divers other infirmities of the flesh. Since rededicating her life to Christ on January 19, 2010 Ernestine has strived to become rooted and grounded in her faith. Her time now centers around studying God's Word, ministering to those in need, and teaching the Word of God whenever possible. Her commitment to helping new believers build a strong foundation in Christ was the inspiration for her first book, I Once Was Blind.

The Reverend David Simcox Galloway, an American Presbyterian educator and clergyman, is seeking to establish a secondary school for boys in what is now southeastern Turkey, at the border with Syria. This is the story of two eventful weeks: one in March 1910 and the other in September 1925. In 1910, he is struggling just to prepare a proposal to create the school. In 1925, the new campus is ready and about to open. Diligent, quiet, well-intentioned, and idealistic, Galloway often feels overwhelmed by the challenges of life and work on the mission field. He encounters violence, cultural friction, illness, isolation, and loss, and sometimes unexpected satisfaction and joy. This narrative represents post-colonial critiques of mission while also embodying the way Christians of the time lived their faith, expressed themselves, and observed the norms of their social context. The novel tells a compelling personal story while digging into issues of intercultural encounter, indigenous agency, vernacularization, interfaith relations, gender roles in mission, the advent of modernity, mission philanthropy in that era, and the effects of imperialism in the Middle East. David Galloway reconsiders many of his assumptions over the time span of this story.

In the nineteenth century, Mary Lyon at Mount Holyoke College developed a progressive ideal of useful womanhood: serious, educated, devoted to service, skilled in domestic arts, and ready for leadership. Her disciple Fidelia Fiske took up the unlikely challenge of applying the Mount Holyoke approach to the education of young women and girls in a remote corner of northwestern Persia. In 1906, Nan Graybill joins the Presbyterian Mission in Persia as principal of the Fiske Seminary for Girls near Urmia. It's her job to pursue the task of training her students in these feminine virtues, now modified and updated for the twentieth century. She considers herself a "modern missionary," aiming for social gospel objectives. But in 1914, the outbreak of war between Ottoman Turkey and Tsarist Russia threatens to trample the Urmia province into dust. The Syriac-speaking Christian community there--Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant--becomes one of the most tragic casualties of the Great War. Nan Graybill and her Assyrian colleagues must lead the school community through this crisis with their own creativity, dedication, tenacity, competence, and courage. Together, they find new ways to endure and to prevail.
