Patriots. Founding Fathers. Revolutionaries. For many Americans, the colonial heroes deserve special celebratory reverence. Yet while Washington's leadership, Franklin's writings, and Revere's ride captivate us, the inspiration and influence George Whitefield instilled within the revolutionary spirits of early Americans is regrettably unknown.In this refreshing biography, Jerome Dean Mahaffey deftly moves beyond Whitefield's colonial celebrity to show how his rhetoric and ministry worked for freedom, situating Whitefield alongside the most revolutionary founders. As this Anglican revivalist traveled among the colonies, he delivered exhilarating sermons deeply saturated with political implications - freedom from oppression, civil justice, communal cooperation. Whitefield helped to encourage in his listeners a longing for a new, uniquely American nationalism.The Accidental Revolutionary tells the story of this forgotten founder, who may not have realized the repercussions of his words as he spoke them. Now, Mahaffey delicately shows that Whitefield converted colonists not just to Christianity but to a renewed sense of unification that ultimately made possible the American Revolution.
The third volume in Studies in Rhetoric & Religion, Preaching Politics traces the surprising and lasting influence of one of American history's most fascinating and enigmatic figuresâGeorge Whitefield. Jerome Mahaffey explores George Whitefield's role in creating a "rhetoric of community" that successfully established a common worldview among the many colonial cultures. Using a rigorous method of rhetorical analysis, Mahaffey cogently argues that George Whitefield directed the evolution of an American collective religious identity that lay underneath the emerging political ideology that fueled the American Revolution.

Herman Broderick and Nancy Lee visited the little tourist trap of Jerome, Arizona, to rekindle their old romance. But staying at the Jerome Grand Hotel quickly proved to be a mistake. Neither Herman nor Nancy had ever taken all those old ghost tales about Jerome seriously, but they're both about to become staunch believers in the supernatural. Meanwhile, Earl and Keith Roche, along with Keith's girlfriend Minnie Connors, are in Jerome to film a documentary on the haunted Jerome Grand Hotel. But so far, they've been having no success whatsoever. But all that is about to change for them too. They're about to have more success as paranormal investigators than they'd ever dreamed of . . . or wanted. There's a whole lot more to this. As both sets of guests meet and interact, it quickly becomes clear to them that they're connected in some way. There's something linking these five visitors to the town of Jerome in general, and to the Jerome Grand Hotel in particular. Once all sorts of strange and increasingly violent paranormal happenings start occurring around them, Herman, Nancy, Earl, Keith, and Minnie realize that they need to unravel the puzzle of what that connection is before they don't survive their visit to Jerome. And . . . what does the eerie black cat want with Minnie Connors anyway?
Jerome is based in fact about a mystery man who was discovered in Sandy Cove, Nova Scotia on September 8th, 1863. It is believed by some that Jerome's name came to be because of the strange sound he uttered that sounded somewhat like "Jerum". Jerome was found in front of a rock that still exists on Sandy Cove Beach. He had no legs, and his stumps were bandaged. Some believe that a ship of unknown origin may have left him on the beach. Various families on and around Digby Neck cared for Jerome over the years. Jerome died on April 12th, 1912, and is buried in the Metaghan Cemetery Jerome's history as presented in this story is largely fiction.
