Meditations on the Life and Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ Meditations on the Life and Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Author(s): Tauler, John (c. 1300-1361) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: In his series of 45 meditations, John Tauler reflects upon the many stages of Jesus© ministry and passion. Tauler begins his mediations with a confession, in which he asks the Lord to open his heart and cleanse him from his unrighteousness so that he might be worthy to praise God©s name.Throughout his meditations, Tauler shares the painful, yet redemptive, details of Christ©s last days on Earth, from the washing of His disciple©s feet to His final words on the cross. Tauler©s medit- ations offer Christians a vivid illustration of Christ©s sacrifice for us, encouraging us to draw near to Him. Meditations of the Life and Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ is an excellent resource for Christians who are striving to emulate the com- passionate qualities of Christ--humility, grace, and forgive- ness.

    Light, Life, and Love Author(s): Inge, William Ralph (1860-1954) Eckhart, Johannes (c. 1260-1327) (Author of section) Tauler, John (c. 1300-1361) (Author of section) Suso, Henry (c. 1296-1366) (Author of section) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: This book has everything a reader needs to explore the world of German mysticism. William Inge begins with an introduc- tion of histories, biographies, and summaries of the move- ment, and his scholarly articles will prove useful for the stu- dent of mysticism. Then he includes in the book many ex- amples of the writings of the 14th century Dominicans, the Friends of God. These friends were an informal group of Catholics who strove to deepen both their communal relation- ships as well as their inner spirituality. Eckhardt, Tauler, and Suso were the major proponents of this theology, and each is represented in Inge©s collection.This book is a unique and convenient volume that will assist readers interested in the fascinating movement of German mysticism.

  • Flowers from a Puritan's Garden
    Flowers from a Puritan's Garden by C. H. Spurgeon Table of Contents Preface Meditations Inspired by Thomas Manton PREFACE While commenting upon the One Hundred and Nineteenth Psalm, I was brought into most intimate communion with Thomas Manton, who has discoursed upon that marvelous portion of Scripture with great fullness and power. His works occupy twenty-two volumes in the modern reprint—a mighty mountain of sound theology. They mostly consist of sermons—but what sermons! There is not a poor discourse in the whole collection: he is constantly excellent. Ministers who do not know Manton, need not wonder if they are themselves unknown. Here, then, is a man whose figures will be sure to be usable by the earnest preacher who has forsworn the baubles of rhetoric, and aims at nothing but the benefit of his hearers. I thought it worth while to go through volume after volume, and mark the metaphors; and then I resolved to complete the task by culling all the best figures out of the whole of Manton's works. Thus my clearing his house of all his pictures, and hanging them up in new frames of my own. I do not rob him, but I bless him by giving him another opportunity of speaking. To make this little book more generally acceptable, I have thrown it into a somewhat devotional form, using Manton's figures as texts for brief meditations: this I humbly hope may be found profitable for reading in the chamber of private worship. The latter half of the work was composed in the gardens and olive- groves of Mentone, where I found it a pleasure to muse, and compose.

  • “I Used to Be a Slave”: Boyhood and Adolescence in Indiana (1816-1830)
    Chapter Two “I Used to be a Slave”: Boyhood and Adolescence in Indiana (1816-1830) In 1817, a British traveler described Indiana as “a vast forest, larger than England, just penetrated in places, by the back-wood settlers, who are half hunters, half farmers.”i Late in the previous year, Thomas Lincoln, his wife, and their two children entered the Buck Horn Valley of that state, which had just been admitted to the Union.ii The family’s journey from Kentucky was arduous, relentlessly exposing them to the rigors of camping out on cold winter nights. Upon reaching their new home site, the little i Elias Pym Fordham, Personal Narrative of Travels in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and of a Residence in the Illinois Territory, 1817-1818 (Cleveland: Augustus H. Clarke, 1906), quoted in R. Carlyle Buley, The Old Northwest: Pioneer Period, 1815-1840 (2 vols.; Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1950), 1:24. ii There is much controversy about the exact route the family took from Kentucky to Indiana.

  • Arthur Conan Doyle the Last Galley Impressions and Tales
    ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE THE LAST GALLEY IMPRESSIONS AND TALES 2008 – All rights reserved Non commercial use permitted THE LAST GALLEY. IMPRESSIONS AND TALES Arthur Conan Doyle. PREFACE I have written "Impressions and Tales" upon the title-page of this volume, because I have included within the same cover two styles of work which present an essential difference. The second half of the collection consists of eight stories, which explain themselves. The first half is made up of a series of pictures of the past which maybe regarded as trial flights towards a larger ideal which I have long had in my mind. It has seemed to me that there is a region between actual story and actual history which has never been adequately exploited. I could imagine, for example, a work dealing with some great historical epoch, and finding its interest not in the happenings to particular individuals, their adventures and their loves, but in the fascination of the actual facts of history themselves. These facts might be coloured with the glamour which the writer of fiction can give, and fictitious characters and conversations might illustrate them; but none the less the actual drama of history and not the drama of invention should claim the attention of the reader. I have been tempted sometimes to try the effect upon a larger scale; but meanwhile these short sketches, portraying various crises in the story of the human race, are to be judged as experiments in that direction. ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE. WINDLESHAM, CROWBOROUGH, April, 1911. CONTENTS PART I THE LAST GALLEY THE CONTEST THROUGH THE VEIL AN ICONOCLAST GIANT MAXIMIN THE COMING OF THE HUNS THE LAST OF THE LEGIONS THE FIRST CARGO THE HOME-COMING THE RED STAR PART II THE SILVER MIRROR THE BLIGHTING OF SHARKEY THE MARRIAGE OF THE BRIGADIER THE LORD OF FALCONBRIDGE OUT OF THE RUNNING "DE PROFUNDIS" THE GREAT BROWN-PERICORD MOTOR THE TERROR OF BLUE JOHN GAP PART I THE LAST GALLEY "Mutato nomine, de te, Britannia, fabula narratur."

  • The Poems of Henry Van Dyke
    THE POEMS OF HENRY VAN DYKE NOW FIRST COLLECTED AND REVISED WITH MANY HITHERTO UNPUBLISHED NEW YORK CHARLES SCRIBNER S SONS MCMXI Copyright, 1911, by Charles Scribner s Sons Published September, 1011 A &quot; A WORD IN PROSE TO MY GENTLE READER Tins book is intended only for you, because you alone will keep it with you long enough to feel its meaning. Plere is gathered and set in order all that I have been per mitted to write, as yet, of the poetry that has come to me. I hoped once that it would be more, and feared often that it might be less. The long silent interval between the earlier and the later poems was filled with hard work at the call of duty. I have laboured in the vineyard and fought in the ranks. The youthful plan of a whole life devoted to the art of poetry has not been fulfilled. Instead has come an experience of the power of poetry to cheer and illumine the whole of life. Metre and rhyme have a deep relation to the rhythm of human emotion, of which I grow more sure the less I can explain it. Some call them a bondage, but the natural harmony of such laws makes for true freedom. Therefore, while using the older metri cal forms with love and care, I have also adventured new ones, believing that English poesy has to win a larger liberty in those happy regions which lie between the formal and the formless. What I have seen and felt and dreamed beyond the horizon of prose, yet ever in the most real world, is here interpreted in verse.
