Описание:

This is a novel of old Kentucky, set in the late 1700s and early 1800s, at about the time that Daniel Boone was making his reputation. It was a time when people from the eastern states were moving into the Kentucky territory and staking a claim on land, providing that they built a shelter, cleared some land and raised a crop.

This is a historical novel, which means that the history and setting are accurate but the people are fictional. The dialect used in this book reflects the language style chat was spoken by the early settlers in Kentucky.

It should be noted that while there is adventure in this book, there is a minimum of descriptive violence and an absence of sexual content. It was written for young readers, say from ten to adult years. It is an excellent way to read and enjoy early American History, with the intensity of a good novel.

Описание: In Righteous Gentiles: Religion, Identity, and Myth in John Hagee’s Christians United for Israel, Sean Durbin offers a critical analysis of America’s largest Pro-Israel organization, Christians United for Israel, along with its critics and collaborators. Although many observers focus Christian Zionism’s influence on American foreign policy, or whether or not Christian Zionism is ‘truly’ religious, Righteous Gentiles takes a different approach. Through his creative and critical analysis of Christian Zionists’ rhetoric and mythmaking strategies, Durbin demonstrates how they represent their identities and political activities as authentically religious. At the same time, Durbin examines the role that Jews and the state of Israel have as vehicles or empty signifiers through which Christian Zionist truth claims are represented as manifestly real.

Описание: The Captain Finds the Key is the exciting conclusion to a trilogy that began with The Captain Takes a Wife and continued with The Captain Seeks the Lost.

As the story opens, Captain Harry Richardson and his friends and family are still reeling from events that occurred when a stranger came to Choestoe to threaten Harry's wife and kidnap his son. In some way that he can't understand, Harry knows that all the frightening events of the past two years are related. The man who is behind it all is called "the Boss," and he is so feared by his followers that none of them will call him by name. The deacon who killed the sheriff may get away with murder if something isn't done to bring him to justice, but is he the Boss, or is there someone else out there who is calling the shots-someone even more frightening than the deacon? Harry is determined to find out. Then he receives a warning note:

Harry read it aloud. "If you care about your boy, don't try to find me."
Ned looked at the note over Harry's shoulder. "That's his] handwriting," he said. "No question about it. What are you going to do?"
Harry's voice was quiet, but dangerous. "I'm going to find him."
Ned nodded. "That's what I thought you'd say."
