Annals of a Quiet Neighborhood (The Cullen Collection #6)
by George MacDonaldThe story of a young minister and his flock—first in the Scottish author&’s Marshmallows Trilogy including The Seaboard Parish and The Vicar&’s Daughter. MacDonald&’s first major English novel, published in 1867, was set in the village of Arundel on the downs south of London near the south channel coast. It was the site of MacDonald&’s first and only pastorate as a newly married minister in 1851-53. This book is wonderfully descriptive of the region, with autobiographical hints of MacDonald&’s outlook as a young pastor. Chronicling the daily life of one of MacDonald&’s fictionalized &“ideal ministers&”—perhaps a portrayal of the shepherd-pastor MacDonald had himself hoped to be—the Annals proved one of his most popular novels. First released in the Sunday Magazine, which was intended for &“Sabbath reading,&” Annals of a Quiet Neighbourhood was quickly published in numerous book editions and contributed in a significant way to MacDonald&’s growing popularity in America. Though less spine-riveting of plot, the three volumes of the Marshmallows Trilogy spawned by Annals provide some of MacDonald&’s most homiletic and deeply spiritual writings.

Others are unexpected guests. But all, through their relationships, struggles, prayers, and desires, uniquely illuminate our shared experience When she arrived in the New World at eighteen, Anne Bradstreet was a reluctant passenger:her old, comfortable lifestyle in England was quickly dashed against the rocks of the MassachusettsBay. While the wilderness of America and the drama of establishing the Massachusetts Bay Colony at times overwhelmed her, she always took refuge in the belief that it was God's plan. Anne respected the Puritan teachings and followed them her entire life, always searching for God's hand in everything around her.

She managed her home, educated her children, encouraged her husband, and sought her Lord--all with a poet's heart.
Anne Conway: The Principles of the Most Ancient and Modern Philosophy
by Anne Conway Allison P. Coudert Taylor Corse Karl Ameriks Desmond M. ClarkeAnne Conway was an extraordinary figure in a remarkable age. Her mastery of the intricate doctrines of the Lurianic Kabbalah, her authorship of a treatise criticising the philosophy of Descartes, Hobbes, and Spinoza, and her scandalous conversion to the despised sect of Quakers indicate a strength of character and independence of mind wholly unexpected (and unwanted) in a woman at the time. Translated for the first time into modern English, her Principles of the Most Ancient and Modern Philosophy is the most interesting and original philosophical work written by a woman in the seventeenth century. Her radical and unorthodox ideas are important not only because they anticipated the more tolerant, ecumenical, and optimistic philosophy of the Enlightenment, but also because of their influence on Leibniz. This fully annotated edition includes an introduction which places Conway in her historical and philosophical contexts, together with a chronology of her life and a bibliography.
