Journey to the Center of the Earth (Dover Thrift Editions)
by Jules VerneAn adventurous geology professor chances upon a manuscript in which a 16th-century explorer claims to have found a route to the earth's core. Professor Lidenbrock can't resist the opportunity to investigate, and with his nephew Axel, he sets off across Iceland in the company of Hans Bjelke, a native guide. The expedition descends into an extinct volcano toward a sunless sea, where they encounter a subterranean world of luminous rocks, antediluvian forests, and fantastic marine life — a living past that holds the secrets to the origins of human existence.Originally published in 1864, Jules Verne's classic remains critically acclaimed for its style and imaginative visions. Verne wrote many fantasy stories that later proved remarkably prescient, and his distinctive combination of realism and romanticism exercised a lasting influence on writers as diverse as Mark Twain, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Jean-Paul Sartre. In addition to the excitement of an action novel, Journey to the Center of the Earth has the added appeal of a psychological quest, in which the sojourn itself is as significant as the ultimate destination.

Journeying with God: A survey of the Old Testament: Student Workbook
by Greg TrullThroughout history, Bible scholars have described the story of the Old Testament as a journey. The people of God are journeying with Him toward their ultimate destination. But this is not an easy journey for God's people. When their relationship with God is going well, they are on a mountaintop. When they rebel and their relationship with God becomes cold and distant, they are in a valley. This sequence happens time and time again. In fact, the whole history of the Old Testament is a series of peaks and valleys, ups and downs-like a long roller-coaster ride! The Old Testament takes up most of the pages in the Bible. In this course, you will gain a new understanding of these thirty-nine Bible books. In Journeying with God, you'll see how the people and events of the Old Testament fit into the big story of God's activity throughout history. Your understanding of the New Testament will become deeper and more insightful. And your relationship with Jesus will take on a richer meaning.
Joy to the World!: The Forgotten Meaning of Christmas
by Isaac Watts Paraclete PressVery few people know that the Christmas hymn favorite "Joy to the World" was not written for Christmas at all. Isaac Watts wrote "Joy to the World" in imitation of Psalm 98. The psalm is about the Messiah who comes in glory, righteousness, and victory over evil, to judge the world and comfort the faithful. In other words, Watts meant "Joy to the World" as a spiritual reflection on Christ's soon-to-be, expected, triumphant return to earth. This book explores this theme and other writings of Watts, as a way of preparing our hearts for the wonder and holiness of Christmas morning.

Jude the Obscure
by Thomas HardyPowerful and controversial from its 1895 publication to the present, Jude the Obscure scandalized Victorian critics, who condemned it as decadent, indecent, and degenerate. Between its frank portrayals of sexuality and its indictments of marriage, religion, and England's class system, the novel offended a broad swath of readers. Its heated reception led the embittered author to renounce fiction, turning his considerable talents ever afterward to writing poetry.Hardy's last novel depicts a changing world, where a poor stonemason can aspire to a university education and a higher place in society--but where in reality such dreams remain unattainable. Thwarted at every turn, Jude Hawley abandons his hopes, is trapped into an unwise marriage, and pursues a doomed relationship with his free-spirited cousin, Sue Bridehead. The lovers find themselves equally incapable of living within the conventions of their era and of transcending its legal and moral strictures. Hailed by modern critics as a pioneering work of feminism and socialist thought, Hardy's tragic parable continues to resonate with readers.
