Book Description
There has hardly ever been in my ministry a series of sermons to which I have given more time, more pain and more prayer than I did to this series from Philippians 3. A. W. Tozer called these sermons the most important he ever preached. Looking closely at Philippians 3, he describes the Christian as a modern-day Lazarus who hears the call to arise—but can't escape the grave clothes. In this new series of sermon transcriptions, Tozer shows us how to live with freedom. Toward a Deeper Faith gives us Tozer’s sermons on: Considering Perfection in the Christian Life Four Kinds of Christians Discovering the Loveliness of Jesus Christ The Will of God and Its Relationship to Our Cross The Obstacle of Self Trust Living in His Righteousness . . . and more. We are heirs to the King, and Tozer wants us to reclaim our heritage. Return again and again to Tozer’s twelve sermons that will bring you into a deeper life of love and maturity in Jesus Christ.

Book Description
Race, from the beginning and more than any other element, has shaped America's institutions, its economics, politics, laws, social structures, and political attitudes. Congressman Jackson considers race to be the focal point of America through the language of the economy because "the economy is the hearing aid through which Americans hear all political dialogue." In this thought provoking work, Jackson provides ample documentation and insightful analysis of the inextricable link between race and economics. More important Jackson proposes a radical economic strategy and program of new human rights that would build A More Perfect Union for all Americans and put them in a better position to come to grips with this enduring American legacy.

Book Description
Gwendolyn Wilson Dean is a Dallas, Texas born author. She is the author of A More Perfect Way, a written project designed to provide a personal learning experience suitable for developing character and qualities relative to superior social status or prestige. This rendering presents charm, etiquette, civility, and social grace as a code of behavior that delineates expectations for social behavior according to contemporary conventional norms within a society, social class, or group—the effortless conduct, grace, or attractiveness one uses to interact in social or official life. The intentional courteousness and politeness with which one administers societal traditions, traits, behaviors, activities, and interests will determine the quality of life one reveres and hopes to enjoy.

Book Description
Toward a More Perfect Union is an extraordinary book of husband-and-wife letters written during the Civil War, selected from the Frederic E. Lockley Collection at the Huntington Library in San Marino, California. Appearing here are 162 letters exchanged between Frederic Lockley and his wife Elizabeth, chosen from 405 letters preserved in the collection. The survival of such two-way exchanges is rare. Few soldiers in the field had the opportunity to save letters from home. The Lockleys' selected letters narrate a chronological three-year story, from 1862 to 1865. When Frederic enlisted at thirty-seven, he and Elizabeth promised each other they would write twice a week and, for the most part, they did. These are not average letters. A published author, Frederic was remarkably insightful and articulate and Elizabeth was literate and expressive as well. Although primarily a love story set during the Civil War, Toward a More Perfect Union also offers ample military material, some not well represented elsewhere in Civil War literature. Frederic wrote of life in garrison duty in defense of Washington, manning the siege lines at Petersburg, and guarding Union parolees and Confederate prisoners of war. But his letters also show strong ties to home and his need for those ties in order to maintain his own mental and emotional equilibrium in the face of the horrors of war. Elizabeth's letters reflect an urban setting and the perspective of a young, recently married woman who spent much of her time parenting three young children from Frederic's first marriage. In fact, children and parenting assume a theme in Fred and Lizzie's correspondence almost as constant and consequential as the war itself. Providing background and framework for these exceptional letters, editor Charles E. Rankin's introduction and contextualization create a continuous narrative that allows readers to follow these correspondents through a time critical to their marriage and to our nation's history.
