This collection of essays seeks to redress the negative and marginalizing historiography of Pusey, and to increase current understanding of both Pusey and his culture. The essays take Pusey's contributions to the Oxford Movement and its theological thinking seriously; most significantly, they endeavour to understand Pusey on his own terms, rather than by comparison with Newman or Keble.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Chosen to Be a Minister's Wife provides a candid and enlightening look into the life and ministry of Joyce Rogers, wife of the late Dr. Adrian Rogers. "Being a minister's wife is a calling from God. I was married to Adrian for 54 years before the Lord took Adrian home.

From the wheat fields and bargain stores of rural Manitoba, Ben and Helen Eidse were the first missionaries sent overseas by their churches. On the African savannah they partnered with the Chokwe-Lunda who taught them language, culture and proverbs, which Ben used to explain salvation.

On January 28, 2006, at nine o'clock in the morning, I suffered an aneurysm of the thoracic aorta. It was a severe pain that was ripping through my body from the upper chest down into the lower stomach and into my lower back. Immediately I realized that I was at the point of death, and if this was my last and dying breath, I wanted my wife to be assured of my deep and everlasting love for her My first words were, "Evelyn, I love you " Once I arrived at the emergency room and was taken into surgery, I lost track of the many days that went by while they frantically fought to save my life. Even though I was on life support and comatose, I was deeply aware of the Lord's presence with me. I died five times while on the operating table and at least two more times during other procedures. I saw the extraordinary beauty of heaven and heard the terrifying horrors of hell-many voices howling and wailing. While I was in heaven, I found my two moms: my mother and mother-in-law. I asked the Lord, "Can I stay with them?" They were eating and enjoying themselves. I laughed and they turned around, looked at me, and smiled. I started to run toward mom . . .

It was the winter of 1947 when C. David Priest, then five years old, first hears his aunt Rosalee tell the vivid and frightening story of the Whippanini man, a strange presence that only comes out when darkness falls. Terrified and curious all at the same time, it is later that same night after David falls asleep that he sees the Whippanini man for the first time, forever transforming his innocent life.

As the spectral presence haunts David in his sleep, his aunt relays more stories that cause him to begin to question everything in his life-and all who have passed away before him, including a cousin reported to have looked just like David. But at night, nothing can stop Whippanini from invading David's dreams, at least temporarily, and seemingly warning him of tragic events about to occur. As the years pass and Whippanini disappears, David wonders if the presence was just a figment of his childhood imagination. Little does he know that the Whippanini man is about to make his presence known again.

"The Whippanini Man" shares one man's struggle with a fearful manifestation as he walks back into his past and he hopes to find his true self.
