Because what you believe is important... Frank Moore returns with
another helping of theological jargon made simple in More Coffee
Shop Theology . Bringing tough doctrinal concepts to an
understandable level for the average person, this second volume
tackles topics including prevenient grace, saving faith,
regeneration, predestination, baptism, tribulation, millennial
views, eternity and more. Life's complexities can take on the
simplicity God intended when discussing theology as if enjoying a
cup of coffee in a local cafe. Your understanding of theology 'the
study of God' becomes clearer through a 'grass-roots' approach.
More Coffee Shop Theology and the initial offering, Coffee Shop
Theology, provide basic, applicable instruction to assist you in
defining what you believe. Topics discussed in Coffee Shop Theology
include: the existence of God, the Trinity, Providence, Authority
of Scripture, Human Nature, Original Sin, Systemic Evil, the Deity
and Humanity of Christ and more.
Diary of the American Revolution from Newspapers and Original
Documents (Volume 1)
By Frank Moore
The materials of these volumes are taken from Whig and Tory
newspapers, published during the American Revolution, private
diaries, and other cotemporaneous writings. They present to the
student of this day the same view the readers of the revolutionary
period enjoyed - the manners and customs of the people, and the
moral and religious, as well as political features of the time.
As far as practicable, the language of the writers has been
preserved. For every assertion presented the reader will find an
authority which must be his guide in ascertaining its value in an
historical point of view; while, at the same time, he must keep in
mind the truth that the errors and lampoons of a period belong as
much to its history as the facts and flatteries.
Among the newspapers from which the editor has drawn his material,
no one requires an especial notice in this place; a history of the
periodical writers of the last century would in itself exceed the
limits of these volumes. Such a work would prove an interesting and
important addition to the literature of America.
In conclusion, the editor acknowledges his obligations for the many
favors and facilities extended to him by the various Historical
Societies of the United States, most especially to the officers of
the New York Historical Society, from whom he has received the most
valuable assistance.
Excerpt from Chapter I
January 1.--The chief troubles of our Israel are the Philantrops,
the Ilazlerods, the Sir Froths, the Tims, the Bens, and the Bobs.
These are men, who, for large shares in the American plunder, have
sold themselves to do wickedly. The barbarians who have been aiding
and assisting bad governors and abandoned ministers, in all their
attempts to subjugate and enslave these once happy colonies: the
hireling prostitutes who have been constantly representing to
ministry that the friends of liberty were a small, insignificant,
divided faction; that the people had not virtue to sacrifice any
parts of the profits of their trade, or the luxury of their living
for the sake of their country; or spirit to withstand the least
exertion of power. These are traitors who were for none but
licensed town-meetings, and gave administration the outlines of the
execrable Boston Port Bill and the other detestable bills for
destroying the charter, and those sacred compacts which Americans
once thought were of some value, the faith of kings being the
security. These are the unblushing advocates for pensioned
governors, dependent judges, hired attorneys, and sheriff created
jurors, that the people might, under color of law, by stript of
their property, without their...

Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage
of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality
reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable

This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images
of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also
preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics,
unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and
every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and
interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human
than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a
unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader
organically to the art of bindery and book-making.
We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection
resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and
their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes
beyond the mere words of the text.

Excerpt from Chapter I
January 1.--At the opening of the last year, the American cause
wore a sickly aspect. The Continental army, reduced to an
inconsiderable body, retired as fast as the enemy advance; and a
vast tract of country, from the Hudson river to the Delaware, lay
exposed tot he ravages of an insulting foe. Roused at length from
the lethargy which at first seemed to seize them, the militia
poured in to the assistance of General Washington, and gave his
little army an appearance of numbers. The fortunate surprisal of
the Hessians, and the brilliant manoeuvre at Princeton, first
checked the current of misfortune, and gave the tide of affairs a
contrary direction. General Howe, confining himself to the narrow
limits of Brunswick and Amboy, suffered us to invest him with a
handful of militia. The States wisely improved the breathing spell
which Heaven lent them; and such were the exertions of the winter,
that, before the British army took the field, we had a respectable
force on foot. A force, part of which, assisted by the gallant
militia of New York and New England, hath destroyed their northern
army; while the residue, though unable to stop the progress of
General Howe, hath nevertheless fought him bravely, and even now
limits...
