Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This collection of essays on Graham Swift's fiction brings together
the perspectives of renowned Swift scholars from around the world.
Authors look at the swift's oeuvre from different interpretative
angles, combining a variety of critical and theoretical approaches.
This book covers all of Swift's fiction, including his novels and
short stories; special emphasis, however, is on his most recent
books. By approaching Swift's work from a number of perspectives,
the volume offers a synthetic overview of his literary output. In
particular, it searches for thematic and formal continuities
between his early and more recent fiction, and attempts to
emphasize its new developments and interests.

The filthy back streets of London's East End in the Victorian era
were home to every imaginable crime, vice and horror. Many
thousands lived there without Christ and without hope, and no one
seemed to care. But William Booth did care. In 1865 Booth began a
mission which took the Gospel to these people. It became The
Salvation Army and changed the lives of many thousands as it spread
throughout London, Britain and the world, preaching a Gospel of
redemption and holiness. New edition of previously published
biography by one of the foremost authorities on William Booth and
the beginning of The Salvation Army. Sold over 24000 books.

The Left Behind books by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins have swept
across the Christian world. But what are the origins of such Left
Behind ideas as the pretribulation rapture and the sharp
distinction between Israel and the Church? The Origins of Left
Behind Eschatology begins by investigating the eschatology behind
the Left Behind stories, and selects eight teachings which are
essential to that way of understanding the End Times. It then
searches through the relevant documents produced by the Early
Church and many since the Reformation, looking for the origins of
each of those eight ideas and when and how they came together in a
system. There are plenty of surprises. The Origins of Left Behind
Eschatology is a slightly enlarged version of Bennett's PhD
dissertation. It has been called a "clearly argued, thoroughly
researched and overwhelmingly convincing thesis," the conclusions
of which "should ... dispel much of the uncertainty that has dogged
this area of millennial studies." (Crawford Gribben - author of
Rapture Fiction and the Evangelical Crisis). David Malcolm Bennett
was born in England during WW2, became a bookseller and moved to
Australia in 1973. He has been writing seriously since 1985 and now
writes fulltime. David has the degrees B.Th and M.Th (with merit)
through the Australian College of Theology and a PhD from the
University of Queensland (Australia). Amongst his other books are
Why Left Behind Should be Left Behind and The General: William
Booth (two volumes), all published by Xulon Press, and The Altar
Call: Its Origins and Present Usage, published by the University
Press of America. He is a member of Creek Road Presbyterian Church
in Brisbane, Australia.
