First published in The Gettysburg Review, Wilson's novella takes us
into an odd office world of the temporary employee where the work
makes no sense, where catching up can bring about the end of an
assignment but unemployment can come anyway in an instant with a
wrong word or gesture, where tomorrow is never the same.
In Ian Randall Wilson's first collection, HUNGER AND OTHER STORIES,
his characters are driven by intense yearnings for the satisfaction
of their most basic human desires. Some want intimacy, others
acceptance, approval, security. All are thwarted by personal
shortcomings, or the shortcomings of others, in their attempts to
fulfill their longing. Here are stories of fathers and sons who
cannot get along, people who use friendship merely as an avenue to
career advancement, lovers for whom even sex isn't a way of
communicating. Fourteen stories which "despite their restlessness,"
North American Review editor Robley Wilson says, "glitter with
persistent hopes."
It's a remarkable story. It spans 140 years and crosses cultures
and continents. It has revolutionized hundreds of thousands of
lives and it has had a radical impact on churches and communities.
It has launched new mission movements and pushed forward the
frontiers of the gospel. And it continues to grow, as Christians
the world over see the urgent need for spiritual renewal. Why has
this happened? What are the marks of this spiritual movement? In
'Knowing God Better', Jonathan Lamb introduces the big priorities
that shape the Keswick movement, priorities that are essential for
the well-being of Christians and local churches around the world
today.
An important contribution to the understanding of twentieth-century
Anglicanism and evangelicalism This volume makes a considerable
contribution to the understanding of twentieth-century Anglicanism
and evangelicalism. It includes an expansive introduction which
both engages with recent scholarship and challenges existing
narratives. The book locates the diverse Anglican evangelical
movement in the broader fields of the history of English
Christianity and evangelical globalisation. Contributors argue that
evangelicals often engaged constructively with the wider Church of
England, long before the 1967 Keele Congress, and displayed a
greater internal party unity than has previously been supposed.
Other significant themes include the rise of various
'neo-evangelicalisms', charismaticism, lay leadership, changing
conceptions of national identity, and the importance of
generational shifts. The volume also provides an analysis of major
organisations, conferences and networks, including the Keswick
Convention, Islington Conference and Nationwide Festival of Light.

Gloucester is one of rugby's most famous clubs. Home of 'The Shed',
Gloucester ended a long period of underachievement by winning the
Powergen Cup in 2003, having reached their first domestic cup final
for thirteen years. Written by BBC Radio Gloucestershire's Ian
Randall, this is the story of the time between the defeat by Bath
and the win over Northampton - one of the most dramatic periods in
Cherry-and-Whites' history - told through the reminiscences of
those directly involved.

Every four years, the United States elects a President. And
every four years, that President makes a speech, outlining his
goals and plans for the coming term. Presidential inaugurations are
Constitutionally mandated. Inaugural speeches, however, are just a
tradition, but an enduring tradition.
The tradition of inaugural speeches began with George Washington
speaking to a joint session of Congress in the Senate Chamber of
Federal Hall in New York City. It has continued all the way up to
Barack Obama's speeches on the West Front of the Capitol to crowds
that overflowed the National Mall.
Presidential historian Ian Randal Strock has compiled every one
of the 58 Presidential inaugural addresses into this volume. Also
included are descriptions of the elections that brought those
Presidents to office, as well as information on the various
inaugural ceremonies.
This edition is updated to include every inaugural speech
through Barack Obama's second inaugural in January 2013.
