For most of our history, American religious life has been dominated
by a view of church history in which we appear as mere deposits of
European religious culture. In fact, however, the freedom of
Americans to choose without penalty to join any religious body or
none at all is new in human history. This book is an effort to
understand and interpret how we arrived at our present situation
and, in doing so, to clarify many cultural, social and political
issues.How will American Protestants respond to the historical
shift from Protestant dominance to more fluid conditions, in which
Catholicism and Judaism also have great force and influence? By the
anxiety expressed in anti-Semitism and anti-Catholicism? By
reaffirming "the American tradition"?In answer, the author explores
the very categories that have shaped our study of American church
history. Without false ideals of the past, he can perceive the
uniqueness of the situation today. The true Golden Age, he argues,
lies, if anywhere, in the years just ahead; and through his
realistic analysis he encourages that honest "consciousness of
calling" that will determine whether religion in America is to be
vital or effete.

Midlife is a season of challenge and change-professionally,
relationally, physically, and spiritually. On our better days, we
experience a sense of growing clarity and satisfaction about who we
are. We might even be coming to terms with our limitations and
vulnerabilities, letting go of some dreams and creating new ones.
But many days, we are overwhelmed and exhausted by the intense
transitions of this season, leaving us feeling off-balance and
insecure. And these challenges reverberate through our marriages,
making us wonder how we're going to survive. Though many assume
that "midlife" is synonymous with "crisis," Dorothy Littell Greco
reminds us that it doesn't have to be that way. The demands of
midlife actually force us to adjust and adapt, providing new
opportunities for discovery and growth within our marriages. With
vulnerability and insight, Marriage in the Middle will inspire and
encourage you to invest in your relationship with your spouse,
enabling you both to thrive as you face the challenges and changes
of this era together.
A tight, captivating story of a naive child's encounters with a
Soviet dictator, the 20th novel by Robert Littell Leon Rozental-ten
and a half, intellectually precocious, and possessing a disarming
candor-is suddenly alone after the death of his nuclear physicist
father and the arrest of his mother during the Stalinist purge of
Jewish doctors. Now on his own and hiding from the NKVD in the
secret rooms of the House on the Embankment, the massive building
in Moscow where many Soviet officials and apparatchiks live and
work, Leon starts to explore. One day, after following a
passageway, Leon meets Koba, an old man whose apartment is
protected by several guards. Koba is a high-ranking Soviet official
with troubling insight into the thoughts and machinations of
Comrade Stalin.In this taut and layered novel, New York Times
bestselling author Robert Littell deploys his deep knowledge of
this complex period in Russian history and masterful talent for
captivating storytelling to create a nuanced portrayal of the
Soviet dictator, showing Stalin's human side and his simultaneous
total disregard for and ignorance of the suffering he inflicted on
the Russian people. The charm and spontaneity of young Leon make
him an irresistible narrator-and not unlike Holden Caulfield, whom
he admits to identifying with-caught in the spider's web of the
story woven by this enigmatic old man.

"Oh my human brothers, let me tell you how it happened."
A former Nazi officer, Dr. Maximilien Aue has reinvented
himself, many years after the war, as a middle-class family man and
factory owner in France. An intellectual steeped in philosophy,
literature, and classical music, he is also a cold-blooded assassin
and the consummate bureaucrat. Through the eyes of this cultivated
yet monstrous man we experience in disturbingly precise detail the
horrors of the Second World War and the Nazi genocide of the Jews.
Eichmann, Himmler, Goring, Speer, Heydrich, Hoss--even Hitler
himself--play a role in Max's story. An intense and hallucinatory
historical epic, The Kindly Ones is also a morally challenging
read. It holds a mirror up to humanity--and the reader cannot look
away.
Tim Littell has a Master's Degree in Human Resource Development and
over 30 years of experience developing Training and has Leadership
experience with major corporations and international companies.
Here's what some of those who worked with Tim had to say: "I truly
enjoyed working with Tim Littell. He is what all managers should
be; a leader who could guide others to excellence." (Bob Miner,
Training Center Manager, Mitsubishi Motors)"Tim is an intelligent,
motivated, and caring individual. He is a great leader and led his
training team at Mitsubishi to accomplish a bigger vision. His
leadership was subtle, seamless, and natural." (Cindi Sinden, DENSO
Sales of California)"When he took over the leadership of the
National Training Department, he instituted several innovations
that really took our training program to the next level...We were
finally working together as a finely oiled machine " (Rick LaVarta,
Training Center Manager, Mitsubishi Motors)Tim approaches
Leadership from an unapologetically Christian viewpoint, starting
where all authority actually begins, with God, and his initial
command to Adam: "Be fruitful and multiply." Using the analogy of a
fruit tree, Tim takes you through the various stages of a leader's
development, starting with the seed, sprouting into a sapling,
growing into a mature plant, and finally becoming a fruit-bearing
tree. Modes of Leadership include Farmer, Gardener, Caretaker, and
Harvester, and a couple extra modes of leadership used for special
circumstances, Firefighter and Chef.Tim helps you think your way
through several questions every leader has: How do you know if you
are a leader? Is there a difference between a leader and a manager?
What makes a leader different from those they lead? Is Leadership
an innate ability or is it something that anyone can learn and
develop? How do we reproduce ourselves as leaders? How does a
leader actually get the authority to lead? Designed to be used as a
text for Leadership Training
Paradoxia Epidemica is a broad-ranging critical study of
Renaissance thought, showing how the greatest writers of the period
from Erasmus and Rabelais to Donne, Milton, and Shakespeare made
conscious use of paradox not only as a figure of speech but as a
mode of thought, a way of perceiving the universe, God, nature, and
man himself. The book consists of an introduction (historical and
topological) and sixteen chapters grouped according to broad types
of paradox: rhetorical, theological, ontological, epistemological.

Rob Littell was a freshman at Brown when he met JFK, Jr. Although
Littell came from a privileged background, it was worlds apart from
the glamorous life of the son of the late President and Jacqueline
Kennedy Onassis.Eager to be accepted on his own terms, Kennedy
responded to Littell's irreverence toward his celebrity and they
became close friends.
Littell recounts dinners at Jacqueline Onassis's apartment-where
she surprised him with his favorite of specially burned
hamburger-and weekends at her retreat inMartha'sVineyard, where she
critiqued their touch football. As students, Littell and Kennedy
bummed around Europe. Later, they shared apartments in New York.
Later still, Littell was part of John's secret wedding to Carolyn
Bessette on Cumberland Island, Georgia and three years later a
pallbearer at his funeral.This is an intimate, detailed and
affectionate memoir of an unusual young man by a close
friend.
Professor Colie brings together all previous and partial
perspectives on Andrew Marvell, adds new ones harvested from her
own deep learning and wide research, and transforms the whole into
what Professor Joseph Summers of the University of Michigan has
called "the best critical book on Marvell's poetry." Rich in
details and knowledge of seventeenth-century English poetry,
aesthetics, Renaissance and Baroque literature and art, and
critical theory, "My Ecchoing Song" first examines Marvell's uses
of theme and device in various lyrics. Later parts of the book
concentrate on "Upon Appleton House" and "The Garden," which
Professor Colie reads from the various focuses of political
history, Marvell's knowledge and use of emblems and classical
authors, contemporary theology, philosophy, and painting.

A noted historian of Renaissance English literature and scholar of
comparative literature, Rosalie L. Colie was also a serious poet.
This volume brings together 31 of her poems, illustrating the
striking interplay between her scholarship and her personal
response to the world. The title poem and the shorter poems that
follow testify to Professor Colie's versatility as a poet. There
are sonnets, elegies, metaphysical speculations, pastorals, love
poems all imbued with the intelligence and sensibility that
pervaded her life and work. Originally published in 1975. The

In this, her last book, Rosalie L. Colie suggests that by linking
"forms"--verse forms, devices, motives, themes, conventions,
genres--to the culture from which a writer springs and to his
selection and organization of materials, we can understand the
processes by which he becomes what he is, and is enabled to do what
he does. She is particularly concerned with uncovering the ways in
which Shakespeare used, misused, criticized, re-created, and
sometimes revolutionized the received topics and devices of his
craft. In this sense, Shakespeare's plays are seen as problem
plays, each exploring the problematics of his craft and revealing
his assessment of what was problematical. The author has chosen for
study topics which connect Shakespeare with the long and rich
continental Renaissance, in the hope that in the future Shakespeare
might be, like Dante and Cervantes, an essential author in a
comparatist's education. Usually a single topic dealing with some
formal aspect of a play--the use of stereotypes to create a
character highly original in stage practice, or the various
manipulations of a mode (the pastoral, for example) rich in
potentialities--is used to try to see in what particular ways
Shakespeare shaped works that are still unique. Originally
