The Episcopal Church is known as the "thinking person's religion"
to those of us that love her. It is a Church solidly grounded in
scripture, tradition, and reason. In this best selling book Doctor
Maynard explains why it is also a Church that will not accept
simplistic answers to complex questions. With humor and insight he
answers some of the following questions and others frequently asked
by inquirers. Why do Episcopalians read their prayers? Does God
like all that ritual? Can you believe anything you want and be an
Episcopalian? Why do Episcopalians reject Biblical Fundamentalism?
The inquirer will finish the book with a better understanding of
The Episcopal Church. Those that are already members will have the
reasons they became Episcopalians warmly confirmed. The author
gently reminds all readers that if you don't feel good enough to go
to any other church, The Episcopal Church welcomes you
Despite all of his acknowledged greatness, almost no one read
Edmund Spenser (1552-99) any more. Roy Maynard takes the first book
of 'The Faerie Queene, ' exploring the concept of Holiness with the
character of the Redcross Knight, and makes Spenser accessible
again. He does this not by dumbing it down, but by deftly
modernizing the spelling, explaining the obscurities in clever
asides, and cuing the reader towards the right response. (from Gene
Veith)
The masters of the great plantations ruled over those they believed
to be inferior to them. Their descendants often believe they are
entitled to this same position. With divine right they appeal to
their wealth and bloodline demanding that the unimportant in their
world be subservient to them. In Falls City, Georgia those in
positions of superiority utilize intimidation, slander, blackmail,
sex and even murder to get their way. In this seventh visit to
Historic First Church these powerful people have used their
influence to destroy the spirit of their own pastor and his family.
As in the previous books in this series, the readers find
themselves drawn into the lives of the colorful characters. Most
report that they believe several of these church folks live in
their own communities. Some readers even see themselves.
