Product Description
I have had no word from you for a long space. You wrote me a letter from Scotland after the death of your wife¿s mother, and full of pity for me also; and since, I have heard nothing. I confide that all has gone well and prosperously with you; that the iron Puritan is emerging from the Past, in shape and stature as he lived; and you are recruited by sympathy and content with your picture; and that the sure repairs of time and love and active duty have brought peace to the orphan daughter¿s heart. ...

Product Description
We stand at a turning point in the history of global health care. AIDS, new pandemic diseases and environmental disasters are taking a toll on many of the world's populations. At the same time, first world nations are dealing with an emerging centenarian demographic that is making unprecedented demands for long-term care. Access to health care services is the common thread that is uniting individuals, corporations and governments in their quest to sustain the health and well-being of their societies.

While health care systems have an immediate and direct impact on our lives, most of us find our understanding to be limited by personal experience. In this overview, emerging practices and trends that have a significant impact on economics and industry around the world are explored. Focusing in on the major players – the highly developed, industrialized countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) – you will find multiple viewpoints on what international health care systems do and do not provide and how they are managed.

Across the globe, the issues faced by patients, health care providers, funders and stakeholders are shaping the world that we live in.

Product Description
God in three persons, blessed trinity!" The words of the hymn are sung in churches across the denominational spectrum from Assembly of God to Roman Catholic. For someone not steeped in Trinitarian doctrine, though, the question arises: "God in three what?" This book closely examines the term "persons" in the Trinity doctrine. What does it mean when Christians say that there is one God in three persons or, as some have said it, three persons in one God? This book is written for all those who have heard the Trinity doctrine taught and described in their churches but have never really understood it. Follow the author through the examination process that led him from the oneness doctrine to believing in the Nicene and Constantinopolitan Creeds as they are used in Eastern Orthodox churches today." ...

Mostly about Chaucer and Stevenson.
The title is a little deceptive.In fact, this book is mostly about Chaucer and his era, 220 pages worth.Stevenson gets a fair shake at 106 pages.But Carlyle gets only 12 pages, and Tolstoy only four, and those arather simplistic critique of his philosophy.So only buy the book ifyou're interested in the former two writers.

As in most of Chesterton'sbiographies, the story of the subject's life is of minor interest here,compared to a philosophical and artistic description of the subject's worksin the context of his time and "modern times."Chesterton isinterested in the writer as a thinker, as a creator, and as a moral agent. In defending Stevenson and Chaucer, he argues for his view of Christianity,poetry, love, and artistic humility.If you want his religious views in apurer form, go to the brilliant Orthodoxy or Everlasting Man. If you want adetailed narration of the lives of the writers in question, look elsewhere. And even for this style of biography, I think his book on Dickens was thebest I've read.But I found his opinionated description and defense ofChaucer and his times also very interesting.And while he does not scatterbrilliant sayings like rose petals at a wedding, as in his best books,(reading Everlasting Man, I wanted to copy every other sentence) a fewblossoms do flutter down, like the following, which also explainChesterton's method:

"The truly impartial historian is not he who isenthusiastic for neither side in a historical struggle. ..The trulyimpartial historian is he who is enthusiastic for both sides.He holds inhis heart a hundred fanaticisms."

"The greatest poets of theworld have a certain serenity, because they have not bothered to invent asmall philosophy, but have rather inherited a large philosophy.It is,nine times out of ten, a philosophy which very great men share with veryordinary men.It is therefore not a theory which attracts attention as atheory."

Author, Jesus and the Religions of Man (July2000)

Chesterton!
G.K. Chesterton, best known for his Father Brown detective stories, also stands out as a remarkable literary critic.He is most astute on Stevenson, his greatest influence, rightly seeing him as the first greatwriter to find beauty in a modern city.A must! ... Read more

Product Description
Homesick: It's the young boy at summer camp who cries himself to sleep because he misses his family; it's the sailor standing on the deck of his ship oblivious to his surroundings as he tries to make his gaze follow his thoughts beyond the horizon toward home. It's a feeling that is not assuaged by friends or frivolity or work or anything else that is not, well, home. Homesick is not another book about heaven, of which there are many. It's about you and me and the rest of the body of Christ, and the attitude of our hearts as we live in this present wicked world. It's about where we are, where we need to be and the distance in between. It's about being able to say with the Apostle John, "Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!" (Revelation 22:20). ... Read more
