Michigan in the Novel records 1,735 novels published from 1816 through 1996 that are set wholly or partially in the state of Michigan. Consulting literally thousands of novels and visiting scores of libraries, Robert Beasecker spent more than twenty years researching this exhaustive bibliography. Works included are mainstream fiction, mystery and romance novels, juveniles, religious tracts, dime novels, and other marginal or popular genre literature. Omitted are short stories, poetry, drama, screenplays and pageants, and serially published novels with no subsequent separate publication. Through its six indexes, Michigan in the Novel provides literary and cultural access to Michigan novels, classifying novels by to title, series, setting, chronology, subject and genre, and Michigan imprints. Intended to serve as a guide for students, teachers, scholars, and readers to explore Michigan's vast, varied, and rich literary landscape, Michigan in the Novel is the most expansive compilation of its kind.
Long before Judy Garland sang Over the Rainbow, the denizens of Oz had already captivated the American reading public. The quintessential American fairy tale, L.

This is not the stereotypical approach to the Biblical record one has come to expect. Rather, Eugenia Price writes with the keen eye, ear and heart of an authentic storyteller. Her characters act, talk, and feel like real people. People you know. People you cannot forget. People God met on every level, in every conceivable circumstance, century after century. Beloved World is as much a must-read for the person who has never been acquainted with the Bible, as it is for the minister or teacher looking for fresh, vital material. To skeptics and saints of any variety, it declares that God is not silent. He does not change. He is forever involved with His creation. From the beginning, through every age, with eternal and total love!
