Ribbon of Love
Ribbon of Love is a beautiful romantic story of colonial America woven within the framework of history. Because so much of the story is based on actual people and events from the Eastern Shore of Virginia, it is like the print version of a docudrama. An Appendix at the end of the book delineates the facts from fiction by chapter. "Faced with possible torture for their religious beliefs, Henry and Mary Pattenden flee 17th century England, experience a perilous trip across the Atlantic only to arrive on the barbaric shores of pre-Revolutionary War America where they endure further hardships in the colonial and primitive days of America with Indian massacres, illness, death, loneliness, love and greed to practice their Christian faith in this historical novel."

The Grand Masters of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Alabama 1811-2011
Freemasons contributed to America and the state of Alabama through their patriotic service and philanthropic work since 1811, but little is known about their backgrounds. Utilizing the bonds of their fraternity, but without fanfare, the freemasons built schools, orphanages, nursing homes, provided for the sick and elderly, fought wars, and were an integral part in building the state of Alabama and our country. They were, simply put, 'the epitome of good patriots and citizens.' As wife of one of the Grand Masters, Donna R. Causey, had the unique opportunity to work with Alabama's Grand Lodge to provide biographical data into the lives and backgrounds of all the Grand Masters of Freemasonry in...
Patriots Twice
A “timely” look at the roles played by ex-Confederates after the war, in politics, academia, the military, industry, and more (Midwest Book Review). The long and bloody American Civil War claimed the lives of more than 700,000 men. When it ended, former opponents worked to rebuild their reunified nation and move into the future together. Many people will find that surprising—especially in an era witnessing the destruction or removal of Confederate monuments and the desecration of Confederate cemeteries. In this unique and timely book, award-winning author Stephen M. Hood identifies more than three hundred former Confederate soldiers, sailors, and government officials who reintegrated i...

Content Area Reading and Literacy
"Students and teachers have long appreciated the scope of topics and examples, the research-based information, and the accessible writing style presented by these three trusted authorities in the field of adolescent literacy. This seventh edition includes up-to-date information to help teachers address the literacy needs of English learners in their classrooms and today's culturally diverse student population, while also addressing new frameworks for reading and writing instruction, including a sociocultural perspective on teaching and learning and insights from the New Literacies. As in previous editions, this seventh edition is based on the assumption that, rather than just a mere add-on, “content literacy is integral to every discipline and special subject area, to the teachable moments that make less stellar ones tolerable, and, most important, to each student's motivation and engagement with learning.” The ideas the authors present are backed by research, tested in real classrooms, and designed to help teachers apply what is useful to their own particular disciplines. The ideas they share-both new and from "--Publisher.

He Will Save You from the Deadly Pestilence
"Jews and Christians alike have made Psalm 91 one of the most commonly used and cited parts of the Bible. The psalm has shaped theories of politics and government, not to mention influencing medicine and mysticism. In different ages, the psalm has borne many different names: the Song of Evil Spirits, the Soldier's Psalm, and most concisely, the Protection Psalm. As the Song of Plagues, it has gained a whole new relevance in an age of global pandemic. In the New Testament, Satan himself quotes the psalm, and ever since, that text has both reflected and shaped changing concepts of evil and the demonic. It was and still is used for magical and superstitious purposes, including for exorcism and demon-fighting. As perils and threats have changed and evolved in various societies, so interpretations of Psalm 91 have developed to accommodate each new reality. A biography of Psalm 91 is also a history of critical themes in Western religion"--

Events That Changed the Course of History: The Story of Alabama Becoming a State 200 Years Later
Sweet Home Alabama — the skies are blue and the history is deep. Its distinctive culture stands as a pinnacle of the Deep South with a football team that has won more than 15 national championships, tasty local specialties like pulled pork and fried dill pickles, and a southern drawl that’s sweet as Sorghum molasses. But there’s more to Alabama than what meets the eye. Before Alabama became one of the shining stars on the American flag, its history had already begun. Alabama 200 years ago was a very different place. Before Alabama was even a speck in the eyes of white settlers, native populations thrived upon its rich red soil. But when Europeans landed in the New World, everything cha...
