A MYSTERIOUS LETTER IGNITES AN EXPLOSIVE CHAIN OF EVENTS FROM THE SOUTH CAROLINA LOWCOUNTRY TO THE OUTER BANKS. An execution-style murder next to the Port of Charleston triggers an intensive police investigation to find a killer. In an apparently unrelated incident a year later, three complete strangers each receive an anonymous letter offering a financial windfall with a detailed set of instructions…and an ominous threat for failing to comply. The strangers must travel alone from Charleston to Daufuskie Island off the coast of Hilton Head, South Carolina. Hoping to find answers, they instead become pawns in a clever and elaborate scheme planned by the ruthless boss of a Miami drug cartel. When Detective Steve Harris finally discovers the crucial link between the murder and the missing strangers, he launches a frantic race against time, the cartel, and a deadly hurricane, to find them before they disappear for good.
Modern churchgoers often find the reality of original sin inconvenient. Of course, people acknowledge remorse and personal guilt as a present reality, but these feelings are hurriedly suppressed. Most people assume that they are basically good and innately innocent, but the Bible, history, and society’s current situation demonstrate otherwise, and the church needs to hear preaching that includes the biblical diagnosis. Conviction of sin can hurt deeply and collides with prevailing norms, but it is meant to drive sinners to the only remedy available—Jesus. This book is an invitation to revisit the doctrines of sin and salvation as they impact daily life. It is an unvarnished look at the Bible and a period in history when preaching fostered a sense of need in the general population, resulting in awakenings and large revivals. Today, serious Christians are invited to pause and take a long look at the state of the church and their own hearts.
In this rich interdisciplinary study, Hildegard Hoeller argues that nineteenth-century American culture was driven by and deeply occupied with the tension between gift and market exchange. Rooting her analysis in the period's fiction, she shows how American novelists from Hannah Foster to Frank Norris grappled with the role of the gift based on trust, social bonds, and faith in an increasingly capitalist culture based on self-interest, market transactions, and economic reason. Placing the notion of sacrifice at the center of her discussion, Hoeller taps into the poignant discourse of modes of exchange, revealing central tensions of American fiction and culture.
