Final Chapters
"The milkman cried when I told him you were dead. 'Last night,' I said, 'Mark died.'" This collection brings together 30 short stories and poems about dying and bereavement. Written by mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, wives, husbands and dying people, these moving pieces talk honestly about how it feels to care for someone who is dying, to grieve for a loved one, and to face death oneself. A candid story about a daughter's relationship with her mother's carer; an internal monologue on dementia; a deeply moving poem about losing a son to cot death; and a heartfelt story about a mother's end of life are some of the poignant pieces included. This collection provides an opportunity to think and talk about death and dying, too often a taboo subject, and offers readers the rare comfort and support of shared experience.
I Longed To Gather You
Modern technology bids us go forward, as it rightly should. The call of God, conversely, is and ever will be a call to return. In spirituals, the true is the tried and proven. God calls us to the old paths; he calls us back to himself. Modern man will find healing, for his many ills, in no other way. In this critical hour of history the call has never been more urgent. The downward spiral will not reverse if we continue to ignore God’s clarion call. "Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land; but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword." For the mouth of the LORD has spoken. Isa 1:18-20 Roger Kirkpatrick
A Time for Truth
There is little doubt that we live in troubled times. An inexplicable darkness has fallen upon our land, and goodness, morality, and truth are fading rapidly into our past. The church, God's ordained means of recovery, is seemingly unequal to her task. As prophesied by the apostle Paul, the great juggernaut of apostasy and the rise of anti-Christian forces are progressing apace. To combat this, author Roger Kirkpatrick presents A Time for Truth: Answers for Troubled Times, a collection of rhyming verse, Scriptures, and commentary offering answers to help us weather these remarkably challenging times. This volume provides inspirational elements and addresses current situations in the world. After each poem, Kirkpatrick offers the Scriptures that enlighten the message of the poem, along with a further explanation of the meaning of both through quotes or in his own words. This collection of poetry seeks to convey the truth of the Scriptures to spark interest in the deeper meaning of the Christian faith. A Time for Truth is a theological study in rhyme offering a call to a new commitment and dedication to all who read it.
Spiritual Home
A Spiritual Home explores congregational life inside British and American Reformed churches between 1830 and 1915. At a time when scholars have become interested in the day-to-day experience of local congregations, this book reaches back into the nineteenth century, a critically formative period in Anglo-American religious life, to examine the historical roots of congregational life.Taking the perspective of the laity, Cashdollar ranges widely from worship and music to fund-raising and administration, from pastoral care to social work, from prayer meetings to strawberry festivals, from the sanctuary to the kitchen. Firmly rooted in broader currents of gender, class, notions of middle-class respectability, increasing expectations for personal privacy, and patterns of professionalization, he finds that there was a gradual shift in emphasis during these years from piety to fellowship. Based on records, publications, and memorabilia from about 150 congregations representing eight denominations, A Spiritual Home gives us a comprehensive, composite portrait of religious life in Victorian Britain and America.
