Demonic Possession and Exorcism in Early Modern England
This book is exclusively devoted to demonic possession and exorcism in early modern England. It offers modernized versions of the most significant early modern texts on nine cases of demonic possession from the period 1570 to 1650, the key period in English history for demonic possession. The nine stories were all written by eyewitnesses or were derived from eyewitness reports. They involve matters of life and death, sin and sanctity, guilt and innocence, of crimes which could not be committed and punishments which could not be deserved. The nine critical introductions which accompany the stories address the different strategic intentions of those who wrote them. The modernized texts and critical introductions are placed within the context of a wide-ranging general Introduction to demonic possession in England across the period 1550 to 1700.
Hand Dryers
Simply the world's most complete collection of hand dryers. Who knew that something so normal, so instantly forgetful, so remarkably unremarkable could be such a thing of beauty and intrigue? This book, based on Samuel's Instagram site @handdryers, documents a stalwart of industrial design, an item so everyday and prosaic, yet each one with so much vitality. The evocative photographs, taken around the world from Ukraine to Los Angeles, showcase the variety of design, and their relationship to the environment - some ooze nightclub sex appeal and dazzle; some a clinical sleekness; others a work-horse charm. The stories they could tell.
Ghosts of the Shephelah, Book 3
The phrase “When there was no king in Israel” is used by Hebrew scribes to justify the rejection of God as King in preparation for a long-desired earthly king. All so they could be like everyone else. Deborah’s leadership and Yael’s bravery are explored. “The Levite’s concubine” sheds more light on the distasteful story of human trafficking by giving a voiceless Adina the ability to tell her tale of abuse. The hopeless dilemma of Naomi reveals how women with no rights had to conspire to overcome the adversity faced in trying to obtain justice in a male-dominated society. Naomi demonstrates how the church has “cleaned up” her story to make Ruth appear as a temple of purity and an example of untarnished morals. Finally, Saul is called upon to defeat King Nahash and rescue the people of Yabesh. When the people cry for a king, God relents, and Samuel anoints Saul. Saul calls upon God to give him victory over King Agag, but he disobeys God’s first command. Disobedience leads to Saul’s downfall and sets the stage for David to be anointed, the second king of Israel.

What Jeremiah didn’t know was that his parents had been protecting him from a war that has been waging since before he was born. A war between the humans of this world and the supernatural. A war that humanity is losing. A prophecy was written that in a time of great need a Protector will be chosen to battle back the evil. To bring balance between good...

Save Me Stranger
"There are two things I can never escape: Luke and fear. I still feel his hands on me; I still see the rage in his eyes. He said he'd find me. He promised to kill me. I believe him. I cannot escape my reality." When she first spoke these words, my heart froze into a cold, lifeless stone. Even now, these are the words that ring and echo endlessly through my mind. I want to help her, to make her feel safe the way she did before. But with a madman searching endlessly for her and the pressure of his threats still terrorizing her, how can I save her? Is it possible for a stranger to save a stranger?
