Searching for the Good
Searching for the Good is a harrowing & very human examination of the myths & realities of war. Told through the author's personal journey, it also relates the story of that multitude of soldiers who served with honor in Vietnam, came home & went on with their lives in spite of much pain & torment. It's about youth & patriotism, pride & guilt & the horrors of ground combat. It's about returning, adjusting & never forgetting. It evokes the daily experience of life in the field & the rush of adrenaline in combat. It tracks the personal repercussions, positive & negative, on the lives of the survivors. For better or worse, was has shaped our country & it's citizens. It is an essential part of our outlook on life, our institutions & our policies & almost certainly our future. In this book the author--while capturing the universal experiences & feelings of the sixties generation--speaks out on behalf of the men & women who served in what some have said is "the only war America has ever lost." Many readers of this book have been both inspired & moved to tears by this "courageous account of a personal odyssey."
Trumpets from the Tower
This volume deals with English Puritan book printing and publishing in the Netherlands, especially in the cities of Amsterdam and Leiden, in the early seventeenth century. Because of censorship in England, many Puritans had to go abroad to have their books printed. Once produced by Dutch presses, the books were shipped, or smuggled, back to England. The book centers on a body of about 350 Puritanical books, mostly in the English language, printed in the Dutch Republic by Puritan printers in exile or by sympathetic Dutch printers. The book examines the chain of authors, printers, publishers, financial backers, smugglers, and booksellers involved. Zealous Puritan believers participated at each stage. This book is important for studying the relationship between Dutch printing and Puritan activities in Britain.

The Pilgrim Fathers and their Successors
Four hundred years ago, a small band of ordinary men and women set out on an epic journey from Britain to New England facing stormy seas, near starvation and death. What drove them to undertake this hazardous journey and endure such hardships? In this book, John Brown demonstrates that it was principally their desire for freedom to worship God according to their consciences. Their journey began long before the Mayflower set sail, and the author charts the persecution they had endured in Britain, their settling in Holland for a period, and all the events leading to their sailing in 1620, first from Southampton where they had gathered and then finally from Plymouth. The initial hardships, cold and many deaths experienced through the first winter in their new home only deepened their resolve to continue in dependence on God. Continuing difficulties gradually yielded to success and the addition of further emigrants to strengthen them and establish other colonies. This book covers events up to the uniting of these colonies in 1643. John Brown (1830-1922) was minister of the Bunyan Meeting in Bedford and is well known for his historical works.
