That Lass O’ Lowrie’s
Frances Hodgson Burnett's "That Lass o' Lowrie's" offers a poignant exploration of class struggles and personal resilience in 19th-century England. The narrative, enriched by Burnett's trademark lyrical prose, unfolds in the industrial town of St. Helens, where the titular character, a young girl named Lowrie, navigates her tumultuous life amidst the dreary backdrop of coal mines and socio-economic disparity. Through vivid depictions of her intimate world and the social complexities surrounding her, Burnett captures the harsh realities faced by the working class, while hinting at the possibility of hope and transformation. The book is emblematic of the naturalistic literary movements of its time, offering a realistic portrayal that resonates with contemporary readers. Frances Hodgson Burnett, born in 1849 in Manchester, was deeply influenced by her own experiences of hardship and migration to America. These personal challenges, coupled with her fascination with human resilience and the quest for belonging, profoundly shaped her literary voice. Notably, Burnett's dedication to depicting the lives of both children and the disenfranchised showcases her commitment to social issues, settings that mirror her childhood struggles and her belief in the transformative power of kindness and courage. I highly recommend "That Lass o' Lowrie's" to readers interested in rich character studies that delve into themes of social justice and personal growth. Burnett's ability to illuminate the human condition through the lens of her characters makes this work a timeless reflection on resilience, inviting readers to consider their own role within societal constructs. This novel remains a touching testament to the strength of the human spirit.

Ghosts of the Shephelah, Book 7
Next to the apostle Paul, Luke is the best-known author in the New Testament. Yet, he is more than likely the one we know the least. As a physician, we know Luke was from a well-to-do family. Excellence in Greek grammar demonstrates he was well educated. How and where he came into the company of Paul, we know not. We do know that by the time Paul arrived in Troas, Luke was part of the entourage. This fact is evinced when Luke's writing turns from third person to first person omniscient in Acts 16:10. From that point on, Luke writes from firsthand experience. His desire to put forth an accurate account of the life of Christ displays a deep commitment by witnessing his faith in the risen Lord. How and where he researched his gospel information is unknown as Jesus' parents would most certainly have passed away by the time he met Paul. Did Luke marry? Was he ever married? How did he come to witness the life of Christ to Theopolis? Join Luke in a journey into the past and discover a life most fascinating. Relive the events and forces that endeavored to eradicate our faith.

Years in the cavalry provided Nathaniel Peak with more than his share of violence and adventure. That life behind him, he wants nothing more than to settle down in the beautiful Montana mountains and raise his own stock--in peace.
