At the end of the thirteenth century, the oppressed people of Scotland rebelled against their despised English ruler, Edward Longshanks. In Freedom's Cause recounts the Scots' desperate but ultimately triumphant struggle in the face of overwhelming odds — a hard-fought series of battles conducted under the leadership of William Wallace and Robert Bruce.
Time has burnished the feats of these great heroes to mythic proportions, but Wallace and Bruce were real people. This gripping tale of courage, loyalty, and ingenuity recounts their deeds within an accurate historical context. Readers join their company alongside a fictional protagonist, young Archie Forbes, whose estates have been wrongfully confiscated. Archie forms a group of scouts to fight alongside the legendary Scottish chieftains (who were memorably portrayed in the film Braveheart) for their country's independence.
In Freedom's Cause is one among the many historical novels for young readers by George Alfred Henty. A storyteller who specialized in blending authentic historical facts with exciting fictional characters, Henty produced more than 140 books and achieved a reputation as "The Prince of Storytellers." Immensely popular and widely used in schools for many years, Henty's novels continue to fire young imaginations with their spirited tales of adventure amid exciting historical eras.

From the Publisher
Sometimes we ask What is God’s will for my life? when we should really be asking Who should I be? The Bible has an answer: Be like the very image of God.
By exploring ten characteristics of who God is—holy, loving, just, good, merciful, gracious, faithful, patient, truthful, and wise—this book helps us understand who God intends for us to be. Through Christ, the perfect reflection of the image of God, we will discover how God’s own attributes impact how we live, leading to freedom and purpose as we follow his will and are conformed to his image.

God doesn't always answer our prayers according to our clock. And too often we despair when we needn't-because we don't understand. Sometimes, by our standards, he seems to be late. We wonder if he is coming at all. But this little book shows us that God is always right on time- because his timing is kairos in our life's experiences and the situations in which we find ourselves. The Rev. Canon Michael Stewart (an Anglican priest in British Columbia) contrasts and compares God's perfect kairos timing with our worldly clock and calendar sense of time. Michael Stewart shows us that learning at least something of God's timing is a foundational experience, like learning to tie our shoes or use a fork and knife, and that it is a necessary part of maturing in Christ.

A Story of Old Paris
The narrative here presented is offered to the reader as a picture of a state of society which has passed away for ever.
It aims at reflecting the men and women of the “old régime” as they acted, thought, and suffered; especially taking note of those who, in that age of infidelity and corruption, yet lived and walked “as seeing Him who is invisible.”
