‘To make a revolution is to subvert the ancient state of our country; and no common reasons are called for to justify so violent a proceeding’
Burke’s seminal work was written during the early months of the French Revolution, and it predicted with uncanny accuracy many of its worst excesses, including the Reign of Terror.

Have you ever wondered why it seems like you are standing still – even though you are on a planet that is moving through space? Albert Einstein wondered why. Do you know what the famous equation E=mc2 means? Einstein could have explained it! Do you know why black holes exist? In this engaging book, author Paul Fleisher answers these and many more questions as he looks at the laws of relativity and quantum mechanics.
With easy-to-understand concepts and experiments, readers are introduced to the basic principles of modern physics in an exciting way.
In this short book for serious scholars only, Michael digs deeply into complex scientific theories and humanistic realities in an exploration of the nature and origins of human consciousness and an attempt to explain the very thing that makes us who we are.
This book is part art history, part biblical study, part philosophy, and part analysis of the human experience; but it's all story. The lives of the artists in this book illustrate the struggle of living in this world and point to the beauty of the redemption available to us in Christ. Each story is different. Some conclude with resounding triumph while others end in struggle. But all of them raise important questions about humanity's hunger and capacity for glory, and all of them teach us to love and see beauty.
Abigail Adams lived through the Revolutionary War and became the First Lady of the second president of the United States. Though women of her time could not vote, govern, or own property, Abigail believed that women should not be ruled by laws they did not make.
Although she did not see these rights come to women, she never gave up talking, writing, and perhaps most important, believing that women were equal to men. Her courage and strength enabled her to help her husband create a new country. She never fired a gun, but her pen was a weapon that helped win freedom for her country—and herself.
A poetic novel of despair, hope, and the redemptive power of work deepens an award-winning author’s grand Port Williams literary project.
After losing his hand in an accident, Andy Catlett confronts an agronomist whose surreal vision can see only industrial farming. This vision is powerfully contrasted with that of modest Amish farmers content to live outside the pressures brought by capitalist postindustrial progress, and by working the land to keep away the three great evils of boredom, vice, and need.
As Andy’s perspective filters through his anger over his loss and the harsh city of San Francisco surrounding him, he begins to remember: the people and places that wait 2,000 miles away in his Kentucky home, the comfort he knew as a farmer, and his symbiotic relationship to the soil. Andy laments the modern shift away from the love of the land, even as he begins to accept his own changed relationship to the world. Wendell Berry’s continued fascination with the power of memory continues in this treasured novel set in 1976.

Our customers are familiar with the comprehensive and well-written historical texts of Dorothy Mills. Now Memoria Press is making available her excellent text on the Renaissance and Reformation. There are, of course, strong opinions about some aspects of this crucial period of modern history, but history itself is and should be an objective account of what happened, not an editorial on what happened, and Mills succeeds marvelously in giving readers a neutral ground on which to base their understanding of the history of this exciting time.

It is only a matter of time before declining churches will have closed their doors for good because no one sounded the alarm.’
Our culture is becoming increasingly hostile to Christianity, and despite church planting becoming more popular; our churches are dying more quickly than we can plant new ones. We are struggling to reach our communities for Jesus.
In this timely and much needed book, John James urges us to wake up to this crisis. John argues that if we are to build up existing church members and reach new ones for Jesus then we can’t simply pull the plug on dying churches in favour of planting new ones. John honestly and warmly shares his own experiences of revitalisation and his passion to see churches transformed by the God who delights to resurrect the dead.
This book is an essential read for those considering this kind of ministry, or for those who want to understand the role revitalisation can play in the re–evangelisation of our nation.
Our K–12 school system is an artificial product of market forces. It isn’t a good fit for all—or even most—students. It prioritizes a single way of understanding the world over all others, pushes children into a rigid set of grades with little regard for individual maturity, and slaps “disability” labels over differences in learning style.
Caught in this system, far too many young learners end up discouraged, disconnected, and unhappy. And when they struggle, school pressures parents, with overwhelming force, into “fixing” their children rather than questioning the system.
From the Publisher:
The book of Revelation is both intriguing and intimidating. We want to know what the future holds for believers but the strange creatures, cryptic numbers, and stark warnings contained in the book puzzle us and the future remains a mystery. We decide Revelation is just too difficult and give up on understanding its message.
In these undated devotions, Bible teacher, Justin Mote, reassures us that the book of Revelation ‘is not as daunting as we might think’. Justin helps us to understand the unfamiliar pictures by showing us their roots in the Old Testament and uses reflection questions to encourage us to apply the message of this book to our lives today.
Getting to grips with Revelation can lead to wonderful blessing, assurance about the future, and great encouragement to keep going as a Christian now.
