Book Synopsis One Small Candle by : Francis J. Bremer
Download or read book One Small Candle written by Francis J. Bremer and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""One Small Candle tells how the religious values of the Pilgrims prompted their settlement of the Plymouth Colony and how those values influenced the political, intellectual, and cultural aspect of New England life a hundred and fifty years before the American Revolution. It begins in early seventeenth-century England with their persecution for challenging the established national church, and their struggles as refugees in the Netherlands in the 1610s. It then examines the challenges they faced in planting a colony in America, including relations with the Native population. The book emphasizes the religious dimension of the story, which has been neglected in most recent works. In particular it focuses on how this particular group of puritan congregationalists was driven by the belief that ordinary men and women should play the determinative role in governing church affairs. Their commitment to lay empowerment is illustrated by attention to the life of William Brewster, who helped organize the congregation in its early years and served as the colony's spiritual guide for its first decade. The participatory democracy that was reflected in congregational church covenants played a greater role in the shaping of Massachusetts churches than has previously been accepted. This outlook also influenced the earliest political forms of the region, including the Mayflower Compact and local New England town meetings. Their rejection of individual greed and focus on community was an early form of an American social gospel. ""--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the author of GENTLEMAN OF FORTUNE, The Adventures of Bartholomew Roberts, Pirate. Also Available in Kindle format. William Bradford is just eighteen when he leaves England with the Separatist congregation to move to Holland. The congregation eventually settles in Leyden, but, battling to make a living, they decide to move again, this time to America. Severe opposition to the Separatist faith hinders the Pilgrims' efforts to secure permission to emigrate. The voyage on the Mayflower is plagued with difficulties and terrible sickness. But the Pilgrims make it to Plymouth, New England where they begin the struggle to build a colony. William Bradford as the governor of that colony is their strength. But can his determination bring them through near starvation? Can he control mutinous newcomers? Can he protect them from Indians? Can he turn around failed harvests? As the colony grapples with the wilderness, Will's heart aches for a forbidden love. ONE SMALL CANDLE is the story of the birth of a nation, and is based on the true story of William Bradford and the Pilgrim Fathers.

Download or read book One Small Candle written by Francis J. Bremer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-30 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four hundred years ago, a group of men and women who had challenged the religious establishment of early seventeenth-century England and struggled as refugees in the Netherlands risked everything to build a new community in America. The story of those who journeyed across the Atlantic on the Mayflower has been retold many times, but the faith and religious practices of these settlers has frequently been neglected or misunderstood. In One Small Candle, Francis J. Bremer focuses on the role of religion in the settlement of the Plymouth Colony and how those values influenced political, intellectual, and cultural aspects of New England life a hundred and fifty years before the American Revolution. He traces the Puritans' persecution in early seventeenth-century England for challenging the established national church and the difficulties they faced as refugees in the Netherlands in the 1610s. As they planted a colony in America, this group of puritan congregationalists was driven by the belief that ordinary men and women should play the deciding role in governing church affairs. Their commitment to lay empowerment and participatory democracy was reflected in congregational church covenants and inspired the earliest political forms of the region, including the Mayflower Compact and local New England town meetings. Their rejection of individual greed and focus on community, Bremer argues, defined the culture of English colonization in early North America. A timely narrative of the people who founded the Plymouth Colony, One Small Candle casts new light on the role of religion in the shaping of the United States.

Book Synopsis One Small Candle: The Pilgrims’ First Year in America by : Thomas Fleming
Download or read book One Small Candle: The Pilgrims’ First Year in America written by Thomas Fleming and published by New Word City. This book was released on 2017-01-11 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This vivid, deeply moving book begins in London in 1620 as Pilgrim representatives sign a contract to purchase the freighter Mayflower. We accompany them on their harrowing voyage across the Atlantic, through the rigors of the first New England winter and the threat of Indian attack as they desperately search for the home they eventually find at Plymouth. Once there, they must continue the struggle against brutal weather and disease. With masterly skill, New York Times bestselling historian Thomas Fleming gives us life-size portraits of the Pilgrim leaders. The Pilgrims' unique achievements - the Mayflower Compact, their tolerance of other faiths, the strict separation of church and state - are discussed in the context of the first year's anxieties and crises. Fleming writes admiringly of the younger men who emerged in that year as the real leaders of the colony - William Bradford and Miles Standish. And he provides new insights into the humanity and tolerance of the Pilgrims' spiritual shepherd, Elder William Brewster. On the first Thanksgiving, the Pilgrims are already aware that they are the forerunners of a great nation. It is implicit in William Bradford's words, "As one small candle may light a thousand, so the light kindled here has shone unto many. . . ."

Book excerpt: The irony of Sarah's life was watching this remarkable child battle for survival while teaching us how to fully live. Hope Is Everything: Sarah's Story is more than a narrative of one child's courageous fight against the terminal disease of cystic fibrosis. It is a study into how a child approached life with fulness and joy despite her tremendous obstacles. The best-seller and successful television movie, Alex: the Life of a Child, stirred an interest in CF twenty years ago. Since then this interest has dramatically increased. CF is on the cutting edge of gene therapy and promises for a cure. It is heralded as a forerunner for what may follow for many other diseases as well. Newspapers are continually flooded with announcements on CF's progress. It has generated much public notice. Though Alex is still in print, a tribute to its lasting quality, it is now outdated. Medical information has drastically expanded, and Sarah's Story reflects all this. A must-read.
