This work by Samuel Willard and updated and edited by Mike Christian is a series of sermons on 2 Timothy 4:5, "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof." It is a warning very pertinent to the times in which the church today finds itself. Samuel Willard (1640-1707) was a New England puritan Born in 1640 at Concord, Massachusetts, Samuel Willard was one of the most important preachers among the second generation of New England Puritans.

In the bestselling tradition of Rinker Buck’s The Oregon Trail and Tony Horwitz’s Confederates in the Attic, The Road That Made America is a lively, epic account of one of the greatest untold stories in our nation’s history—the eight-hundred-mile long Great Wagon Road that 18th-century American settlers forged from Philadelphia to Georgia that expanded the country dramatically in the decades before we ventured west.

The familiar shape of the United States, stretching from ocean to ocean, feels as solid and permanent as the continent itself. But that iconic silhouette was never inevitable; it is merely the current frame in a long and turbulent film of national evolution. This book tells the story of the American map, revealing how a fragile alliance of thirteen coastal colonies grew into a global power by acquiring, conquering, and negotiating for every square mile of its domain. The journey begins with the chaotic, overlapping charters of the colonial era and the first great challenge of the new ...

In the mid-nineteenth century, the United States was a nation divided by its own immense geography, with its two coasts separated by thousands of miles of formidable wilderness. This book tells the epic, unvarnished story of the monumental undertaking that sought to conquer that distance: the construction of the transcontinental railroad. It is a narrative of ambition, innovation, and conflict that physically and psychologically forged a new American nation. Beginning with the political battles that stalled the project for a decade, this account details the epic race between two competing ...

The land of innocence and bounty was exploding in violence... At the dawn of the 18th century, while the French and English are locked in a battle for the northeast territory, the ancient Indian tribes begin a savage brother-against-brother conflict—forced to take sides in the white man’s war—pushed into an era of great heroism and greater loss. In the tradition of James Fenimore Cooper’s The Last of the Mohicans, and the later adventure exploits of Daniel Boone and Jim Bowie, the First Frontier Series is a stunningly realistic adventure saga set on America’s earliest battleground...

Professor McCormac's first publication was White Servitude in Maryland, 1634-1820 (1904), an important investigation which has not been superseded. He followed this with an original and illuminating demonstration of Colonial Opposition to Imperial Authority during the French and Indian War (1911). By a curious coincidence, this investigation appeared at a moment when the State Senate was involved in discussion of "unpatriotic" teaching in the schools, and was heedlessly taken as an example of "false and disloyal history."

In 1781, the new United States was nearly bankrupt. As the American and French armies under Generals Washington and Rochambeau surrounded General Cornwallis and the British at Yorktown, James Lovell, Congressman, examined a captured, soiled letter. The numbers in General Cornwallis’s ciphered message might hold the key to the defeat of the British. Expert in encryption, James Lovell knew the answer to British loss could lie in his hands.
