As the celebrated political philosopher Patrick Deneen explains in this eye-opening book, the Odyssey is also the most American of ancient texts. Like Odysseus, Americans have two fundamental impulses: we are a people simultaneously animated by commitments to being at home and leaving home. Deneen shows us that the deep ambivalence at the heart of the Odyssey is also our own—as some of our greatest books and films attest, from Huckleberry Finn to The Wizard of Oz to Field of Dreams.

For generations, the Newcastles, Mackenzies, Atkinses, Hyltons, and Hollinses have endured the hard red soil of Mars—surviving by individual grit, intense family loyalty, and free market trade. Scarred by World War III and Earth’s long, violent aftermath, they built farms, raised domes, forged alliances, and carried old grudges to a new world. Together, the Martians have forged a frontier society that is complex, ornery, and rooted in the freedom of the Texas soil from which many of the clans sprang.

In Expository Thoughts, J. C. Ryle intricately divides the Gospels into manageable sections of about twelve verses, highlighting two or three key insights for readers to reflect upon. At a time when detailed commentaries were plentiful, Ryle sought to create a resource tailored for the everyday Christian, perfect for family prayers, visiting the sick, or personal devotion for those with busy lives who cannot engage with lengthy texts. This volume is the second of two on St. Luke, complementing previous works on St. Matthew and St. Mark. Ryles heartfelt intention was to promote pure and ...

As I share this new collection of hymns, I feel compelled to offer a few thoughts on its purpose. This volume is not intended to be a comprehensive anthology of the finest English hymns. Instead, my primary focus has been on providing comfort for the ailing and spiritual nourishment for Christians in their private moments. I firmly believe that profound thoughts often linger in our memories as poetry, while prose may fade away. The hymns included in this collection cover a wide array of themes, specifically chosen to resonate with the hearts of all true Christians, regardless of their ...

This undertaking is not merely a supplement to the Expository Thoughts series; it is a comprehensive exploration that offers a thorough analysis of the text.
