Warren Books

I came across this book as I was preparing a presentation on 'divine hiddenness' for a philosophy of religion course. I bought it, thinking it would be a philosophical discussion on the subject. It isn't, not directly.

It was originally a series of lectures delivered during the 1930's, updated and revised for print in the 1950's by the author himself. It talks about the role of the artist, the problem (described by Tillich) in modern culture of man being reduced to "a mere thing", where the world has been arranged so that "everything is a means to ends which are themselves means", without any ultimate goal, and how the true artist offers mankind a vision to grow beyond this.

He also explores the relation between the vision/philosophy/activity of the various authors and the Christian vision/philosophy/activity towards life, at first in relation to virtue (courage, discipline), to the reality of evil as something that cannot be explained away, but must be confronted (this was hauntingly well done), to the experience of the eternal within the temporal (mostly Eliot), some kind of awakening/conversion (all the authors), the corrosiveness and destruction of rationalism of any sort (everyone but Hemingway), and redemption (mostly Warren). It wasn't overdone or proselytizing, it was an accurate and fair appraisal of the authors themselves (Hemingway is _not_ made into a Christian, etc.). I actually found it very corrective and illuminating for my own understanding of these things, it made them much more concrete, manifest, less obscure and theoretical, less campy and sub-cultured (I was an Anglican Christian derascinating from Protestant Evangelicalism at the time I read the book).

The conclusion again briefly revisits the role of the artist within a society as one who offers you a vision of reality and explores it, helps you encounter it; whereas most of what passes for art today is really kitsch, a narcotic playing on assumed sympathies, entertainment rolled off a factory line that deadens the mind and dulls the wits. He notes how these authors bring the reader to a new encounter with reality, and the author himself did this for me in the process, while whetting my appetite to read the authors he writes about.

I can't more highly recommend it. I would also read Adorno's _Critical Models_ along with this.

This is an excellent guide to understanding where modern churchianity and religiosity can actually be a distraction and a replacement from divine and biblical foundational doctrines, and is a simple organized approach to understanding where each of the major cults, sects, and religions deviate from the truth of God's Word.

This is an excellent book, well written and expertly researched.
Dr. Berg has provided a superb historical overview of this marvelous country and its rich history.

An excellent, concise introduction to the writing of history through the ages.

This is an excellent reference guide to placenames, geneaology, streets, and early title chains for these three communities. In addition, it is full of anecdotes regarding colonial life in Mid Coast Maine from the late 17th century almost to the end of the 19th century. Published in 1877-8, it is surprisingly accurate in its portrayal of events which took place two hundred years before. Most of the information comes from the records of the Pejepscot Proprietors, a group of wealthy men who had the grants from the King necessary for selling property to settlers. This book has been my best aid for framing out the history of a parcel or area of land in any of these towns. As a Professional Land Surveyor, I could not work in my field and have the most complete information in my files without it.

An exciting look at California through early 20th century eyes. An awesome journey and a great read.

For those interested in the American Revolution, this work is a must. Mercy Otis Warren, a witnesss to the Revolution from start to finish, offers here an eloquent, inspired, profound, and even reliable contemporary account of the epochal events that occured in the crucial period of American history beginning with the Stamp act and terminating with the adoption of the Constitution. However, unlike modern scholarly accounts of the Revolution, Warren makes no effort to remain unbiased. Throughout the work, she firmly and passionately upholds the cause and values of liberty and republicanism. Despite this, she still makes a concerted effort to portray accurately and impartially the events that took place. And while she is at all times staunchly supportive of the cause of the revolutionists, she is quick to condemn cruelty, inhumanity, dishonesty, immorality, and barbarity wherever she finds it.

With these principles firmly in mind, she relates the key figures and events beginning with the reaction to the Stamp Act in the mid-1760s. From this point, she provides an able and suprisingly veracious account of the principal political, military, and diplomatic occurences, as well as the ideological status of both the American and British people. In addition to this, she also makes a point to illuminate several important yet neglected individual and the part that they played in the struggle. The historical significance of such accounts are further augmented by the fact that Warren herself was personally acquanted, either in person or through correspondance. Her relationships, fortunately enough, were not restricted to obscure figures, but rather extended to many figures of enduring stature, such as John Adams.

Ultimately, the main value of the work is that it presents a contemporary scholarly exposition of the events of the American Revolution through the eyes of an individual who clearly embodied the libertarian and republican tendencies of the era. In the same vein, the work garners further importance as an example of the Anti-Federalist tradition. Warren, as many may know, was an outspoken opponent of the Constitution, writing as the reknowned "Columbian Patriot." The final chapter of this work offers further insight into this aspect of her though, so much so that Herbert J. Storing included it in his 7 volume collection of Anti-Federalist material.

Although the value of this work is immense, it goes without saying that one should not engage it as the definitive account of the Revolution. One should, of course, consult the works of modern scholars to gain a more comprehensive account of era. Still, Warren's volumes stand as perhaps the finest contemporary account of the Revolution, and they certainly deserve more attention than they have received in the nearly two centuries that they have been available.

I have been a tech company founder, investor and entrepreneur for more than 20 years. I have never before encountered such a complete and informative step by step guide for high tech marketing communications and product launch. Candia's book is a gold mine for people like me who want their marketing information by the numbers, and complete with "how-to" forms and templates. She knows what she is doing and tells us how to do it well in an east to read format. This is a fabulous support guide for a high tech marketing effort and the entrepreneurs making that effort!

Built around the development of this house, four novellas are arranged by four authors who interweave them expertly. Each author brings with her a style and story intimately her own. I highly recommend this collection. Although I may be new to this genre, I LOVED this book! Several of the tales won Best Novellas of the year 2003 from the American Christian Romance Writers' Association.
