Book Description
The Tyranny of Heaven argues for a new way of reading the figure of Milton's God, contending that Milton rejects kings on earth and in heaven. Though Milton portrays God as a king in Paradise Lost, he does this neither to endorse kingship nor to recommend a monarchical model of deity. Instead, he recommends the Son, who in Paradise Regained rejects external rule as the model of politics and theology for Milton's fit audience though few. The portrait of God in Paradise Lost serves as a scathing critique of the English people and its slow but steady backsliding into the political habits of a nation long used to living under the yoke of kingship, a nation that maintained throughout its brief period of liberty the image of God as a heavenly king, and finally welcomed with open arms the return of a human king. Michael Bryson is a Visiting Assistant Professor of English at Northwestern University.

Book Description
With over one million copies in print, this classic from Charles E. Hummel has transformed the minds and hearts of generations of Christians. Its simplicity and depth is a foundational resource for all who have felt overwhelmed by the responsibilities of each day, week, month and year. Hummel starts with Jesus' own model of work and ministry, a model that is at once unrushed and focused. From there he lays out how we can all set and live by priorities in a way that frees us from the tyranny of the urgent. Charles E. Hummel, who died in 2004, is the author of many books. He was president of Barrington College in Rhode Island and director of faculty ministries for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA. Now thoroughly revised and expanded, Hummel's booklet ffers ideas and illustrations for effective time management to help even the busiest people find time for what's really important.

Book Description
Among maternal deities of the Greek pantheon, the Mother of the Gods was a paradox. Conflict and resolution were played out symbolically, Munn shows, and the goddess of Lydian tyranny was eventually accepted by the Athenians as the Mother of the Gods and a symbol of their own sovereignty.
