THE SIBYLLINE ORACLES
Translated by Milton S. Terry

Canonical status....

century. It is about terrorism and anarchy, the throwing of bombs into innocent crowds. It is

THE HOPE OF THE GOSPEL
By George MacDonald
THE HOPE OF THE GOSPELS is a series of beautifully written sermons by George MacDonald.
In MacDonald's sermons and writings God never shouts. Rather, His is the urgent and
insistent voice Elijah heard on the mount, not speaking from the great and strong wind, the
earthquake or the fire. It is a still small voice that compels you to lean closer to learn the
secret....

THE HOLY BIBLE (In Five Volumes)
Translated by John Wycliffe, et.al.
In the late Fourteenth Century, John Wycliffe and his followers - the Lollards - at great peril to
themselves, became the first to translate the complete text of the Bible into English. This
"Beggars Bible" became a key event in the subsequent Protestant movement because it
allowed, not just Books of Hours and other fragments of the Biblical text, but the entire Bible
to be placed into the hands of the common people. For the first time persons other than
clergy could study the scriptures first hand.... (more)

THE NEW FREEDOM
By Woodrow Wilson
THE NEW FREEDOM... "is not a discussion of measures or of programs. It is an attempt to
express the new spirit of our politics and to set forth, in large terms which may stick to the
imagination, what it is that must be done if we are to restore our politics to their full spiritual
vigor, and our national life, whether in trade, in industry, or in what concerns us only as
families and individuals, to its purity, its self-respect, and its pristine strength and freedom...."
