Beneath their much-glimpsed surfaces lie sights and sounds sure to enchant both tourists and residents. This nontraditional travel guide explores the historic streets and tucked-away nooks of both cities. Visit H. P. Lovecraft’s tomb and Edgar Allan Poe’s favorite garden, search ordinary buildings for extraordinary art, see the servants’ side of life during the Gilded Age, and find green parrots where they would be least expected. Whether the goal is fine

In Divine Providence, Swedenborg explains why it is that we cannot always see God’s hand in our chaotic world. Why tragedy and war are allowed to happen and how these things relate to us. If God were to remove all tragedies from our lives, of what worth would free will be?

More than twenty years ago a drunk driver shattered Jack Clayton’s family. Angry, confused and as naïve as any college freshman, he trades his small Midwestern town for another, only to find that it too is too small to contain his dreams. Or is it? Now an instrumental part of the Campus Missions Office and a New York Times Bestselling author, he makes his home in that very college town, where the past and “the one that got away” relentlessly haunt him and the future becomes increasingly uncertain thanks to a big city reporter with a malicious agenda. Will he have to walk away from the

God continues to speak to-day as He spoke in former times to our fathers when there were no directors as at present, nor any regular method of direction. Then all spirituality was comprised in fidelity to the designs of God, for there was no regular system of guidance in the spiritual life to explain it in detail, nor so many instructions, precepts and examples as there are now. Doubtless our present difficulties render this necessary, but it was not so in the first ages when souls were more simple and straightforward.

This book offers an answer to one of the most difficult problems of religious belief: why does a loving God allow humans to suffer so much? Swinburne argues that God wants us to learn and to love, to make the choices which make great differences for good or evil to each other, to form our characters in the way we choose; above all, to be of great use to each other. If we are to have all this, there will inevitably be suffering for the short period of our lives on Earth. This controversial work concludes Swinburne’s acclaimed four-volume philosophical examination of Christian doctrine.
