Books with author Christian Robinson

A brief guide to Christianity based on the teachings of the new testament.Some excerpts:"However believing in God today is more relevant than ever. Christianity and the message of Jesus Christ is all about our relationship with the people around us.""Those who believe and imitate Jesus Christ in the showing of love to others essentially are guaranteed their own resurrection and spiritual continuity after death. There is life after death (salvation) for all who follow Jesus Christ in their behavior and treatment of others.""Of course certain things have changed in the last 2000 years. When the new testament was written women 's rights were different to what they are now. Also beliefs in premarital sex and gay rights have changed. So some of the material in the new testament is old fashioned. However this is no reason to dismiss the whole text."

If you've read other accounts of the Dyers that have repeated the same information over and over for 350 years, you just might be blown away by what the author has learned from primary historical sources like court records, the Dyers' handwriting, the journals of their friends and enemies, natural history events, and modern evidence unavailable to the early Quaker historians. Mary Barrett Dyer gets all the ink when it comes to fame for the brilliant couple from London, who emigrated to Boston in 1635 and co-founded Portsmouth and Newport, Rhode Island in 1638 and 1639. Mary had the monster baby, and she was martyred for committing civil disobedience to the Massachusetts theocratic government. Her husband William was the first attorney general in America, co-founded the first democracy in America, and was a trusted member of Rhode Island's government, who made his mark in the 1663 charter of liberties which became a model for the United States Constitution 130 years later. The "Wall" of New York's Wall Street was raised because of him. William and Anne Marbury Hutchinson were mentors and intimate friends of the Dyers. The Dyers' descendants became governors and senators in New England--and a President or two can claim them as ancestors. In this nonfiction companion book to the biographical novels "Mary Dyer Illuminated" and "Mary Dyer: For Such a Time as This," you'll learn --in short, fascinating, illustrated chapters-- the culture and events that shaped Mary and William Dyer, and the history that they shaped for us. Who were their friends and enemies? Who were their parents, and was Mary the secret child of the royal Stuart and Seymour lines? What did they eat, and how did they treat illnesses and injuries? What was their everyday life between the big events? What did they look like and how did they dress? What did they do for fun? What were the fashions in clothing, music, and literature? What was the religious belief behind the labels assigned to them by later historians? What commonly-held myths about the Dyers should be blown to smithereens?
