  • My Devotional Movie Journal: Coffee and a Movie with God at Sunup

    Joel Brown

    eBook (, Sept. 30, 2019)
    If I asked you if you have ever watched a movie with Jesus, what would your thoughts be? "Oh, how religious." or… "What would we watch? Jesus movies?" How about… "The Lord is interested in the movies that we watch?" Yes, the Lord is interested in the movies you watch and you don't have to watch a Jesus flick to see Him in it but not just that He is interested in spending time with you as you would a friend, and what better way to do so then to invite Him to watch a movie with you. Enough said, when you go to a movie with Jesus anything can happen; as He might just multiply your refreshments and turn your water into soda, nevertheless, it might even become a 24-hour pure flix marathon that He can use to show His love to you. But if He did do those things, that's not why you should do it yet to spend time with Jesus as a friend in a contemporary way. For that very purpose, this digital journal might become a penchant for watching movies as a devotion to God in developing a close relationship with Him.

  • Slave Life in Georgia: A Narrative of the Life, Sufferings, and Escape of John Brown, a Fugitive Slave, Now in England

    John Brown

    eBook (, Feb. 19, 2012)
    Excerpt:My name is John Brown. How I came to take it, I will explain in due time. When in Slavery, I was called Fed. Why I was so named, I cannot tell. I never knew myself by any other name, nor always by that; for it is common for slaves to answer to any name, as it may suit the humour of the master. I do not know how old I am, but think I may be any age between thirty-five and forty. I fancy I must be about thirty-seven or eight; as nearly as I can guess. I was raised on Betty Moore's estate, in Southampton County, Virginia, about three miles from Jerusalem Court house and the little Nottoway river. My mother belonged to Betty Moore. Her name was Nancy; but she was called Nanny. My father's name was Joe. He was owned by a planter named Benford, who lived at Northampton, in the same State. I believe my father and his family were bred on Benford's plantation.

  • Seven Elements That Changed the World: An Adventure of Ingenuity and Discovery

    John Browne

    eBook (Pegasus Books, Feb. 4, 2014)
    From iron to uranium, titanium to silicon, this is “a wide-ranging look at scientific progress. It’s also a lot of fun” (The Wall Street Journal). Iron. Carbon. Gold. Silver. Uranium. Titanium. Silicon. These elements of the periodic table have shaped our lives and our world, in ways both good and bad. Combining history, science, and politics, this “lively, educational examination of civilization’s building blocks” reveals the fascinating story (Publishers Weekly). With carbon, we can access heat, light, and mobility at the flick of a switch. Silicon enables us to communicate across the globe in an instant. Uranium is both productive (nuclear power) and destructive (nuclear bombs). Iron is the bloody weapon of war, but also the economic tool of peace. And our desire for alluring gold is the foundation of global trade—but it has also led to the death of millions. Explaining how titanium pervades modern consumer culture and how an innovative new form of carbon could be starting a technology revolution, Seven Elements That Changed the World is an adventure in human passion, ingenuity, and discovery—and the latest chapter in a journey that is far from over.
  • Reminiscences of the Civil War

    John Brown Gordon

    language (Epoch Texts, July 15, 2018)
    John B. Gordon, by the end of the Civil War, had become one of Robert E. Lee’s most trusted generals.At the outbreak of the war, in 1861, he enlisted as a private soldier, and was elected captain of his company.His career was perhaps as brilliant as that of any officer in the Confederate army. In rapid succession he filled every grade — that of Major, Lieutenant-Colonel, Colonel, Brigadier-General, Major-General, and, near the end, was assigned to duty as Lieutenant-General (by authority of the Secretary of War), and while he never received the commission in regular form, he commanded, at the surrender at Appomattox, one half of the Army of Northern Virginia, under Robert E. Lee.He had the extraordinary talent of getting in front of his troops and, in a few magnetic appeals, inspiring them almost to madness, and being able to lead them into the jaws of death.Brown distinguished himself in many of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, including at Seven Pines, Antietam, Gettysburg, and Spotsylvania Court House.John B. Gordon’s remarkable activities are all recorded in vivid detail in his Reminiscences of the Civil War which allows the reader to fully understand the thoughts and actions of this fascinating man.This book is essential reading for anyone interested in how one man rose from relative obscurity to become one of the most formidable leaders of the American Civil War.“The mass of intelligent readers … will find it one of the best obtainable pictures of life in the Confederate army.” The American Historical ReviewJohn B. Gordon was an attorney, a planter, general in the Confederate States Army, and politician in the postwar years. After the war, Gordon strongly opposed Reconstruction during the late 1860s. A member of the Democratic Party, he was elected by the state legislature to serve as a U.S. Senator, from 1875 to 1881, and again from 1891 to 1897. He also was elected as the 53rd Governor of Georgia, serving from 1886 to 1890. Reminiscences of the Civil War was first published in 1903 and he passed away in 1904.
