"This book traces the relationship between Thomas Jefferson and William Short that was developed in years shared in France, carried forward through the French Revolution, Short's return to the United States, and on into Jefferson's retirement. It describes Jefferson's lifelong concern for Short's moral well-being and his practical management of Short's career and estate. It analyses disagreements between the two men over land use, American politics, French culture, and the meaning of the French Revolution. It places Short's disinclination to follow Jefferson's advice within the larger context of the problematic transfer of republican values in the Early National period of US History, while describing how each man sought to make an imaginary yet heartfelt father-son relationship work"--

The island of Crete was a tough place. It was to the Roman world what the urban ghettos and favelas of today's great cities are to our neighborhoods. Paul needed a young missionary with energy, zeal, wisdom, determination, faith, and courage to embark on a mission to the fabled but fateful home of the Minotaur and the mythological birthplace of Zeus. Charged with the task of finding elders for the churches and grounding these churches in the faith of the Apostles was the unenviable task given to a driven, passionate young preacher named Titus. The instruction of the missionary-theologian Paul to one of his sons in the ministry beckons the reader to follow into the Labyrinth of Crete and see that in both the first century and in the contemporary urban setting, God's redemptive grace is adequate to change both life and eternity.
