In Inherit the Holy Mountain, historian Mark Stoll introduces us to the religious roots of the American environmental movement. Religion, he shows, provided environmentalists both with deeply-embedded moral and cultural ways of viewing the world and with content, direction, and tone for the causes they espoused. Stoll discovers that specific denominational origins corresponded with characteristic sets of ideas about nature and the environment as well as distinctive aesthetic reactions to nature, as can be seen in key works of art analyzed throughout the book. Stoll also provides insight into the possible future of environmentalism in the United States, concluding with an examination of the current religious scene and what it portends for the future. By debunking the supposed divide between religion and American environmentalism, Inherit the Holy Mountain opens up a fundamentally new narrative in environmental studies.

After multiple supernatural visitations and prophetic dreams, the Lord birthed through Dr. Esther and Dr. Moussa Toure the Watchmen Prayer and Evangelism Movement, which is an expression of God's infinite love for souls. Through the movement, the Lord has brought together intercessors from more than one hundred nations. These watchmen, men and women, are eager to see multitudes of souls from all nations experience the joy of His salvation. One of the major developments of the movement in these last three years is the Watchmen 24/7 Prayer Mountain for the Nations," which was established and then confirmed by an open vision of the Father's heart. This book not only recounts the story of this movement but provides church leaders and everyday believers with the spiritual foundation and practical tools to develop and accelerate the ministry of intercession for billions of souls across the nations. It is a guide to help bring the church to its rightful position as a house of prayer for all people. The harvest is more plentiful now than ever before. May God grant you the grace to respond to His stirring to join this movement of united intercession.

California matters, both as a place and as an idea. What famed historian Kevin Starr has called "the California Dream" is a vital part of American self-understanding. Just as America was meant to be a place of renewal, even redemption, for Europe, so too California was intended as a place of renewal for America. Therefore, California--place and idea--provides a fertile ground for scholars to think deeply about what it means to articulate "the promise of American life." This book follows in the train of George Marsden's classic The Outrageous Idea of Christian Scholarship--believing that people of faith have a contribution to make to scholarship--and of Jay Green's more recent book, Christian Historiography: Five Rival Views--believing that scholars of faith should engage in moral inquiry. In this book, eight authors inquire into the moral questions that emerge from studying California.
