Imploding relationships, incapacitating losses, injurious personal mistakes, or spiritual failures—whatever the issue, the wounds are the same. Whether it’s a lapse in judgment by Bathsheba or the moral failure of the women’s ministry leader in your local church; the spiritual insensitivity of Martha or the compulsive obsessions of your church’s care circle chairwoman; the terror of an abandoned single mother like Hagar or the struggling single mother in your prayer group—the time and circumstances are different, but the wounds are equally deep and spiritually devastating. Dena Dyer and Tina Samples get it. They have their own stories of pain before healing—along with similar experiences of their families and friends. Offering more than pat affirmations or vicarious shoulders to cry on, Dena and Tina delve deep into the shared emotions and injuries that women of all ages have in common—and move readers toward the recovery and healing that only God can provide. No matter what hurts you’ve experienced, Wounded Women of the Bible proves that God understands and that healing is not only His intention but His delight! This is a book not to be missed!

"Rachel Dyer: A North American Story" by John Neal is a historical novel set in early colonial America, focusing on the Salem witch trials. First published in 1828, it is considered one of the earliest American novels to explore this dark chapter in history. The story revolves around Rachel Dyer, a fictional character, and her experiences during the infamous witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts, in the late 17th century. Through Rachel's perspective, the novel delves into the hysteria, fear, and injustice that characterized the period. John Neal uses the narrative to critique the societal and religious fervor that led to the persecution of innocent people, particularly women, accused of witchcraft. "Rachel Dyer" is notable for its early exploration of themes such as individual conscience, the dangers of mass hysteria, and the moral complexities of justice. Neal's portrayal of the characters and the social environment provides a critical reflection on the impact of the trials on the community and the individuals involved. The novel is significant not only for its historical subject matter but also for its place in American literary history. Neal was one of the first American authors to gain recognition for using a distinctly American voice and setting, contributing to the early development of American literature. "Rachel Dyer" remains an important work for readers interested in American history, literature, and the enduring themes of justice and human rights. Its exploration of the Salem witch trials provides a poignant reminder of the consequences of fear and intolerance in society.

Gothic: Origins and Innovations brings together nineteen papers from an international group of scholars currently researching in the field of the Gothic which take a fresh, contemporary look at the tradition from its eighteenth-century inception to the twentieth century. Topics and authors include the current usage and definition of the term 'Gothic'; the eighteenth-century rise of the genre; the Sublime; Victorian sensation fiction, and authors such as Coleridge, Mary Shelly, Maturin, LeFanu, Washington Irving, Robert Louis Stevenson, Bram Stoker, John Neale, Jack London, Herman Melville, Dickens, Henry James and the movie version of his Turn of the Screw, The Innocents. This wide-ranging set of discussions brings to the subject a new set of perspectives, revising standard accounts of the origins of the genre and extending the historical and cultural contexts into which traditional literary history has tended to confine the subject. Framed by a lively and challenging introduction, the collection brings to bear a full range of contemporary critical instruments, approaches, and interdisciplinary languages, ranging from the new vocabularies of the socio-cultural to the latest debates in the psychoanalytic field. It provides a stimulating introduction to recent thinking about the Gothic.
