Product Description
Old Episcopal Burying Ground (Louisville, Kentucky)- Frances Keller Swinford Barr. This book has been written out of an appreciation of history and a wish to preserve for posterity the names of those persons who are, or at one time were, buried in the Old Episcopal Burying Ground in Lexington, Kentucky. Over the years, some 600 burials took place and many of the stones are still there. This is the oldest cemetery still extant in Lexington, and has long been known as Lexington’s Westminster Abbey because of the prominence of those buried there. Genealogists and historians alike will want to add this well-written book to their library.

A brief history of the cemetery, complete with some notable epitaphs, precedes the burial records which are arranged alphabetically by surname, and include birth and death dates, burial notes, comments and source. An essay discussing the cottage in the Old Episcopal Burial Ground and an essay on a collection of early Lexington funeral invitations by Dr. James D. Birchfield follow the records. Four engaging vignettes of Lexington life in the 1830s by Carole Thomas Pettit are based on real people, although their thoughts and motives are conjecture. These fascinating vignettes take the reader to 1833 to witness the cholera epidemic through the eyes of a bricklayer; on a railway journey with a discussion of its impact on the community; to social gatherings at Fowler’s Gardens; and the final vignette offers a glimpse of the life of artist, John Grimes. Several illustrations and a fullname index augment this work. 2002, 120 pp., illus., fullname index, paper. ... Read more

Good Book for all preachers new or experienced
Transforming Preaching is a fresh look into the art of preaching.Hooke explains why preaching is more difficult than ever today, and provides essential models and spiritual practices in order to transform both the creators of preaching and its listeners as both participate in sermons.

A powerful aspect of the book is how she shares insights from numerous preachers of how they work the craft of preaching.This helped make the book more personal and practical by seeing how others approach the sermon.Hooke alsodiscusses the use of body in preaching.She talks about Linklater voice exercises, yoga poses and improvisation, however I wish that she gave more detail about those approaches.

Overall, the book was very informative and will be of great use to any preacher young or old.

Product Description
The first book to study the Episcopal high church movement within the context of nineteenth-century American culture. Mullin traces the history of the Episcopal Church from its rise in the early nineteenth century, when it was seen as a refuge from the "excesses" of evangelical Protestantism, to 1870, when the antebellum high church synthesis had largely collapsed. His book not only sheds light on the reasons for the flourishing of this alternative social and intellectual vision but also helps to account for the general crisis confronting religion in America at the turn of the century. ...
