Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under siege in imperial China Mary Gamewell was a missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church in China. This riveting account of a good woman continuing her vocational work despite every adversity will absorb those interested Women missionaries, the China of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the turbulent time of the Boxers. Gamewell was already an 'old China' hand by 1900. She had experienced the Chungking Riot of 1886 and knew well the dangers which could beset Europeans in her position. Her view of the siege of Peking itself will interest any student of the subject. Available in soft cover or hard back with dust jacket.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Under Marching Orders: A Story of Mary Porter Gamewell This morning there was a patriotic service in the town where I live, at which hundreds of children sang and waved their ags. AS they were Singing a ag song, I wished that they would cheer the old dragon ag of China, and more than all the ags of all the nations, would I have them cheer the Church ag, which bears the Sign of the cross. If, as a good citizen, you would follow your country's ag to the ends of the earth, if honor called you, would you not just as promptly follow the Christian ag anywhere it might lead? If you follow a ag, you put yourself under marching orders, and where the commander says go, the soldier directs his steps.

Book excerpt: From the Founding Fathers through the present, Christianity has exercised powerful influence in the United States—from its role in shaping politics and social institutions to its hand in inspiring art and culture. The Encyclopedia of Christianity in the United States outlines the myriad roles Christianity has played and continues to play. This masterful five-volume reference work includes biographies of major figures in the Christian church in the United States, influential religious documents and Supreme Court decisions, and information on theology and theologians, denominations, faith-based organizations, immigration, art—from decorative arts and film to music and literature—evangelism and crusades, the significant role of women, racial issues, civil religion, and more. The first volume opens with introductory essays that provide snapshots of Christianity in the U.S. from pre-colonial times to the present, as well as a statistical profile and a timeline of key dates and events. Entries are organized from A to Z. The final volume closes with essays exploring impressions of Christianity in the United States from other faiths and other parts of the world, as well as a select yet comprehensive bibliography. Appendices help readers locate entries by thematic section and author, and a comprehensive index further aids navigation.
