By law, a certain number of militiamen had to be recruited from among the able-bodied men in each parish.  Thus, lists of all those eligible had to be drawn up by the parish constable, and where these survive (between 1757 and 1831) they constitute a veritable census.  Along with the "Defense Lists"--the Posse Comitatus of 1798 and the Levee en Masse of 1803-04--and muster rolls of various militia regiments and local forces, these militia lists (in theory) are almost a complete census of the male population.  Militias were generally raised on a county basis, and most of these voluminous records are found today in the various county record offices.  The fourth edition of this important work is a guide to the location of all such records in the county record offices throughout Britain.

<p>Looking beyond His approaching suffering, to glory, Christ 'steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem' (Lk 9.51). Approximately six months later, in fulfilment of Zechariah's prophecy, He rode triumphantly into Jerusalem upon an ass, declaring Himself to be Israel's Messiah. This book seeks to capture, in roughly chronological order, what took place within that six month period.During this stage of the Lord's public ministry large crowds followed Him, many professed to believe on Him and there was a growing expectation that the Kingdom of God was about to be established on earth. At the same time He faced increasingly dangerous opposition. Despite this, the Saviour persisted on His course, retaining a joyful disposition and a vibrant personal prayer life. He taught His disciples how to pray, spoke candidly to friend and foe about His approaching sufferings, warned of eternal punishment, exposed the danger of riches, explained that true greatness is self-sacrificial service for others and assured His disciples that no sacrifice they made for Him would go unrewarded. Every word which He spoke and every step He took in His journey to Jerusalem glorified God and displayed His moral excellence.</p>

<p>Have you ever attempted to harmonise the four Gospels into one linear timeline? If so, you know it's no easy feat. However, this is what Jeremy Gibson has done in Four Writers, One Story, resulting in a rigorous yet comprehensible bird's eye view of the Lord's ministry on Earth. An excellent resource for anyone with the desire to deepen their appreciation of the life of Christ. The four Gospels are harder to study than you might think. They record a unique period in history when the Son of God incarnate walked on planet earth. The church did not yet exist (not till Pentecost), the Law of Moses remained in force, and there was the continued expectation that a messianic King would liberate Israel from her Gentile overlords. The Old Testament told that He was coming. He had now come. This book attempts to harmonize and explain the four Gospels in chronological order. It highlights Christ’s moral perfection, emphasizes His deity, and shows just how amazing His miracles really were. It shows how His public service matched Old Testament predictions and anticipated a glorious future when He will finally reign in Jerusalem. He was crucified. But that was not the end. On the third day, He rose again – and He will return as King of kings and Lord of Lords.</p>
