The focus in these studies will center on the basic principles underlying the specific accounts rather than on the minute details of the event. That is, we will be less interested in the details of the incident in its first century setting than in the relationships between people which are timeless and hence directly relevant. The biblical incidents selected are accepted pretty much at face value, even though modern scholarship makes it clear that the records have suffered in transmission and that authenticity is sometime questionable. Any study of interpersonal relationships necessarily implies both a technique of counseling and a doctrine of man. This study will draw heavily on the approach in psychotherapy evolved by psychiatrist Viktor E. Frankl, M.D., in Vienna, under the name "logotherapy," the "therapy of meaning." Tested in the rigors of concentration camp living, logotherapy offers a philosophy of life and method of counseling which is more consistent with a basically Christian view of life than any other existing system in the current therapeutic world. Although the main purpose of this book is to come to a better understanding of how Jesus characteristically worked with people, the work of Frankl has been introduced in a logical order which sets forth the outline of his therapeutic approach. Thus while each chapter stands as a unit in itself and demonstrates a specific feature of the ministry of Jesus, the unfolding of Frankl's logotherapy provides a unifying strand.

Life Aboard a British Privateer: The First Hand Account of a Famous Privateer Captain at War with the Spanish During the Reign of Queen Anne 1707-1711

Woodes Rogers-the man who rescued 'Robinson Crusoe'In the history of the British at sea, the names of many of its greatest men have long been familiar to almost everyone. For many, however, the name Woodes Rogers may not be foremost among them. Yet in the time of Queen Anne this master mariner, sailing from Bristol, circumnavigated the globe in a momentous two and a half year odyssey with his two ships-Duke and Duchess. He was an English privateer of some repute and was successful against the Spanish, taking several prizes in the Pacific on his epic voyage. It was he who rescued the 'real' marooned hero of Daniel Defoe's adventure Robinson Crusoe-Alexander Selkirk-from Juan Fernandez Island and promptly made him captain of one of his own prize ships the Increase. This astonishing man went on to be the first Royal Governor of the Bahamas, held the post twice, beat off Spanish attempts to gain influence in the region and substantially cleared the Caribbean seas of pirates. This fascinating book combines the research of historian Robert Leslie with Woodes Rogers own journals to make a vital account of an extraordinary mariner from the great age of sail. Through its pages the reader may trace Rogers' career and voyages of the early eighteenth century which inevitably are full of incident and interest. Available in softcover and hardcover with dust jacket.

“Tested in the rigors of concentration camp living, logotherapy offers a philosophy of life and a method of counseling which is more consistent with a basically Christian view of life than any other existing system in the current therapeutic world.” 
Beginning with this thesis, Dr. Leslie compares the modern counseling methods of Viktor Frankl, famed Viennese psychiatrist, with Jesus’ own approach to counseling. 
The author presents vivid images of the people with whom Jesus dealt and illustrates how their situations and solutions are relevant today. He concerns himself with three basic, underlying principles: the pull of immediate pleasures, ambition for status and prestige, and the evasion of responsibility. Dr. Leslie incorporates many examples from his vast experiences and those of Frank., drawing especially from the years Frankl spent in concentration camps. Depth psychology, with its emphasis on determining past causal factors, is contrasted with “logotherapy.” The latter proclaims the ‘defiant power of the human spirit” to rise above restraints of the past. 
This is indeed a book that should cause every reader to look at his own life with questioning comparisons and reappraisals.

WOODES ROGERS commanded the most successful privateering expedition of the early eighteenth century. With his men and ships he sacked the rich town of Guiaquil and took one of the fabulously wealthy Manila Galleons: Nostra Seniora del Incarnation Desengano. During one of the many vicious confrontations with the Spanish, Rogers took a bullet in face, causing the top half of his jaw to fall to the deck, but this didn’t hinder him from remaining in command and writing out his further orders on paper. He used many unique strategies to maintain order over his small fleet (the Duke, the Dutchess, the Marquiss, and the Batchelor) manned by wretched, disorderly sailors. This version of his journal was edited by Robert C. Leslie, giving the book a fast pace and adventurous flavor. 
 INCLUDES: 50+ pages of maps and classic privateering images.
