Glencoe Literature: The Reader

Jeffrey D. Wilhelm

This book aims to be a comprehensive and demanding critique of 18th-century English and French fiction. Rereading works from this period, William Ray offers a systematic exploration of how individual instances of the literary ordering of experience relate to larger public and political orders of authority. He argues that the novel's rise coincided with a growing conviction, both reflected and fostered in the period, that selfhood, social identity, public authority and even historical truth all hinge on narrative representation. From the early novels of individualism which emphasize the relating of personal experience as a means of altering social hierarchies and securing priviledges for the exceptional individual to the later "metanovels", whose complex dialectical models of history both invite and exclude the manipulation of the shared record, this book traces not only the relationship of individual story to collective history, but also fiction's evolving grasp of its own cultural authority.

Answered Prayer: The Jesus Plan is a study of the world's most famous prayer, the Lord's Prayer, based on the premise that Jesus would not have told us to pray a prayer that didn't work, but that each line of the prayer is meant to bring about answered prayer and real communication with God. Jim Daly, President - Focus on the Family: "Bill Ray has dissected this famous prayer in a way that shows us what it looks like to approach God with adoration, purpose and genuine faith." This inspiring resource includes: * Real-life examples of answered prayer that illustrate the practical truths found in Jesus' words. * "Digging Deeper" questions (with space for your answers) to help you consider how these truths change your life. * A Prayer Guide to "jump-start" your prayer life.
