Twice since the Norman Conquest has the little country of England been the center of an empire: once when Henry II of England was at the same time master of half France; and now again when the Union Jack or the red ensign flies over cities and continents of which Henry Plantagenet never dreamed. Yet to use the same word to describe both of these empires seems unfortunate. Indeed, the use of the word "empire" is questionable in either case, – only to be sanctioned because we seem to have no...

This momentous work offers a groundbreaking history of the early civil rights movement in the South with new material that situates the book in the context of subsequent movement literature.

Before the railroads carved through the Iowa prairie, before the abolitionist fires burned brightest across a divided nation, one man stood at the crossroads of American destiny and refused to look away. Josiah Bushnell Grinnell was not merely a witness to the turbulent birth pangs of modern America, he was one of its most passionate architects. Preacher, politician, pioneer, and tireless crusader for human freedom, Grinnell carved his name into the soul of the American Midwest with nothin...

Pathbreaking essays on the power of local activism on the broader Civil Rights movementOver the last several years, the traditional narrative of the civil rights movement as largely a southern phenomenon, organized primarily by male leaders, that roughly began with the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and ended with the Voting Rights Act of 1965, has been complicated by studies that root the movement in smaller communities across the country. These local movements had va...

The church is in the world to continue Jesus' ministry. But it has forgotten an important part--dealing with enemy spirits. And Satan runs freely in our world with few Christian leaders knowing how to stop him. Dealing With Demons presents Kraft's way of dealing with Satan's army, whose aim is to destroy God's forces. Are demons for real?, he asks. "Yes," he answers, "and they are very active." With personal experience setting free hundreds of people from hundreds of demons who left withou...
