Her father had always been strict, but never this way. Her mother never made a move to come to her aid. It was late afternoon and below freezing already. Leisel curled up, whimpering.

Book excerpt: Johnny Standing Elk rolled his eyes and thought, This woman is a walking disaster area. Then he decided that he still had the rest of today and thirteen more to watch out for her. He made himself a heartfelt promise to never make a commitment to look out for someone again, even though this ladys brother, Brett, was a nice guy. Johnny finally had to ask her, What are you afraid of, Wednesday? Can you tell me? I can tell youre a professional woman, likely with a great career. I know it isnt any of my business why you are here or what is going on. But if it is going to affect how you treat me and everyone else, maybe we can talk about it. Okay? I give you my word. Ill keep it in total confidence. Okay? She thought over her situation. She had never been so out of control in her life. More importantly, her quandary was nowhere near remedied. She was rather certain that she could never last until Brett got back without falling apart. She could barely survive a simple day. Maybe it would better for everyone if she just left. But to do that, she would have to confide in Johnny.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1860 and 1885, Swedish-American immigrant worship was influenced by Pietism and the new religious freedom of America. Controversy about the atonement was catalyzed by the ideas and writings of Paul P. Waldenstrom, which contributed to the development of two new Lutheran synods as well as to two new protestant denominations. Swedish Men Arguing about God provides historical review of this dynamic period, a thoughtful drama (set in 19th-century Sweden) about Waldenstrom's doctrine of the atonement, along with opinion about the status of Pietism in contemporary America.

Download or read book Called to the Prairie written by Richard P. Jahn, Jr. and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 1915, a small congregation in Schafter, North Dakota, requested that a preacher be sent to McKenzie County. For one year, he would be expected to travel between five congregations spread across the eastern half of the county, preaching the gospel and meeting the spiritual needs of the people. Richard C. Jahn, a young Lutheran seminary student from St. Louis, Missouri, volunteered. He arrived in Schafter a few weeks later, just as snow blanketed the ground, preventing parishioners from attending his first church service in Table Butte. The blizzard was merely a glimpse of the many hardships Richard would endure as he crisscrossed back and forth between Schafer, Watford City, Catlin, Table Butte, and Reservation Corner, while attending to his own daily, often backbreaking chores. Despite his youth, Richard was a literary sort who kept diaries of his adventures in North Dakota. He died in 1977, but it wasn't until 2002 that his grandson, Richard P. Jahn, Jr., discovered the first one in an old shoebox and began piecing together the story. Richard, his grandson soon realized, was like any other young bachelor of the times -- somewhat naive, a little bit rowdy, doing the best he could to fulfill his duties despite the challenges of bitterly cold temperatures, floodwaters, ornery horses, apathetic parishioners, and nagging loneliness. The rugged landscape fascinated him almost as much as the characters who homesteaded and ranched there. The journal describes his encounters with them in candid detail. They reveal a young minister making the most of a tough situation with optimism, fortitude, and often humor.
Download or read book Peter Cartwright Legendary Frontier Preacher written by Robert Bray and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Believing deeply that the gospel touched every aspect of a person's life, Peter Cartwright was a man who held fast to his principles, resulting in a life of itinerant preaching and thirty years of political quarrels with Abraham Lincoln. Peter Cartwright, Legendary Frontier Preacher is the first full-length biography of this most famous of the early nineteenth-century Methodist circuit-riding preachers. Robert Bray tells the full story of the long relationship between Cartwright and Lincoln, including their political campaigns against each other, their social antagonisms, and their radical disagreements on the Christian religion, as well as their shared views on slavery and the central fact of their being "self-made." In addition, the biography examines in close detail Cartwright's instrumental role in Methodism's bitter "divorce" of 1844, in which the southern conferences seceded in a remarkable prefigurement of the United States a decade later. Finally, Peter Cartwright attempts to place the man in his appropriate national context: as a potent "man of words" on the frontier, a self-authorizing "legend in his own time," and, surprisingly, an enduring western literary figure.
