Book excerpt: "Eleanor "Nell" Gwyn (or Gwynn or Gwynne) (2 February 1650? 14 November 1687) was a long-time mistress of King Charles II of England. Called "pretty, witty Nell" by Samuel Pepys, she has been regarded as a living embodiment of the spirit of Restoration England and has come to be considered a folk heroine, with a story echoing the rags-to-royalty tale of Cinderella. Elizabeth Howe, in The First English Actresses, says she was "the most famous Restoration actress of all time, possessed of an extraordinary comic talent.""--Wikipedia

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: '"The story of Nell Gwyn ..." originally appeared in serial form in Gentleman's Magazine. "It must be read (says the author) as a serious truth, not as fiction-as a biography, not as a romance. It has no other foundation than truth, and will be heard of hereafter only as it adheres to history." That it will be heard of hereafter there seems little reason to doubt. A dish of this nature cooked in this fashion is too rare not to be well-relished. The life of a royal courtesan from the graphic pen of an accomplished antiquarian, combining the seductions of low comedy with the attractive graces of light literature, need not despair of a market. It would seem, indeed, that "distance ends enchantment to the view;" for though, Nell was but a strumpet, on these pages she is nothing short of a goddess, fascinating you with her wit and beauty as she did her paramours; coaxing you with her liberality as she did "the London Apprentices;" and even gulling you with her orthodox cant as she did the grim Puritans who patronised her as the "Protestant Mistress!" But, for all that, you cannot find in your heart to deal harshly with the "pretty witty Nell." You laugh at her jokes, and condole with her in her sorrows; for she was not a stranger to grief, nor, finally, it is said, to "repentance." But be that as it may, you cannot but admit that she had many good qualities; and you remember that, in addition to other praiseworthy public actions, she was the virtual founder of Chelsea Hospital-a deed of charity sufficient to cover all her sins, if such you have the courage to call them, for, 'ere you get through the story, you are convinced, she is better than could have been expected under the circumstances which, from first to last, victimized her. And as for the "Merry Monarch," he is a wise and witty, free and easy soul-not a bad man after all! Such is the moral atmosphere which encircles the "Story;" and, if ever its moral influence cost the author much consideration, his misgivings were hushed by the plausible excuse that "what so good a man as Archbishop Tenison (who preached Nell's funeral sermon) did not think an unfit subject for a funeral sermon, need not be thought an unfit subject for a book." Review from "The Westminster Review," Volume 58.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 New York Times bestseller with more than 11 million copies sold! When 4-year-old Colton Burpo emerges from life-saving surgery with remarkable stories of his visit to heaven, his family doesn’t know what to believe. Heaven is For Real details what Colton saw and his family’s journey towards accepting their young son had visited the afterlife. “Do you remember the hospital, Colton?” Sonja said. “Yes, mommy, I remember,” he said. “That’s where the angels sang to me.” Colton told his parents he left his body during an emergency surgery–and proved that claim by describing exactly what his parents were doing in another part of the hospital during his operation. He talked of visiting heaven and described events that happened before he was born and how he spoke with family members he’d never met. Colton also astonished his parents with descriptions and obscure details about heaven that matched the Bible exactly, even though he had not yet learned to read. With disarming innocence and the plainspoken boldness of a child, Colton recounts his visit to heaven, describing: Meeting long-departed family members Jesus, the angels, how “really, really big” God is, and how much God loves us How Jesus called Todd, Colton’s father, to be a pastor The Battle of Armageddon Retold by his father, but using Colton’s uniquely simple words, Heaven Is for Real offers a glimpse of the world that awaits us, where as Colton says, “Nobody is old and nobody wears glasses.” Heaven Is for Real will forever change the way you think of eternity, offering the chance to see, and believe, like a child. Praise for Heaven is for Real: “A beautifully written glimpse into heaven that will encourage those who doubt and thrill those who believe.” —Ron Hall, coauthor of Same Kind of Different as Me
