In The Divine Trinunity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Francis Cheynell draws out the doctrine of the Trinity (or as he calls it, "Trinunity") and its major implications. He reasons from Scripture to prove that the true God, Jehovah, is Triune rather than Unitarian, that all three persons of the Godhead are one God, and are three rather than one or four persons, that Jesus Christ is eternally generated by the Father, and that the Holy Spirit is breathed out eternally by the Father and the Son. Cheynell draws from across church history, citing the likes of Augustine, Athanasius, Basil, Gregory of Nyssa, and others, as well as more recent Reformation-era authors such as John Calvin, Theodore Beza, John Jewel, and James Ussher. Given the proliferation of anti-Trinitarian heresies in our day, this work is as relevant as ever.

The Arthurian CycleMerlin | Lancelot | TristramEdwin Arlington RobinsonDuring the era of the First World War, and in the decade thereafter, the American poet Edwin Arlington Robinson composed a cycle of epic narrative poems, written in blank verse, that were arguably modern in style but drew upon classic themes in substance. With the unfolding tragedy of a world at war top of mind, Robinson began what would become a trilogy based on the legends of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. Merlin, the first work in Robinson's Arthurian cycle, was published in 1917. Robinson's Merlin is no magician, certainly not as modern audiences have come to know him. Rather, he is a mortal man grappling with human experiences; his love for the lady Vivian and the prospect of a world going mad. Lancelot followed in 1920. At their core, Merlin and Lancelot are both war poems, with the gathering storm of the former foreshadowing the chaos and destruction of the latter, depicted in the tragic outcome of the relationship between Lancelot and Guinevere. An interval of seven years would pass before the publication of Tristram, the third work in Robinson's trilogy. During this interval, Edwin Arlington Robinson would win the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry twice; first for his Collected Poems (published in 1921), and again for The Man Who Died Twice (published in 1924). With Tristram (published in 1927), Edwin Arlington Robinson would at last reap hard-won financial rewards for his work. Tristram also won Robinson his third Pulitzer Prize. Edwin Arlington Robinson's Arthurian cycle reflects the poet's most mature work. With Merlin and Lancelot, Robinson recounts the human cost of war as seen through the eyes of those characters in the Arthurian legends. Robinson's Merlin, Lancelot, Guinevere, and King Arthur, as well as the supporting characters central to their portrayal, are all rendered in flesh and blood, their words and deeds rooted in the vicissitudes of mortal life. Where Merlin and Lancelot are war poems, Tristram is a poem about love. With Tristram, Robinson recounts the love story of Tristram, and his return, and of Isolt; "Isolt of the white hands, in Brittany." Theirs is a love as doomed in life as the inevitability of death.

Among rural folk in Highland Perthshire, where fireside visits were a way of life, suddenly it all changed: no visiting, not even a wee ceilidh by the fire.This book records a 'pandemic project' that was devised so that folk in the glens and villages of Strathearn could still enjoy sharing stories, information, news and laughter without breaking 'lockdown' rules. Through these ordinary conversations we meet some extraordinary people; discover part of Scotland's history; learn about traditions that sustained a way of life, and listen to stories that might otherwise be forgotten."In the heart of Scotland, in the grip of a pandemic, Margaret Bennett created a virtual hearthside to counter isolation and depression.

It is a unique record of rural life, a distillation of shared humanity, and a vivid demonstration of how stories and memories can leap across the generations to connect past and present. If you put Margaret Bennett in solitary confinement, somehow she would still start up a ceilidh!".Donald Smith, Director, Scottish International Storytelling Festival.

This work is a southern memoir. What that means is that this work is, by definition made up almost but not quite entirely of suspiciously unverified events. It features somewhat exaggerated drama and some very questionable characters. (For the record, I have never actually met Elvis.)This memoir is a roux made of equal parts fact and fiction liberally seasoned with healthy measures of exaggeration, fabrication, and a few outright lies. The story is set in Jonesboro Arkansas and the Mid-South during the years following the devastating tornado that sturck Jonesboro in May of 1973. This story takes poetic license to an absurd, almost criminal extreme. In keeping with the greatest of southern traditions, the Author has never been one to let the truth get in the way of a good story.
