Book Description
B. T. Roberts was born in a small farming community in western New York, on July 25, 1823. By the time of his death in 1893, he had made a profound impact on church and society. Roberts's writing, preaching, and ministry focused on true conversion, the disciplines of the Christian life, and holiness. Rejecting "prosperity theology," he argued for simplicity, generosity, and mission. A prophet of dissent, he vigorously promoted abolition, prohibition, economic justice, and the equality of women. Along the way, he founded Free Methodism and an educational institution that is thriving 150 years later. Roberts exhibited rare and impeccably balanced traits. He displayed the courage and boldness to dissent, as well as the political savvy and communication skills to bring people together. He was a visionary who displayed patience, tact, and pragmatism. His idealism did not obliterate his attention to details and crucial distinctions. He made people feel loved, respected, and challenged; he was authentic. In his dealings in church and world, we see creativity and flexibility grounded in integrity. Earnest settles in to the particularities of this life well lived, showing the human spirit, divine power, and practicalities of progress.

Book Description
Excerpt from Mariet Hardy Freeland: A Faithful Witness If one were to suggest a title for the book before us other than the one it bears, it might well be "The Story of the Soul of a Woman." It has been truthfully said, "No life can be pure in its purpose and strong in its strife, and all life not be purer and stronger thereby." It is to be hoped that this biography of one of the mothers of Free Methodism will be a forerunner of others, and that they may be as great a benediction to the church, and especially to our young people, as have the thrilling stories of the lives of the mothers of early Methodism. The same spirit of unworldliness, of devotion to high ideals of holy living, of heroic sacrifice for the cause of truth that characterized them, speaks eloquently in the lives of the group of noble women who were identified with early Free Methodism. That we may help to perpetuate this spirit, and thus in some small measure repay the debt of love we owe to them for the religious liberty that is ours, the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, represented by their executive committee, at their last annual session, voted cordially and unanimously to publish this biography. The manuscript is furnished free of charge, and the proceeds from the sale of the book are to go into the treasury of the society.

Book Description
In Silenced: The Forgotten Story of Progressive Era Free Methodist Women, Christy Mesaros-Winckles delves into the gender debates within the Free Methodist Church of North America during the Progressive Era (1890-1920). This interdisciplinary work draws on narrative research and gender studies to reconstruct the lives of forgotten women who served as Free Methodist evangelists and deacons, examining their writings and speeches to illustrate how they promoted and defended their ministries. Mesaros-Winckles argues that the history of Free Methodist women is a microcosm of the struggle for recognition and acceptance faced by women across numerous evangelical traditions, especially amidst rising fundamentalism at the turn of the twentieth century. This book provides an important contribution to the fields of American history, theology, media studies, and gender studies, and will also be of interest to rhetorical history and communication theory scholars.

Book Description
General George Crook planned and organized the principal Apache campaign in Arizona, and General Nelson Miles took credit for its successful conclusion on the 1800s, but the men who really won it were rugged frontiersmen such as Al Sieber, the renowned Chief of Scouts. Crook relied on Sieber to lead Apache scouts against renegade Apaches, who were adept at hiding and raiding from within their native terrain. In this carefully researched biography, Dan L. Thrapp gives extensive evidence for Sieber’s expertise, noting that the expeditions he accompanied were highly successful whereas those from which he was absent met with few triumphs. Perhaps the greatest tribute to his abilities was paid by a San Carlos Apache who, no matter how miserable life might become, because, he said, Sieber would find him even if he left no tracks.
