Book Description
Excerpt from The Salem Pilgrim: His Book If the pilgrim to Salem wishes to stand at the focus and centre of Puritan New England, on the spot where was planted one of the twin shoots of American Democracy, and from which there went forth not a few of the great forces that have shaped American history, let him go to Town House Square. If there is sacred soil in America, it is here. To be sure, one must have the historic imagination, or he will see nothing in the busy, bustling modern square to remind him of antiquity. But if he has power to realize the past let him stand here a moment and picture the scene as it was in the years immediately following the arrival of Endicott and the Puritans in 1628. The modern blocks and stone pavements vanish. The clang of electric cars dies away. The hurrying throngs of moderns disappear. He stands on virgin soil, in the midst of a forest clearing, on a pleasant elevation between two winding crystal streams, with fresh fountains near at hand and the cry of bird and animal alone breaking the silence of the encompassing wilderness. Yet signs of human occupancy are not wanting; for this spot is the chosen sight for the upspringing of a new and vast civilization. Already a few rude buildings have been erected, beginning with the houses of Roger Conant and his little fishing colony who had removed here from the abandoned settlement on Cape Ann in 1626. On what is now the southeast corner of the Square once stood the rudely-constructed Meeting-house, built in 1634 and enlarged in 1639, in which Samuel Skelton, Roger Williams and Hugh Peter preached the sermons that rekindled the faith of the struggling colonists and kept them true to their great and toilsome enterprise.

Mayflower Bastard
Author: David LindsayPublisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 1429976993
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
David Lindsay, researching old records to learn details of the life of his ancestor, Richard More, soon found himself in the position of the Sorcerer's Apprentice-wherever he looked for one item, ten more appeared. What he found illuminated not only More's own life but painted a clear and satisfying picture of the way the First Comers, Saints and Strangers alike, set off for the new land, suffered the voyage on the Mayflower, and put down their roots to thrive on our continent's northeastern shore. From the story, Richard emerges as a man of questionable morals, much enterprise, and a good deal of old-fashioned pluck, a combination that could get him into trouble-and often did. He lived to father several children, to see, near the end of his life, a friend executed as a witch in Salem, and to be read out of the church for unseemly behavior. Mayflower Bastard lets readers see history in a new light by turning an important episode into a personal experience.
The Postmodern Pilgrim's Progress
Author: Kyle MannPublisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1684513162
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
From the editor-in-chief and managing editor of the Babylon Bee! A millenial seeker travels through a twenty-first century take on The Pilgrims's Progress with allegorical versions of all our modern vices tempting him along the way—as well as a few timeless personified virtues that just might see him through. Biting satire and uncommon wisdom from the creators of the internet's most influential comedy site, and an author of national bestsellerThe Babylon Bee Guide to Wokeness! Ryan Fleming is a young agnostic reeling from his brother’s death. Though he is deeply angry with God, he makes good on a promise he made to his brother in the final moments of his life: to visit a church at least once. But shortly after his arrival, the slick megachurch’s shoddily installed video projector falls on his head—sending Ryan through a wormhole into another world. After a narrow escape from the City of Destruction, where the comfortably numb townspeople are oblivious to the fire and brimstone falling like bombs in their midst and destroying their homes, Ryan finds himself on a quest: To make it back to his own universe, he must partner with a woman named Faith to awaken a long-sleeping King—the World-Maker who can make all things new. Replete with characters ripped straight from the twenty-first century American church—including Radical, Mr. Satan, the Smiling Preacher, and others—this sometimes-humorous, always-insightful trek parallels Christian’s fictional journey in Pilgrim’s Progress. Prepare to laugh, cry, cringe, feel convicted, and ultimately be changed by the time the story ends. The Postmodern Pilgrim’s Progress is brought to you by Kyle Mann and Joel Berry, the two comedic minds behind The Babylon Bee—which, with 250,000 newsletter subscribers and more than fifteen million page views per month, is the most popular satirical news site on the planet.
