Curated by acclaimed scholar Nicholas Terpstra, Lives Uncovered is a captivating collection of early modern primary sources organized around the human life cycle. The collection begins with a short essay titled "How to Read a Primary Source," which helps readers recognize different kinds of primary sources and introduces the idea of critical reading. A second brief essay, "Life Cycles in the Early Modern Period," details the organization of the volume and explains each stage in the life cycle within its historical context. Over 150 readings examine men and women from different social classes and different religious and racial groups, addressing topics that include sex and sexuality, food and drink, poverty, crime and punishment, religious tension and coexistence, and migration and emigration. Using a creative range of sources such as letters, wills, laws, diaries, fiction, and poems, Terpstra gives readers a comprehensive picture of everyday life in early modern Europe and in other parts of the globe that Europeans were beginning to settle and colonize. Each of the life-cycle chapters includes a combination of longer readings, shorter readings, and images. Every reading begins with a short introduction that sets the context of the primary source, while review questions complement the main themes of the readings. Over 30 illustrations serve as non-textual primary sources. An index is also provided.

'Mid-September 2008, I was on the phone with Curtis. I was sitting in a rocking chair, which was an inherited gift from my mother-in-law, Linda. It had been Curtis's great-grandfather's chair. As I sat talking to Curtis, all of a sudden this heart-wrenching moan came from the depths of my being. It felt like it traveled up the middle of me, following my spine like a country road along a riverbed. I bent very low as the cry finished its travel through my body. There was searing pain with the deep cry and a burning heat that remained for several minutes. Curtis and I sat there in stunned silence. What on earth had just happened to me?' Cara Ann Coffey's story is one rarely told yet one that needs to be heard. Cara spent much of her life struggling within the Body of Christ, trying to determine God's true will. With so many different interpretations swirling around that were sometimes confusing, it was difficult for Cara to find the right path. But what made life even more difficult for a twelve-year span was something even harder to battle. Cara was almost driven insane in 2008. Why? Demonic interference. Many things had to change to remove the oppression, but this journey would lead Cara to many of the answers she had sought throughout the years. In Uncovered No More, readers will witness an intense battle that was indeed won with the help of Christ. Take the journey with her.

The majority of us would not necessarily define ourselves as artists. We're parents, students, businesspeople, friends. We're working hard, trying to make ends meet, and often longing for a little more--more time, more love, more security, more of a sense that there is more out there. The truth? We need not look around so much. God is within us and he wants to shine through us in a million little ways. A Million Little Ways uncovers the creative, personal imprint of God on every individual. It invites the discouraged parent, the bored Christian, the exhausted executive to look at their lives differently by approaching their critics, their jobs, and the kids around their table the same way an artist approaches the canvas--with wonder, bravery, and hope. In her gentle, compelling style, Emily Freeman encourages readers to turn down the volume on their inner critic and move into the world with the courage to be who they most deeply are. She invites regular people to see the artistic potential in words, gestures, attitudes, and relationships. Readers will discover the art in a quiet word, a hot dinner, a made bed, a grace-filled glance, and a million other ways of showing God to the world through the simple human acts of listening, waiting, creating, and showing up.
