Nicholas Robinson, A New System of the Spleen, Vapours, and Hypochondriack Melancholy (London, 1729) Treatises on hypochondriasis-the seventeenth-century medical term for a wide range of nervous diseases-were old when "Sir" John Hill, the eccentric English scientist, physician, apothecary, and hack writer, published his Hypochondriasis in 1766. For at least a century and a half medical writers as well as lay authors had been writing literature of all types (treatises, pamphlets, poems, sermons, epigrams) on this most fashionable of English maladies under the variant names of "melancholy," "the spleen," "black melancholy," "hysteria," "nervous debility," "the hyp." Despite the plethora of materia scripta on the subject it makes sense to reprint Hill's Hypochondriasis, because it is indeed a "practical treatise" and because it offers the modern student of neoclassical literature a clear summary of the best thoughts that had been put forth on the subject, as well as an explanation of the causes, symptoms, and cures of this commonplace malady. No reader of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century English literature needs to be reminded of the interest of writers of the period in the condition-"disease" is too confining a term-hypochondriasis. Their concern is apparent in both the poetry and prose of two centuries.

Who was between the cherubim outside the Garden of Eden? Did Job's wife really ask him to curse God? Who was Ruth's nearest kinsman? Can I really dump coals of fire on the heads of my enemies? Did Adam and Eve really become as gods by eating of the fruit?So often, we read over verses without stopping to think and at other times, verses or phrases seem to reach out and grab us. This book presents some of the special spots in Scripture that have latched themselves to the author.Uncommon Views of Common Verses offers fifty-two short studies from a Scriptural but uncommon view. All Scripture portions are handled with careful Scriptural exegesis, from a literal perspective, but offering a different look than is common.

God has always offered to the world His witnesses. He does not allow anyone to leave this world without due warning of the consequences of rejecting His offer of salvation. To the heathen, there has always been a definitive declaration of God's glory in the heavens and also miraculous testimony to the preaching of His gospel to true seekers. (Acts 8.26)During the most trying times the world will ever see, God sends His witnesses. John records that there will be 144,000 special, sealed witnesses (preachers of the gospel) who will go into all the world with Pentecostal power-preaching to all the ends of the world. Meanwhile, in Jerusalem, two witnesses stand in the city for three and one half years preaching the truth to an unbelieving world.Who are these witnesses? What is their message? What makes them special? Take a look inside-you may be surprised.

This is volume four of a five volume set offering devotions from selected verses from the Psalms. Volume four includes devotional material from Psalm 91 through Psalm 120.These psalms offer praise, prayer, and adulation for personal and corporate worship. In these, the reader will find help for everyday trials and suggestions for walking on the upward path.

Most devotional books offer a verse of Scripture with a cute story or quick anecdote. While these writings give a quick uplift and encouraging words, they fall short of challenging the reader to dig deeper.The author of "Encounters in the Word" approaches the concept of Bible devotions as an opportunity to get into the Word and enrich the reader's understanding of short passages. While the concepts are not unique, often the author uses unique approaches to the biblical concepts. Reaching beyond commonly held opinion and religious diatribe, these devotionals offer in-depth analyses along with poignant applications which apply to everyday Christian living.Having been written and collected over a period of nearly five years, these short studies cover a variety of subjects. It is the author's desire that they will be a blessing to the reader.
