Summary

The king commissions Nehemiah to return to Jerusalem and oversee the rebuilding of the walls – to begin to mend what is broken. But there are those that hear the prosperity of the city is being pursued and are greatly displeased. Nehemiah makes known the gracious provision of the Lord and others are strengthened to join the good work – but in doing so, they are mocked and despised. Nehemiah replies, “The God of heaven is the one who grants us success. We, his servants, will start building, but you have no share, right, or historic claim in Jerusalem.”We have been commissioned by God, the King, to push back against the effects of the fall. This was modelled for us in the ministry of Jesus – to mend what has been broken, to begin to restore what has been lost. As we labour for the prosperity of the Kingdom, there will be many who are greatly displeased – mocking and even despising. Be about the work anyway and start building – they have no share, right, or claim on the Kingdom.

Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, A by Mark Twain (1835 - 1910) LibriVox Come and hear the strange tale of The Boss Hank Morgan, a modern day (at the time of publication) Connecticut Yankee who inexplicably finds himself transported to the court of the legendary King Arthur (as the title of the book implies). Hank, or simply, The Boss, as he comes to be most frequently known, quickly uses his modern day knowledge and education to pass himself off as a great magician, to get himself out of all sorts of surprising, (and frequently amusing) situations, as well as to advance the technological and cultural status of the nation in which he finds himself.In the rather un-subtle sub-text of the story, Twain uses The Boss to express a surprisingly pragmatic and frequently contradictory philosophy. The Boss explores the relative merits of Democracy, and Monarchy, he expresses his views on the “Nature v. Nurture” debate, he frequently speaks forcefully against an established Church, but just as strongly advocates for religion and a variety of churches (jus Wizard, The by H. Rider Haggard (1856 - 1925) LibriVox Described by the author, best known for his King Solomon's Mines, as "a tale of victorious faith," this story begins on a Sunday afternoon in an English church. Most of the book, though, is set in Africa, and the adventure story is as engaging as any of Haggard's African tales. What makes this one different is the religious question: What has happened to miracles in the church?
