Sinopsis

Richard Baxter's "A Christian Directory: Christian Ethics" is a seminal work that explores the intricate relationship between theological principles and moral imperatives within the Christian faith. Written in a clear, didactic style, Baxter organizes the text into accessible sections that guide readers through ethical dilemmas and practical living. Drawing upon Scripture and Puritan theology, the book serves as both a manual for ethical conduct and a spiritual guide, addressing a range of topics from personal piety to societal responsibilities within a Christian framework. Baxter, a prominent 17th-century Puritan minister, was deeply influenced by the turbulent socio-political milieu of his time, including the English Civil War. His pastoral experiences in Bridgnorth and later in Kidderminster, where he sought to address the spiritual needs of his congregation, shaped his understanding of Christian ethics. Baxter's commitment to spiritual revival and personal holiness is evident throughout the text, reflecting his desire to equip believers in navigating the complexities of moral life. For those seeking profound insights into living a Christian life grounded in ethical principles, Baxter's "A Christian Directory: Christian Ethics" is an invaluable resource. It is highly recommended for scholars, practitioners, and anyone interested in deepening their understanding of Christian ethics in both historical and contemporary contexts.

    From a New York Times–bestselling author: Three epic historical novels that bring to life the spirit of the Jewish immigrant experience in America.  New York Times–bestselling author Cynthia Freeman is beloved for her multigenerational sagas of Jewish immigrant families in America, including her sensational debut, A World Full of Strangers, which sold more than a million copies. The three novels collected here center on ordinary, heroic women who journey across the ocean in search of opportunity, finding both community and adversity, family togetherness and private grief, tragedy and triumph.  A World Full of Strangers: In 1932, Polish immigrant Katie Kovitz is embraced by the Jewish community of the Lower East Side. But after marrying a man who rejects his heritage, she struggles to reclaim her lost identity in this sensational debut novel.  Portraits: In this New York Times bestseller, Esther Sandsonitsky leaves her abusive husband and journeys to the United States in order to capture a piece of the American dream for her children—including Jacob, the son she was forced to leave behind.  No Time for Tears: “This impassioned novel follows its heroine, Chavala Landau, from turn-of-the-century Russia to Palestine and on to the United States, where she carves out a financial empire in the diamond industry before returning to Jerusalem in 1948” (The New York Times).
