Despite variations in the arrangement of early lists of the New Testament books, Matthew always comes first. Perhaps this is why one famous scholar called Matthew "the most important book ever written." All of the Gospels share certain traits, and all of them have unique features as well.
The Book of 1 Peter. 1 Peter - That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see [him] not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your. The book can be read for its content, or it can be used side by side with a Bible as a handbook or commentary. It is a valuable tool for the Bible student, an extremely helpful aid for new Christians, and it deserves a place on the bookshelf of every Christian home. The New Testament, as usually received in the Christian Churches, is made up of twenty-seven different books attributed to eight different authors, six of whom are numbered among the Apostles (Matthew, John, Paul, James, Peter, Jude) and two among their immediate disciples (Mark, Luke).
The historicity of the Bible is the question of the Bible's relationship to history – covering not just the Bible's "acceptability as history" but also the ability to understand the literary forms of biblical narrative. One can extend biblical historicity to the evaluation of whether or not the Christian New Testament is an accurate record of the historical Jesus and of the Apostolic Age. Watch our overview video on the New Testament. This video breaks down the literary design of the entire New Testament and how it continues the story of the Hebrew Scriptures. #NewTestament #.

Welcome to Blue Cardinal Press
Featuring the works of J. Harris Anderson: The Paradise Gap Novels, The Foxhunter’s Guide to Life & Love, A Typology of Foxhunters, and more. Full-length novels, short essays, humorous observations, quips, and quotes for your entertainment.
Best-Selling Author Rita Mae Brown says: “Who can resist Mister Anderson or love!”
In his new inspirational novel, J. Harris Anderson provides humorous, lighthearted, and earnestly practical advice to improve your love life… and your love of life. Through a series of stories and lessons, Anderson brings the reader along on a journey of discovery. Whatever you’re chasing—an enriched relationship, overcoming challenges, learning a new skill—this book reveals the principles of the Foxhunter Model, a guide that anyone can use to get more out of life.
“There’s a lot to like in this slim volume. Though just over 200 pages, it’s packed with valuable insights about life and love offered from the unique perspective of foxhunting. Toss in plenty of entertainment value in the telling, with original humor and some interesting tidbits along the way, plus delightful illustrations by Claudia Coleman, and it’s definitely worth the modest price of admission.”
— In & Around Horse Country.
“Even without accepting the proposed parallel between romance and foxhunting, the story can be enjoyed simply as foxhunting fiction with endearing peripheral characters.”
— Foxhunting Life With Horse and Hound.
“…tips on life and love told through a series of anecdotal tales, lessons learned and pithy insights about both.”
— Fauquier Times.
“Ribald tips from one of Anderson’s favorite characters, Thumper Billington, provide commentary on a tale of how to turn expertise in The Chase into a recipe for happiness in Life and Love. Don’t let anything stand in your way — success comes to those with gusto and panache who never stop trying.”
— Karen Myers, author of To Carry the Horn.
Don’t forget the first popular Paradise Gap novel
Life around Paradise Gap, in Virginia’s Crutchfield County, has been cadenced to the comfortable traditions of foxhunting for many generations. And then Ryman McKendrick receives a vision. Inspired by a message from Saint Hubert—or so he believes—Ryman launches The Ancient and Venerable Church of Ars Venatica, aka The Church of Foxhunting. Even the skeptics can’t ignore Ryman’s uncanny new powers. The Venatican ranks swell, hunters sing—literally—the praises of the sporting life, and a current of titillation flows among the participants, from teenagers to octogenarians. The double meaning of “venery” (pursuits both sporting and erotic) blends happily into a single drive for many of Ryman’s ardent followers. But support is far from universal. Is one of Ryman’s detractors committed enough to go to the ultimate extreme?
The Prophet of Paradise takes you inside a rarified world of foxhunting, religion, and sex—a powerful cocktail of passion that can lead to pleasure or pain.

Goddess in the Bedroom:
|Open Your Heart, by Bill Bounard|
Isis (Egyptian) – This famous Goddess has so many different aspects, her most important roles are as Goddess of life and magic. Isis’s name comes from the Egyptian word aset and means “she of throne” in other words the Queen of the Goddesses.
“Isis, the Egyptian goddess of rebirth remains one of the most familiar images of empowered and utter femininity. The goddess Isis was the first daughter of Geb, god of the Earth, and Nut, the goddess of the Overarching Sky. Isis was born on the first day between the first years of creation, and was adored by her human followers. Unlike the other Egyptian goddesses, the goddess Isis spent time among her people, teaching women how to grind corn and make bread, spin flax and weave cloth, and how to tame men enough to live with them (an art form on which many of us would welcome a refresher course!) Isis taught her people the skills of reading and agriculture and was worshipped as the goddess of medicine and wisdom.” source

Art Monthly News
During the month of March, the students focused on the art of Ireland. Kindergarten through Fourth Grade was introduced to the Celtic cross. These stone crosses emerged as early as the 7th and 8th century in Ireland as well as various parts of Europe. These crosses were often carved in stone and heavily decorated with knot or lace-work patterns. The knots have come to be seen as both decorative and symbolic in nature, representing the eternal love of God. After viewing examples of these crosses, the students made drawings of patterns which were added to their own cross.
Grades 5 through 8 were introduced to the Book of Kells. The Book of Kells is an illuminated manuscript created between the 6th and 9th century. It is a collection of the four Gospels produced by hand by a group of monks from the Abbey of Kells. The book is admired for its beautiful calligraphy and its elaborate illustrations of religious imagery. It is also an expression of devotion, as these monks dedicated many years to producing this body of work. After viewing examples from the Book of Kells, the students were given a biblical passage to illustrate. The first letter of the passage was enlarged and decorated with various patterns of knots, vines, and animals. The students then wrote out the rest of the passage to complete their design. They have done a tremendous job in illustrating this work!

Rondo and Epilogue
Instrumentation: Flute, Oboe, Clarinet (Score Sample--PDF)
Program Notes: Rondo and Epilogue was written for and premiered by the Favonian Winds (Mattie Greathouse, flute; Dominique Bellon, oboe; Adria Sutherland, clarinet). The piece is bright and energetic, but lacks the lightness of a typical rondo, opting for a somewhat darker humor instead (which seemed fitting for the tragic-comic state of affairs in our country at present). The open-ended rondo form is followed by a meditative epilogue.


Old survey maps show Georgetown around 1903
The Library of Congress has a fascinating resource called "Researching Historic Washington, DC Buildings," which includes dozens of links to databases and collections with reams of information on old DC buildings.
One collection is a digitized version of Baist's Real Estate Atlas of Surveys for Washington, DC. It's a highly detailed map of every street and building in the city in 1903.
Here are the maps for Georgetown:
Here's southeast Georgetown. Note the wooden bridge for K St. across Rock Creek, the factories and lumber yards on the water, and the fact Virginia Ave. used to go across the waterfront.
Here's southwest Georgetown. What's notable about this map is the streams that ran through Georgetown at this point, as represented by the black lines meandering through the neighborhood.
Here's northeast Georgetown. Notice that Q St. wasn't constructed yet, and Dumbarton House hadn't been moved yet. Plus, there was a giant streetcar facility on P St. (not to mention homes in what is now Rose Park).
Here's central Georgetown. What's notable here is that, as I discovered Monday, the addresses of homes north of Volta were different. And that's because Volta Place was Q St., Q St. was R St., Dent Place west of Wisconsin was S St. (east of Wisconsin it was Irving Place), Reservoir was T St. and R St. was U St. Oh and Wisconsin was called 32nd St. and 32nd St. was called Valley St.
Finally, here's northwest Georgetown. Note that Volta Park used to be the Presbyterian Burial Grounds, and that the weird Tudor style home on 33rd between Volta and Q was the Presbyterian church.

1st Decade (1940-1950)
Roots - The Royal Family
The story is told in the Akona Royal Stool Home of the day Andrew Abeku Evans Quayson Jnr. was born. That 18th day of September in the 1940th year of our Lord, when the seed sown by Andrew Evans Quayson Snr. and nurtured by Lady Sarah Letitia Efua Egyima Quayson (nee Hagan) saw the light of day in Cape Coast.
They say a gentle wind blew through playgrounds and along the beaches, from the North to the South, connecting the East to the West of Cape Coast, as though whispering the birth of Andrew Abeku Evans Quayson Jnr; a great son of the land. Fortelling of great things.
The lineage of the child Andrew Abeku Evans Quayson Jnr. was pure royalty. His father Andrew Evans Quayson Snr. (Old Man Quayson) was from the Akona Royal Stool Family of Takoradi and his paternal grandmother Mena Ekua Bram was the queen mother of Takoradiman. Old Man Quayson was a real City Gentleman with his tailcoats, top hats and Apaapa walkings. He was a real fun man and a great dancer! Abeku’s mother was Sarah Letitia Efua Egyima Hagan, daughter of Joseph Alfonso Hagan (the last of the Hagan)

The Spectrum family enjoys a very large software library of more than 23,000 titles which is still increasing. While most of these are games, the library is very diverse, including programming language implementations, databases (e.g. VU-File), word processors (e.g. Tasword II), spreadsheets (e.g. VU-Calc), drawing and painting tools (e.g. OCP Art Studio), and even 3D-modelling (e.g. VU-3D) and archaeology software amongst many other types.
The hardware limitations of the Spectrum imposed a special level of creativity on video game designers, and so many Spectrum games are very creative and playable even by today’s standards. The early Spectrum models’ great success as a games platform came in spite of its lack of built-in joystick ports, primitive sound generation, and colour support that was optimised for text display.

Week one is always a challenge, the group had a few weeks to begin working before having to give a presentation on our initial ideas in front of the other students and the tutors and for myself week one included gathering as much reference, mainly from the internet and books, and then to get pencil to paper as quickly as possible.
The search for reference material was as much looking into historical documentation from the age as well as visual reference. As I found it is extremely difficult to find any accurate visual reference from the 17th century other than in paintings and old maps. I had to consider the fact that the project is titled 'Off the Map' so I tried to gather as much reference material from the maps I could find as possible. Although the maps gave me great ideas on the actual layouts of the streets, it was hard to gather an idea on what the streets of 17th Century London would actually look like from the ground. Some of the maps I came across did have hand drawn or engraved cityscapes of London on them such as James de la Feuille's map of London c. 1690 and the engraved panorama of London by Visccher 1616. I also gathered as much imagery I could of old 'tudor' style buildings to help aid with the concepting.
In our first weeks meeting we were all full of ideas from the reference collected by each of us. It was great to be able to share each others ideas and talk about the individual pieces of information we had gathered and we began to accumulate all of this giving us a glimpse of the direction in which we thought we might want to take this project. We then discussed where we would take our initial ideas and continue to develop them further into the next week.
Below is one of the first maps I added to my reference, James de la Feuille's map of London c. 1690.
Below is a selection of reference images collected in week one.
Below is some of my initial sketches developed from week one's reference, some I kept quite serious but I also experimented with the 'wonkiness' of the buildings.

Sukadev Goswami is right, Jayadev Goswami is right- Prabhupad Saraswati Thakur
Srila Sukadev Goswami is right, Srila Jayadev Goswami is right
In the book called “Prabhupad Saraswati Thakur” by Mandala Publishing Group wich contains many articles written by Prabhupad, in the page 117 of the same, Prabhupad wrote:
“The ‘hidden matters’ can only be known by the special mercy of Sri Krishna and not otherwise. They are not to be divulged to all persons indiscriminately. This explanation offered by the Goswamis is not opposed to the open treatment of the same subject by Sri Jayadeva and others writers. In spite of the Gita Govinda and its companion works, the subject of the relationship of Sri Radhika to Sri Krishna remains shrouded in impenetrable mistery. No language can convey to the lay reader anything but a misleading idea of the nature of the subject on wich Sri Sukadev maintained such discrite silence. This result is hailed with unmistakable joy by Srila Krsna Das Kaviraj Goswami, author of Sri Chaitanya Charitamrta. Kaviraj Goswami pertinently observes that no joy can excel that of the narrator of the hidden subject when he realizes that those very persons are wholly and automatically barred from all knowledge of the subject. They will surely not appreciate the same for fear of whose neblect the writer is afraid to narrate fully. Sri Sukadev Goswami´s hesitation to divulge the secrets of the Vedas is well founded. The conduct of Sri jayadev Goswami in speaking without reserve is equally in order if we remember that his book cannot be understood at all by those who are lacking in the highest spiritual culture.
Certain uncritical writers have even thrown mud at the author of Gita-Govinda; but they are the exceptions. Generally writers have thought it wise to avoid all reference to the subject for the honest enough reason that they have failed to understand how a book wich has a most obscene exterior could be cherished by all the great devotees of the country, whose conduct is universally admitted to have been free from any taint of casuality.”

Most Americans would probably say, if asked, that the greatest embarrassment in the history of the United States was its participation in the transatlantic slave trade. Others might reasonably argue that the United States had some other more destructive embarrassments, such as the extermination of the continent’s indigenous population. The important point, however, is that none but a madman would sincerely argue in the 21st century that the slave trade was anything but evil. Because of this fact, many people neglect to examine the anti-slavery movement of the 19th century and do not see it as an actual political movement that used tactics similar to those of other revolutions, such as the Protestant Revolution, the American Revolution, and the French Revolution, such as propaganda. Many merely see the end of slavery as the natural progression of things without examining the causes of that natural progression. Unfortunately, some even believe in the bizarre non sequitur that if anti-slavery activists had partaken in the dissemination of propaganda and engaged in deceptive political operating, that the premise of the anti-slavery movement would have been undermined. Nothing could be further from the truth. Simply because the anti-slavery movement dismantled an institution that is now universally regarded as evil does not mean that anti-slavery activists did not engage in the grittiness of politics. Some of those who labored for the abolitionist movement and exercised exceptional political intellect are also not extended the credit that is their due. Olaudah Equiano, for example, who is principally remembered nowadays as an ex-slave who recorded his personal story of slavery, was much more than a mere victim of the slave trade. Equiano was an intelligent and strong-minded political activist who, not only engaged directly in gritty politics in England, but also had an acute understanding of the power of propaganda and used it with a Machiavellian shrewdness to expedite the end of the slave trade and to effectively free countless slaves in the United Kingdom. The suggestion that Equiano was a slave and therefore could not have engaged in propaganda as other revolutionaries and intellectuals had, such as Jacques-Louis David, who produced immensely successful propaganda for Napoleon and the French Revolution, is a brand of internal racism that suggests that Equiano was either too simple-minded or too uneducated to properly understand the functioning of propaganda and Realpolitik. One glance at Equiano’s personal letters, his achievements in the British Parliament, and the other records that have been collected from his life reveal that he was a towering intellectual of the anti-slavery movement and one of the most skilled political operators and propagandists in the entire history of the movement. Indeed, the manner in which Equiano not only composed, but also marketed, his masterpiece The Interesting Narrative of Olaudah Equiano, Written by Himself, demonstrates the man’s true power as a political activist and propagandist.
Olaudah Equiano’s self-published narrative did not become successful merely by dint of its merits, but rather because Equiano traveled extensively to do so and had a keen understanding of the best manner in which to market the book. Equiano understood, first of all, the manner in which whites perceived black men and also perceived him, a genuine anomaly—a free and refined black man who wore his hair in the European manner and dressed as a European did—a black man who could read as well as the English, write as well as the English, and play the French horn better than the English. Equiano artfully, and intelligently, exploited this self-image as means of marketing his book and thereby disseminating the anti-slavery message across England. Equiano understood that he was indeed an anomaly to whites—a marvel, a curiosity, and, in short, a side-show attraction—and he knew that if he were to parade himself around England engage in what a leading Equiano scholar calls the “most successful political tour in history” that he would draw crowds eager to see a well-spoken black man in a cravat and periwig (just as whites reading his book today are likely surprised to see the same image on the frontispiece of the narrative). Equiano would then sell a narrative “written by himself” to white men and women who had never seen a refined black man before, never mind heard of one who wrote a book in a European language9. Equiano’s status as an anomaly is likely what led to his appeal and something that (alongside his natural talents) turned his book into a best-seller. In short, Equiano marketed his book as a curiosity item to the gaping white men and women of England, who were confusedly marketing at the sight of a refined black man, and then he, in turn, handed them an anti-slavery propaganda book—something that was not an actual account of his own life, but an item that was used as an instrument to put an end to the white institution of Negro slavery. He first exploited the whites’ preconception of blacks as “heathen illiterates, with minds and bodies alike scorched into strangeness by the intense heat of the tropics” by drawing attention to himself as an anomaly, and then up-turned the very same preconception which had caused the whites to gape at him in the first place by selling them anti-slavery propaganda that extended more rights to all black men and women9. Equiano essentially used a pincer movement to, on the one hand, become a best-selling author in England and, on the other, to promote the end of the slave trade in England by directly influencing the “enactment of Slave Trade Act of 1807”11. Such can only be the masterwork of a supreme propagandist.
Equiano’s marketing of the Narrative was not his only successful political maneuver. The contents of the book were supremely powerful and effective in driving slavery in Europe towards its conclusion. In the first chapter, for example, it becomes immediately clear that Equiano understood the propagandistic power of recording the horrors and distress of one’s being torn from one’s homeland and taken against one’s will to a foreign land. He understood that such was an important aspect of the slave experience and that it would be highly effective in generating a distinct, sympathetic response from his readers. Even though the records show that Equiano was born into slavery in South Carolina and was not captured in Africa and taken to the New World, as his narrative claims, Equiano nonetheless understood that a slave narrative without a story of a slave’s being taken from his homeland is an ineffectual slave story. Equiano recognized the essentialness of juxtaposing the calm and plentitude of a life in Africa with the darkness and misery of a life as a slave in the Western world. That is the reason that Equiano describes himself as one who comes from an idyllic vale that “produces all kinds of vegetables in great abundance” and from a community in which everyone “contributes something to the common stock” and all are “unacquainted with idleness”6. Indeed, that is the reason that Equiano dedicates most of the first chapter of his narrative to illustrating his homeland as something that can only be rivalled by More’s Utopia. Had Equiano neglected to include this juxtaposition in his narrative (one that was both effective and real for many slaves who came to the New World), it is possible that the book would have fallen flat and failed to properly become, not the most sincere slave narrative, but the most effective one.
To ensure that his audience would respond sympathetically to his narrative, Equiano also needed to have a main character who was a humble, gentle, and intelligent man—someone who calmly and patiently endures his cruelties, and seldom condemns or casts aspersions on his captors and masters. When Equiano describes his capture, for example, he writes:
…my cries had no other effect than to make them tie me faster and stop my mouth, and then they put me into a large sack. They also stopped my sister’s mouth, and tied her hands … I cried and grieved continually; and for several days I did not eat anything. (Equiano 50-51, The Interesting Narrative, Vol. I)
In addition, when Equiano understands that he will not see his sister or family ever again, he does not curse and condemn those who captured her, but explains with an air of patience and understanding that he “did not long remain after [his] sister” (Equiano 62, The Interesting Narrative, Vol. I) before proceeding on to his next struggle. Such calm and Christ-like endurance on behalf of Equiano demonstrates to his audience that he is, not only a human being, but an ideal human being from the Christian point of view, and therefore, a supreme object of sympathy in the eyes of Christian men and women. Had Equiano complained in his narrative—had he condemned more than he expressed gratitude—, then he would have lost his saintly luster and readers would have also lost some small part of their fondness—and their sympathy—for him and his cause. Generating sympathy and maintaining a tone and a tolerance that is in accordance with the Christian ideal was therefore essential for Equiano’s maintaining sympathy in the hearts of his Christian readers.
The tone that Equiano assumes in the Narrative is not a genuine tone, but rather, one that he assumes to ensure that his readers will respond sympathetically to and, in turn, push for the end of slavery. Equiano himself was not a gentle and soft-spoken man; in fact, he was quite the contrary, as many of the “forceful letters” that he sent to newspapers, “praising new anti-slavery books, defending abolitionist friends, and protesting a pro-slavery speech he had heard from the House of Lords visitors’ gallery,” reveal9. Equiano was someone who was bold and who did not “shy away from controversy, and even strongly praised intermarriage—something never endorsed by white abolitionists”9. In one such letter to a West Indian plantation owner, Equiano writes:
A more foolish prejudice than [the prejudice against interracial marriage] never warped a cultivated mind. … Why not establish intermarriages at home, and in our Colonies? and encourage open, free, and generous love upon Nature’s own wide and extensive plan … without distinction of the colour of a skin? (Hochschild)
Equiano’s tone in this excerpt—that is, calling the majority of whites in Europe “cultivated,” but mentally “warped,” and denouncing their prejudices as “foolish”—is noticeably different from the more humble and modest tone in The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano9. For example, when Equiano is describing his homeland in his book for what he believes is too long, he says, “I hope the reader will not think I have trespassed on his patience in introducing myself to him with some account of the manner and customs of my country” (Equiano 45, The Interesting Narrative, Vol. I.). In summary, Equiano presents himself in his narrative as someone who is modest and deferential, but, in his personal and political letters, he reveals himself to be an opinionated and assertive man. Indeed, the only time that Equiano uses the word “foolish,” as he does so freely in his personal letters, in the nearly 530 pages of his narrative is in reference to himself (Equiano 3, The Interesting Narrative, Vol. I). This marked contrast in tone demonstrates that Equiano’s character in his narrative and Equiano himself are not necessarily the same person. That does not mean that Equiano was deceptive, but rather, that he understood that the, if he had portrayed himself sincerely, as a firebrand and revolutionary—as a slave who was born in the Carolinas, had the intellectual wherewithal to earn his freedom by the age of 20, and spent his adulthood in political activism fighting against the status quo of the white Europeans, he would have been far less successful in generating a sense of sympathy in the hearts of his readers. It was rather this gentle, sensitive, and thoughtful innocent, who was torn from his land unwillingly and forced to live a life no better than a brute that evokes sympathy in readers and furthers the cause the Equiano fought for his whole life—that is, the end of slavery of England.
Most Equiano scholars also now accept that he was not born in Africa, as his Narrative claims, thereby leading one to conclude that he must have been knowingly creating a propaganda piece3. That does not make Equiano a deceptive person, but rather, a practitioner of Realpolitik. Equiano likely saw the institution of slavery as so vile and so wicked that he prioritized his efforts to end it above the sincerity or integrity of his narrative, and he created a brilliant propaganda piece that achieved just that. First, according to a 1759 baptismal record from St. Margaret’s Church in London, Gustavus Vassa was “born in Carolina” and baptized at the age of twelve7. A number of Equiano scholars, such as Vincent Carretta and Angelo Costanzo, point out that Equiano’s descriptions of Eboe are almost identical to the writings of the famous Philadelphian Quaker and anti-slavery writer, Anthony Benezet2. For example, in Benezet’s historical account of Guinea, he writes: “That part of Africa from which the Negroes are sold to be carried into slavery, commonly known by the name of Guinea, extends along the coast three or four thousand miles”1. Two decades later, Equiano, in his The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, Written by Himself, describes Guinea in an almost identical manner by writing the following: “That part of Africa, known by the name of Guinea, to which the trade of slaves is carried on, extends along the coast above 3,400 miles…” (Equiano 4, The Interesting Narrative). It is no coincidence either that Equiano’s descriptions are so similar since Equiano was, not only familiar with Benezet’s work, but adored it. He reviewed many of Benezet’s books and also favorably mentions Benezet’s essay, Caution to Great Britain and Colonies Concerning the Calamitous State of the enslaved Negroes, in a letter that he sends to Quakers in 17858. It can therefore be concluded that Equiano’s stories of being born in Africa were invented for propaganda purposes—to depict the slave experience as effectually as possible.
Equiano’s claim that he was born in Africa also had the intended effect of humanizing the Africans, since it creates a sense of cultural relativism and shows that Africans are not sub-human savages, as many whites believed, but are merely different culturally. For example, in the first chapter of the Narrative, Equiano describes the manners and customs of his native country of Eboe, which, in some ways, are equal to the European customs, and, in other ways, superior to them—especially in terms of their equitability. In one of his stories, he describes an instance in which “a man was brought before [his] father, and the other judges, for kidnapping a boy; and, although he was the son of a chief or senator, he was condemned to make recompense by a man or woman slave” (Equiano 7, The Interesting Narrative, Vol. I). In the United Kingdom, no slave would have ever been afforded legal rights, thereby suggesting that the legal system in Equiano’s supposed home country is more just than that of European ones. That story is effectual since the Europeans probably did not believe that savages could have a sense of justice, and Equiano’s descriptions showed, first of all, that blacks were not savages, and, secondly, that, in many ways, African societies were more equitable, and much less avaricious, than European ones. Such stories likely made the Europeans reconsider their preconceptions about black Africans and helped to further the anti-slavery cause in England.
What relieved the burden of Equiano’s task somewhat was the fact that he was not generating a new feeling of sympathy in white Europeans; the idea that slavery was an evil practice had been afloat amongst European intellectuals long before the passing of the Slave Trade Act of 1807 in England. Thomas Jefferson, for example, had denounced King George’s support of the slave trade in the original draft of the Declaration of Independence, deeming it a “cruel war against human nature itself,” and a violation of human nature’s “most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him”5. The majority of Quakers, such as Equiano’s personal favorite, Anthony Benezet, had also held anti-slavery views almost as long as Quakerism was a belief system. In addition, around the time that Equiano released his work, anti-slavery propaganda was in full swing in England; engravings of packed-slave ships were being published in newspapers and people were openly condemning slavery in the public arena9. Equiano’s work, which elicited the right amount of sympathy in readers, was just what the anti-slavery cause needed at the time and, with Equiano’s gentle voice, it toppled the slave trade in the United Kingdom.
Part of the success of Equiano’s skill as a propagandist is evinced in the fact that his book became a best-seller when it was first published in 1789 and, from 1789 to 1794, underwent nine editions and was translated into German, Dutch, and Russian4. Even though some scholars now recognize it as an “important instrument of abolitionist propaganda,” and a piece that directly influenced the enactment of the Slave Trade Act of 180711, the preponderance of people continue to take the work at face value and see it from the perspective of those whom Equiano needed to convince and, in a sense, that perspective dilutes the true intellectual power of Equiano, a master propagandist and writer—as a man who implemented Realpolitik, and not simplicity and sincerity, to end the slave trade. Sympathy was the primary instrument of his propaganda and, the freedom of the slaves, his primary end—one that he had worked towards for many years. Equiano’s talents as a writer and marketer made him an instant celebrity in the United Kingdom, but some neglect to remember that he had been politically active for many years before the publication of his book and was known well amongst British abolitionists: In 1788, for example, he “led a delegation to the House of Commons to support a William Dolben’s bill, to improve conditions on slave ships, by limiting the number of enslaved Africans that ships could carry”12. There is a letter addressed to Parliament at the beginning of the book, and a letter addressed to the Queen at the end. In his letter to the Queen, he beseeches her to raise “the wretched Africans” from “the condition of brutes, to which they are at present degraded,” and to endow them with “the rights and situation of freemen” (Equiano 245, The Interesting Narrative, Vol. II). Equiano’s name even extended back to Continent where he was born—America—, where it was “the sole new literary work from England reprinted in the United States” for a period of time9. It would not be too much to say that Equiano’s narrative was not only important in England, but in all of the West; it was as important for the abolitionist movement as Jacques-Louis David’s paintings were for the French Revolution10. Olaudah Equiano, like Jacques-Louis David, understood what was needed to appeal to the common man and woman and to draw them into his cause. That is the reason that Equiano’s book was not only a commercial success, but a political success as well. Equiano should be celebrated, not for being a victim, but instead, for being the skilled activist and propagandist that he was. As Vincent Carretta, a University of Maryland professor explains:
Equiano’s possible American birth [does not] undermine the importance of the Narrative. … To imagine that guile and deception were of no use to slaves and former slaves would be ridiculous, as the Brer Rabbit stories show. (“The True Story of Equiano”)
Just as a slave on a plantation would have been justified to use some form of deception to escape his master, so does it make sense that Equiano, in his attempt to free all black men from their enslavement in the United Kingdom and its colonies, used propaganda as well.
If an intelligent, resolute, and strong-willed person is enslaved, it is only reasonable to believe that that person will do all in his power to ensure his future safety. Equiano did just that. He first earned the modern equivalent of £6,000 through trading to earn his freedom from his master Robert King, and then, he learned how to read and write. Equiano pored over the anti-slavery texts of the day, mostly written by Quakers, and then, he reasoned that the best formula for an anti-slavery book would be this: To travel as much as possible around England and to market the book as a curiosity—that is, to sell an “interesting narrative” to white Europeans who had never read a book by a black man, or perhaps never even saw a black man who could write—, and then, to deliver them a powerful anti-slavery narrative that persuades one of the wickedness of the slave trade through an invocation of sympathy, cultural relativism, and, most of all, the fact that Equiano, a mere slave, is as educated and as eloquent as most whites. Just as art historians would argue that Caravaggio implemented certain techniques in his paintings to create the powerful religious messages that he created, so did Equiano implement specific techniques to pull at the heartstrings of his audience and to convince them of the injustices of the slave trade. For these reasons, Equiano’s autobiography was a much more powerful propaganda piece than the posters of slave ships and the speeches that some of the abolitionists of the day were presenting to the public—Equiano single-handedly undermined all of the prejudices of the white Europeans and, through sympathy, showed them that what they were doing was evil.

Whenever I visit an unfamiliar city, I do my best to visit any bookstore to peruse the local recommendations. I love when shop employees leave hand-written reviews on the shelves for books they’ve enjoyed reading; it makes leaving empty-handed a little difficult, but I think it’s reached a point in which I can’t keep up with the growing amount of reading material. When I went to the iconic Elliott Bay Book Company in Seattle, it required will-power to leave without anything new. While a little heart-broken over the lack of any new literary acquisitions, I remembered there are at least twelve unfinished books (at least in recent memory) in my personal library.
That’s where the first day of Summer comes in. To mark the upcoming longest day of the year, I’ve started a modest reading list of books that I actually need to finish so I can gradually move onto the unread material I’ve been eyeballing in my shelves. Here’s the stack I’m making it a goal to finish this summer:
Daniel Kahneman, Thinking, Fast and Slow | Sometimes with all this literature on creativity, I crave something a little more on the scientific or technical end, just to shake things up. I referenced this book a few posts back here, and I unfortunately haven’t made as much progress since that post. Daniel Kahneman writes about voluntary and involuntary thought, and how both affect our perception and decision-making. It’s a little slow at the beginning, but I’ve read a little further to find a few exercises to prove a few of the points Kahneman makes. So far, it’s an interesting look into one aspect of human cognition, and I’ve often found myself examining my own thought processes.
Debbie Millman, Look Both Ways | Debbie Millman’s book is a collection of personal essays on the intersections between design and real life. If her personal stories don’t charm and inspire, then maybe you might find the overall design of the book endearing. Some of her essays are embroidered or even hand-written in marker, on chalkboard, or even divided amongst index cards.
Kio Stark, Don’t Go Back to School | While I do believe there are professions that require a certain amount of schooling along with the appropriate advanced degrees and certifications, this book isn’t about pursuing those career paths; neither is it solely about bypassing the system. Kio Stark interviewed filmmakers, artists, journalists, and even a few scientists about how they’ve pursued other areas of interest, or furthered their careers without having to go the conventional route via grad school. It’s an inspiring read so far, with few a thoughts on the lifelong pursuit of knowledge without subjection to our merit-based educational institution.
Robert Bringhurst, The Elements of Typographic Style | Ah, the all-mighty required reading for undergrad design students everywhere—well, most of them at least. It was on a reading list from one of my typography instructors, but somehow it got neglected in between painstakingly drawing out and painting letterforms from the Garamond family and learning to use Adobe software. The Elements of Typographic Style was Bringhurst’s response to Strunk & White’s The Elements of Style. If Strunk & White believe a message should be clearly-written to serve its audience, then Bringhurst adds that it should be set in such a way that honors the content. It’s more of a refresher, even being years out from school, but I’m still learning new things from this book.
I just realized there isn’t any fiction in this list. Maybe during the next quarter, if I finish this stack, I’ll work on whatever unfinished fiction is on my list. What are you guys reading right now?


The malicious destroyer scans his evil eyes over the landscape of a people who were at peace and prosperous. He knew his labor was not to convince but to deceive. He was trained in the principles of life and order in the Creation of the world, yet he rebelled against all that was good and holy and right. Whatever God was for, he was against.
He set his sights on two brothers named Confusion and Chaos and began the process of their wicked apprenticeship.
Confusion and Chaos were twin brothers who went everywhere together. Confusion was methodical and dominant of the two brothers. So wherever Confusion went, Chaos was soon to follow. Chaos was very emotional so his anger could flare in a moment’s notice, and he was merciless in his hatred.
Confusion began his studies inside a place of marbled halls. As time went, the black-robbed ones did not debate but began to question every point of truth. These futile minded philosophers had their understudies to question every tenet of truth as a fairy tale if they intended to alight to higher enlightenment. They were encouraged to abandon their father’s archaic principles so they could flow unhindered in the stream of worldly progress
They failed to realize the body of truth in the world had a beginning and more importantly a Source, who was God. It began like an ancient stone archway that upheld the traffic of Heavenly principles. First a firm foundation was constructed as the base upon the bedrock of eternal truth. Then stone upon stone was laid while supported by timbers of time until the keystone was laid in the archway to bind the whole together.
It was a wonderous bridge that upheld the weight of the ancients who trod over the bridge of life-giving principles. The structure was supported by the strong archway of wisdom constructed of the stones of truth and mortared together with understanding.
The malevolent destroyer of the world knew all the components of the archway that the Benevolent Creator of the Universe had designed. The wicked destroyer was an observer in the building, so he knew all the principles of the structure. Just as an evil architect would know where the structural strength was focused, so he began to destroy. Through guile and deceit, he put into the heart of Confusion to gather others and tear out the foundation, thereby causing every stone to eventually fall.
As the stones of the foundation were being ripped away by Confusion and his malcontents, the bridge which was held aloof above the waters began to tremble as the common villagers crossed in their daily lives. They noted the wobble but were uninterested because their life was still the same. They crossed the stream to the market and home again so why the fuss.
One old prophet began to frequent the bridge and called to the villagers that the troublers were tearing out the foundation stones of the archway. They deflected the prophet’s warning by saying, “Old man, we have been crossing this bridge for centuries. It has survived floods, wars, famines, and storms. It will remain even though it has a wobble. Go back to your cloister and let us be.”
Confusion yelled to the old prophet from below, “We plan to build a better bridge.”
The old prophet asked if they had materials, plans, and the knowhow. They simply answered that it was time to rebuild the old ancient bridge and would worry about the means when the demolition was done.
The old prophet continued to warn, and the villagers continued to laugh.
One day as the festival was to begin, the villagers poured over the bridge with their wares and produce to sell. On this fateful day the center archway would crumble to single stones and the bridge would separate in the middle.
Chaos and his counterparts had followed Confusion at a distance but today they had arrived just in time. Confusion and his workers had torn out the foundation stones and now all was beginning to collapse. Some went left, some went right, while others acted like frightened squirrels not knowing where to run.
Chaos delighted in the melee of the falling bridge. He was overjoyed at the fright in the villagers’ eyes. He loved the barking of dogs, the wild-eyed panic in the horses’ eyes, the screams of horror, the breaking of timbers, and the death of children.
The old bridge first shook, then the archway collapsed, leaving everything above nowhere to go but down. Now it all lay in a pile of rubble in the flowing waters of the stream. Death was all around as bodies were broken and some buried in the debris. One could hear the moaning as limbs were held trapped by stones. Threshing horses struggled until they died.
At the bottom of the tangle of destruction was Confusion who was crushed in his own destruction. Chaos was lying on the top of the heap with a timber piercing his torso, his life bleeding out in an agonizing slow death.
Perched on the city side of the stream was the wicked destroyer smirking in evil pleasure. The prophet was on his knees crying to God.
News had reached the city and the partygoers went about their festival as if nothing had ever happened because mostly the peasants had died. Then the malevolent destroyer cracked a sinister smile as he looked toward the city with an expectant eye. Slowly he sleeked into the city unannounced where the tall buildings rose to meet the morning glow.
“They do not know, nor do they understand; They walk about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are unstable” (Psalms 82:5 NKJV).
“Therefore its name is called Babel [confusion, Babylon], because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth” (Genesis 11:9 NKJV).
Yours on the Journey,

Ken Jordan's latest book has been released: MARINES UNDER FIRE, Alpha 1/1 from Con Thien to Hue City to Khe Sanh.
Company A, 1st Battalion, 1st Marines, 1st Marine Division, known as Alpha 1/1, fought in Vietnam. Their story takes you from January 1967 to the siege at Con Thien, to Quang Tri, to the street and building-to-building fighting in the battle of Hue City at the start of the Tet offensive, to helping break the siege at Khe Sanh in April 1968. It encompasses the mayhem, the chaos, the death and destruction, and, yes, even the humor that comes with war, as seen through the eyes of the Marines in this division and told in their words. They were fighting their own war, a war that was directly in front of them, trying to keep their buddies and themselves alive. As renowned author Stephen E. Ambrose said, his mentors taught him to let his characters speak for themselves. I agree wholeheartedly. After all, they were the ones who were there.
If you are interested in this book contact Ken.
The regular retail price is $34.95. You can purchase an autographed copy for $23.50 + $3.00 S&H.

In seasons six and seven (set in 1960s Southern California), the intro features Laverne and Shirley exiting their apartment building, but still reciting their original chant, and then a re-recorded version of the theme song is played. During the final season (after Cindy Williams left the show), it opens with a group of schoolchildren performing the chant and marching toward an amused Laverne before the theme song begins.At the start of each episode, Laverne and Shirley are skipping down a Milwaukee street, arm in arm, reciting a Yiddish-American hopscotch chant: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Schlemiel!

Chris Haughton, multi-award winning author of Oh No, George and A Bit Lost is back with a new picture book, aimed at the same age group, but this time based in the forest, with misbehaving mango-loving monkeys at the core of the tale. A story about the what ifs in life, consequences and repercussions of those decisions, Maybe… is another beautifully illustrated pleasure to read with the young ones.
Chris Haughton is a freelance illustrator and award winning children’s book writer, notably for A Bit Lost and Oh No George! as well as Shh! We Have a Plan which came out in 2014 and won the AOI award for children’s books for 2014. With this background, we suspected another picture book from Chris to be another fabulous one, and will be highly anticipated.
Three little monkeys and their big monkey sit high on a branch in the forest canopy. “OK, monkeys! I’m off,” says the big monkey. “Remember . . . Whatever you do, do NOT go down to the mango tree. There are tigers down there.” Mmm . . . mangoes! think the little monkeys. They LOVE mangoes. Hmm . . . Maybe . . . maybe they could just look at the mangoes. That would be OK, right? With vivid colours, bold shapes, and his trademark visual humour, Chris Haughton is back with a deliciously exotic and suspenseful story about pushing boundaries and mischievously indulging your more impish side (when nobody is looking).
Maybe… is a wonderful picture book both written and illustrated by Chris that gives readers a taste of vicarious mischief. Clearly for very young readers with sparse words and vibrant colours, it’s a simple tale of doing the thing you have been warned not to and the trouble that this can throw you into. Mangos are the desired fruit, tigers are the cautionary tale, but then when its obvious they should actually be worried about the tail as opposed to the tale, they quickly scurry to avoid trouble. With Haughton’s trademark style of illustration and with similar characters to his other playfully wayward ones of note, Maybe… is one that both adults and toddlers will enjoy. And possibly crave a mango after reading.
Maybe… is available now, published by Walker Books.
