Children of the Monkey God - Chinese Culture / History 

F. S. Choo grew up in a traditional Chinese Hakka family in Sarawak, Malaysia at a time when it was administered by British colonial rule. Written in the gentle style of his native culture, he charts and reveals a fascinating world beginning with his great grandfather’s migra-tion from China to West Kalimantan, Borneo in the early 1850’s; his life as a gold miner and his connection to the mysterious Kongsi, a unique self-governing democratic organ-ization that flourished until the mid 1800’s when it came into conflict with Dutch colonial rule and the White Rajahs of Sarawak, Borneo.

 Covering a period of 115 years, 1850-1965,  Children of the Monkey God deals with the experiences of four generations of a Chinese family in Sarawak. Candid and at times humorous, satirical and controversial, it vividly captures life at the crossroads of change in the 1950’s and ‘60’s when the sun was setting on the colonial era.  It conveys to the reader the multi-layered cultural influences of British colonialism, the burgeoning American pop-scene, and that of the different Chinese dialect groups. It offers a fascinating insight into some of the social, cultural and religious beliefs and practices of a world that is fast disappearing and seldom seen by westerners.

Ancient Manuscripts of Jesus Christ - Religion//History

Sometimes treasures of great wealth can be discovered centuries after their creation, to become pearls of great price to the discoverer.  This can happen, either  by chance or by Divine Providence.  Certainly God has a time and place for all things.

Such is the case with "Ancient Manuscripts of the Life and Times of Jesus Christ."  Although this book was first compiled and printed in the mid-1800s, it has lain dormant for more than a century, being handed down through several generations of its original author.

Perhaps Divine intervention has chosen this time for its resurrection; for this book is spiritually charged with new insights into the days and times of Jesus Christ.  It is a book concerned with a journey to faith, a ten year expedition which resulted in the discovery of ancient manuscripts, found in the archives of European libraries in the 1800s by a man who was driven by theological inspiration.

Join him in discovering the life and times of Jesus, the Christ, Our Savior.

Diary of the American Revolution, Volume 1 - History 

The history of any great event is a worthwhile subject for study and the American Revolution was one of the greatest events of all of human existence. One would be hard pressed to find better examples of the arrogance of statism and the principled resoluteness of liberty. These pages present the day-to-day events of the Revolution in a unique manner: in the words of those who experienced them.  Eyewitnesses on every side of the conflict related their experiences through local newspapers and in their own diaries and letters. Frank Moore collected hundreds of those reports from over forty Whig and Tory newspapers, five collections of letters, and five diaries into the two volumes of _Diary of the American Revolution_ in 1858. Since then they have been listed in the bibliography of almost every important work on that period. No study of the Revolution could possibly be complete without these volumes.

From many pages of humor at the expense of General Burgoyne to the infuriating murder of Jenny McCrea you will be informed, angered, and greatly entertained. Even if you are no historian, these volumes will be of inestimable value to your understanding of politics, human nature, and the current state of affairs in America.
