The grandfather clock first appeared in the late seventeenth century. Virtually none of these clocks is beyond repair, and often the work required is within the scope of inexperienced owners. This is the first full-length book to cover repair and restoration of these attractive and often valuable antiques, including their casework. The first part outlines how to clean and service the clock "works," and also how to refurbish the dial, while in the second part restoration or casework, both structural repairs and finishing, is considered. Armed with this book and appropriate tools, the owner of a dilapidated grandfather clock will be encouraged and given the know-how to restore it to life as a useful and attractive clock and a prized possession.

This dictionary contains virtually all the classical references in some 80 English poets - subject to some qualification. In most cases there is a paragraph which defines the subject as it appears in the subsequent references, and these paragraphs are usually followed by indications of the main source for the subject. The second part of the book lists all the poets and poems cited, together with the references made. Thus, several purposes and approaches are possible. You might, for example, be interested in the substance and poetic use of a myth by one or more poets (possibly compared), in which case you would consult the first section; or you might be interested in the meaning of a line or series of lines, in which case you could consult either section; or, if you were concerned as to the frequency and nature of allusion in the work of a poet or in a poem, you would go to the second part, the author index.

Did you ever read something in the gospels and wonder, "Why did Jesus do that?" Did you ever read a passage in the Old Testament and wonder, "Why is this in the Bible?" As twenty-first century readers, we're removed from the Bible's context in many ways: language, culture, time and location. Because of that distance, our view of Jesus can be a bit fuzzy. In Jesus Prequel, Eric Smith sharpens our picture of Jesus by showing how the Old Testament is the "backstory" of the gospels. Drawing insights from Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy and Isaiah, Smith shows the deeper meanings in play when Jesus walks on water, tells his disciples to eat the Passover meal "in remembrance of him," and performs miracles. This book will expand your understanding of Jesus' context and deepen your appreciation of his work.

Jesus Prequel

Divya Sharma is a queen. Or she is when she s playing Reclaim the Sun, the year s hottest online game. Divya better known as popular streaming gamer D1V regularly leads her #AngstArmada on quests through the game s vast and gorgeous virtual universe. But for Divya, this is more than just a game. Out in the real world, she s trading her rising-star status for sponsorships to help her struggling single mom pay the rent.
Gaming is basically Aaron Jericho s entire life. Much to his mother s frustration, Aaron has zero interest in becoming a doctor like her and spends his free time writing games for a local developer. At least he can escape into Reclaim the Sun and with a trillion worlds to explore, disappearing should be easy. But to his surprise, he somehow ends up on the same remote planet as celebrity gamer D1V.
At home, Divya and Aaron grapple with their problems alone, but in the game, they have each other to face infinite new worlds and the growing legion of trolls populating them. Soon the virtual harassment seeps into reality when a group called the Vox Populi begin launching real-world doxxing campaigns, threatening Aaron s dreams and Divya s actual life. The online trolls think they can drive her out of the game, but everything and everyone Divya cares about is on the line 
And she isn t going down without a fight.
