In this wide-ranging and challenging book, Ruth Smith shows that the words of Handel's oratorios reflect the events and ideas of their time and have far greater meaning than has hitherto been realized. She sheds new light on the oratorio librettists and explores literature, music, aesthetics, politics and religion to reveal Handel's texts as conduits for eighteenth-century thought and sensibility. This book enriches our understanding of Handel, his times, and the relationships between music and its intellectual contexts.

An unspeakable tragedy leads one nurse to the brink of despair in Ruth Smith’s heartbreaking debut novel, Finally. Annie seemingly has it all: A loving husband, three beautiful children, and a job that allows her to help others and truly make a difference. All of that changes in an instant when Annie’s husband and children are killed in a tragic car accident. Her world shattered, she is unsure how to proceed. Annie eventually finds herself trying to forge a new life, a mission that takes her across the country to care for Bridger Jones, a former pro-football player, after he is hit by a drunk driver on his way home from a game. Already fragile, Annie finds her jaded and self-pitying new client almost unbearable. His abrasive personality tempts Annie to call it quits on the first day and return home, but she and Bridger eventually form an uneasy truce. As the days and months past, their lives begin taking on some semblance of a routine. But the closer the two become, the more frightened Annie becomes. Will she ever learn to reconcile her tragic past with hope for the future?

We all need to see where God is and has been in our lives. His fingerprints are everywhere, and we just have to deepen our relationship with Him to see them. In a thirty-day devotional and journal, Ruth Smith intertwines insight from her own spiritual journey with introspective journal prompts to inspire other believers to see the fingerprints God has left on their lives, ultimately strengthening their faith in the process. Through her guidance, spiritual seekers will identify the lessons God is trying to teach them, God's will for their lives, what is their Jericho, whether the fog is obstructing their view of seeing God's fingerprints, what others see when they look at us, whether they are at peace with life, what God is orchestrating for His perfect timing, and much more. Fingerprints of God shares inspirational stories and thought-provoking journal prompts that lead believers on a journey inward to identify God's influence on their lives. "In my lifetime I have read dozens of daily devotionals. None have touched me as deeply as Ruth's. Her stories made me both laugh and cry but more importantly they seeped into my soul. I could literally feel God's Fingerprints on her words. What a delightful and meaningful devotional." --Linda Toupin National Sales Director Emeritus "Ruth shares through personal stories and scripture a thought-provoking way to see God's fingerprints in ordinary events and occurrences." --Vickie Pappas, Author, Blessings Along the Wa
