Once known as Junction Grove, the rich history of Englewood began in the mid-1800s as the area quickly developed into a rail and commerce crossroads. Junction Grove changed its name to Englewood in 1868, and in 1889, it became part of the City of Chicago. With its cross streets at 63rd and Halsted, the four railroad stations, and the 63rd Street 'L' stop, Englewood has long been a transportation hub of the south west side. This easy access helped to make Englewood one of the largest outlying business districts in the country for much of the first half of the 20th century. But Englewood has changed over the years. Now a struggling urban area, it is nevertheless known for its grassroots organizations and strong sense of community, on the forefront of revival.Chicago's Englewood Neighborhood: At the Junction explores the history of the people, places, commerce, and community that have created this ever-changing neighborhood.

Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ...the Northern railroad as brakeman. In the course of time he went through the various grades until he finally reached the position of conductor of the express train which carried the major part of the commuters to and from New York. This was nicknamed the "Gospel Train," and Mr. Blauvelt was addressed as "Dominie." Mr. Blauvelt was a man of fine character, he was courteous in manner, very careful of the school children who came to Englewood from up the road, knew his regular passengers by name and always had a word of friendly morning greeting, which was returned in kind. In 1894 he was ordained as a minister of the Methodist denomination. He preached his first sermon in the Piermont M. E. church and served as supply in the locality. He had been retired from the railroad service some years before he answered the last roll call. The closing year of the administration brought the usual political ripples on the surface of things. During the year, the city fathers felt themselves cramped, financially, by the passage of a law at Trenton, limiting the tax rate. This law had as its purpose the favoring of railroads and other corporations, whose tax values were fixed at Trenton. It produced, in the end, through the resulting appointment of county boards to equalize taxes as between municipalities, a much more just assessment than had maintained. "Equal Taxation," the cry of the "New Idea' group, led by Everett Colby and George L. Record, found a warm response among the younger republicans of Englewood. At the September primaries, the Colby delegates carried every ward against the regulars, though the movement was beaten in the county and state conventions. As a matter of record, the names of the winning delegates...

A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK A BELLETRIST BOOK CLUB PICK For fans of The Hours and Fates and Furies, a bold, kaleidoscopic novel intertwining the lives of three women across three centuries as their stories of sex, power, and desire finally converge in the present day. Lily is a mother and a daughter. And a second wife. And a writer, maybe? Or she was going to be, before she had children. Now, in her rented Brooklyn apartment she’s grappling with her sexual and intellectual desires, while also trying to manage her roles as a mother and a wife in 2016. Vivian Barr seems to be the perfect political wife, dedicated to helping her charismatic and ambitious husband find success in Watergate-era Washington D.C. But one night he demands a humiliating favor, and her refusal to obey changes the course of her life—along with the lives of others. Esther is a fiercely independent young woman in ancient Persia, where she and her uncle’s tribe live a tenuous existence outside the palace walls. When an innocent mistake results in devastating consequences for her people, she is offered up as a sacrifice to please the King, in the hopes that she will save them all. In Anna Solomon's The Book of V., these three characters' riveting stories overlap and ultimately collide, illuminating how women’s lives have and have not changed over thousands of years.

Reading Revelation Responsibly is for those who are confused by, afraid of, and/or preoccupied with the book of Revelation. In rescuing the Apocalypse from those who either completely misinterpret it or completely ignore it, Michael Gorman has given us both a guide to reading Revelation in a responsible way and a theological engagement with the text itself. He takes interpreting the book as a serious and sacred responsibility, believing how one reads, teaches, and preaches Revelation can have a powerful impact on one's own--and other people's--well-being. Gorman pays careful attention to the book's original historical and literary contexts, its connections to the rest of Scripture, its relationship to Christian doctrine and practice, and its potential to help or harm people in their life of faith. Rather than a script for the end times, Gorman demonstrates how Revelation is a script for Christian worship, witness, and mission that runs counter to culturally embedded civil religion.
