Raised in post-Revolution Granville, Massachusetts, James Gould could only imagine the beauty and warmth of the lands to the south. It was there that he longed to build bridges and lighthouses from his very own designs and plans. His gripping story unfolds as Gould follows his dream to the raw settlement of Bangor on the Penobscot River, St. Simons Island off the coast of Georgia, lawless Spanish East Florida, and back - at last and finally - to St. Simons.

In this masterful novel, a wealthy young northerner, Anson Dodge, discovers new meaning in his life on St. Simons Island, Georgia, just after the Civil War. A man of remarkable and unforgettable kindness and strength, he shares his heart with two very different women - Ellen, who passionately adores him, and Anna, who comforts him in sorrow. They each surrender themselves to his dreams. Anson Dodge's story unfolds as a beautiful tale of honor when he rebuilds the war-torn Christ Church, Frederica, in memory of happy and lost love.

Reaching manhood in the tumultuous years before the Civil War, James Gould’s son Horace returns to St. Simons and finds himself disheartened by the intolerance of others on his beloved island. However, he wins the heart of his lovely neighbor Deborah Abbott, who adores her Mr. Gould and becomes his wife, despite the difference in their years. But even though she is unconcerned with his rumored past, she is saddened by his lack of faith....

With revealing, dynamic insight, Eugenia Price searches for God’s own answers for modern times. The familiar Gospel words breathe with new life as she cuts through the superficialities of those who attempt to deemphasize the Bible and draws up sharp guidelines that 20th-century Christians can follow. Each of Miss Price’s favorite Gospel verses is included in the book, followed by her reflections on them. Her exposition of the beloved King James passages rings with authenticity and poetic authority.

God is not mysterious, or unknowable, or far away according to Eugenia Price. In this encouraging book, she helps listeners discover the loving Savior who came to earth to reach people. The one who makes it possible to come closer to him.

Eugenia Price embodies this Spirit in words that make The Acts a joyous revelation. Something extraordinary happened to the men and women in this New Testament book, ending their grief and filling them with sudden courage. From the moment they poured into the streets on Pentecost to the time of Paul’s last words from prison, Jesus energized these early Christians from within. Their lives reveal the triumphant story of how the church began to “happen”.

In these chaotic times, when many people who claim to be Christian are searching for relevance in the secular to justify their worldly aspirations, much of the Christian heritage is being ignored or discarded. But Miss Eugenia Price turns back time for a moment, and in these early Victorian lyrics, she finds surprisingly sound, contemporary meaning that stands boldly above the ideas of today's so-called radical thinkers.

Here is a bold thinker who can write, a committed Christian who can light up experiences common to us all in a language literate and understandable. As her readers and listeners have come to expect, she does not hesitate to share a viewpoint that has rejected the hot-house conditioning and automatic answers that produce impotent disciples. Rather, she invites us to take a bold look at the pretensions that have been substituted for reality, the doctrinal escapes too long preferred to God himself.
