Based on vivid court records and newspaper advertisements, this 2003 book is a pioneering account of the expectations and experiences of married life among the middle and labouring ranks in the long eighteenth century. Its original methodology draws attention to the material life of marriage, which has long been dominated by theories of emotional shifts or fashionable accounts of spouses' gendered, oppositional lives. Thus it challenges preconceptions about authority in the household, by showing the extent to which husbands depended upon their wives' vital economic activities: household management and child care. Not only did this forge co-dependency between spouses, it undermined men's autonomy. The power balance within marriage is further revised by evidence that the sexual double standard was not rigidly applied in everyday life. The book also shows that ideas about adultery and domestic violence evolved in the eighteenth century, influenced by new models of masculinity and femininity.

Living in our modern materialistic world void of God, and all things pertaining to spiritual things: most are trapped in the delusional mindset of their "Material Possessions" and thereby are deceived by the thought "within themselves" that these material possessions will continue forever! The mindset of those "of this present evil world" appear to be that they will live forever and not see death: this is total delusional and a wile of the devil (the god of this world)! Those in this mental state of delusion seem to believe the lie of the ancient old serpant in the garden in Eden which is "ye will not surely die!" Therefore likeminded folk live continually with the thought that "they shall live forever and not see death! Therefore they labor continually to obtain material possessions, through physical labor without ceasing; mentally within the chambers of their minds thinking of every deceitful and evil means possible to accomplish it including mistreating others! The wisest man in the world "King Solomon" with all of his wisdom given him by God upon his request as a young man; realized in his old years in life as he thought back through the scope of time, that all he had labored to aquire "under the sun" proved to be vain! He concluded after careful consideration of the matter that "all that is done under the sun is in the end of life nothing but vainty and chasing after the wind! He realized that apart from God's divine purpose for mankind, all else is useless: therefore in his old age Solomon hated life as everything in life brought him only sorrow and vexation of spirit. He had all this world could ever offer any human being; yet none of it brought happiness into his life that would last: it was all temporary, and in the end is a great deception to those who set their hearts (minds) on "material possessions" laying them up for themselves for years to come as they know not what a day will bring, nor the day of one's death! The thought of his facing "life's inevitable end" caused him great sorrow of heart (mind) as he faced the ultimate truth "You Can't Take Them With You"! It depressed his spirit greatly when he thought of the fact he as all else who ever lived would have to die, and leave all of his "material possessions" to someone else who had not labored to obtain them: this Solomon felt was a great injustice by Almighty God: alone with his many women of verious nationalities whom turned Solomon's heart from following after God in his old age as God had warned him! It is vital that man separate his heart (mind) from "material possessions" and from the false delusion that he should live forever and not see death! For as surely as man have lived in this world; he will die and leave out of this world: just as man entered so shall he leave; with nothing he can take with him in his hand for naked man enterd and naked shall man depart! This book remind us all, including myself; that man need to get his priorities straight and his house in order, for man will surely die and not live as God told King Hezekiah while on his death bed! Nothing in life now will matter at one's death except what has been done for God! The "god of this world" and the decietfulness of riches and the lust man have for them will rob man of what really matter in life, that being, the salvation of the soul. Lay not up your treasures on earth where thieves break in and steal and the moth corrupt but lay your treasures up in heaven where thieves cannot break in and steal nor moth can corrupt: for "Where your treasures are, Jesus said, 'There your heart (mind) will be also"! What will you profit if you should gain the whole world and in the end lose your own soul? This book will remove the blindness from the eyes of those whom the devil have blinded lest they should believe and "be saved!" God Almighty have blessed us with "Material Possessions" for a divine purpose: you my friend will find that purpose in the pages of this powerful, inspirational book!

The text of this book reveals the fact that because of poverty in our world, theres a desire for every being to accumulate material possessions; therefore, the temptation to pursue this cause of action can never be underestimated regardless of our belief in the Lord God. Regardless of the desire to be wealthy, however, many believers still ascertain the fact that poverty must be encouraged as part of our faith in Jesus Christ our Lord. They support the argument from the biblical text thus: For, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God (Luke 18:25). Conversely, other believers assert that God does not refute richness and therefore also affirms their belief with the biblical verse that says in the Proverbs 22:7 that the rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. In Ecclesiastes 5:19 we hear further thus: When God gives any man a wealth and possessions and enables him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his workthis is a gift of God. Furthermore we hear from 1 Samuel 2:7 that the Lord makes poor and makes rich; he brings low and he exalts. These biblical verses indicate the fact that God raises both the rich and the poor. The Good News Bible (in giant print) expands this verse to mean the Lord makes some men poor and others rich; He humbles some and makes others great (1 Sam. 2:7). Deducing from these texts, we can come to some kind of understanding that further reflection on both sides of the arguments is fundamentally in demand for an in-depth illumination of how to live within the grace of the Living God.

Focus on what matters most—and intentionally remove the rest. Logically, we all know our purpose in life is not wrapped up in accumulating possessions, wealth, power, and prestige—Jesus is very clear about that—but society tells us otherwise. Christian Minimalism attempts to cut through our assumptions and society’s lies about what life should look like and invites readers into a life that Jesus calls us to live: one lived intentionally, free of physical, spiritual, and emotional clutter. Written by a woman who simplified her own life and practices these principles daily, this book gives readers a fresh perspective on how to live out God’s grace for us in new and exciting ways and live out our faith in a way that is deeply satisfying.

Money and wealth were as much an obsession in Biblical times as they are today, be it taxes, overturning tables in the temple, passing through the eyes of needles or forty pieces of silver, we all think we are familiar with what the Bible has to say on the subject. But it's just not that simple. Barclay's translations shed new light on the real meanings behind these oft-told stories and his contextual, cultural and historical observations get right beneath the skin of the people represented. This book is part of a fantastic series and Insights Money has an inspiring Foreword by Sally Magnusson.
