"Is Jesus Christ king of your life?" The Gospel of Matthew challenges us with this most crucial and life-changing question. Mathew's gospel, from start to finish, reminds us that Jesus is much more than a carpenter. Jesus is our King! And the more we begin to relinquish control of our lives to Him, the more we experience the blessing of God's Kingdom today.

Instead, it is defined by a life that reflects the relationship you have with Jesus Christ your King. With Jesus at the center of your life, there is no stopping what He will do for you every day. Imagine the woman you will become when you allow Jesus to fully reign in your life. Your study of the Gospel of Matthew will help you build an authentic relationship with Jesus that will be a blessing to you and everyone around you.

The purpose of this dissertation is to demonstrate that Caroline Gilman's work was encouraged in the beginning by a family culture which valued literary arts and praised her skill as a writer, and that it is best understood not through feminist paradigms but rather as a manifestation of her commitment to nineteenth century Unitarian ideas concerning the improvability of humankind (in contrast to the Calvinist doctrine of innate depravity) and the usefulness of aesthetics (literature and the arts) as a vehicle for that improvement. She was also encouraged by a husband who, as a Unitarian minister, supported her work as an editor of children's magazines. They believed salvation came to human souls not through soteriology but through shaping the moral character of each individual child. Living in the Deep South at the time of the Civil War, and being a slaveholder herself, makes Gilman suspect to some, but she felt that she had an obligation to fulfill to the black race.
