"God loves you. He wants to hang out with you every day and teach you how to live an energized, superpowered life. To connect with God and learn what our superpower might be, we get to know Him and listen to Him speak to us through the Bible and His creation. Once we've allowed Him to connect with us, He downloads a superpower or two right into our hearts to help us make a difference in this sad, sinful world. He hopes you'll share what you've learned from Him with everyone you meet. The stories in this book teach us valuable lessons about who God is and how God acts, and show us what He longs to do for His children all around the world-with your help"--

In "The History of Chivalry: Knighthood and Its Times (Vol.1&2)", Charles Mills intricately examines the cultural and historical constructs surrounding chivalry, a pivotal element in the medieval social structure. Through meticulous research, Mills weaves a narrative that encompasses the evolution of knighthood, exploring not only the codes of conduct that defined chivalric ideals but also the socio-political landscapes in which they thrived. His prose blends scholarly rigor with accessible storytelling, allowing readers to appreciate both the grandeur and the intricacies of chivalric culture within the broader context of medieval history. Charles Mills, a prominent figure in the 19th century, dedicated his academic endeavors to the exploration of English history, particularly the influences of feudalism and chivalry. His background as a historian, coupled with his interest in the romantic notions of knighthood, provided the impetus for this comprehensive study. Mills aimed to reach a diverse audience, blending intellectual inquiry with a wider cultural appreciation for the age of chivalry, an inspiration drawn from both scholarly research and the popular imaginations of his time. This two-volume work is highly recommended for scholars, students, and general readers who seek a profound understanding of the intersection between history and literature in the context of chivalric traditions. Mills'' engaging narrative and insightful analysis make this book an essential addition to the library of anyone interested in medieval history and the enduring legacy of knighthood.

Charles Mills Gayley (February 22, 1858 - July 25, 1932) was a professor of English, the Classics, and Academic Dean of the University of California at Berkeley between the fall of 1889 and July 1932. At Berkeley, Gayley was an author, scholar, orator, and widely acclaimed literary critic.

This collection of literature attempts to compile many of the classic works that have stood the test of time and offer them at a reduced, affordable price, in an attractive volume so that everyone can enjoy them.

First published in 2005. This definitive work contains a collection of texts written at the time when Chivalry was a living tradition spread across the whole of Europe. In it are fascinating accounts of Chivalry’s history and origins, the education of knights, chivalric love and the religious and military orders of knighthood. Nowhere else are the facts of Chivalry brough together so brilliantly.

In From Class to Race, Charles Mills maps the theoretical route that brought him to the innovative conceptual framework outlined in his academic bestseller The Racial Contract (1997). Mills argues for a new critical theory that develops the insights of the black radical political tradition. While challenging conventional interpretations of key Marxist concepts and claims, the author contends that Marxism has been "white" insofar as it has failed to recognize the centrality of race and white supremacy to the making of the modern world. By appealing to both mainstream liberal values and the structuralism traditionally associated with the left, Mills asserts that critical race theory can radicalize the mainstream Enlightenment and develop a new kind of contractarianism that deals frontally with race and other forms of social oppression rather than evading them.

The Racial Contract puts classic Western social contract theory, deadpan, to extraordinary radical use. With a sweeping look at the European expansionism and racism of the last five hundred years, Charles W. Mills demonstrates how this peculiar and unacknowledged "contract" has shaped a system of global European domination: how it brings into existence "whites" and "non-whites," full persons and sub-persons, how it influences white moral theory and moral psychology; and how this system is imposed on non-whites through ideological conditioning and violence. The Racial Contract argues that the society we live in is a continuing white supremacist state. Holding up a mirror to mainstream philosophy, this provocative book explains the evolving outline of the racial contract from the time of the New World conquest and subsequent colonialism to the written slavery contract, to the "separate but equal" system of segregation in the twentieth-century United States. According to Mills, the contract has provided the theoretical architecture justifying an entire history of European atrocity against non-whites, from David Hume''s and Immanuel Kant''s claims that blacks had inferior cognitive power, to the Holocaust, to the kind of imperialism in Asia that was demonstrated by the Vietnam War. Mills suggests that the ghettoization of philosophical work on race is no accident. This work challenges the assumption that mainstream theory is itself raceless. Just as feminist theory has revealed orthodox political philosophy''s invisible white male bias, Mills''s explication of the racial contract exposes its racial underpinnings.
