Davin is good at math and science, inconsequential to his military family, where his older brother will soon become commander of the Army of the Republic. His father once conquered the southern land—and now his youngest son has flunked out of Academy, a complete failure as a cadet. But something else is going on in Davin’s life. Why does he sometimes have visions and dreams of terrible events, war, and strange, exotic and deadly creatures? After returning home, a Hellport opens nearby, spilling out monsters that kill and maim—and he had a premonition of the event! He is tested for a Gift, the ability to control God’s own Power, and the result is terrifying. He begins a quest to find answers to his many questions. Before he finds them, he will face more Hellport monsters, overcome an army, and find a new home among mountain tribes who will help him discover his destiny.

The theme of the elegiac sonnets, satirical epigrams, and formal lyrics of ThePortals of Sheol can be best summarized by the Psalmist: "As for man, his days are like grass." With wit and wisdom, Bryce Christensen punctures human pretentionsand vanity, whether of arrogant scientists or hedonistic consumers, reminding us in poems like "Ultimate Grammar" that "our is, our are, our am-all melt away / To was and were, the markers of a grave," and that such darkness can yet bevanquished by "the Easter dawn." ~ Paul Lake, Editor of First Things and winner of the Porter Fund Award for Literary Excellence for Another Kind of Travel (University of Chicago Press).

The holding of prisoners of war has always been both a political and a military enterprise, yet the military prisons of the Civil War, which held more than four hundred thousand soldiers and caused the deaths of fifty-six thousand men, have been nearly forgotten. Now Lonnie R. Speer has brought to life the least-known men in the great struggle between the Union and the Confederacy, using their own words and observations as they endured a true ?hell on earth.? Drawing on scores of previously unpublished firsthand accounts, Portals to Hell presents the prisoners? experiences in great detail and from an impartial perspective. The first comprehensive study of all major prisons of both the North and the South, this chronicle analyzes the many complexities of the relationships among prisoners, guards, commandants, and government leaders.
