In Times Like These

Nellie McClung's fourth book, In Times Like These, written in 1915, survives as a classic formulation of a feminist position. With hard-hitting rhetoric it demands women's rights as a logical extension of traditional views of female moral superiority and maternal responsibility.

A quietly astonishing collection of personal essays from one of New Zealand's most exciting new voices. 'Michelle Langstone writes as she performs-with wit, humanity and a fierce vulnerability, holding on tight.' - Diana Wichtel 'These essays about love, loss, and memories of night voyages with her dad glow from within, like phosphorescence on the sea. Just what we need in times like these.' - Diana Wichtel 'Evocative, lyrical, surprising, Times Like These is built from a heart that bursts out of every page.' - Toby Manhire Childhood, family, and death; anxiety and release; grief and the hope of new life: these are some of the themes that underpin Michelle Langstone's debut collection. Michelle is interested in the way the concept of identity is shaken during a major event, and in the feeling world at its most raw and intimate. These essays speak to one another across a timeline, examining her world before the death of her father, and life after his passing, when she recalibrates the shape of a universe without him. Essays on acting, fertility and IVF, and intergenerational love round out a collection that is full of candour and humour. Tender, poignant and moving, these intimate essays are perfectly formed and offer a shimmering portrait of the human condition.

We are living in a time of unrest, beginning in our own country and continuing throughout the world. There is discontentment on every hand. Politically, spiritually, financially, medically, and environmentally we have issues. 'How do we deal with life in these tumultuous times?' you may ask. Dealing with lifein times like theseis found in a person. His name is Jesus. By having a personal relationship with him, we can find the comfort and peace that we seek.- Patsy Cellier 'These reflections beautifully reveal the truths of God's Holy Word and show evidence of their application in everyday life.' - Reverend Mac Shaw, Former Pastor, and President, Teen Choices, Incorporated 'When Patsy came to pray for my son, Mark, she spoke of the love of God and prayed for him so powerfully that he asked, 'Is she for real?' I replied, 'She is indeed!''- Tom Stewart, Founder, Mission to Internationals, Inc. '...parable-like writings...earthly experience matched with a heavenly meaning...'- Sue Davis, former missionary 'I use something from Patsy's book every day.'- Doris Tatum, Bible Study Fellowship Leader, retired

No one would have ever imagined that the COVID-19 pandemic and the results of it would have continued as long as it has. What was once thought to be just a brief interruption to our normal way of life continued on through the summer of 2020 and well into 2021. On top of all the chaos of stay-at-home orders, mask wearing, and no large gatherings, we entered into a time of conflict with riots, no law and order in some cities, and violence that led to death at what was to be a peaceful protest. Then after the fallout of an unprecedented election, culminating in the Capitol riots, for the first time, many Americans felt like this was becoming the new normal. In this book, In Times Like These, I addressed these issues with our church from a biblical perspective through daily Facebook posts. It was a means of keeping our congregation patient, focused, and prayerful during these times. Not only were these writings timely for present crises but they are also timely for any other future crises that our nation may be confronted with and for personal crises as well.

We live in interesting times. In our times we know many facts but lack faith. We know so much about medicine but enjoy little health. We ask many questions but receive few answers. Living in a broken world, in times where wrong is considered right and right is considered wrong, we question the reality of the existence of God. Yet wherever we look, we see battered, scarred, bruised, maimed, and broken people crying for Him. God is always present. He is never caught off guard or taken by surprise. The problems and heartaches we face are a result of sin. The solution to sin is Jesus Christ the Creator, Savior, Sustainer, and Answer to all our questionings. By accepting Him, beholding His love and mercy, and studying His Word, our lives are transformed into His likeness. We become new creations. Jesus left the splendor of heaven to come and die for us on a cruel cross at Calvary for the sins He did not commit. He would have come and died for us if we were the only sinner in the whole universe. In Times Like These is about Jesus and His love for lost humanity. In times like these, we need Him every nanosecond of the day and night. He is coming back soon to take His children home. A home where there is no pain, cancer, disease, tears of sorrow, or disappointment. Will you go with Him to Paradise? Now is the time to get ready.
