The almost 150 books published in the series since its founding in 1984 clearly reflect the main themes and developments of the field.

Jesus tells a story about two homes in Matthew 7: 24-27. The narrative helps everybody to understand the difference between Holiness and sinfulness. In these Scriptures THE LORD shares a word picture to show the dissimilarity amid unrighteous and righteous. The unjust ill advised built upon shifting sand with no thought of digging a foundation. He did not consider his future. An unshakable truth is seasons changes therefore when the gale winds blew his home failed. On the other hand, the man of wisdom dug deep until he hit solid stone hence his base and construction stood under all kinds of inclement weather. Believers who study, pray, and go to worship services are building their life on the unyielding pillars of The Gospel. However, sitting in the wrong Church, and receiving inaccurate teaching is just as indiscreet as faulty architect on sinking landscape. The strong winds of adversity are sure to come and the structure will collapse. Matthew 7: 27. Two builders; the foolish and wise, two results: devastation and strength. Make the Gospel a lifestyle

With several terms from the First World War still present in modern speech, Languages and the First World War presents over 30 essays by international academics investigating the linguistic aspects of the 1914-18 conflict. The first of the two volumes covers language change and documentation during the period of the war, while the second examines the representation and the memory of the war. Communicating in a Transnational War examines languages at the front, including the subject of interpretation, translation and parallels between languages; communication with the home front; propaganda and language manipulation; and recording language during the war. Representation and Memory examines historiographical issues; the nature of representing the war in letters and diaries; the documentation of language change; the language of representing the war in reportage and literature; and the language of remembering the war. Covered in the process are slang, censorship, soldiers' phrasebooks, code-switching, borrowing terms, the problems facing multilingual armies, and gendered language.
