The Testament of Ann Lee
She was called Mother Ann. To her followers, she was the voice of God in a woman's body. To her enemies, she was a heretic. To history, she remains an enigma - the woman who claimed to bring heaven to earth through silence, simplicity, and the shaking of the soul. The Testament of Ann Lee: The True Story of the Woman Who Claimed to Speak for God is a haunting, deeply human portrait of the 18th-century visionary who defied the church, the crown, and the conventions of her time.

Protestant Communalism in the Trans-Atlantic World, 1650–1850
This book explores the trans-Atlantic history of Protestant traditions of communalism – communities of shared property. The sixteenth-century Reformation may have destroyed monasticism in northern Europe, but Protestant Christianity has not always denied common property. Between 1650 and 1850, a range of Protestant groups adopted communal goods, frequently after crossing the Atlantic to North America: the Ephrata community, the Shakers, the Harmony Society, the Community of True Inspiration, and others. Early Mormonism also developed with a communal dimension, challenging its surrounding Protestant culture of individualism and the free market. In a series of focussed and survey studies, this book recovers the trans-Atlantic networks and narratives, ideas and influences, which shaped Protestant communalism across two centuries of early modernity.
