The Voice of Faith in the Valley of Achor: Vol. 2 [of 2], by John Church 58618 [Subtitle: being a series of letters to several friends on religious subjects] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/8/6/1/58618 ] [Files: 58618-0.txt; 58618-h.htm] For those wishing to know: some extra letters that John Church (1780-1833) wrote (some when he was in prison, some later), that he no doubt wanted to publish. Rather than add them to the end of his existing Valley of Achor book and call it a second edition, he decided to bundle them into a volume 2, reprinting the original 1818 edition again and calling that a second edition. All the best, David Overcast and cold England

The Voice of Faith in the Valley of Achor: Vol. 1 [of 2], by John Church 58616 [Subtitle: being a series of letters to several friends on religious subjects] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/8/6/1/58616 ] [Files: 58616-0.txt; 58616-h.htm] For those wishing to know: in 1817 popular preacher John Church (1780-1833) had been sentenced to two years in prison for his sexual assault on 17 year old Adam Foreman. In prison Church largely had his own quarters, lived very well (except he wasn't allowed alcohol, but he tried to smuggle it in), and even had his own library. During this period he wrote these letters to his friends, and the book was published whilst he was in prison in 1818, as Voice of Faith in the Valley of Achor. In 1820 he decided to publish some more letters and reprinted the 1818 edition with no changes (except on the title page to say it was the second edition) and that is the one here. However, since he also published a "Volume II" in 1820 I've added the Vol. 1 [of 2] to the title to make things clear. In the book he uses the biblical name Ruhamah (having obtained mercy?) and the Valley of Achor is again biblical, generally meaning valley of trouble. All the best, David, Cold and damp England
