As a professional football player, I had a playbook for everything on the field. Then I retired and found out there's no playbook for life-especially when the one you thought was perfect gets flipped upside down. There's no play for suddenly becoming a divorced, single dad. There's no plan for moving your family back to the town you grew up in. And there is definitely not a play for falling in love with the nanny. I didn't mean to. Betsy Sulli...

In THE WAY IT WENT, novelist Ben Schwartz weaves a beautifully elegiac history of a midwestern farm family from the 1930s to the present. Acknowledging that family histories are as much fiction as fact, the novel offers different voices and versions, mainly three erudite, articulate women, schoolteachers all. The chief character, Elspeth, begins the history: her childhood in Missouri, her years in college. And then, after World War II, meeting...

In Genesis 46, Jacob calls God his shepherd as he blesses Joseph's sons Manasseh and Ephraim. In the beloved Psalm 23, David sings about what it means that the Lord is his shepherd.

In 1 Peter 5, He is the Chief Shepherd. This is only a sample of places in the Bible w...

It quickly became a best-seller in post-Revolution America, spurring a revival in Deism as an alternative to the prevailing Christian influence. In clear, simple, and often funny language, Paine attempts to dissect the Bible¿s supposed inaccuracies and hypocrisies. He...

The Lost Continent, initially published as a serial in 1899, remains one of the enduring classics of the ¿lost race¿ genre. In it we follow Deucalion, a warrior-priest on the lost continent of Atlantis, as he tries to battle the influence of an egotistical upstart empress. Featuring magic, intrigue, mythical monsters, and fearsome combat on both land and sea, the story is nothing if not a swashbuckling adventure. The Lost Continent was very in...

This book is a work of fiction, although the events depicted in this book are far from fictitious. The difficulties women face in police work and the workplace, in general, are not fictitious, and taking a person's life is not fictitious.
