Driveway Wars


Book Description

Small towns are funny places. Don't be fooled by their undisturbed beauty, they are not pristine. Give people the opportunity for a perfect utopia, they will destroy it. A town can be spoiled by too many businesses, traffic lights, and, above all, citizens. That is where the rot may not merely exist but thrive. The Thomases have lived in Thornwood, New Hampshire, most of their lives, same as their neighbors. But given the ebb and flow of life, they have seen citizens come and go. Some exit with tears, others with a hard push. One particular neighbor was unnoticed to them for years until the introduction of an unruly dog. The altercations were not only ongoing and worsening but widening. Other neighbors and the police were getting tangled in a feud that Brian and Sharon Thomas thought should never have escalated to such a level. And when it couldn't even get resolved at that level before lawyers and courts got involved, Sharon Thomas took it upon herself to handle it. The way she handled things all her life. Families pitted against one another, out in the woods is not a good combination. Even the Hatfields and McCoys had to start somewhere.

Worship Wars


Book Description

How do you worship? Where do you worship? Do you believe worship should be traditional, solemn, and reverential, or should worship be contemporary, lyrical, and lively? These questions about the proper venue, style, or manner in which we worship seem to never go away in Christianity. But is there a right answer? In Worship Wars, author David Waddell explores this question by going beyond style and taking a more personal view of worship. With both humorous and earnest reflections on his own flaws, faux pas, and failures in worship, Waddell looks to the Bible and to the kings of Israel and Judah, where he reveals an order of worship using the stories of the kings as examples to teach better worship practices. No one is perfect in their worship habits and patterns, but the Bible offers a way for worshippers to have the freedom to worship in spirit and in truth, regardless of the style. Whether our individual acts of worship are traditional, contemporary, or a combination of each, we can all discover a lifestyle of worship in spirit and in truth that will please God and bring us all closer to Jesus.
