Book Description
What Were You Thinking? . . . . . . Eve, as you tasted the forbidden fruit? . . . Sapphira, as you lied about the money? . . . Mrs. Lot, as you glanced back at Sodom? . . . Hannah, as you left Samuel with Eli? . . . Martha, as you tattled on Mary? What were these women thinking? You might be surprised to learn that these Bible-time women may have had thoughts that would be hard to distinguish from those of modern-day women. In these pages you will meet thirteen Bible-time women through a casual visit in a contemporary, small-group setting. Interviews with these women bring their previously black-and-white lives into vivid, living color as you get to know them more personally and begin to feel their heartstrings tug a familiar pull on your own. Discussion Questions and Leader's Guide included! Cheryl Elliott lives in Seymour, just southeast of Knoxville, Tennessee, where she worships and serves in the Woodlawn Christian Church as a women's Sunday school teacher and women's ministry team leader. Widowed in 2008, Cheryl is the mother of two sons and one daughter-all young adults who live nearby-and is the grandmother of a two-year-old granddaughter whom she enjoys spoiling.

Book Description
From the host of the YouTube channel that went viral—Dad, How Do I?—comes a book that’s part memoir/part inspiration/part DIY. Rob Kenney’s father left him and his seven siblings when he was fourteen years old, and the youngest had to fend for themselves. He wished that he had someone who could teach him the basics—how to tie a tie, jump-start a car, unclog a drain, use tools properly—as well as succeed in life. But he and his siblings had to figure these things out on their own. Now a father himself, Rob decided that he would help people out by providing how-to tips as well as advice—and even throw in some bad dad jokes. He started a YouTube channel for anyone looking for fatherly advice, and in the course of three months, gained a following of nearly 2.5 million subscribers, with millions of views for his how-to and inspirational videos. In this book, Rob shares his story of overcoming a difficult childhood with the strength of faith and family, and offers inspiration and hope. In addition, he provides 50 practical DYI instructions (30 of which will be unique to the book), illustrated with helpful line drawings.

Trish had dreams once: dreams of graduating high school, getting into ballet school, and becoming a renowned dancer, with her parents and big brother cheering her on all the while. But those dreams died with her brother. Ever since Josh’s fatal car accident, Trish has been a shell of her former self, and her family has struggled to keep it together. Now, her father hides in his work and her mother drinks her tears away. While Trish silently blames herself for Josh’s death, both of her parents struggle with their own guilt. Neither one can look beyond their own sorrow to see how deeply Trish is hurting and needs help too. So, Trish must find a way to survive the storms of grief on her own. She learns to hide, learns to numb, and learns to bury her joy to ease her pain. But self-destruction is a desperate crutch, not a cure, and Trish knows it. As she navigates her family’s disfunction, her best friend’s own crises, and the treacherous waters of teenage romance, she must find a way to power through and dig deep—to find the strength she needs to heal before it’s too late and her family fully tears itself apart.

Book Description
From the author of the Gemma Doyle trilogy and The Diviners series, this groundbreaking New York Times bestseller and winner of the Michael L. Printz Award for literary excellence is "smart, funny, and layered," raves Entertainment Weekly. All 16-year-old Cameron wants is to get through high school—and life in general—with a minimum of effort. It’s not a lot to ask. But that’s before he’s given some bad news: he’s sick and he’s going to die. Which totally sucks. Hope arrives in the winged form of Dulcie, a loopy punk angel/possible hallucination with a bad sugar habit. She tells Cam there is a cure—if he’s willing to go in search of it. With the help of a death-obsessed, video-gaming dwarf and a yard gnome, Cam sets off on the mother of all road trips through a twisted America . . . into the heart of what matters most. From acclaimed author Libba Bray comes a dark comedic journey that poses the questions: Why are we here? What is real? What makes microwave popcorn so good? Why must we die? And how do we really learn to live? "A hilarious and hallucinatory quest."—The New York Times "Sublimely surreal."—People "Libba Bray's fabulous new book will, with any justice, be a cult classic. The kind of book you take with you to college, in the hopes that your roommate will turn out to have packed their own copy, too. Reading it is like discovering an alternate version of The Phantom Tollbooth, where Holden Caulfield has hit Milo over the head and stolen his car, his token, and his tollbooth. There's adventure and tragedy here, a sprinkling of romance, musical interludes, a battle-ready yard gnome who's also a Norse God, and practically a chorus line of physicists. Which reminds me: will someone, someday, take Going Bovine and turn it into a musical, preferably a rock opera? I want the sound track, the program, the T-shirt, and front row tickets."—Kelly Link, author of Get in Trouble, finalist for the Pulitzer Prize

Book Description
In April of 1968 Steve McQueen arrives in San Francisco to film Bullitt. Rough-and-tumble SFPD Inspector Johnny O’Rorke, aka The Fixer, is the department’s Executive Protection Officer. His job is to make sure that visiting celebrities are well taken care of. O’Rorke is instructed to take special care of McQueen; the city’s movers and shakers are hoping to develop San Francisco into Hollywood North. McQueen takes a liking to O’Rorke, and when Russ Cortig, a member of his film crew, is busted at a wild Haight Ashbury party, he asks O’Rorke to try to have the charge dismissed. Fixing Cortig’s arrest sheet is a minor problem, but it leads O’Rorke into a tangled web of intrigue and corruption that includes the murder of one of his longtime informers, a crossdresser who goes by the name of Vanessa the Undresser, tangling with a Chinatown drug lord, being shot at by a sadistic Soviet hit man, going up against a wealthy former Russian Mafia leader now living in San Francisco, dealing with a vicious local gangster, Alec Zek, aka The Swine, and a chasing after a priceless blue diamond known as the Stalin Blue. If that isn’t complicated enough, O’Rorke breaks into a real sweat when McQueen asks him to make a screen test for a part in Bullitt. Praise for SCREEN TEST: “Steve McQueen. Bullitt. Transvestites.
