The world of the Bible is quite different from our own. According to Thomas Renquist, it's a topsy-turvy world where guests become hosts, where masters are turned into servants, where hoarders are transformed into givers, where peace-making is experienced as piece-making. And, says Renquist, the biblical world changes us because we begin to look at our own world in a different way ... seeing things from God's point of view. Thomas A. Renquist is a graduate of the University of Iowa (B.A.) and Yale University (M.Div.). He is currently pastor of Lord of the Hills Lutheran Church (ELCA) in Aurora, Colorado. The author of What Grace They Received(CSS), Renquist is one of 60 pastor/theologians selected by the Center of Theological Inquiry in Princeton, New Jersey, for three years of study and conversation concerning the church's current theological crisis.

Essential for students of theatre studies, Methuen Drama's Decades of Modern British Playwriting series provides a comprehensive survey and study of the theatre produced in each decade from the 1950s to 2009 in six volumes. Each volume features a critical analysis and reevaluation of the work of four/five key playwrights from that decade authored by a team of experts, together with an extensive commentary on the period . Edited by Dan Rebellato, Modern British Playwriting: 2000-2009 provides an authoritative and stimulating reassessment of the theatre of the decade, together with a detailed study of the work of David Greig (Nadine Holdsworth), Simon Stephens (Jacqueline Bolton), Tim Crouch (Dan Rebellato), Roy Williams (Michael Pearce) and Debbie Tucker Green (Lynette Goddard). The volume sets the context by providing a chronological survey of the decade, one marked by the War on Terror, the excesses of economic globalization and the digital revolution. In surveying the theatrical activity and climate, Andrew Haydon explores the response to the political events, the rise of verbatim theatre, the increasing experimentation and the effect of both the Boyden Report and changes in the Arts Council's priorities. Five scholars provide detailed examinations of the playwrights' work during the decade, combining an analysis of their plays with a study of other material such as early play drafts and the critical receptions of the time. Interviews with each playwright further illuminate this stimulating final volume in the Decades of Modern British Playwriting series.

This book is about two devastating events that happened in my life in 2005. The first one was the loss of my youngest son. He left this life in a trucking accident. Most of his twenty-four years, he wanted to be a tractor trailer driver. Driving the big rig was all he wanted to do since he could walk and talk. The second one is about the home we lost two months after the passing of Anthony. Hurricane Katrina came through the Gulf Coast and destroyed our home and everything we owned. We experienced life on the street for the next week. It is an ordeal that I never want to experience again. When I left New Orleans the only thing I had left was my purse and the clothes on my back. We lost everything. I have recovered from most of the material things I lost. I was able to purchase them again. I have accepted the fact that God doesn't make mistakes and he knows what's best, but I have not totally recovered from the loss of my son. There are days that I'm totally fine. Then there are days that I feel the pain of the loss. My good days do outweigh my sad days, so I don't complain. It is God who has blessed me and brought me through and I'm grateful.

How far would you go to protect the ones you love? Sky Griffin's mother is missing. Vanished in what seems like a second. Could she have just wandered off? Or is her disappearance more than meets the eye? Sky is convinced that whatever happened was not an accident, and in fact may hold more secrets than anyone expects. Thus begins her frantic search for answers, for the truth behind her mother's whereabouts. But the chase to find her turns out to be complex in ways Sky could never have imagined, even in her former days in the police force. Extreme measures are taken to find her mother, as Sky goes undercover, disguising her identity in order to find out what might have happened. In the process, she's forced to leave behind the love of her life and her young son, a feat difficult enough in itself. Sky's torrid investigation becomes a mess of emotions, as she struggles to cope with her distance from her family and the fact that she may never see her mother again. Her expedition is complicated further by her encounter with a beautiful woman named Meg. Will Sky leave her old life behind and remain here with Meg, forever searching for her mother? Or will she solve the mystery and return to her loved ones? Author Tammy Snow takes us on a thrilling journey full of twist and turns, passion and deceit, and everything in between through the stunning conclusion. Tammy Snow has been an avid reader since winning her first "bookworm" contest in the first grade. "Grey Sky" is her first novel.

An updated edition of a standard in its field that remains relevant more than thirty years after its original publication. Over thirty years ago, sociologist and University of California, Berkeley professor Arlie Hochschild set off a tidal wave of conversation and controversy with her bestselling book, The Second Shift. Hochschild's examination of life in dual-career housholds finds that, factoring in paid work, child care, and housework, working mothers put in one month of labor more than their spouses do every year. Updated for a workforce that is now half female, this edition cites a range of updated studies and statistics, with an afterword from Hochschild that addresses how far working mothers have come since the book's first publication, and how much farther we all still must go.

The Germanic language family ranges from national languages with standardized varieties, including German, Dutch and Danish, to minority languages with relatively few speakers, such as Frisian, Yiddish and Pennsylvania German. Written by internationally renowned experts of Germanic linguistics, this Handbook provides a detailed overview and analysis of the structure of modern Germanic languages and dialects. Organized thematically, it addresses key topics in the phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics of standard and nonstandard varieties of Germanic languages from a comparative perspective. It also includes chapters on second language acquisition, heritage and minority languages, pidgins, and urban vernaculars. The first comprehensive survey of this vast topic, the Handbook is a vital resource for students and researchers investigating the Germanic family of languages and dialects.
