Ruth & Esther
Tragedy and triumph - the books of Ruth and Esther tell the stories of two women who achieve success against all odds. One woman overcomes a personal tragedy, the other a nationwide crisis. The roads they take to succeed, however, are quite different. This fascinating study provides a practical commentary on the lives of two women as it shows readers the providential care of the unseen God for his people - not only in past history, but in our day as well. Even seemingly out-of-control crises are under his watchful care. Teachers of Bible study groups as well as pastors will find this volume a rich source of insight into the text and a real inspiration for living.
A Strange and Bitter Fruit
"A chilly night in rural South Carolina at the tail end of Reconstruction, the murder of innocents. This is the setting for the initial chapter of the historical thriller, A Strage and Bitter Fruit. Thomas "Tee" Powell, 15, manages to escape as his family is lynched ... He is angry, but instead of wildly lashing out at the Klansmen that murdered his family, he runs away ... Tee joins the Army ... He grows up and begins to accept responsibility for his life and for the lives of others. After six years, the past, in the form of two of the Klansmen ... confronts him. He had buried his past deep, even changing his last name ... but revenge has its own cost, and Tee will suffer that price"--Back cover.
Race Man
Race. A four letter word unlike any other. A live wire, the third rail, the thing your momma told you to be afraid of, the creature that goes bump in the night. This ambitious, hard-hitting anthology takes on race relations in America, past and present. It holds back nothing and no race is spared its fire. These tales – at times poignant, thought-provoking, violent, heart-breaking and humorous – touch the soul of America, a soul wounded from the constant struggle across the racial divide. Barry C. Davis has created a literary mirror and invites you to see yourself. Are you brave enough to do so? Will you like what you see?

The Fictions of American Capitalism
The Fictions of American Capitalism: Working Fictions and the Economic Novel introduces a new way of thinking about fiction in connection with capitalism, especially American capitalism. These essays demonstrate how fiction fulfills a major function of the American capitalist engine, presenting various formulations of American capitalism from the perspective of economists, social scientists, and literary critics. Focusing on three narratives—fictitious capital, working fictions, and the economic novel—the volume questions whether these three types of fiction can be linked under the sign of capitalism. This collection seeks to illustrate the American economy’s dependence on fictitiousness, America’s ideological fictions, and the nation’s creative literary fiction. In relation to what the credit and banking crisis of 2007–2008 exposed about the “unreal” base of the economy, the volume concludes with a call to recognize the economic humanities, arguing that American fiction and American literary studies can provide a useful mirror for economists.
