From the Blue Mountains to the Nittany Mountains
Upon returning home two years after leaving, 20-year-old Victor McLeod's life is shattered. He is allowed to think that all is well with love--a conspiracy orchestrated by a close family member. Traveling by car from the airport with his soul, mind, and body tingling with joyous excitement, he sits next to his love. But, arriving home, he is met with a mind-numbing question. He returns to New York City to focus solely on his studies. Two years later, in the Nittany Mountains, attending graduate school, love--like the Nittany lion--ambushes the unwary Victor, who waxes poetically: Forever never to yield, the banners of my heart to wield, I am in love, and love conquers all. But on a beautiful spring day after uttering this refrain, he suddenly finds himself under the Nittany Mountains.
The Book of Ruth
The decision to take on this study of Ruth bat Avraham (daughter of Abraham) came about subsequent to a celebration of the feast of Shavuot several years ago in the home of a member of a Hebrew messianic congregation. In keeping with tradition, the book of Ruth was read with simultaneous discussion on the work and was followed by additional discussion. Listening to the comments from the attendees: their assertions, points and other input, I decided to conduct a deeper study of the work. And, after months of reading/re-reading Ruth, prayer, researching, more prayer and listening, I determined to write this study. It is also written with the hope and intent of causing the reader to ponder or reflect on their relationship and their walk with El Elyon (The Lord Most High) and Yahusha HaMashiach. Concomitantly, it is written to give the reader an opportunity to muse on who those people in this book and in the age and time of Ruth, Naomi, Orpah, Boaz, actually were: ethnically, racially.
Love's Trail
The title of this volume of poetry tries to capture the journey along which love transports us as we traverse the highway of life. The mile markers are recorded with joy unspeakable, un-utterable; mountains of euphoric and electrifying feelings; little rest areas of sadness; portions of the way overcast with clouds filled with angst and rejection; landscapes paved with wonder; occasional pot holes of anger and disappointment. But, always, even when our eyes are clouded with tears of sadness or cheeks glistening with joy so expansive, He is there. This work is an attempt to present a small portrait of the amazing reality and love of and appreciation for Adonai. At every beat of my heart, He is my inspiration. At every thought, He waits to see our choices.
A View from the Pew - Volume 1 Sha'ul's Epistle to the Galatian Congregations
Is there anything more to be said about Sha'ul and specifically about his letter to the Galatians? Does it represent a break with and an abandonment of the Hebrew way - i.e., of Torah? Book description: Taking a layman's look, from a Hebrew Messianic perspective, at the epistle written by a Hebrew of Hebrews, a founding member of the Messianic sect and a practitioner of the Hebrew way. Did this Hebrew cease being Hebrew? Did he start a new religion? Did he reject the laws, covenants, charges? Does his epistle to the Galatians - his very first letter - promulgate a rejection of the Hebrew way? About what is this somewhat brief letter (epistle)? Let us take another look at the Epistle to the Galatians - a Hebrew sect. Sales pitch: Sometimes, a gem is hidden under man-made teachings that are inherited and commonly accepted beliefs put forward as truths. Let us for a moment revisit Sha'ul's letter sitting in the pew.

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
'Muriel Spark's most celebrated novel . . . This ruthlessly and destructively romantic school ma'am is one of the giants of post-war fiction' Independent 'A brilliantly psychological fugue' Observer The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie is Muriel Spark's most significant and celebrated novel, and remains as dazzling as when it was first published in 1961. Miss Jean Brodie is a teacher unlike any other, proud and cultured, enigmatic and freethinking; a romantic, with progressive, sometimes shocking ideas and aspirations for the girls in her charge. At the Marcia Blaine Academy she takes a select group of girls under her wing. Spellbound by Miss Brodie's unconventional teaching, these devoted pupils form the Brodie set. But as the girls enter their teenage years and they become increasingly drawn in by Miss Brodie's personal life, her ambitions for them take a startling and dark turn with devastating consequences.

Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
