Not every girl
Not every girl is a modern pioneer raised in the backwoods. Katy King writes eloquently of her life growing up, poor in material wealth, but rich in experience and humor. Her childhood was one that most kids can only dream of. But a life-changing experience at twelve left her an older and wiser young woman. Katy had to grow up in an instant, to become someone capable of making a life-and-death decision. Her carefree childhood is gone forever, but its magic lives on in this inspiring story. Sharing in her wisdom and life perspective is a joy. In the tradition of Ralph Moody's Little Britches, Katy King spins an episodic tale which will give you many chuckles and bring an occasional tear to your eye.

A Feminist in the White House
Midge Costanza was one of the unlikeliest of White House insiders. But for a time during the seventies, this "loud-mouthed, pushy little broad" with no college education was a prominent focal point of the American culture wars. In this book, Doreen J. Mattingly draws on Costanza's life to tell a wider, but heretofore neglected, story of the hopeful yet fraught era of gender politics in late 70s Washington - a history that is not just important to US women's and presidential history but which continues to resonate in politics today.

Darwin Was Right
Beautiful and brilliant FBI Supervisory Agent Emmanuelle Blanchet, known as Emmie to friends and family, was embroiled in the most difficult and challenging case of her life. She and her dedicated team were rushing against time to find and stop a serial killer before he found his next victim. Making the task even more daunting, evidence was piling up suggesting that these murders were somehow related to a cold case that her father had been involved in, and solved, 30 years ago. When one of the victim’s mutilated body is found in the Shenandoah National Park, Emmie encounters National Park Ranger Chief Joel McNeil. The attraction was mutual and intense. But could she risk getting involved in a romance during an investigation? With her focus being primarily on her career, personal relationships were always put on hold. Would she be able to resist her powerful feelings? As Joel and her team work closely with her against time to find the killer, it becomes clear that she herself may be a target. Will they be able to find the killer before it is too late? Or will it be, as Darwin suggested, the survival of the fittest?
Becoming Gertrude
Becoming Gertrude is one woman’s wisdom on the beauty of spiritual friendship and God’s unfolding grace over the course of a life lived for Him. Jan uses the term spiritual friendship to capture this idea of journeying with others through life, sharing experiences and wisdom and seeking God together. In Becoming Gertrude, Jan wants to be your spiritual friend, sharing what she’s learned and painting a picture of what you might uncover as you seek to develop these kinds of relationships in your own life. Join Jan in exploring the critical pieces of spiritual friendship: hospitality, encouragement, acceptance, serving, and caring. With seasoned wisdom and winsome stories, Jan uses personal experiences to walk you through what each of these things can mean in your life. You can have rich, rewarding, faith-filled friendships that emerge from the everyday rhythms of your days—and Becoming Gertrude will lead you on that journey.
Large-Scale Scientific Computing

The Collar
Combining thematic analysis and stimulating close readings, The Collar is a wide-ranging study of the many ways--heroic or comic, shrewd or dastardly--Christian ministers have been represented in literature and film. Since all Christians are expected to be involved in ministry of some type, the assumptions of secular culture about ministers affect more than just clergy. Ranging across several nations (particularly the U. S., Britain, and Canada), denominations, and centuries, The Collar aims to encourage creative and faithful responses to the challenges of Christian leadership and to provoke awareness of the times when leadership expectations become too extreme. Using the framework of novels, plays, TV, and movies to make inquiries about pastoral passion, frustration, and fallibility, Sue Sorensen's well-informed, sprightly, and perceptive book will be helpful to pastors, parishioners, those interested in practical theology, and anyone who enjoys evocative literature and film.
