Oak Cliff and the Missing Pieces is the first book written about the area's history in over three decades. It not only captures the beginnings of the early settlement, it takes the reader beyond a century and a half of growth and tracks how the community has evolved. The book is unique in that it captures the history of West Dallas in conjunction with its Oak Cliff neighbor and how the two transformed together over time into what we see today. The collection of historical accounts and hundreds of photos identify individuals and places of prominence finally memorialized in one anthology. The narrative also takes readers through facts and stories that have been ignored or concealed, revealing an authentic depiction of how the community was, at times, abused and neglected. Readers will enjoy this introspective examination of the area south and west of the Trinity and will once and for all put together the missing pieces of the storied land that has long been misunderstood. All proceeds from the sale of Oak Cliff and the Missing Pieces will go to benefit non-profit organizations in Oak Cliff and West Dallas.

The book is the testimony of my life where I went through depression after a heartbreak. I was dating someone that I was sure that he was the will of God in my life. He first expressed his love for me, and after I expressed my love for him because, for the first time in my life, I found someone that my heart beats for. When I asked him to tell our parents about our relationship, he asked me to give him time. We were always together, and one night we went to the gym, and he gave me the news that depressed me.

After separate treatments of the ethical thinking of Aristotle, Cicero, Machiavelli, Rousseau, Kant, Nietzsche, and others, the final third of the essays discuss such issues as the failure of ethics in American government, ethical considerations of information technology, and the paradox of trying to establish societal notions of right and wrong on individual judgements of ethics.

In an age of e-books and screens, it may seem antiquated to create a handwritten, illuminated Bible. The Benedictine monks at Saint John's Abbey and University, however, determined to produce such a Bible for the twenty-first century, a Bible that would use traditional methods and materials while engaging contemporary questions and concerns. In an age that largely overlooks the physical form of books, The Saint John's Bible foregrounds the importance of a book's tactile and visual qualities. This collection considers how The Saint John's Bible fits within the history of the Bible as a book, and how its haptic qualities may be particularly important in a digital age.
