Evidence of Love
The “fascinating” true story behind the HBO Max and Hulu series about Texas housewife Candy Montgomery and the bizarre murder that shocked a community (Los Angeles Times Book Review). Candy Montgomery and Betty Gore had a lot in common: They sang together in the Methodist church choir, their daughters were best friends, and their husbands had good jobs working for technology companies in the north Dallas suburbs known as Silicon Prairie. But beneath the placid surface of their seemingly perfect lives, both women simmered with unspoken frustrations and unanswered desires. On a hot summer day in 1980, the secret passions and jealousies that linked Candy and Betty exploded into murderous ra...
Alcoholism
Teens receive hundreds of mixed messages about things, especially about alcohol. There is a fine line between the celebration and presence of alcohol to earmark a special occasion and the danger of reliance on alcohol to experience life, whether it's up or down. The messages can be confusing and important self-preserving opinions can remain ambivalent. This book addresses the mixed message and controversies of alcohol and alcoholism. Readers will evaluate the dangers of binge drinking, and the appropriate legal drinking age. Also discussed are the existence of a genetic predisposition or a natural tolerance among alcoholics, and the effectiveness of Alcoholics Anonymous in treating alcoholism. Essays and personal accounts provide an array of viewpoints, which allows readers to think critically about what they are learning, and how what they think fits into each debate. Stellar essay sources include the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Surgeon General, National Institutes of Health, and the Saint Jude Retreat House.

Reflections on My Life
Thomas H. Olbricht grew up in Churches of Christ, has taught in several of their universities, and has given religious lectures on six continents and in most states in the United States. He has met most leaders in Churches of Christ globally. He has been active in several religious and rhetoric societies and has worked with leaders in all these organizations to bring about changes over the past sixty years. C. Clifton Black and Duane F. Watson wrote about Olbricht, "Tom Olbricht possesses a memory of elephantine proportions. Not only does he have at his fingertips the names and places and dates; better than most he understands how the study of rhetoric has flourished among, while cross-pollinating, multiple disciplines in the humanities, classics, English, speech communication, and religion."
Surviving Stupid
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, and as kids we thought we were invulnerable, unbeatable, immortal. We did so many crazy and dangerous things that could have—should have—killed us, all in the name of entertainment. Somehow, we survived. Surviving Stupid strings together a series of short stories and anecdotes about all the stupid stuff we got up to back in the days when we were thrown out of the house and told not to come back before dinner! We were all kinds of stupid as kids—it’s just the way of nature. By making mistakes, we learn, and the more painful the mistake, the more the lesson sticks. A memoir of his childhood messing around in rural Manitoba in the ’70s and ’80s, author Mark Parsons will regale you with sticky situations that will inevitably remind you of all the shenanigans you got up to when you were young. Laugh-out-loud funny and full of wisdom thanks to 20/20 hindsight, Surviving Stupid will bring a smile to your face and guffaw to your lips as you shake your head at the folly of youth.

Serving up God
Serving Up God was born out of a revelation that God was indeed doing powerful ministry right in the middle of the everyday hustle and bustle of my humble workplace. The realization that others struggled to accept the validity of Gods work in their secular work lives proved the necessity of a story-style documentation of that work. The simple concept of Gods desire to use every part of our livesnot just on Sundaysis laid out in a series of compelling stories and personal moments. Each relatable story reinforces this revolutionary yet Biblical idea that we are called to do Gods work in every place. What if we stop compartmentalizing our lives into secular and spiritual and just let God show up wherever he chose? What if Jesuss command to go into the world and preach the gospel includes the place we spend most of our week? Its a pretty safe bet that God intends us to live out the teachings of the New Testament in our workplaces and neighborhoods.
