In the small rural town of Qonda, South Africa, the power and water supplies are unreliable, property prices are down, and citizens are slowly suffocating in the acrid smoke from the municipal dump. Recently retired English teacher Megan Merton has lived here all her life, most of it at No. 8 Serpent Crescent.

If today your life seems adrift, and your direction in life often appears uncertain, then simply go back to some of the basic rules of life. Get out of the way and follow the leader. That leader being Jesus Christ, of course. It will be the greatest decision you have ever made. When life becomes busy or chaotic, we often forget how good life can be if we just take time to reflect on the people, the places, the circumstances, our treasured memories, and all the other little things that make life grand. In a collection of varied writings, Jerry Waddell leans on his faith to inspire others to look back at the roads traveled and ponder all the people who have enriched their lives. While offering encouragement to give thanks for countless blessings and view the future with a positive outlook, Waddell shares personal stories, scripture, nuggets of wisdom, and life lessons that enhance spiritual well-being and provide comfort that God is always with us. Just Tryin’ to Be a Blessing shares entertaining stories, scripture, and other insights from a man of faith with a passion for lifting the hearts and spirits of believers.

Deconstructing the High Line is the first book to analyze the High Line from multiple perspectives, critically ass...
Montauban was the southernmost of the Somme villages attacked by the British Army on 1 July, 1916, and it was where there was the greatest success.
