Foi em julho de 2019. Há cinco anos atrás saia o terceiro e idealizado-para-ser o último número de Amplitude. E da terceira para a segunda edição, o lapso fora já de três anos. Como um editor pode explicar uma periodicidade assim? Me ajude, amigo leitor! Cara de pau por cara de pau, deixe-me replicar um trecho de minhas desculpas pelo enorme hiato entre a segunda e a terceira edições, citando a mim mesmo: Neste tempo, pude dedicar-me, além dos compromissos acadêmicos, à edição de diversos livros e recursos em serviço da igreja e da Literatura, e à manutenção religiosa dos blogs de serviço. Sim, nestes anos todos não cessamos de produzir livros e recursos, tanto enquanto ...
Jennifer sai para fazer um piquenique com seus amigos, e não amigos, perto de uma cachoeira fora da cidade. Mas os planos não saem como o esperado. Eles são atacados por uma fera que os encurrala dentro de uma gruta. A coisa fica feia, e o resultado: ela acorda dentro de um bote salva-vidas, cheio de pessoas desconhecidas, dentro de um castelo quase submerso, com um ferimento grave nas costas e uma dor no peito pela perda de um amigo. Com dificuldade, ela e os demais saem daquele lugar sem sentido, abrindo as portas para um mundo desconhecido. Céu azul, pomares, riacho, montanhas ao longe... um lugar perfeito tirando o fato de estarem isolados de tudo e de todos, sem ao menos saber como ...
Loving our children's children well is an art--one we keep learning as they grow. Making memories and fostering relationships with our grandchildren in the midst of a fast-moving culture isn't easy, and a legacy that lasts isn't crafted overnight.

Grandparents can help little ones learn to value relationships over things, lap time over screen time. They can h...
Have you ever wondered what really goes on at your child’s day-care center after you say good-bye? Harriet Brown did. To satisfy her curiosity, she spent an entire year observing Red Caboose, a center in Madison, Wisconsin. This engaging and thought-provoking book is the story of that year. In her beautifully written personal account, journalist and mother Brown takes us behind the scenes at a day-care center that works. At Red Caboose, one of the oldest independent centers in the country, we meet teachers who have worked with young children for more than twenty years. We watch the child-care union and parents struggle to negotiate a contract without ripping apart the fabric of trust and l...
LYDIA, Tim Sandlin's acclaimed return to his GroVont characters, was called "Uplifting...immensely satisfying" by the New York Times Book Review and a "gem of a novel as audacious as it is sentimental" in a starred Booklist review. Managing the Virgin Birth Home for Unwed Mothers means the women in Sam Callahan's life keep his world interesting. But it's his family members that really take the cake. His daughter may be having a nervous breakdown, and his mother's just out of prison for attempting to poison the president's dog. And when they hit the road with a geriatric, an adoptive son trying to discover his parentage, and an enraged psychopath on their tails, all hell may break loose. And you thought your family was strange... Fifteen years ago, Tim Sandlin concluded his "GroVont" trilogy, a string of books that included a New York Times Notable Book and earned such accolades as "funny and compelling" (LA Times), "zany" (Cosmo), and "dazzling and moving" (New York Times). But some characters call a writer back. Welcome to the ribald, rollicking, and sometimes peculiar world of Tim Sandlin's GroVont, Wyoming, where family is always paramount, no matter how strange.
