The Executioner's Redemption
This is the gritty account of one mans journey from executioner to pastor. While working in the Texas penitentiary system, Timothy Carter executed more death-row inmates than anyone else in United States history. This powerful story follows Carters transformation from cold-hearted prison guard to new believer wrestling with church and state authority. A story that readers will not soon forget, it injects a much-needed voice into the discussion of the sword of the state versus the Sword of the Spirit, and how that manifests in the modern Christians understanding of capital punishment.
Monteverdi's Musical Theatre
Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643) is well known as the composer of the earliest operas still performed today. His Orfeo, Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria, and L'incoronazione di Poppea are internationally popular nearly four centuries after their creation. These seminal works represent only a part of Monteverdi's music for the stage, however. He also wrote numerous works that, while not operas, are no less theatrical in their fusion of music, drama and dance. This is a survey of Monteverdi's entire output of music for the theatre - his surviving operas, other dramatic musical compositions, and lost works.
Journey Into the Light
Beyond your mind and body, lies your consciousness, which is aware of, but not a part of your thoughts. This book describes the journey of awakening to, and re-connecting with that consciousness, your essential nature. This awakening has been variously described as achieving "Enlightenment", "Spiritual Awakening" or "Awakening from the Dream". Labels aside, this awakening is available to us all. Having begun this journey, you will find purpose and meaning in your life as you gradually remember your true nature and access your own inner guidance. If you sense that there is something beyond your physical life story, then you are ready to begin that inner rite of passage. In describing his own life journey as a young man seeking answers to life's big questions to an awakening in consciousness in middle age, the author respectfully encourages you, also, to take that wonderful and magical journey, back home.

Understanding Italian Opera
"Eschewing the technical musical detail that all too often dominates writing on opera, Carter begins instead where the composers themselves did: with the text. Walking readers through the relationship between music and poetry that lies at the heart of any opera, Carter then offers explorations of five of the most enduring and emblematic Italian operas: Monteverdi's The Coronation of Poppea; Handel's Julius Caesar in Egypt; Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro; Verdi's Rigoletto; and Puccini's La Bohaeme"--Dust jacket flap.
