Bang!

Little, Brown Books for Young Readers

Bang Guns really sound like that, you know. Bang And people bleed from everywhere, and blood is redder than you think. And little kids look funny in caskets. That's 'cause they ain't meant to be in one, I guess. Mann is only thirteen, yet he has already had to deal with more than most go through in a lifetime. His family is still reeling from the tragic shooting death of his little brother, Jason, each person coping with grief in his or her own way. Mann's mother has stopped eating and is obsessed with preserving Jason's memory, while his father is certain that presenting a hard edge is the only way to keep his remaining son from becoming a statistic. Mann used to paint and ride horseback, but now he's doing everything he can to escape his emotions: getting involved in fights at school, joyriding at midnight, and much worse. His father, at his wit's end, does the only thing he thinks will teach his son how to be a man: he abandons him and his friend Kee-Lee in the woods, leaving them to navigate their way home, alone. Now Mann, struggling to find his way back to civilization, must also reconcile himself to the realities of a world that has stolen his little brother, and that isn't even sure it still wants Mann in it. One wrong turn and it could all be over for him, too. Bang.

You Are Not a Cat!

You Are Not a Cat!

Sharon G. Flake

Boyds Mills Press
2016
sidottu
This clever and hilarious story stars Cat, who starts out perfectly content and relaxed, and Duck, who infuriates him by meowing like a cat instead of quacking like Cat thinks he should. Written completely in dialogue, this minimalist text is fun to read aloud and easy enough for newly independent readers to enjoy on their own. Humorous and deceptively simple artwork highlights the characters' personalities, showing Duck's quirkiness and good humor and Cat's rising frustration as Duck impersonates a variety of animals, refusing to concede that he is, indeed, a duck. Duck's silliness will appeal to children who enjoy pretend play, and older siblings will relate to Cat's annoyance as Duck refuses to leave his side. Ideal for multiple readings, here is a concise, funny story with playful details in the artwork and humor that never fades.

Barcelona, the cultural epicenter of Catalunya, is presently experiencing the most dynamic and polemical period in its modern theater history. It is the commanding hub of an energetic theater scene that in recent years has witnessed an exuberant outpouring of new dramatists, a steady crescendo in theater attendance, and a continual increase in the international presence of Catalan directors, playwrights, and companies. The path along which the contemporary Catalan stage has struggled to recover and reconstitute the professional legitimacy and visibility that it lost during the Franco dictatorship has been a complex process. In the Eye of the Storm: Contemporary Theater in Barcelona describes the public and private dramas, crucial moments, and even some of the back stories that have shaped the theatrical life of the city of Barcelona in the aftermath of the dictatorship. It also considers at length several key companies, playwrights, theatrical works, and performances that have contributed in significant ways to the recuperation of the Catalan stage during the democratic period.

It's been four years since Fiona, Margaret, and Sunny Cavanaugh, along with friend Brigid Conner, left Boston to start a new life in Colorado. Sunny Josephine Cavanaugh has come of age and has become a partner in Fiona's Carpentry business. Jo offers to do work for the new seamstress, who's opening a shop downtown and in need of upgrading. Tessa Langford hates the restrictions and constant hovering by her brother Warren; his constant harping of her previous troubles forging a wedge separating them further with each reminder. She's interested in Jo the carpenter, and Warren isn't happy about it. Fiona Cavanaugh is having serious medical trouble. She's been losing periods of her sight and the migraines are getting worse. Afraid to tell Margaret because her teaching is doing so well, Fiona's unable to find a way to mend the distance growing between them because of her health and her silence. Margaret has felt Fiona hiding something, and concerned when Fiona chooses to avoid rather than speak to her. After four years, Fiona's nightmares are returning. They're growing apart, and Margaret fears that if she doesn't figure out what is the underlying reason, she could lose Fiona forever. Brigid Conner has enjoyed her new life since arriving in Colorado. She hasn't found that special someone, but gets her hopes up when Warren Langford shows an interest -- until Warren causes trouble for Fiona and Jo. Brigid finds solace in the understanding ear of her friend Ethel Winton's new beau, Nicholas Tirrell. Only, Nicholas can't be as wonderful as he appears on the surface, can he? With a murderer on the loose, can the women overcome their personal obstacles before one of them is the next victim?

Broken yet Beloved

Sharon G Thornton

Wipf Stock Publishers
2022
pokkari
Sharon Thornton gives pastoral theology new ears that hear the true depth and breadth of suffering. She dares to look beyond the accepted perspectives of pastoral theology to discern a new vision of hope made possible by the cross. Thornton brings pastoral theology into conversation with public theology, reading them from the perspective of the cross. When interpreted from its political standpoint, the cross offers new and challenging pastoral perspectives on the complex experiences of modern life. The cross of Christ names suffering for what it is, giving us a means of radically critiquing all attempts to camouflage, minimize, or distort the truth of pain. Sharing her experiences of ministering to those anguished by poverty and oppression, Thornton brings to light the external forces that contribute both directly and indirectly to human brokenness. And, through these same stories and the work of a faith community modeling alternative practices in pastoral care, she shows us that there is hope for healing.
