Then came "the call " "David," the trembling voice said from the other end, "I have just sold my house and I don't know what to do. Help me, please." That short conversation was to change our lives for years to come. It would challenge strengths and reveal weaknesses. It was going to confront us with questions about love, life and character. It was to propose a challenging question, "Can life interrupt life". Taking Care of Joe is the daily experience of millions of Americans who find themselves with loved ones in need. Taking Care of Joe invites the reader to find humor in crisis, hope in disaster and comfort in shared experiences. It invites the reader to cry without despair, slump without defeat and soar with blessings that only God can hide in unexpected places.

"I thought I'd be dead by 21" Great pain produces character. It can just as easily produce fear, rejection, and self-loathing. My early life produced in me a fear that I'd be dead by 21. This personal narrative is my memory of a lifelong search for love, belonging, and a sense of place. Walk with me on my journey through abandonment, panic attacks, fear, rejection, bullying, and unbelief, out into the blinding light of healing love. Adopted touches on the issues nearly every child or adult adoptee must face on the way to maturity, wholeness, and redemption. Along the way it provides valuable insights to adoptive and foster parents who long to see their children whole. And to adult adoptees who wonder why they do what they do and how healing can be the next chapter in their life story.

Have you noticed the toll modern ministry is taking on our pastors? Pastors are in big trouble but have few resources to help. Pastoral fatigue and burnout cost the church more than just money; it costs lives, drying up the pastoral pool. More pastors and church leaders leave ministry today than in the history of the Christian Church. And I almost became a statistic. I learned the hard way how can we equip young pastors to plan for ministry longevity; and, help more experienced pastors foster the spiritual health and renewal that they need after years of ministry?More and more has been written about sabbaticals, yet few comprehensive, but simple, guidebooks are available to assist a pastor to initiate and maximize the gift of his or her pastoral sabbatical. This primer is designed to take a pastor through the sabbatical from conception to conclusion. It contains more than was available to me when I took both my first and second sabbaticals. Though not meant to be scholarly or exhaustive, the content accomplishes the purpose of a primer on spiritual sabbaticals.THE PRIMER ANSWERS THESE QUESTIONS: --What is a sabbatical or spiritual renewal leave?--Why take a sabbatical?--Who needs a sabbatical?--Why do I need a sabbatical?--When should I take a sabbatical?--How long should a sabbatical be? What's the criteria?--Where can I find the guidance and resources to plan and carry out a sabbatical?--How do I begin?--What do I do, or what steps do I take before, during, and after the sabbatical?THE PRIMER OFFERS: --A brief, biblical context and rationale for sabbatical and Sabbath--Practical steps and phases for planning, initiating, and navigating the sabbatical from beginning to reentry.--Answers to "honest fears and reservations" pastors have regarding sabbaticals--Helpful tools in the six appendices, along with other samples of proposals, letters, and a "Life Mission Statement" for prioritizing your calling--Encouragement for those who find the whole idea to be overwhelming--Specific references to sabbatical policies, housing, funding sources, and other helpful information to assist in planning the pastoral sabbatical--A brief suggested reading list for sabbatical reading--Helps for the church to understand your spiritual renewal leave-sabbaticalPurchasing the Sabbatical Primer for Pastors is one of the best investments you'll make toward the longevity of your ministry and pastoral health. As part of your decision process, take the time to read WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT IT in the reviews. Consider buying one for a friend or colleague in ministry as well. Or sending it as a Kindle gift book.You just may save a calling . . . and a friend.
Adoption can be one of the greatest and hardest things a person or couple can be called to do. You promise to care for and love a child who cannot be cared for by their birth parents. You have taken the biblical calling to care for orphans personally and love that child no matter what. How can you convey that love when there are so many physically and socially conceived differences between you? This book provides an avenue for conversation with adopted children in a loving and Godly way. The author's hope is that this book will promote adoption and encourage children to know and understand the love that their adoptive parents have for them.

Finalist for CSAW’s Outstanding Western Book of 2021 Historical Society of New Mexico’s Gaspar PÉrez de VillagrÁ Award Santa Fe Trail Association's Louise Barry Writing Award The Bents might be the most famous family in the history of the American West. From the 1820s to 1920 they participated in many of the major events that shaped the Rocky Mountains and Southern Plains. They trapped beaver, navigated the Santa Fe Trail, intermarried with powerful Indian tribes, governed territories, became Indian agents, fought against the U.S. government, acquired land grants, and created historical narratives. The Bent family’s financial and political success through the mid-nineteenth century derived from the marriages of Bent men to women of influential borderland families-New Mexican and Southern Cheyenne. When mineral discoveries, the Civil War, and railroad construction led to territorial expansions that threatened to overwhelm the West’s oldest inhabitants and their relatives, the Bents took up education, diplomacy, violence, entrepreneurialism, and the writing of history to maintain their status and influence. In Blood in the Borderlands David C. Beyreis provides an in-depth portrait of how the Bent family creatively adapted in the face of difficult circumstances. He incorporates new material about the women in the family and the “forgotten” Bents and shows how indigenous power shaped the family’s business and political strategies as the family adjusted to American expansion and settler colonist ideologies. The Bent family history is a remarkable story of intercultural cooperation, horrific violence, and pragmatic adaptability in the face of expanding American power.

Winnie Lightner (1899-1971) stood out as the first great female comedian of the talkies. Blessed with a superb singing voice and a gift for making wisecracks and rubber faces, she rose to stardom in vaudeville and on Broadway. Then, at the dawn of the sound era, she became the first person in motion picture history to have her spoken words, the lyrics to a song, censored.In Winnie Lightner: Tomboy of the Talkies, David L. Lightner shows how Winnie Lightner's hilarious performance in the 1929 musical comedy Gold Diggers of Broadway made her an overnight sensation. She went on to star in seven other Warner Bros. features. In the best of them, she was the comic epitome of a strident feminist, dominating men and gleefully spurning conventional gender norms and moral values. So tough was she, the studio billed her as ""the tomboy of the talkies.""When the Great Depression rendered moviegoers hostile toward feminism, Warner Bros. tried to craft a new image of her as glamorous and sexy. Executives assigned her contradictory roles in which she was empowered in the workplace but submissive to her male partner at home. The new persona flopped at the box office, and Lightner's stardom ended. In four final movies, she played supporting roles as the loudmouthed roommate and best friend of actresses Loretta Young, Joan Crawford, and Mona Barrie.Following her retirement in 1934, Lightner faded into obscurity. Many of her films were damaged or even lost entirely. At long last, this biography gives Winnie Lightner the recognition she deserves as a notable figure in film history, in women's history, and in the history of show business.
