A comprehensive overview in words and photographs of the famous herd of wild horses protected on one of North Carolina's barrier islands.There is an island at the remote southern end of North Carolina’s Outer Banks where you might see wild horses playing in the surf, or grazing within view of the Cape Lookout Lighthouse, or scattering into a rare, weather-beaten maritime forest. The horse herd on Shackleford Banks has long been a subject of fascination. Today, it is both one of the wildest and most controlled animal populations on earth. An array of scientists sees to it that the horses are born, battle for social rank, forage for food, suffer the elements, and die without human interference. At the same time, to protect the island from overgrazing, these scientists practice the 21st-century paradox of “wilderness management”—a careful plan of genetic testing and immunocontraception to maintain a target population of 120 to 130 healthy horses. Mystery and controversy have always surrounded the Shackleford horses. Some experts offer evidence that they are the descendants of horses cast off foundering Spanish galleons. Others cite proof that they are of much more recent origin. Many people see them as symbols of bedrock American values like freedom and self-sufficiency. But over the years, some have argued that they pose a threat to the island’s ecology and should be banned as feral goats, sheep, and cattle were long ago. There is even disagreement over what they are. Scientists say they’re horses, but many people will forever insist they’re ponies. The Wild Horses of Shackleford Banks is a comprehensive overview of the famous herd—its possible origins and development, its hardiness in the face of hurricanes, its complex relationship with humans, its hard-won protection within Cape Lookout National Seashore. The book’s plentiful illustrations—both archival and contemporary—show why the Shackleford horses are so beloved among visitors to the Outer Banks.*A portion of the proceeds from The Wild Horses of Shackleford Banks will be contributed to the Foundation for Shackleford Horses, Inc.

CHASING YOUR TAIL is both humorous and sobering. It's the story of a young man getting nowhere fast in life, who is growing more disillusioned by the minute and has become so fed up with the situation he's about ready to explode. Jim works in a cubicle all day long. Sometimes it comes close to driving him mad. He's a writer on the side and is just as frustrated in that department. His best friend Will lives just down the road in Philly and he goes there as often as he can, just to get his mind off of things; the two of them go endlessly barhopping all night long and wile away the daytime hours in equally fruitless and unproductive ways. Jim's parents are money-obsessed and his little brother is a thoroughly depressed kid who can't seem to get his act together either. Jim goes to his parents' house for dinner and fends them off any way he can, goes out for drinks with the weirdos from work, goes to the bars by himself in ill-fated attempts to pick up girls, obsesses over his manager, the severe-looking woman with the bossy streak he loves so much, dreams about his girlfriend from back in school, the one who got away. He takes road trips to Canada and sits in parks and goes on long aimless walks at night and all the while he's going nowhere and knows it, but is determined to continue on his quest to find an alternative no matter what. CHASING YOUR TAIL is lively and high-spirited, and written in an irreverent off-the-cuff style.

When I preach, I often start with a paraphrased prayer from Psalm 19:4: "O Lord, may the words of my mouth and the mediations of our hearts together be acceptable to You, our rock and our Redeemer." Silently to myself, I add a second prayer: "O God, you better speak through me 'because I have no clue what to say " I need to thank God, first and foremost, for backing me up all these years with an answer to that prayer. I have always found that when I can let go and let Spirit enter, preaching goes well and I am deeply thankful for that help. Thank you, God, thank you.I also want to thank all the professors and classmates and peers who have given me example after example to follow. In like manner, renowned preachers like Sharon Watkins, Barbara Brown Taylor, Fred Craddock, William Barber II, Rick Lowery, Chuck Shorow, Bill Inglish and on and on gave me awe-inspiring, challenging, and beautifully moving examples to emulate even if I never reached their pinnacle of excellence.Since the essence of preaching is communication, every preacher understands that the congregations who listened and shared the sermon experience deserve a special thank you for their attentiveness and patience. Thank you especially to the communities of Disciples Christian Church, Bartlesville, OK and First Christian Church, Grand Island, NE for our years together.Finally, I must thank my wife, Patty, for her grace and patience while I focused on exegesis and writing. Her love means everything and simply saying 'thank you' seems a paltry effort in light of her herculean devotion to this late-in-life pastor. Thank you all

Over the past decade, I've written pastoral prayers for worship each week. These were written in the heat of the moment, so to speak. Usually composed early Sunday morning after the week-long digestion of scripture, they are graced with current news and whatever other sources fly by on Facebook, television, etc. Moreover, they are imbued with the weather of the day: rainy, snowy, hot, sunny, cloudy days that greet us and build our patience. As I prepared for worship, these are the words that came to me, the words that seemed appropriate to bless the congregation, the words that connected ancient scripture with our modern lives._____
