Desperation Lingers doesn't want to die! She simply wants to break the habit of living another disastrous day. A guidance counselor at a Miami second chance school, she longs to be a teacher but sends the students scattering like roaches, calling her beastly names. Principal Hector Rivera says she's too high society, unable to relate. His criticism would be easier to take if the two weren't having a rocky, not-so-private affair. Still reeling from a series of failed marriages can she prove to Hector -- everyone -- that she has what it takes to lead a class? Recruiting three unlikely students, she devises a secret plan to instruct Miami's greatest social misfits the one subject she knows best -- etiquette. But who's teaching whom? And in the end, to what depths will Desperation plunge to learn the truth about life, love, and being a lady?

What makes a Christmas tree attractive? Where do Himalayan Persians, beagles, and hamsters fit into the Christmas scheme? How do pleasant, well-intentioned seasonal gestures such as decorating the house, baking cookies, sending Christmas cards, purchasing gifts, giving parties, and going to events become stress-inducing obligations? In Have Yourself a Hamster Little Christmas, author Sarah Shell Teague presents a collection of essays that describes the ups and downs of what can be a most hectic holiday season. From the activity at Grand Central Station in Manhattan, in the solitude of the Grand Teton National Forest, and most of all at her home in South Arkansas, Teague describes familiar yet comical aspects of the Christmas season. In her holiday mishaps, Teague relates how she nearly comes to blows with a Christmas tree farmer, an imaginary mountain lion, and a crowd intent on reveling at the annual parade. With humor, sensitivity, and faith, the stories in Have Yourself a Hamster Little Christmas provide the antidote for too much Christmas pressure and stress.

The Christian gospel, says Brueggemann, is too easily preached and heard. Too often technical reason and excessive religious certitude reduce the gospel to coercive, debilitating pietisms that mask the text's meaning and freeze the hearers heart. With skill and imagination, Brueggemann demonstrates how the preacher can engage in daring speech?differently voiced and therefore differently heard. This speech, as suggested by the Bible itself, is "poetic" speech, enabling the preacher to forge communion in the midst of alienation, bring healing out of guilt, and empower the hearer for "missional imagination." As an alternative to theological/homiletical discourse that is moralistic, pietistic or scholastic, Brueggemann proposes preaching that is artistic, poetic, and dramatic. The basis for the 1989 Lyman Beecher Lectures at Yale Divinity School, Finally Comes the Poet is a unique and transforming guide for powerful preaching.

The flame of evil flickers, but has not gone out... Queen Alice of Algernon thought she had seen the last of the demon, Ralston Radburn, when she banished him to the underworld seven years ago. Unfortunately, traitors within her court, are plotting to revive the trapped monster, so that he may exact his revenge. In order to bring Ralston back to the world of the living, a very powerful spell must be recited inside the Cloud Shrine, during the approaching full moon. Matters are further complicated by the spell having been divided into two pieces, long ago, by the wizard, Octavius. When the traitors - who call themselves Calamity and Chaos - realize the locations of both halves, they waste no time in going after them. The Queen must gather her courage and set out on another adventure, gathering together old friends and welcoming in new ones. As always, her path is filled with danger - from pirates, to churning waterfalls, to amorous unwanted suitors. On this journey through realms, Alice must come to realize that though one star is lovely, many are magnificent. Follow Alice and her friends across The Sea of Fate, walk the warm beaches of Alexandria and pass through the gates of the Cloud Realm, in pursuit of two demons who have already brought down one empire. All this before the moon waxes full. For more information please go to candacecoonan.tripod.com.
