Book Description
Dangers, Toils and Snares charts the life and times of Jaroslav (Jiri/Jerry) Zellek, 1895-1963. Born in provincial Austria, synesthete, gifted musician and linguist, Jiri’s experiences take him to Germany, London, the Isle of Wight and finally rural Hampshire. These various locations offer him alternative paths in life, often with alternative partners. Jiri’s sexuality is ambivalent; not a problem in 1920s Berlin, but more so in post war England. Although never an intelligence agent, Jiri is involved as both fall-guy and hitman with a group who are based on the infamous Cambridge Spies. As the story progresses, gradually uncovered family secrets will cast doubt on his closest relationships. Jiri is an unpredictable, solipsistic and not entirely likeable character, but his unusual internal monologues about the situations he finds himself in and his enduring ability to come out on top of continually unpromising situations keep the reader on his side. The novel is an entertaining read with witty dialogue and surreal situations. The tone is decidedly quirky and will keep you guessing until the very end.

Book Description
Through Many Dangers, Toils and Snares, originally published in 1985, was the first book to make an in-depth examination of the cadre of African American lawmakers in Texas after the Civil War. Those few books that addressed the subject at all treated black legislators en masse and offered little or nothing about their individual histories. Early scholars tended to present isolated events of the violence and political deterrents inflicted upon black voters but said very little about how these obstacles affected black lawmakers. Author Merline Pitre has departed from this traditional method and relied upon the untapped original materials found on these black lawmakers. This third edition features a new preface and extended, updated appendixes, ensuring that this study will remain useful to political scientists, sociologists, and historians of Texas political history, Afro-American history, and revisionists of Reconstruction.

Book Description
Grace: We all desperately need it, but do we know why? It’s a theological buzzword in Christian circles, but what exactly is it? The Bible has so much to say about grace and presents many different nuances of grace – but many of them seem to be misunderstood, misinterpreted, misapplied, or just missed. So, let’s not miss them! Let’s get ready to receive all the grace we can. It’s available. It has a never-ending supply. It is ours for the taking, and God is ready, willing, and able to give. Author Steve Stewart takes us on a journey through the pages of Scripture, looking at individuals who experienced the wonder of grace. He will guide us into a deeper understanding of and appreciation for God’s many Manifestations of Grace. Are you ready for grace? Let’s start the journey!

Book Description
Autobiographical Writing Across the Disciplines reveals the extraordinary breadth of the intellectual movement toward self-inclusive scholarship. Presenting exemplary works of criticism incorporating personal narratives, this volume brings together twenty-seven essays from scholars in literary studies and history, mathematics and medicine, philosophy, music, film, ethnic studies, law, education, anthropology, religion, and biology. Pioneers in the development of the hybrid genre of personal scholarship, the writers whose work is presented here challenge traditional modes of inquiry and ways of knowing. In assembling their work, editors Diane P. Freedman and Olivia Frey have provided a rich source of reasons for and models of autobiographical criticism. The editors’ introduction presents a condensed history of academic writing, chronicles the origins of autobiographical criticism, and emphasizes the role of feminism in championing the value of personal narrative to disciplinary discourse. The essays are all explicitly informed by the identities of their authors, among whom are a feminist scientist, a Jewish filmmaker living in Germany, a potential carrier of Huntington’s disease, and a doctor pregnant while in medical school. Whether describing how being a professor of ethnic literature necessarily entails being an activist, how music and cooking are related, or how a theology is shaped by cultural identity, the contributors illuminate the relationship between their scholarly pursuits and personal lives and, in the process, expand the boundaries of their disciplines.

Book Description
We are surrounded by invitations. In grade school, birthday party invitations were so much fun to get in class. Friends may invite us to grab a bite to eat; or you may want to invite that girl from your homeroom to go see a movie. Invitations bring us closer together. Accepting them will always bring us closer to others and teach us more about ourselves. Before we invite people to share with us, we have to get to know them. The greatest of all invitations came when God sent His Son to offer heaven to mankind. Many don't know this to be true because they feel judged and don't know that the offer is extended to them too. God is able to invite us because He knows us and wants us to know Him. An unbelievable adventure started when a young man was invited to leave his country to go to visit a city in Venezuela for one week. Accepting the invitation started an unbelievable course of events and led him to an acceptance of his own spiritual apathy and desolation and a newfound inspiration to overcome it while also reaching out to others. This search for others in desolation continues and has taken the author to incredible heights. He now invites you to share in this compelling journey from near death to abundant life and a lifetime of church planting in the exceptionally beautiful but spiritually dark Andes Mountains. Half of the royalties from this book will go to support Christ the King Baptist Church in Timotes, Venezuela and their ongoing efforts to grow an alcohol rehab center there.
