Book Description
Atlanta Rain is a fictional story about two respected Atlanta lawyers, father and son, who suddenly find themselves the target of public outrage for representing opposing sides of the sensational murder case of State of Georgia v. William (Billy) Hinkler. Prominent Atlanta attorney, Richard Boomer, represents the accused while his son Troy, is assigned by the State of Georgia to prosecute. On the basis of circumstantial evidence, Georgia accuses Billy Hinkler, son of an Atlanta Banker, of kidnapping and murdering young Tommy Perelli. The close relationship between the two lawyers soon gives way to anger and then to estrangement as a result of their fierce competition. In Atlanta Rain you will find several players whose stories further enliven this compelling mystery. You will get to know the lovely Jessica Moreland as she tries to win the staid Richard Boomer while Emily, his wife, tries to understand the sudden change in him. As you read the story, you find yourself in Judge Lampreys Atlanta court room listening to the lawyers as they argue fine points of law, or conducting your own separate investigation, eager to be the first to solve the cruel murder.

Book Description
Much has been written about prominent women of the Bible such as Sarah, Ruth, and Esther. But little attention has been paid to the obscure or unnamed women of the Old Testament whose words are not recorded. Yet even while mute, these women often played critical roles in the unfolding of God’s plan, at times signaling the emergence of great events. In Jeroboam’s Wife, Robin Gallaher Branch introduces seven of these obscure yet noteworthy women and girls. Through her careful examination of the literary contours of the biblical narratives, she highlights their unique challenges and indelible contributions. Drawing from contemporary biblical, psychological, and sociological scholarship, Branch brings these women and their stories to life in fresh ways. Thoughtful questions for personal reflection or group discussion help contemporary readers ponder how these women’s lives are still relevant.

Book Description
Using insights about ancient and modern tragedy, this study offers challenging and provocative new readings of selected Biblical narratives: the story of Israel's first king, Saul, rejected for his disobedience to God and driven to madness; the story of Jephthah's sacrifice of his daughter in fulfillment of his vow to offer God a sacrifice in return for military victory; and the story of Israel's most famous king, David, whose tragedy lies in the burden of divine judgement that falls on his house as a consequence of his sins. The book discusses how these narratives handle such perennial tragic issues as guilt, suffering and evil.

Book Description
This book provides an up-to-date synthesis of Aztec culture, applying interdisciplinary approaches (archaeology, ethnohistory and ethnography) to reconstructing the complex and enigmatic civilization. Frances F. Berdan offers a balanced assessment of complementary and sometimes contradictory sources in unravelling the ancient way of life. The book provides a cohesive view of the Aztecs and their empire, emphasizing the diversity and complexity of social, economic, political and religious roles played by the many kinds of people we call 'Aztecs'. Concluding with three integrative case studies, the book examines the stresses, dynamics and anchors of Aztec culture and society.
