Mystery and Mirth
Author: Patricia Fish
Publisher: LifeRich Publishing
ISBN: 1489725938
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
It’s a difficult task, writing mysteries with humor; they are, after all, two mediums not normally combined. I’d argue that the combination is an intriguing one, a combination that would appeal most to female readers of cozy mysteries. The target market would likely be females from young adult to seniors, a large audience, I submit. Most, but not all, of the protagonists in the stories are female. The mystery within each story draws the reader in with a bang of an opening “pull” to a surprise ending so many cozy mystery readers adore. The humor is spattered throughout the stories, keeping the reader chugging along to the surprise endings with a smile. This is the kind of book a reader would take to the beach. It’s an entertaining book; there are no grand morals or substantive drama. There is no gratuitous violence or sex.

In the Mystery's Shadow
Author: Susan H. Swetnam
Publisher: Liturgical Press
ISBN: 0814663869
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
As our lifespans continue to grow longer, millions of people every year spend time caring for the elderly and dying—some as professionals, some as volunteers, and some through their loving but demanding care for parents, spouses, or other family members or friends. In her book In the Mystery’s Shadow, Susan Swetnam draws on her experience serving thousands of ill and dying clients, often in hospice programs, as a certified massage therapist—and also on her experience of caring for her own husband, who died young of cancer. She explains how this sometimes difficult work offers not just the fulfillment of giving comfort to people who need it, but also moments of breathtaking wonder, moments that hint at the untold complexity of being human and affirm our sacred connections with each other. She writes of the hard lessons caregivers learn about themselves, while at the same time knowing the strange and humbling sense of being used in the service of God’s love. Insightfully connecting end-of-life care with the liturgical year, Swetnam invites those who care for the sick and dying, whether professional or volunteer, to stay awake to the sacred implications of their labors.
