Book Description
New York Times Notable Book: “The sorrows of Job [visit] a St. Louis nut salesman, with hilarious results . . . [A] wry updating of the biblical tragedy” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). In this “astute, entertaining novel,” two very different men cross each other’s paths in St. Louis, Missouri (The New York Times). Ben Hudnut is an upper-middle-class entrepreneur determined to bring an affordable cashew to American consumers. When he isn’t pursuing this goal, he’s usually in the company of his wife and four daughters—occasionally joined for family dinner by his dull but devoted secretary. Jeremy Cook, meanwhile, is a cynical unemployed academic, a linguist who doesn’t know what to do with himself—until he’s pressured into studying Ben Hudnut’s baby girl and her unusual speech patterns. But as different as these two men are, they will soon have one thing in common, as both of their lives begin to fall apart around them . . . “A dark domestic comedy that traces the perils of middle-aged manhood, told with attentiveness to the subtleties of communication.” —The New York Times Book Review “Witty, good-natured, and completely convincing: Carkeet has managed, with sympathy and charm, to trace the exceptional adventures of an utterly ordinary man.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “A shrewd, wickedly funny delight, full of hilarious takes on rocky marriages, sexual boredom, raising kids, communication gaps—and nutty doings, as in almonds and cashews . . . A delectable observer of human foibles and pretense.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Book Description
The essay reads an Enlightened and modern critique of progress in Mozart's Cosi fan tutte. With numerous references to other operas and texts, and with a storyline that emphasizes inevitable, yet mutable aspects of human nature, Cosi presents an ambivalent picture of the ways in which even the most disinterested and best-informed attitude toward the past can affect the future. At the same time, the opera seems to embrace the notion of freedom of choice without rejecting tradition or repetition. The essay also comments on the performance of Cosi in Zurich in 2000, conducted by Nikolaus Harnoncourt, who often works with authentic period instruments.

Book Description
Combining elements of domestic comedy with the linguistic insights of his favorite protagonist, Jeremy Cook, Carkeet has created another modern parable that delineates the fault lines existing between the sexes and running through the textures of language itself.

Book Description
Humorous, uplifting, and informative, Final Legacies is written for the recreational reader as well as for survivors of loss by death. The author traces his own views of death from his early childhood through the present and reveals methods of recovery in the Final Legacies left by the deceased. The book is a must for those who have lost a significant other, who counsel the dying and their survivors, and who will face loss in the future. The humorous treatment of a very heavy subject relieves the reader of the emotional devastation of reading about death.

Book Description
Stepping through the Psalms and Proverbs is designed to be a daily devotional and a word for the day. The author has selected his favorite passages for the commentary that are familiar and encouraging. The format is a scripture passage followed by a Holy Spirit inspired commentary. The authors of the Psalms and Proverbs were positive and encouraging. I have attempted to emphasize this throughout.The book is not a scholarly work with footnotes and references but rather an inspired one. Each day, I would read a passage and then wait for the Holy Spirit to direct my commentary. That is my method for Bible study.My purpose in writing this book is to encourage you in your walk with the Lord, hence, the reference to stepping. It is a spiritual exercise that is simple and profound. I hope and pray you will be lifted up by stepping through the Psalms and Proverbs with me. I continue to be amazed how the Holy Spirit uses scripture verses to build us up.

All be Earth’s children of Sun and of Moon, down through the ages we’ve danced to the tune. The flow of all life through Goddess and God, none shall forsake thee, the Sword, and the Rod. Holy the Star that is worshipped in Truth, Morgaine, and Merlin forever in Youth. All is the Horned One, Fertility Rite, and Blessed Be Diana, in Love and in Light. Candles and Incense and Tools of the Trade, for Magus and Wicche Queen all debts shall be paid. Praise are the Elements Fire, Earth, Water, and Air, Celebrations and Sabbats, you will find us there. Blessed be the Power, and Bind ye the Cord, Blessed is the Union, and Love the reward. The Wicches song of the Ages echoes again, Blessed is the knowledge, long may it reign. The Path of the Wicche, the Path of the Wise, in Power and Glory, all Truth shall rise. We stand United, through Ages long past, the Truth that is Wicchecraft, forever shall it last. Gathered together those of the Kin, in freedom and Love beyond any sin. Merry Meet, Merry Part, tis Union for all, Blessed the Fellowship that answers Her Call!” Tamara Von Forslun 1978
