Book Description
The little house in Chile, South America, where Margaret Register lives with her husband, Joe, and their two small children, Christy and Timmy, protects them from the freezing rain. But nothing can protect them from an envious co-worker determined to destroy their ministry. An earthquake later, Margaret and her family transfer to the hot, humid country of Paraguay where there are no traffic lights or stop signs. She sees chicken feet in soup and eats orange, tongue-like strips from spiny, green seafood. Through pain, through tears, through anger and through disillusionment, Margaret realizes that she does not want to be a "plastic saint"-one who is brittle and hollow and stuck in neutral. Transparent with her pain, Margaret leads us through laughter and tears, through victories, disappointments, and miracles, along her journey to meet the challenge of real life on the mission field. Why in the world would such a creative person as Margaret Register dedicate her life to spreading the Gospel so far from home? There has to be a story behind that! There is one, and it's contained in this marvelous book you now hold in your hands. You're about to get blessed-so, get ready! -Dan Betzer (Pastor / Byline Television Host / Revivaltime Radio Speaker / Dan & Louie Puppet Duo) Born in the Midwest into a Methodist pastor's home, Margaret Register grew up knowing about God and His provision. A missionary for 38 years, Margaret ministered in Chile, Paraguay, and on television programs that continue, today, to reach 200 countries on 14 satellites. In 2005, Margaret and Joe retired from foreign missions and now make their home in Florida where they continue to minister in both English and Spanish.

Book Description
John Dillenberger has written the first comprehensive account of the relation between the visual arts and theological currents in Europe during the first half of the sixteenth century. With an astute knowledge of the theology of the period and a keen interest in the lives and work of prominent artists, Dillenberger makes incisive connections that illuminate the cultural movements of the time. Images and Relics considers both popular and professional art within distinct religious contexts. It examines the works of Matthias Grunewald, Albrecht Durer, Lucas Cranach the Elder, Michelangelo, Hans Holbein the Younger, Hans Baldung Grien, and Albrecht Altdorfer, and demonstrates how these artists expressed and transformed the reigning theological ideas of their day. The book also addresses the range of iconoclastic movements from the 1520s to the 1570s, particularly in northern Europe. Finally, Dillenberger reflects on the ambiguity of the history of this period and its continuing impact on modern-day life.

Book Description
Chrissy Landress and four of her friends are the victims of a buyout of their local telephone company in the small town of Chinquapin, Fl. They lost their jobs and are quickly running out of money. They’ve all moved into Chrissy’s ancestral home, Magnolia Hall. The friends have their backs to the wall and must think outside the box...extremely outside the box...in order to survive. They decide to open a high class gentlemen’s club. They must keep the operation of the brothel under the radar, but even with all the clandestine machinations, word spreads, and the club prospers. Everything is copacetic until a local VIP dies in the bordello. The club workers must cover up the death of the guest by making his demise appear the result of a car accident. Chrissy’s boyfriend, the local sheriff Hank Albritton, has turned a blind eye to his lady love’s business endeavor, but he discovers the guest was murdered. Where, how, and by whom is a mystery. Could the killer be a member of the Magnolia Hall staff...or another guest? The killing attracts national attention to the plight of many American workers who lost their jobs during the Great Recession, and the women and men of Magnolia Hall attain celebrity status, but more scandals loom on the horizon for Chrissy and her friends.

Book Description
Running away from home hasn’t solved Iphigenia Murphy’s problems. In fact, it’s only a matter of time before they’ll catch up with her. Iffy is desperate to find her long-lost mother, and, so far, in spite of the need to forage for food and shelter and fend off an unending number of creeps, living in Queens’ Forest Park has felt safer than living at home. But as the summer days get shorter, it all threatens to fall apart. A novel that explores the sustaining love of friendship, the kindness of strangers, and the indelible bond of family, Iphigenia Murphy captures the gritty side of 1992 Queens, the most diverse borough in New York City. Just like Iffy, the friends she makes in the park—Angel, a stray dog with the most ridiculous tail; Corinne, a young trans woman who is escaping her own abusive situation; and Anthony, a former foster kid from upstate whose parents are addicts—each seek a place where they feel at home. Whether fate or coincidence has brought them together, within this community of misfits Iffy can finally be herself, but she still has to face the effects of abandonment and abuse—and the possibility that she may be pregnant. During what turns out to be a remarkable journey to find her mother, will Iffy ultimately discover herself?

Book Description
Peace Mongers is much more than a collection or book of poems. It is the concretization of an indefatigable crusade for peace through lyricism that equally reads much more as a manifesto. The words, herein strung, dignify the victims of gratuitous violence, be it political, social, economic, or cultural. On the same scale the collection comes across as a virulent vilification of the perpetrators of acts of violence which to the poet is never justified. In short, Peace Monger is an ingenious and gleeful dissection of violence that plague humanity more than ever before and especially Ambazonia/Southern Cameroons.
