Christ and the Dramas of Doubt: Studies in the Problem of Evil is a book written by Ralph Tyler Flewelling. It is a collection of essays that explores the problem of evil and doubt in the context of the Christian faith. The book delves into the philosophical and theological aspects of the problem of evil, examining the various ways in which Christians have attempted to reconcile the existence of evil with the belief in a loving and all-powerful God.Flewelling examines the role of doubt in the Christian faith, arguing that it is a necessary and even beneficial aspect of a mature faith. He explores the various forms of doubt, including intellectual, emotional, and volitional doubt, and offers insights into how Christians can navigate these forms of doubt in order to deepen their faith.Throughout the book, Flewelling draws on the teachings of Christ and the insights of Christian thinkers throughout history to offer a nuanced and thoughtful exploration of the problem of evil and doubt. He offers a vision of a Christian faith that is both intellectually rigorous and spiritually rich, one that can help believers navigate the complexities of life in a fallen world. Overall, Christ and the Dramas of Doubt is a challenging and insightful work that will be of interest to anyone grappling with the problem of evil and doubt in the Christian faith.

Jeanne Bice

Light Hardcover (1 lb or less)

Pull Yourself Up by Your Bra Straps And Other Quacker Wisdom

Jeanne Bice is funny, vivacious, and larger than life. She's also a self-made woman. Ten years ago, when she began selling her line of "Quacker Factory" brand clothing on QVC, she barely had two pennies to rub together. But from the moment she hit the airwaves, she became one of the network's most popular guests. While her sparkly, whimsical sweaters drew raves, viewers really tuned in for Jeanne herself--for her wit and wisdom, and for her inspiring story of pulling herself up--well, by her bra straps. Now Jeanne has compiled her signature stories and the lessons she's learned into a quirky, quacky book that will resonate with her fans--thousands of women who call themselves "Quackers" and greet one another by saying, "Quack, quack, quack!"

Each chapter is a colorful lesson told in Jeanne's folksy, endearing voice, with advice like "If you can't lose it, decorate it!" and "Take a leap--and grow your wings on the way down." Reading these stories will lift your spirits, bring a smile to your face, and empower you to make your dreams come true.

An Improbably Theatrical Love Story

Rick Elice, author of Jersey Boys, Addams Family, and Peter and the Starcatcher for Broadway, has penned a heartbreaking memoir of his 34 years with the inimitable Roger Rees. Some may recognize Roger as Nicholas Nickleby and others will know him as Kirstie Alley's boyfriend on Cheers. When he died of brain cancer in 2015, Broadway dimmed all the lights in his honor -- a true stage legend. Pulled straight from Rick's enormous and broken heart, Finding Roger will touch everyone who reads it. It's a story of profound loss -- but also a love story for the ages.

Dominick Dunne


Another City, Not My Own: A Novel in the Form of a Memoir, 1st Edition, First Printing


This is the story of the Trial of the Century as only Dominick Dunne can write it. Told from the point of view of one of Dunne's most familiar fictional characters-Gus Bailey-Another City, Not My Own tells how Gus, the movers and shakers of Los Angeles, and the city itself are drawn into the vortex of the O.J. Simpson trial.


We have met Gus Bailey in previous novels by Dominick Dunne. He is a writer and journalist, father of a murdered child, and chronicler of justice-served or denied-as it relates to the rich and famous. Now back in Los Angeles, a city that once adored him and later shunned him, Gus is caught up in what soon becomes a national obsession. Using real names and places, Dunne interweaves the story of the trial with the personal trials Gus endures as he faces his own mortality.


By day, Gus is at the courthouse, the confidant of the Goldman and Simpson families, the lawyers, the journalists, the hangers-on, even the judge; at night he is the honored guest at the most dazzling gatherings in town as everyone-from Kirk Douglas to Heidi Fleiss, from Elizabeth Taylor to Nancy Reagan-delights in the latest news from the corridors of the courthouse.


Another City, Not My Own does what no other book on this sensational case has been able to do because of Dominick Dunne's unique ability to probe the sensibilities of participants and observers. This book illuminates the meaning of guilt and innocence in America today. A vivid, revealing achievement, Another City, Not My Own is Dominick Dunne at his best.

In an incisive fictional rendering of the O. J. Simpson trial, based on the author's inside coverage of the case, writer Gus Bailey offers a dramatic account of the murders that shocked America, while confronting the concept of his own mortality. 400,000 first printing. Tour.

The Classic Autobiography of a Young Black Girl in the Rural South

The unforgettable memoir of a woman at the front lines of the civil rights movement--a harrowing account of black life in the rural South and a powerful affirmation of one person's ability to affect change.
 
"Anne Moody's autobiography is an eloquent, moving testimonial to her courage."--Chicago Tribune
 
Born to a poor couple who were tenant farmers on a plantation in Mississippi, Anne Moody lived through some of the most dangerous days of the pre-civil rights era in the South. The week before she began high school came the news of Emmet Till's lynching. Before then, she had "known the fear of hunger, hell, and the Devil. But now there was . . . the fear of being killed just because I was black." In that moment was born the passion for freedom and justice that would change her life.

A straight-A student who realized her dream of going to college when she won a basketball scholarship, she finally dared to join the NAACP in her junior year. Through the NAACP and later through CORE and SNCC, she experienced firsthand the demonstrations and sit-ins that were the mainstay of the civil rights movement--and the arrests and jailings, the shotguns, fire hoses, police dogs, billy clubs, and deadly force that were used to destroy it.

A deeply personal story but also a portrait of a turning point in our nation's destiny, this autobiography lets us see history in the making, through the eyes of one of the footsoldiers in the civil rights movement.

Praise for Coming of Age in Mississippi
 
"A history of our time, seen from the bottom up, through the eyes of someone who decided for herself that things had to be changed . . . a timely reminder that we cannot now relax."--Senator Edward Kennedy, The New York Times Book Review

"Something is new here . . . rural southern black life begins to speak. It hits the page like a natural force, crude and undeniable and, against all principles of beauty, beautiful."--The Nation

"Engrossing, sensitive, beautiful . . . so candid, so honest, and so touching, as to make it virtually impossible to put down."--San Francisco Sun-Reporter

Arturo Pérez-Reverte

Guero Davila is a pilot engaged in drug-smuggling for the local cartels. Teresa Mendoza is his girlfriend, a typical narco's morra-- quiet, doting, submissive. But then Guero's caught playing both sides, and in Sinaloa, that means death. Teresa finds herself alone, terrified, friendless and running to save her life, carrying nothing but a gym bag containing a pistol and a notebook that she has been forbidden to read. Forced to leave Mexico, she flees to the Spanish city of Melilla, where she meets Santiago Fisterra, a Galician involved in trafficking hashish across the Strait of Gibraltar. When Santiago's partner is captured, it is Teresa who steps in to take his place. Now Teresa has plunged into the dark and ugly world that once claimed Guero's life-- and she's about to get in deeper...
