I watched as her chest moved up and down with the respirator. It was breathing for her, and I wondered how long after the machine stopped would her chest cease to move. Debbie was only thirty-three years old, and it seemed impossible that this was happening. Kathie had her head on her mothers chest when she stopped breathing and the monitor went flat. She screamed, Mommy, Mommy, please dont leave me! In that instant, the monitor started up again, as if Debbie had turned at hearing her daughters cry and was coming back. For two weeks after her death, I had experienced such an abundance of Gods Grace, it allowed me to minister to others.

Deborah Green is a woman of passionate contradictions--a rabbi who craves goodness and surety while wrestling with her own desires and with the sorrow and pain she sees around her. Her life changes when she visits the hospital room of Henry Friedman, an older man who has attempted suicide. His parents were murdered in the Holocaust when he was a child, and all his life he's struggled with difficult questions. Deborah's encounter with Henry and his family draws her into a world of tragedy, frailty, love, and, finally, hope.

In the climactic part of his three-book series exploring the importance of public image in the Tudor and Stuart monarchies, Kevin Sharpe employs a remarkable interdisciplinary approach that draws on literary studies and art history as well as political, cultural, and social history to show how this preoccupation with public representation met the challenge of dealing with the aftermath of Cromwell's interregnum and Charles II's restoration, and how the irrevocably changed cultural landscape was navigated by the sometimes astute yet equally fallible Stuart monarchs and their successors.

Through the pages of "Adam's Rib Disorder" Deborah takes us on the roller coaster ride of her life. In down to earth, conversational prose, she guides us through the struggles of her life: child molestation, adultery, spousal abuse, two failed marriages, a cheating husband, her battle with cancer, and raising three children, all the while proving that even against the toughest of life's challenges - through tears, laughter, and perseverance - that with the strength of God all things can be overcome. This book will open the eyes of those who continue to walk in darkness. Don't be fooled, there is NO excuse for abuse of ANY kind. Written amid the turmoil it describes, this book honestly and immediately recounts Deborah's discovery of strength through God in a time when survival seemed almost impossible. In her time of emptiness when she realized that she could no longer survive on her own she finally turned to God instead of man. Deborah's memoir reveals how her eyes were opened and helps us understand, with her, that man had none of the answers she needed and that she would find wholeness and victory only through God.

Joy A. Schroeder offers the first in-depth exploration of the biblical story of Deborah, an authoritative judge, prophet, and war leader. For centuries, Deborah's story has challenged readers' traditional assumptions about the place of women in society. Schroeder shows how Deborah's story has fueled gender debates throughout history. An examination of the prophetess's journey through nearly two thousand years of Jewish and Christian interpretation reveals how the biblical account of Deborah was deployed against women, for women, and by women who aspired to leadership roles in religious communities and society. Numerous women-and men who supported women's aspirations to leadership-used Deborah's narrative to justify female claims to political and religious authority. Opponents to women's public leadership endeavored to define Deborah's role as "private" or argued that she was a divinely authorized exception, not to be emulated by future generations of women. Deborah's Daughters provides crucial new insight into the history of women in Judaism and Christianity, and into women's past and present roles in the church, synagogue, and society.

Judges: A Theological Commentary for Preachers engages hermeneutics for preaching, employing theological exegesis that enables the preacher to utilize all the units of the letter to craft effective sermons. This commentary unpacks the crucial link between Scripture and application: the theology of each preaching text (i.e., what the author is doing with what he is saying). Judges is divided into fourteen preaching units and the theological focus of each is delineated. The overall theological trajectory or theme of the book deals with the failure of leadership in the community of God's people. Since God's people are all called to be leaders in some arena, to some degree, in some fashion, the lessons of Judges are applicable to all Christians. The specific theological thrust of each unit is captured in this commentary, making possible a sequential homiletical movement through each pericope of Judges. While the primary goal of the commentary is to take the preacher from text to theology, it also provides two sermon outlines for each of the twelve preaching units of Judges. The unique approach of this work results in a theology-for-preaching commentary that promises to be useful for anyone teaching through Judges with an emphasis on application.
