On her Declaration Day, a day meant for celebration and happiness, Glinda’s peaceful life in Oz is shattered when her mother is imprisoned for practicing forbidden Magic. As she is ripped from her home by a fearsome bounty hunter sent by Aphidina, the Witch of the South, Glinda soon uncovers a startling truth: the Oz she’s always known is not good and right—it’s a world governed by the wickedest of the wicked, overrun with tyranny, corruption, and dark power. And Glinda’s mother? She is actually a high-ranking member of a secret society whose mission is to overthrow the four Wicked Witches and set the stage for the return of the rightful ruler of Oz. With the help of a feisty, purple-haired girl named Locasta, Glinda sets across the unforgiving landscape to rescue her mother.

All those who live “Over the Hill on the Yellow Brick Road” are growing older and figuring out where they belong in the world. In this whimsical collection of adult conversations, silliness is woven around the heartfelt thoughts and painful feelings we have as we begin to wrinkle and crinkle. The conversations take place in an allegorical land, where The Old Woman Who Lives in a Shoe is now an empty nester and has mixed feelings about downsizing to a sandal. The aging Tooth Fairy talks about slowing down and becoming an Implant Fairy. A five-hundred-year-old tree still wants to feel part of the world, though he’s too fragile to carry birds on his branches, and a loaf of stale bread faces age discrimination and searches for ways to continue to bring out the best in herself. Each conversation strikes a brilliant balance between humor and spirituality.

The book, All The Pastor’s Men: The Associate Minister in The Black Church Setting is a must for pastors and associate ministers in African American Churches. There have been virtually no instruction manuals written for African American associate ministers by either clergy or laity. Even though the circumstances in autonomous churches differ, much of what happens in ministry between pastors and parishioners and the associate minister is more or less linked together in most African American Churches. All The Pastors Men is written in detail and provides many solutions to problem that transpire between pastors and associate ministers as well as between parishioners and associate ministers. Included in this book are job descriptions, covenants, and a multitude of information that has been used by the author in his local church, as well as information that will help the associate minister in his preaching, devotional time, family life, and in various area of ministry. Hopefully it will help to create better understanding and relationships between pastors and associate ministers everywhere.

As one of the last remaining Munchkins, Betty Ann Bruno has had aninside look at the legendary land of Oz, and has traveled her ownYellow Brick Road well beyond that rainbow. At 5, she was directed in a film by John Ford. At 12, she was the fulltime organist in a Catholic church, where she was mentored by a ex-seminarian who tried repeatedly to molest her. As an adult she worked for the CIA.She then became Oakland's first female, Asian-American TV reporter, where she talked a notorious drug dealer into doing an on-camera profile before he later threatened to kill her. She survived the 1991 Oakland Hills Firestorm that burned 3,000 homes (including hers), and described the scene live on national TV after barely escaping with her life. There's a lot more, including her exploration of the spiritual mysteries she calls "life after life." Through it all is her struggle with her ethnicity and her ultimate acceptance of herself by founding Hula Mai, a Hawaiian dance company. It's a wise and honest account of a very eventful journey and a riveting rea
