Passion for Tea

Its History, Its Future, Its Health Benefits

By: Beverly Rorem

During the late 1980's, the city of New Orleans became plagued by a drug epidemic that took hold of nearly every major city in the United States, crack cocaine. The ninth ward section of New Orleans was by no means spared. The drug affected both young and old, and propelled the city to the infamous title of 'murder capitol of the world'. House of Killers delves into a world where the laws no longer apply to its citizens. It tells the story of Ben Holland and how he rose to the top of the city's drug trade. A fictional story, House of Killers peels back the curtains and gives you an inside look into the world of an urban drug organization in the city of New Orleans. Ben and his friends embark on a voyage of torture, murder and mayhem that began in 1989 and they ruled supreme for ten years. Follow Ben and his friends as they wreak havoc on the streets of New Orleans by killing their competition, paying off cops, and using every dirty trick they can conjour up to accomplish their goal: To retire from the drug game young and rich. Blinded by a lust for money, power, and respect they soon become embedded in events beyond their control that threaten all that they have worked for. House of Killers is the first novel written by Tony Dewayne Johnson, and it is the first in a trilogy that curtails the violent, turbulent life of Ben Holland, the people that shaped his life and the revealation of a shocking secret that will send Ben Holland on a mission that will change his life forever, or get him killed in the process! Stay tuned.

Hildegard of Bingen, Gospel Interpreter

By: Beverly Mayne Kienzle

In Hildegard of Bingen, Gospel Interpreter, Beverly Mayne Kienzle presents and acquaints readers with Hildegard’s fifty-eight Homilies on the Gospels―a dazzling summa of her theology and the culmination of her visionary insight and scriptural knowledge. Part one probes how a twelfth-century woman became the only known female Gospel interpreter of the Middle Ages. It includes an examination of Hildegard’s epistemology―how she received her basic theological education and how she extended her knowledge through divine revelations and intellectual exchange with her monastic network. Part two expounds on several of Hildegard’s homilies, elucidating the theological brilliance that emanates from the creative exegesis she shapes to develop profound, interweaving themes. Hildegard eschewed the linear, repetitive explanations of her predecessors and created an organically coherent body of thought, rich with interconnected spiritual symbols. Part three deals with the wide-ranging reception of Hildegard’s works and her inspiring legacy, extending from theology to medicine. Her prophetic voice resounds in the morally urgent areas of creation theology and the corruption of church and political leadership. Hildegard decries human disregard for the earth and its lust for power. Instead, she advocates the unifying capacity of nature, “viridity,” that fosters the interconnectedness of all creation.

High-Quality Early Learning for a Changing World

What Educators Need to Know and Do

By: Beverly Falk

This is a concise overview of the fundamentals of teaching in early childhood settings (pre-K–2). Beginning with what the research tells us about how young children develop and learn, Falk shows how to create learning environments, plan, teach, and assess in ways that support children’s optimal development. “This text is a portrait of what it means to be an early childhood professional and to take seriously the job of establishing meaningful relationships with children, families, and professional colleagues.” —From the Foreword by Jacqueline Jones, Foundation for Child Development “No less than a manual for creating growth-enhancing experiences in early childhood, Beverly Falk has distilled years of experience into practical advice and well-researched lessons.” —Samuel J. Meisels, founding executive director, Buffett Early Childhood Institute, University of Nebraska “Brilliantly challenges us to translate what we know into what we do in order to improve school and life outcomes for ALL children.” —Maurice Sykes, Early Childhood Leadership Institute “Falk brings us critical knowledge about early childhood in this superb book.” —Ann Lieberman, Stanford Center for Opportunity Policy in Education

Radical Wisdom

A Feminist Mystical Theology

By: Beverly Lanzetta

Lanzetta illuminates the transformative potential of the classical tradition of women mystics, especially in light of contemporary violence against women around the world. Focusing on the contemplative process as women's journey from oppression to liberation, Lanzetta draws especially on the mysticism of Julian of Norwich and Teresa of Avila. She lays out the contemplative techniques used by mystics to achieve their highest spiritual potential and also investigates how unjust social and political conditions afflict women's souls. Lanzetta identifies a specific historical female mystical path (the via feminina) and draws contemporary conclusions for how women might understand their bodies, their rights, and their ethics.
