A Christian's journey is not always easy. Life as a trucker on the road is not easy either. There are long, lonely hours, unpredictable storms, winding roads that never seem to end, and sometimes it's easy to forget God in the midst of it all. But God is faithful, the theme of this inspiring daily devotional. In this book, Chaplains Bunny and Blonnie Gregory share ways to beat the highway blues with stories of the miracles that they have experienced while ministering to truckers onboard Sheneeda (because she needa lot of love, just like the rest of us), their mobile chapel pulled by their Kenworth truck, and inside truck stops all across the country. Each devotion offers a Bible verse to reflect on, a short story, a real-life application, and a prayer for readers. There are devotions on faith, kindness, prayer, and more. Some are humorous and some are a little more serious, but each one offers hope and encouragement for truckers on the long road ahead and shows that in the end, we're all Trucking for Jesus. Chaplains Bunny and Blonnie Gregory have traveled the U.S. highways coast to coast with their mobile chapel since 1975, dedicating their lives to ministering to the truckers and to all others who have come aboard their church on wheels. When not on the road, the two live in Virginia.
A mother and her child, lost and then found again after four decades: this extraordinary story of love, loss, and reunion is told in alternating voices by the two women, each relating her own powerful experience. For the mother, its the tale of an unhappy marriage followed by betrayal, a pregnancy of uncertain paternity, and the heartrending decision to give up her newborn. The daughters search begins 40 years later, as she slowly, painstakingly, stitches together her story. These intertwined tales give us two unforgettable points of view of a remarkable journey-and of the multiple meanings of motherhood.
The journey continues. At the conclusion of The Kept Ones: The Beginning Years, our hearts were left hurting for the beloved members of DeBarge. Their hardscrabble life and fast-paced journey toward destiny continues as the members plunge deep into a world of fame and excess. Seeking to become Motown R & B recording artists, the quintet prepares to leave memories of their abusive childhood behind. The story is eloquently voiced by lone female member, eldest sibling as well as singer/songwriter/producer of “A Dream,” Bunny DeBarge. The Kept Ones: The Fame Years unselfishly leads the reader down memory lane with the ups and downs as well as the highs and lows of the entertainment industry. Bunny DeBarge unapologetically gives her audience the inside scoop into Motown’s mega machine, a true taste of the music industry in the late ’70s and ’80s and what our favorite group was really like when the spotlight finally dimmed. Through her eyes, the reader gets to rub shoulders with legendary rhythm and blues and soul and pop artists backstage and onstage at the infamous Motown 25. The highlight and low point of the quintet’s career came with their biggest hit to date, “Rhythm of the Night.” Using their signature vocals, DeBarge beautifully harmonized the famous words “forget about the worries on your mind.” Yet they had no idea the worries awaiting them once they exited the stage. The Kept Ones: The Fame Years details unforeseen twists and roadblocks along the road of success, which sends them spiraling into a hedonistic lifestyle. Even through hurt and the loss of fame, Bunny DeBarge keeps it 100 percent real by unmasking all pride and ego. With remarkable strength, which has helped her overcome many of life’s obstacles, she continues to bare the depths of her heart, mind, and soul to her treasured and beloved fan base.

A Poetry Book Society Spring Special Commendation 2024 In the archives of the Houghton Library at Harvard blazes the incandescent work of V.R. 'Bunny' Lang (1924–56), the American poet and playwright whose name has been all but erased from literary history. The fiery nerve centre of the literary scene around mid-century Harvard, and best friend of the iconic New York School poet Frank O'Hara – who referred to her as 'one of our finest poets' – Lang herself has languished in the shadows of American poetry for too long. This book brings into print some of Lang's most startling, strange, and beautiful poetry, much of which has never been published before, drawing her into the spotlight at last. It includes an editor's introduction by scholar and writer Rosa Campbell, on Lang's fascinating and often hilariously eccentric life, devastatingly early death, and her rightful place in the canon of twentieth-century American poetry. The Miraculous Season, published in Lang's centenary year, is a revelation of the true breadth and brilliance of her poetry, rediscovered and made available in print for the first time since 1975.
