ABOUT THE BOOK: Chosen to Be a Minister's Wife provides a candid and enlightening look into the life and ministry of Joyce Rogers, wife of the late Dr. Adrian Rogers.

We grew closer to God and to each other over those years, but it wasn't always roses.

About the Book: One morning Joyce Rogers witnessed a breathtaking sunrise. She was captivated by God's handiwork. Truly the heavens do declare the glory of God, just as the psalmist said. She could almost hear God saying to her, "Behold!" The more Joyce praised God for such a magnificent work of art, the more God reminded her of the many occasions when she and her late husband, Dr. Adrian Rogers, had experienced God's glory and magnificent creation. Inspired by this moving experience, Joyce began a study of the word behold in her personal quiet times with the Lord. Over and over again she found that the scriptures direct us to "behold" the glory and work of the Lord-to gaze upon them and consider them deeply. During this time, Joyce reflected on the many personal experiences through which God graciously allowed her and Adrian to behold His majesty and glory. Mrs. Rogers' intimate reflections ultimately became this volume, entitled simply, Behold! **** About the Author: Joyce Rogers is an author, speaker, and wife of the late Dr. Adrian Rogers, pastor for thirty-two years of the well-known Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis, Tennessee, and the three-term president of the Southern Baptist Convention. A pioneer of women's ministry in the Southern Baptist Convention and a Bible teacher for sixty years, Joyce loves encouraging and challenging others in their Christian walk through speaking to ministers' wives, widows, and women of all ages.

Adrian Rogers is one of America's most respected Bible teachers, having communicated to millions through his "Love Worth Finding" radio ministry and as the former senior pastor of the Bellevue Baptist Church near Memphis, Tennessee. Adrian helped guide the Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Evangelical denomination in North America, through treacherous and troubling waters of theological liberalism and doctrinal heresy and back to the foundational truths that Christ's church was founded on and has stood upon for centuries.
Joyce Rogers has walked the path of widowhood since late 2005 when her husband of fifty-four years, renowned pastor Adrian Rogers, passed away. Grace for the Widow is her firsthand account of how God holds a woman’s hand on this journey through the fog of loss. Her insights address both the profound and practical. Rogers recounts her grief in touching detail and how she called on the Lord and His promises from Scripture for strength. She also encourages readers with useful tips on staying healthy, keeping a positive attitude, reaching out to friends, and recognizing God’s continuing plan for those who have lost their husband. Poignantly, Grace for the Widow concludes with two helpful appendices–"The Names of God" by Adrian Rogers and Joyce’s own "The Treasure of God’s Word.
Your phone is always ringing; your neighbors are silently pleading; your church is beckoning; and your community and school are begging you to respond to their needs. You want to minister to and influence those around you. But what can you do? What should you do? Everything is calling, but are you called to everything? Within God's plan for women is the secret to the wise use of your time, talents, spiritual gifts, and influence--and thus to true fulfillment. Joyce Rogers shares that secret through a study of the written Word of God, which points to Jesus--the Living Word--as the supreme example of equality of worth and submission to divine authority. Through it you'll see how God desires you to influence others and seek His wisdom to achieve a well-prioritized and balanced life. Whether you're married or single, these words will encourage you with reflections on God's wisdom and authority, and will challenge you to follow in the footsteps of your Savior.
Are you guilty of small-minded thinking? From either a natural or spiritual standpoint, do you tend to be timid and afraid to put yourself out there because it's too risky? Do you default to your comfort zone due to fear of things not working out in the end for you? Are you so afraid of failure that you won't even try? It's time to silence the fear, doubt and unbelief that plague us and choose to be bold and confident in the strength of the Lord, believing and living out His promises to us. It's time to GO BiG!

Melinda Camber Porter interview with Joyce Carol Oates took place in 1987 at her Princeton University Office at the time of the publication of her book On Boxing. They noted it as a highly unusual topic for a female writer. Joyce Carol Oates grew up at an early age attending boxing matches with her father and thus the book. Their conversations ranged from boxing to her writings, writers, and her writing process and styles. This title includes the differences noted in American and European writers. In 1987, Joyce Carol Oates notes the American infatuation with celebrities and names as examples Henry Ford, PT Barnum and Donald Trump In the Foreward Cathy Suter, writer and artist, notes the metaphor for the creative writing process and writer's block described by Joyce Carol Oates, when she compares it to, "mowing very wet, chunky grass with a hand mower, pushing through big patches of lawn and having to go over it again and again, until getting it just right." Melinda Camber Porter passed away of ovarian cancer in 2008 and left a significant body of work in art, journalism, and literature. The Melinda Camber Porter Archive wishes to share these conversations with the public to ensure the continuation and expansion of the ideas expressed in her creative works.

Ulysses Dubliners A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man Exiles Chamber Music "There was no hope for him this time: it was the third stroke. Night after night I had passed the house (it was vacation time) and studied the lighted square of window: and night after night I had found it lighted in the same way, faintly and evenly. If he was dead, I thought, I would see the reflection of candles on the darkened blind for I knew that two candles must be set at the head of a corpse. He had often said to me: "I am not long for this world," and I had thought his words idle. Now I knew they were true. Every night as I gazed up at the window I said softly to myself the word paralysis. It had always sounded strangely in my ears, like the word gnomon in the Euclid and the word simony in the Catechism. But now it sounded to me like the name of some maleficent and sinful being. It filled me with fear, and yet I longed to be nearer to it and to look upon its deadly work.
An omnibus edition containing three acclaimed works by the author of Ulysses features fifteen short stories from Dubliners, including "The Dead," as well as his classic novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and Chamber Music, an anthology of thirty-six lyrical poems.
