Searching for the Truth About Junia

By: Rena Pederson

In The Lost Apostle award-winning journalist Rena Pederson investigates a little known subject in early Christian history—the life and times of the female apostle Junia. Junia was an early convert and leading missionary whose story was “lost” when her name was masculinized to Junias in later centuries. The Lost Apostle unfolds like a well-written detective story, presenting Pederson’s lively search for insight and information about a woman some say was the first female apostle.

Voice and the Young Actor

A workbook and video

By: Rena Cook

Many high school theatre teachers do not have access to intensive voice instruction. Rena's book will fill that void. It is instructive, concise, easy to understand, and most importantly for the high school student, fun. High school teachers will find the book an invaluable voice and acting resource. It would be beneficial to all high school theatre programs to have Voice and the Young Actor as a textbook." Kim Moore, High School Teacher, Colorado There are thousands of students enrolled in school drama classes in yet very often young actors cannot be heard, are culturally encouraged to trail off at the ends of sentences, and habitually use only the lowest pitches of the voice. Drama teachers, frequently ask, "How can I get my students to speak up, to be clear, to articulate?" Voice and the Young Actor is written for the school actor, is inviting in format, language and illustration and offers clear and inspiring instructions. A DVD features 85 mins and 28 filmed voice workshop exercises with the author and two students. These students log their reflections in the book on what they have learned throughout their training and there is space for the reader to do the same. A workbook in format, Voice and the Young Actor provides simple, interactive vocal exercises and shows young performers how to take voice work into acting.

The Right Weigh

The Six Steps to Permanent Weight Loss Used by More Than 100,000 People

By: Rena Greenberg

A unique 40-day, six-step plan for weight control that combines both a practical and spiritual approach to effect permanent waieght loss Rena Greenberg addresses the importance of effecting changes in your diet and activity level—and makes it easy for you to do so—but she emphasizes what most diet books overlook: how to do the inner work necessary to change the very way you think about food. Using self-hypnosis, neuro-linguistic programming, and a technique called “Remembrance,” Rena shows you how to get past the obstacles that have held you back from losing weight and keeping it off. You’ll find yourself naturally craving healthier meals; and being indifferent to, or even repulsed by, unhealthy, fattening, or high-sugar food—all without the need to draw upon willpower to change the way you eat! The Right Weigh teaches you how to change your perceptions of yourself and what you’re eating by tapping in to the vast Source of power within, and reconnecting to your infinite spiritual nature. In this way, the wisest part of yourself guides you to make excellent choices to improve the quality of your life and live healthfully at the mind, body, heart, and spirit levels.

The Book of Israela

The Book of Israela

By: Rena Blumenthal

Jerusalem, 2002: the height of the second intifada. Kobi Benami is a middle-aged psychologist whose life is in shambles. His wife has thrown him out for his casual philandering; his daughter refuses to speak to him; and the new clinic director has placed him on probation for his indifferent work habits. At this desperate juncture, Kobi gets a new patient, Israela, whose story is full of uncanny biblical references, and whose powerful and enigmatic husband, Y, may or may not exist. Israela hasn’t seen Y in months, but she is being stalked by his prophet-like emissaries who span a wide spectrum of Israeli society—Orthodox to secular, right-wing settlers to left-wing urban elites—united only in their harsh condemnation of Israela, fierce devotion to Y, and connection to The Outstretched Arm, a sinister organization purported to be run by Y. As Kobi becomes ensnared in a surreal encounter with the anthropomorphized story of ancient Israel, and increasingly preoccupied with questions about the nature and existence of Y, he is forced to confront his own dysfunctional life patterns, his family’s tragic past, and the endless war that rages around him.

The Girl Before

By: Rena Olsen

In this powerful psychological suspense debut, when a woman’s life is shattered, she is faced with a devastating question: What if everything she thought was normal and good and true...wasn’t? Clara Lawson is torn from her life in an instant. Without warning, her home is invaded by armed men, and she finds herself separated from her beloved husband and daughters. The last thing her husband yells to her is to say nothing. In chapters that alternate between past and present, the novel slowly unpeels the layers of Clara’s fractured life. We see her growing up, raised with her sisters by the stern Mama and Papa G, becoming a poised and educated young woman, falling desperately in love with the forbidden son of her adoptive parents. We see her now, sequestered in an institution, questioned by men and women who call her a different name—Diana—and who accuse her husband of unspeakable crimes. As recollections of her past collide with new revelations, Clara must question everything she thought she knew, to come to terms with the truth of her history and to summon the strength to navigate her future.

Xwelíqwiya

The Life of a Stó:lō Matriarch

By: Rena Point Bolton,Richard Daly

Xwelíqwiya is the life story of Rena Point Bolton, a Stó:lō matriarch, artist, and craftswoman. Proceeding by way of conversational vignettes, the beginning chapters recount Point Bolton's early years on the banks of the Fraser River during the Depression. While at the time the Stó:lō, or Xwélmexw, as they call themselves today, kept secret their ways of life to avoid persecution by the Canadian government, Point Bolton’s mother and grandmother schooled her in the skills needed for living from what the land provides, as well as in the craftwork and songs of her people, passing on a duty to keep these practices alive. Point Bolton was taken to a residential school for the next several years and would go on to marry and raise ten children, but her childhood training ultimately set the stage for her roles as a teacher and activist. Recognizing the urgent need to forge a sense of cultural continuity among the younger members of her community, Point Bolton visited many communities and worked with federal, provincial, and First Nations politicians to help break the intercultural silence by reviving knowledge of and interest in Aboriginal art. She did so with the deft and heartfelt use of both her voice and her hands. Over the course of many years, Daly collaborated with Point Bolton to pen her story. At once a memoir, an oral history, and an “insider” ethnography directed and presented by the subject herself, the result attests both to Daly’s relationship with the family and to Point Bolton’s desire to inspire others to use traditional knowledge and experience to build their own distinctive, successful, and creative lives.

What Is Love?

What Is Love?

By: Rena Hynes

This book is about love and how it impacts our daily life. We were created to love God and our neighbors. Everyone you come in contact with is your neighbor. Do not fail to introduce God to them either by your words or your actions. There is no greater love than a man lay down his life for his friends. We might find that hard to do but Jesus gave up everything, His very life because He loves us. It covers various ways we can express love. Sometimes we misrepresent love by what we say and by what we do. This book gives ideas how to channel your love when faced with confusion or misunderstanding of true love. Love at times, causes you to make some difficult decisions or withstand some harsh realities. However, as you trust God, stand still and watch the salvation of the Lord, you will come through successfully and full of joy. All of this is portrayed in the book of the lives of some faithful people of God, who withstood the test of time and won. My suggestion is that you read this book daily. I started out trying to read from Genesis to Revelation in one year but finished in seven months. You can follow the guide at your pace but discipline yourself to read as much as possible in one day. Then you can choose a verse or so that it will impact you greatly. You can also make notes as you read. When you are finished, go back and read what you wrote. You will find how much you will be blessed.
