Breaking the Soul of a Folk

By: Jonathan Burey,Shirley Burey

This book/play was written to give those who seek their purpose in society some hope to cope in a world that's so unevenly divided. Life becomes difficult for those who understand their footprints must be left in the sands to remain hopeful.We wrote Breaking the Soul of a Folk from our own experience. This book/play gives a face to the homeless and explains why we, as a civilized nation, should care. We added our poetry and illustrations to give our readers a fuller picture of the concept(s) that we are trying to convey. Finally, we want our readers to UNDERSTAND that equality is for every woman and man as we continue to fight until leaders set their standards and qualifications to advance all races regardless of their previous economic condition.So, we included our play entitled In Search of My Soul to show our readers why we feel that we must stop designing standards to exclude the homeless and stop allowing programs funding that treat them as if they are criminals. What our ancestor wrote earlier still holds true today. This is that the homeless deserve the right to be treated with dignity and be afforded the right to seek their individual purpose. You see, even the homeless will have to come and be judged; for one thing is for certain and that's DEATH, which is everyone's FINAL CURTAIN.

Beyond Control

A Mutual Respect Approach to Protest Crowd - Police Relations

By: Shirley Paré,Vern Neufeld Redekop

What is refreshing about Beyond Control is the vision for the kind of society in which protestors and police recognize their mutual humanity as well as how both are needed for a democratic society to function well. ' From the Foreword by Archbishop Desmond Tutu How can large protest crowds be better and more respectfully managed by police? This topical book applies the principles of community-based conflict resolution to the policing of large crowds, suggesting a completely new approach that moves away from the discourse of rabble-rousing mobs towards negotiated management, and a paradigm of mutual respect for protesters as principled dissenters and for police as non-repressive agents of public order. Both are needed, the authors argue, in order for democracy to flourish.

Kinderculture

The Corporate Construction of Childhood

By: Shirley R. Steinberg

America is a corporatized society defined by a culture of consumerism, and the youth market is one of the groups that corporations target most. By marketing directly to children, through television, movies, radio, video games, toys, books, and fast food, advertisers have produced a 'kinderculture'. In this eye-opening book, editor Shirley R. Steinberg reveals the profound impact that our purchasing-obsessed culture has on our children and argues that the experience of childhood has been reshaped into something that is prefabricated. Analyzing the pervasive influence of these corporate productions, top experts in the fields of education, sociology, communications, and cultural studies contribute incisive essays that students, parents, educators, and general readers will find insightful and entertaining. Including seven new chapters, this third edition is thoroughly updated with examinations of the icons that shape the values and consciousness of today's children, including Twilight, True Blood, and vampires, hip hop, Hannah Montana, Disney, and others.

It's Never Too Late to Date

By: Shirley Friedenthal,Howard Eisenberg

The (Soon-To-Be) Best Selling Mature Singles Dating Book Too many women in their 50s and beyond have given up on ever meeting Mr. Practically Perfect. But a small inner voice wonders, "Will I always have to go to bed with a book? Responding to that voice, the authors' inspiring message is, "It's never too late. We did it. So can you. Here's how! DATING WISDOM 101 Turn off your Shy Button. Shrinking violets bloom unseen. No need to despair if your hourglass figure has gained half an hour. It's never too late to lose weight. The only thing you get from sitting around waiting for romance to happen is creases in your skirt. When it comes to choosing women, men are as shallow as your bathtub. If you don't like what you see in the mirror, don't break the mirror. Your cup isn't half-empty. It's just waiting to be filled. Start pouring! Most men are as attracted to cleavage as toddlers are to electric sockets and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Smile. Smile. Smile. Why do we love babies? Their wonderful smiles make up for what's in their diapers. Make a habit of going to bed with comfort food, and the only thing you'll find beside you when you wake up in the morning is a bunch of crumbs. It's better to eat breakfast with the morning paper than with the wrong man. PAGES FROM AN Rx PAD Want to fly? You've got to flap your wings. Never walk your dog in a tattered T-shirt. Smile. Smile. Smile. Persist. Persist. Persist. Play the cyberspace numbers game. Network as if you were NBC. Go where the guys go. If at first you don't succeed, it's his fault. He doesn't have to be Richard Gere (though that would be nice). How to deal with the guy who's shy. Put on your Oprah hat. Don't endlessly seek the spouse you've lost. Be friends before you're lovers. Teach him about the birds, the bees, and Viagra. Don't keep what you're thinking a secret. Sex is wonderful, but it isn't everything. Be very sure before you call the moving man.

He Lifts Me Up

Shirley's Soliloquies

By: Shirley Hudson

He Lifts Me Up is a collection of soliloquies composed by Shirley Hudson. Interacting with happenings in her life, she finds analogies that speak to the territory of Christian experience. Seeking to provide greater practical and devotional application, she has assembled an index in the back of the book listing the various scriptural passages that figured in each meditation. The soliloquies were sent out on a weekly basis via email to an ever-increasing audience. Many who received them expressed appreciation and suggested that they be published in book form in order to have them at hand and to share them with a wider audience. Her first hundred meditations were published in a book entitled He Awakens Me. Her second volume was entitled, Meditations of My Heart. This volume contains her third hundred. The author hopes and prays that they will not only reach a wider audience, but that they will prove to be helpful in promoting that quality of life that truly honors and glorifies her Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Hoover's Nightmare

A Special Agent Gone "Native"

By: Wade Shirley

In creating the world’s premier law enforcement agency, J. Edgar Hoover built a gigantic bureaucratic machine resembling a slow-moving freight train, which was kept on his undeviating track by volumes of manuals containing rules and regulations beyond imagination. Each car of this lumbering snakelike apparatus had a function, but fastened loosely to the rear was a lonely straggling caboose known as the One-man Resident Agent. Hoover and his sycophants in the corner offices on Pennsylvania Avenue hated the concept of the one-man office and looked at them as necessary evils. They were needed to get the work done but hated as they were too far removed to be effectively micromanaged, and as they were out of sight, they were wrongly assumed to be screwing off. Hoover’s Nightmare: A Special Agent Gone Native is like no other book ever written from within the ranks of the FBI. Penned as a novel to allow the author flexibility, the reader is taken on an exciting, informative, dramatic, and often humorous journey through a part of US history that is, unfortunately, rapidly being swallowed up and lost down the memory hole of time. As the reader travels with the main character, Agent McWade, he will experience Indian wars, crazy kidnapping scenarios, Behavioral Science Unit experiences, unimaginable sex crimes, heart-wrenching tragedy, and a host of other unparalleled real-life cases. All this through the eyes of the agent who became Hoover’s nightmare. Read and enjoy the book that took the FBI well over a year to approve and allow to be published.

Claiming the Courageous Middle

Daring to Live and Work Together for a More Hopeful Future

By: Shirley A. Mullen

Today's political and cultural polarization has led to suspicion and animosity in our churches, our workplaces, and even our families. It has also led to a false sense of available options. But there is a better way. Shirley Mullen invites readers to claim the powerful, redemptive potential of the courageous middle. Far from being a place of bland averaging, moral cowardice, wobbling indecisiveness, or lazy indifference, the courageous middle is a place where thoughtful individuals work with urgency to foster attentive rather than dismissive listening in order to garner what is true and praiseworthy even from those with whom they disagree. Their Christian faith, which makes it impossible for them to align themselves fully with one side or the other, uniquely equips them to call their communities to imagine a more hopeful, grace-filled future. This book offers a Christian theological framework for the work of "middle space" drawn from the Old and New Testaments. It also includes practical advice on how to prepare for this work, examples of those who have called their communities to alternatives beyond binary options, and discussion questions.

Front Lines

Political Plays by American Women (Large Print 16pt)

Ever since this country came into being, women have waged battles for rights in the pages of their plays, and on the stages where those plays were performed. - FROM THE PREFACE BY SHIRLEY LAURO Front Lines is a pathbreaking collection of the most important, critically acclaimed plays written by the country's leading contemporary female playwrights. Including seven full scripts and accompanying materials, Front Lines provides both major examples of the playwright's craft and an essential introduction to the politically inspired work of female dramatists of the twenty-first century. Here is Jessica Blank's widely heralded The Exonerated (written with Erik Jensen), based on interviews with American prisoners incarcerated for crimes they did not commit. Also included is Nilaja Sun's outstanding No Child . . ., winner of the Outer Critics Circle's 2007 John Gassner Award for Best New Play - a funny, stirring one-woman show centering on an inner-city teacher's success at involving her rebellious students in their own education by putting on a play. Rounding out the collection are Emily Mann's Mrs. Packard, Paula Vogel's Hot 'n' Throbbing, Shirley Lauro's Clarence Darrow's Last Trial, Quiara Alegra Hudes's Eliot: A Soldier's Fugue, and Cindy Cooper's Words of Choice.

While his thoughts of her stray from the boardroom to the bedroom, someone else has plans to make him pay for past deeds. And Erika is the pawn he’ll use to force Michael into his crosshairs. If they survive, will they be able to love again? One Christmas Night Elizabeth Gregory’s world fell apart one Christmas, and she never wants to see the man who caused it–her ex-fiance, James Hill. He might be boy-wonder to the investment world, but to her he’s the man involved in her sister’s death. Yet as the holiday season happily paints the streets in the nation’s Capitol red and green, Elizabeth is standing on his doorstep. For her it’s the worse time of the year. But James makes her a wager – one she can’t refuse. James found and lost the love of his life, but providence brings back to him during the holiday season. This time he’ll never let her go–even if he has to convince her he’s what she wants. Can they find magic on this one Christmas night?

On the Run

By: Shirley Gerald Ware

After many years of not knowing what happened to her dad, Lula Mae Smith Gifford is finally reunited with him. She can’t believe her eyes as he gathers her in a happy embrace. “I wish I could have been there for you, Alex, and your mom. I was held in captivity for one year. After I escaped, my life had to be lived On the Run. If I had returned to my family, we all would have been killed. One day I will tell you the story of my life, but for now, I must get you to a safe place.” Dad looked so old. Lula Mae could tell that he carried a lot of weight on his shoulders. After driving for hours, they parked in front of a rundown house. Although the house was in the middle of no man’s land, the inside wasn’t that bad. “I know this is not what you’re used to, but for the time being we have to live this way. Get some rest and tomorrow we will discuss the plan I have for the two of us.” Lula Mae now answers to the name Cynthia Carter. Dad’s new name is Peter Carter. “We have been robbed of our names, making me more determined than ever to unravel the truth about my dad.”

Last Act

The Final Years and Emerging Legacy of Ronald Reagan

By: Craig Shirley

His name in American politics is more cited than any other president. Both the Republican and Democratic parties are radically different today, mainly as a result of Ronald Reagan and the force of his ideas. No twentieth century president shaped the American political landscape so profoundly. Craig Shirley’s Last Act is the important final chapter in the life of Reagan that no one has thus far covered. It’s the kind of book that widens our understanding of American history and of the presidency and the men who occupied it. To tell Reagan’s story, Craig has secured the complete, exclusive, and enthusiastic support of the Reagan Foundation and Library and spent considerable time there reviewing sealed files and confidential information. Cast in a grand and compelling narrative style, Last Act contains interesting and heretofore untold anecdotes about Reagan, Mrs. Reagan, their pleasure at retirement, the onslaught of the awful Alzheimer’s and how he and Mrs. Reagan dealt with the diagnosis, the slow demise, the extensive plans for a state funeral, the outpouring from the nation, which stunned the political establishment, the Reagan legacy, and how his shadow looms more and more over the Republican Party, Washington, the culture of America, and the world.

Shirley Wells The Dylan Scott Mystery Series Collection 1

An Anthology

By: Shirley Wells

This series is getting stronger with every book."—Dear Author on Silent Witness This new collection includes the first 5 titles in The Dylan Scott Mystery series by Shirley Wells. PRESUMED DEAD Dismissed in disgrace from the police force for assaulting a suspect, Dylan Scott has no job, his wife has thrown him out and—worse luck—his mother has moved in. So when Holly Champion begs him to investigate the disappearance of her mother thirteen years ago, he can't say no, even though it means taking up residence in the dreary Lancashire town of Dawson's Clough for the duration. Although the local police still believe Anita Champion took off for a better life, Dylan's inquiries turn up plenty of potential suspects. But one sleepy Northern town can keep a lot of secrets. DEAD SILENT Ten months ago, Samantha Hunt set off for work…and was never seen again. Dylan Scott wants to believe the young woman's alive—by all accounts Sam was a lovely girl, devoted to her younger stepsisters, well-liked at her work, in love with her boyfriend. But as usual not everything is as it seems in sleepy Dawson's Clough. Sam's boyfriend has a violent past. She may have been having an affair with her boss. And Dylan can't shake the feeling that her stepfather is hiding something. Who wanted to silence Sam, and why? SILENT WITNESS After his ex-wife bled to death in a bathtub covered in his fingerprints, the case against Aleksander Kaminski seemed open and shut. Though sentenced to life in prison, he swears he's innocent, a claim supported by his current wife. Having been unjustly jailed himself, P.I. Dylan Scott is compelled to pursue the case; if there's even a small chance the man is innocent, he has to help. The other obvious suspect—the victim's second husband—has a watertight alibi. But Dylan has a strong hunch that as usual, there's more going on than meets the eye in Dawson's Clough. But if Kaminski didn't murder his childhood sweetheart, who did? DEAD CALM Detective Dylan Scott thinks cruising well above the Arctic Circle in November is nothing short of madness; he agrees to the Norwegian holiday to keep his wife and mother happy. At least the biggest problem he'll have to deal with is boredom. But that boredom quickly dissipates when the unpleasant elderly woman in the neighboring cabin is found dead. Everyone thinks Hanna Larsen had a heart attack. Everyone except Dylan. Dylan is convinced there's a killer aboard the Midnight Sun—a killer who may strike again. DYING ART Dylan Scott vowed never to return to the dreary town of Dawson's Clough. But one visit from a beautiful ex-lover and he's back in Lancashire, investigating a possible murder. The police think Prue Murphy died during a burglary gone wrong, but her sister isn't so sure—and neither is Dylan. After all, the killer overlooked the only valuable thing in Prue's flat. Who could have wanted the quirky young woman dead, and why? Dylan's search for answers takes him to France, where he discovers Prue's family didn't know her as well as they thought they did. And the more he digs, the more secrets he unearths—secrets someone would kill to keep buried.

Silicon Embrace

By: John Shirley

A near-future where technology and ancient spiritual secrets merge into something very strange... something as strange as a silicon embrace. America has suffered ecological breakdown and the Second Civil War. But the balkanization of the U.S.—along with humanity’s secret history and what has really been going on in Area 51 and UFOs for decades—are all part of a startling convergence which will transform humanity... or destroy it. * * * Reviews: “John Shirley has written the best novel of his career. Mature yet youthfully indignant, spiritually insightful yet carnally streetwise, his new book is aboil with ideas and action, full of keen-eyed speculations for the future and daring revisions of history.”—Asimov’s “Silicon Embrace is at once sly, sad eloquent, gonzo, mystic, surreal, and all-American, mixing the pulpiest Sci-Fi with true literary sophistication. A new gem from John Shirley.—Locus “Angels and aliens alike figure in this metaphysical SF novel from proto-cyberpunker Shirley, who here throws UFOs, black helicopters, several major biblical figures and spiritual transcendence into the early 21st century... it's clear that the author is having fun tying together disparate UFO, conspiracy and New Age myths; readers will have fun watching him do the tying, too.”—Publishers Weekly
