Story
Two dozen select prayer poems to learn from and live with. Poetry and prayer are closely related. We often look to poets to give language to our deepest hopes, fears, losses - and prayers. Poets slow us down. They teach us to stop and go in before we go on. They play at the edges of mystery, holding a tension between line and sentence, between sense and reason, between the transcendent, and the deeply, comfortingly familiar. When Poets Pray contains thoughtful meditations by Marilyn McEntyre on choice poems/prayers and poems about prayer.

"Perhaps God isn't giving me the plan because He wants to be the plan." This was the aha moment for Mike Donehey after years of wrestling with his obsession to know God's specific plans for his life. He came to the realization that waiting for absolute certainty from God before making decisions may seem uberspiritual, but it can lead to a life of intense stress, paralyzing fear, and crushing regret - just the opposite of the freedom granted to those living a Christ-filled life.

Publisher's summary
The Mighty Cross Gospel Singers have maintained a strong presence. The founder, Felton L. Holmes, steered the ship through the tumultuous early 1960s. This era was defined by some of the most contentious periods in American history—a time marked by the Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War, protests, and the emergence of a generation gap. It was within these challenging times that the need for inspiration was paramount in sustaining weary hearts.
When circumstances grew problematic, finding solace in God's word and deriving encouragement from uplifting worship songs became essential. Gospel music has an enduring history deeply intertwined with the African American Church, spanning back centuries. This musical tradition has continually offered praise and enlightenment to the masses. The Mighty Cross Gospel Singers, a quartet ensemble, played a significant role in conveying evangelical messages through rhythmic southern gospel songs. These melodies served as a contributing force in conveying the teachings of God. Notably, Felton L. Holmes would offer captivating messages before his performances.
Observe as Felton gracefully passes through the aisle of the church, while engaging with each individual present; thus, entertains with unwavering fervor, his voice resonating as he delicately wipes the beads of perspiration from his forehead. Moreover, his customary approach involves weaving many poignant narratives before enthralling the audience with his melodious compositions.This literary work intricately explores the pilgrimage of Felton L. Holmes and his quartet group. The Mighty Cross Singers as they navigated the path through an impressive musical journey, prominently displayed a plethora of inspirational melodies bestowed upon the listeners. Explore and witness the songs they sang over the passage of time.

Story
For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. Amazingly, it seemed, evil finally had a name. Please note: This work contains descriptions of violent crime and sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Best-selling author Bryan Burrough recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer. In this chilling tale, Burrough raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.
