A native of Bristol, Tennessee, Teacher Debbie Youngman tells about her career as an educator and librarian.

Richard Brantley’s culminating monograph knits intellectual and spiritual autobiography with literary criticism. His measuring of faith in experience (empiricism) versus the experience of faith (evangelicalism)—fostered by parents steeped in literature—prefigured his career-long approach. A combination of personal commitment and professional dynamism sets a model for subjective as well as objective interpretation. Grappling with the sources of both taste and judgment seems called for in these dangerous times. Brantley’s memoir/lit-crit hybrid delivers art and life alike. What Others...

It is a story of a reluctant learner/leader and how his lived experiences, sometimes referenced as “sword in the stone” moments, have contributed to his life’s purpose. His life transformation from average to spectacular did not come without its share of crucial and heartfelt moments. Dr. Jenkins took a pair of things that many said could never coexist, hip-hop and “traditional” education, and made the melding of the two his life’s work. In To the Beat ...

Some fish are meant to be caught. Others are meant to slip out of your hands and flop around on the boat deck of life.
