Baldacci snorted in disbelief and said something, but a car was roaring up South 16th Street behind him, and he couldn't hear. And suddenly Baldacci was running toward him. He was rooted to the spot; it was well known that his response to the unexpected was glacial and then ill-advised. He watched as Baldacci collided with him. Baldacci shoved him into the recessed doorway of an office building, and then they both watched as an enormous black car tore past the doorway shaving a layer of brick off said building and shooting sparks as it passed. The car slowed only slightly as it caromed off ...

He opened the door and listened, but he couldn't hear anything, not even traffic noise. He wanted to check out the snow, but he had to go to the bathroom first. The bed was between the closet and the door, so he didn't see her until he rounded the bed. “Mom?” She didn't answer. Her eyes were open, and she was looking at him, but she didn't move or say anything. And her face was twisted like she was making a Halloween face. “Mom!” Her face was so white and funny looking. She wouldn't answer him. He knew something was wrong, and that he should help her, but he was afraid. But he was ...

The sun was shining in Gabe's eyes. And his face was being washed with something rough. He opened one eye. A beautiful collie was licking his face and making little moans of concern. The collie's once-lovely coat was now wet, muddy, and tinged slime green by the bumper crop of algae flourishing in the ditch. “Hey, Boy." The collie, heartened by this greeting, wuffed a couple of times and then started barking in earnest. A little boy in a t-shirt and shorts parted the reeds enough to spot him before pulling back. “Come here, Chance!” Chance wuffed but was loathe to leave his new friend...

Bolty, Jennifer's husband, was heading for her office. This did not bode well for Mr. James Nemec. He tried and failed to wipe the smile from his face. Bolty pushed the door open hard enough to slam it against the wall. The glass wobbled and seemed to flex. “Get out.” Bolty was a blond, squat, muscular titan. Nemec was just blond. Still he smirked at Bolty. “I'm a partner. I can go anywhere I like...Bolty.” Which was the wrong thing to say. Bolty grabbed Nemec by the throat and began to pound him against the wall as if he was driving in a nail to hang a painting. Dana started ...

Gabe is an accountant and a curious guy, but he rejects the notion that he's nosy--prying, meddling, intrusive. He will admit that his curiosity and a selfless desire to come to the aid of friends, relatives, coworkers, clients (some of whom he doesn't even like), and various officers of the law (most of whom don't like him and reject his help out of hand) get him into situations. Situations in which he has to figure out who exactly is trying to incinerate, bludgeon, shoot, stab, garrote, or otherwise end him. You might think that the various officers of the law would help out but you'd be ...

They descended the courthouse steps, license in hand, and were walking along facing traffic, what there was of it. An old, white pickup was barreling toward them. The glare on the windshield obscured the driver. Danilo said, “Is Poirier coming to the wedding?” He stopped, and Danilo turned round to face him. “If he is invited, Ochoa, which I assume he is.” Danilo smiled. “I'm not sure that is....” Whatever Danilo was going to say was lost in the roar of the pickup truck which was almost upon them. It swerved onto the broad sidewalk heading straight for them. Danilo was just ...

Through a close exegetical reading of Paul's letters, this volume shows how Paul prioritized moral formation and community-building in his pastoral ministry and placed the practice of communal discernment in churches at the heart of life in the Spirit.
