The pizza business can be murder. Paul Chambers parlayed his philosophy degree into a steady gig--as a delivery driver for Passable Pizza. Following his personal rules for peaceful pizza delivery, Paul is content to read comics, care for his rabbit Spinoza, and hang out with his pizza courier comrades. Then he tries to deliver to a dead guy. Suddenly, everybody is after Paul--the press, the cops, and the bad guys. With the help of his quirky crew of fellow drivers and his spunky, if elderly, best friend, Paul sets out to catch the eye of a comely reporter, catch a break with a pair of suspicious detectives, and catch the villain--before the villain catches him.

A Novel

The New York Times bestseller with more than 1 million copies sold worldwide Inspired by the incredible true story of one Jewish family separated at the start of World War II, determined to survive—and to reunite—We Were the Lucky Ones is a tribute to the triumph of hope and love against all odds. “Love in the face of global adversity? It couldn't be more timely.” —Glamour It is the spring of 1939 and three generations of the Kurc family are doing their best to live normal lives, even as the shadow of war grows closer. The talk around the family Seder table is of new babies and budding romance, not of the increasing hardships threatening Jews in their hometown of Radom, Poland. But soon the horrors overtaking Europe will become inescapable and the Kurcs will be flung to the far corners of the world, each desperately trying to navigate his or her own path to safety. As one sibling is forced into exile, another attempts to flee the continent, while others struggle to escape certain death, either by working grueling hours on empty stomachs in the factories of the ghetto or by hiding as gentiles in plain sight. Driven by an unwavering will to survive and by the fear that they may never see one another again, the Kurcs must rely on hope, ingenuity, and inner strength to persevere. An extraordinary, propulsive novel, We Were the Lucky Ones demonstrates how in the face of the twentieth century’s darkest moment, the human spirit can endure and even thrive.

Shannon Bream

Lessons on Faith from Nine Biblical Families





#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

God always keeps His promises, but not always in the way we expect....

"Have faith" is a phrase we hear all the time. But what does it actually look like to live it out In The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream examines the lives of biblical women to see how God's plans can turn our worlds upside down.

She tells the story of Jochebed, a mother who took enormous risks to protect her son, Moses, from Pharaoh. Could Jochebed have imagined that God's actual design for her son involved flight into exile and danger And yet this was all part of the master plan to deliver Israel from slavery. Another biblical mother, Rebekah, made terrible choices in an attempt to ensure her son's place in history. And a daughter, Michal, struggled to keep her faithless father, Saul, from sin, while battling pride in herself.

Through these stories, Shannon explains the intimate connection between faith and family--and how God's unexpected agenda can redefine the way we think about family. Not all of these mothers and daughters in the Bible were paragons of virtue. Like us, they were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best. While some heard God's voice, others chose their own paths. Through the lens of their imperfections, we can see how God used their stories to bring about His divine plans. He's still doing the same work in our lives today.

The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak shows that faith is more often a twisting road than a straight line. Yet, as the stories of biblical families attest, at the end of these journeys lies greater peace and joy than we could ever imagine.

Knat Lio is a teenage boy who fancies himself a private detective. While on summer vacation, he is hired for some real detective work, investigating a man’s involvement in an armed robbery. Antoine Fluellyn (Flu) is a supremely gifted football star who suffers a serious on-field injury. Even after he recovers physically, he cannot mentally regain his other-worldly potential, and instead drifts into a life of crime, finding employment in the underworld. Set in New York State, the name of the crime drama’s main character, Knat Lio, was chosen by the author as an alternative to a palindrome, which is a word that’s spelled the same backwards or forwards, such as mom. “While I was still working (I'm retired now), I saw some words on a door, and I thought to myself, if I inverted those words, I could come up with an interesting name. And I built the character; Knat Lio, from those words.”

Rita Dragonette

"Rita Dragonette has written a strong-hearted and authentic novel about a naive young girl and her struggle to reconcile the dissonance between the world she sees and the world she was raised to believe in. Judy is truly a quiet hero; you won't forget her."
--Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the Ocean

An enthralling historical novel set during the peak of the Vietnam War and told through the rare perspective of a young woman, who traces her path to self-discovery and a "Coming of Conscience."

Perfect for fans of Kate Quinn and Heather Morris.

On September 14, 1969, Private First Class Judy Talton celebrates her nineteenth birthday by secretly joining the campus anti-Vietnam War movement. In doing so, she jeopardizes both the army scholarship that will secure her future and her relationship with her military family. But Judy's doubts have escalated with the travesties of the war. Who is she if she stays in the army? What is she if she leaves?

When the first date pulled in the Draft Lottery turns up as her birthday, she realizes that if she were a man, she'd have been Number One―off to Vietnam with an under-fire life expectancy of six seconds. The stakes become clear, propelling her toward a life-altering choice as fateful as that of any draftee.

Judy's story speaks to the poignant clash of young adulthood, early feminism, and war, offering an ageless inquiry into the domestic politics of protest when the world stops making sense.

Recent history has given us, and supported the need for a new healthier, more emotionally mature parenting paradigm I call Talk Love Out Loud. Pro football players Ray Rice, blatantly punches his wife while being caught on video cameras, then Adrian Peterson child is blatantly bruised and abused as evidenced by pictures of the bruises, and superficial scars preserved on his body. Adrian flippantly using the excuse," that's how I was raised; "So that' is also the parenting style I choose to use." It was just plain wrong, that Adrian's parents used physical abuse on him growing up. And its just plain wrong that Adrian in turn also used physical abuse on his son claiming it was how I was raised so it must be ok. I too was raised in a less than desirable healthy communication conditions of verbal, and sometimes physical abuse. This history of abuse does not give me license, and, or excuse for being abusive towards my children.it is sad, real, and as I mention in the book violence in the home has the ability to shape our child's worldview about violence; That is it is the "natural order of things," and there is nothing wrong with using it in our parenting style. This is of course a blatant lie our enemy, and adversary would love for us to accept and believe as brute fact. And sure why not, we could reason that the liar, and destroyer of all that God has called good?, would not picking the family to buy the lie that that abuse, and punishment against children is ok, even acceptable as a way for his deception to filter into the family thereby reeking havoc, chaos, and turmoil against the God designed family. The foundational creation where in which individuals learn the eternal value worth, and meaning that is bestowed within persons of the family as they mutually love, honor, and respect each other injecting the indispensable quality, character, and disposition the family structure imprints upon every member of the family.

After the loss of Grace's mother and father and her first love, Grace throws herself into her teaching profession. Other than a few close friends made at the middle school that she taught at, and a few college friends, this was now Grace's world. After the breakup of Grace's one and only love, Grace vowed to never open her heart again to love, heartache, and pain, which she knew would only lead to disappointment. This was Grace's plan, but little did she know that life and fates' plans were not always aligned with our hearts. Grace was unaware that fate would place Joe Peterson in her path to reopen her heart and to teach her to love and trust again. Joe Peterson was a project construction manager who swore off love because he was too busy, not building his life relationship, only buildings. When Grace and Joe's paths cross, the only project Joe wanted to manage was him and Grace's Love Under Construction. After falling head over heels in love with Grace, Joe found that the property that he needed to build on was owned by Grace Pearson. He was now faced with the dilemma of how to go about getting Grace to sell her property so that he could advance his career. Joe knew that to gain her property was to lose her heart, and he desperately needed them both. Fate placed these two hearts on the same paths that twist and turn, but only because many years ago, Grace's mother and father decided to settle in a wonderful little town in Connecticut along the Long Island Sound. Grace's brother also played a part in fate's story. Grace's brother went away to college and returned to the wonderful little town in Connecticut. Grace's brother was now the municipal judge. Grace Pearson had one plan when she went back to her hometown, and that was to sell her mother and father's estate and return to Florida and become the principal of the school where she was a teacher for five years. She wanted to move on with her life, but as fate would have it, she fell in love with her brother's best friend, who turned out to be the project manager that wanted to buy her property and tear it down to build a casino. Joe Peterson found himself in a dilemma; he had fallen in love at first sight with Grace Pearson. He needed her property to advance his career, but he wondered, how could he gain one and lose the other? Joe needed them both!
