My Heart's in the Heather
by Seon Manley[from inside flaps] "Growing up, Seon Manley says, is always a journey to a new country. In this delightful book, she tells a story of growing up in a Scottish-American colony in New York--a story rich in the glory of the past, in the hope of adolescence, and in the high good humor of a close-knit family and neighborhood. The Scots, who contributed so much to the development of our country, are vividly [portrayed in these pages, as the traditions, heritage, and wit of old Scotland come to terms with the excitement of a new life in the new world of the United States. Here you will find Papa, who was all Scot; Mama, who was all American; and two sisters, Seon and Gogo, who grew up to be well-known writers and anthologists. Perhaps this background is in some degree responsible for the author's rare and special understanding of young people, as well as for her gift of laughter that permeates the pages of My Heart's in the Heather."
Grace Under Glass: Reflections, meditations, and stories about real people living for God in a real way in the real world
by Gene JacksonFrom the book: This little book is written specifically with Christian workers in mind. I love ministers, teachers, board members, and other leaders in the church. The great demonstration of the grace of God is seen in the lives of those who serve Him. This message of Grace is not intended to be a theory for learned debate, it is meant to be lived out by real people in real life. Here is a little collection of stories, essays, and opinions based on more than a half century involved in full time ministerial service to our Lord and His Church. There is not much here for the faint of heart, although I hope you will find much encouragement in these pages. Most of what I know I learned in the school of experience. Hard knocks will teach you things they never thought to write in the Seminary or Bible College textbooks. If you are looking for generics where a writer or preacher almost says something, you'd better move on. This is straight as a gun barrel and hot as a morning cup of coffee.
