10 Things Your Minister Wants to Tell You: (but Can't, Because He Needs The Job)
by Oliver "Buzz" Thomas“Just [when] you thought Jesus was coming again toting a gun” a renowned reverend “remind[s] us to look for the real thing—the Jesus who spoke of love” (Bill Moyers, Emmy and Peabody Award–winning journalist).“How did it all begin?”“What happens when we die?”These are just two of the questions Reverend Oliver “Buzz” Thomas hears centrist Christians asking as he travels across the US and he knows that their voices are not being heard. They’re people of faith, not of politics, and they want more from their religion than a voter’s guide.In 10 Things Your Minister Wants to Tell You (But Can’t Because He Needs the Job), Rev. Thomas has written a book that is the liberal Christian answer to how live a purposeful life. He writes sensitively about the reason we were put on this earth, the significance of the Bible and how one pleases God. He answers difficult, contemporary questions like “What about homosexuality?” and “What about other faiths?” Rev. Thomas weaves a Christian theology for today that people will embrace as a guide to sensible, modern living.“Clear and engaging. . . . Taking on popular religious writers like Tim LaHaye and Rick Warren, Thomas argues against many conservative interpretations of biblical texts.” —Publishers Weekly“As a lifelong advocate for justice . . . Rev. Oliver Thomas has never been afraid to challenge the status quo.” —Marian Wright Edelman, President and Founder of the Children’s Defense Fund“Buzz Thomas makes God accessible even for those who find church difficult.” —Rev. Joan Brown Campbell, former General Secretary of the National and World Councils of Churches“A fascinating read, regardless of religious or political affiliation.” —Book Page

10 Truths and a Dare
by Ashley ElstonIt's Senior Party Week, that magical in-between time after classes have ended but before graduation, chock-full of gimmicky theme parties, last-minute bonding, and family traditions. Olivia couldn't be more ready. Class salutatorian and confident in her future at LSU, she's poised to sail through to the next phase of her life. But when the tiny hiccup of an unsigned P.E. form puts Olivia in danger of not graduating at all, she has one week to set things straight without tipping off her big, nosy extended family. Volunteering at a local golf tournament should do it, but since Olivia's mom equipped her phone with a tracking app, there'll be no hiding the fact that she's at the golf course instead of all the graduation parties happening at the same time. Unless, that is, she can convince the Fab Four--her ride-or-die cousins and best friends Sophie, Charlie, and Wes--to trade phones with her and go through the motions of playing Olivia for the week. Sure, Olivia's sudden "passion" for golf is met with some suspicion. And sure, her grasp of the rules is a little shaky. And yes, okay, a very cute, very off-limits boy keeps popping up in her orbit. But she is focused! She has a schedule and a plan! Nothing can possibly go wrong . . . right?
