Mama Raised Me, Her Demons Changed Me
Denora M. Boone - 2017
Although he didn’t know it, Kiondre Andrews was in a battle that wasn’t caused by the choices that he had made. Incarcerated at the young age of fifteen for taking the life of another, he fought daily with the life that had been chosen for him by his mother. A life that no child should ever face and one that he didn’t wish on his worst enemy. Even still there was that mustard seed of faith that he held on to. Because of that faith, he was granted early release back into a society that he wondered if it would accept him knowing the lifestyle he used to live. But when one devastating secret comes out he feels that it’s only a matter of time before he returns to the cold cell that had become his home. Tayler Crenshaw, a divorced single mother of a fifteen-year-old daughter has had her share of trials and tests of faith. Losing her unborn child after finding her husband cheating, she consumed herself with work, her daughter, and keeping her mother and uncle from killing one another. She didn’t have time for a man nor was she looking for one. Her logic changes drastically when she ends up meeting Kiondre and all of her caution is thrown to the wind. He has her feeling things that her husband never made her feel and she wasn’t sure that she wanted him to stop. Has she finally found a true love or will his past hinder them from sharing something meaningful? Secrets so dark, one would begin to question if God was indeed real. How could He allow so much pain to come to the innocent yet the ones causing the pain walk around unbothered? Kiondre and Tayler learn lessons through unimaginable circumstances as they do their best to come to grips with it all. Will the demons of others change them for the worse or were they used just as another tool by the good Lord Himself?

The Queen You Thought You Knew
David Fohrman - 2011
There's a villain out to hang Mordechai and murder his countrymen; a king who enjoys drinking; and a beautiful and noble queen. There are assassins, palace intrigue and a climactic battle scene -- and a happy ending, to boot. What more could you ask for in a good child's story?The holiday associated with the book can seem child-like, too. Purim is celebrated with costumes, carnivals, and abundant merriment. Kids dress up as Esther, Mordechai, Haman and Achashveirosh, wearing plastic hats and cellophane scepters. Purim is the great holiday of make-believe.All this make believe, though, can have unintended consequences. Chief among them is the fact that many of us are likely to remain with childlike views of Purim and the Megillah long after we've turned adults. Our perspective upon Mordechai and Esther and their struggle can easily remain as one-dimensional as the face paint we use to impersonate these people in costume.In this book, Rabbi Fohrman invites the reader to look at the Book of Esther with fresh eyes; to join him, as it were, on a guided adventure -- a close reading of the ancient biblical text. In so doing, he reveals another Purim story; a richer, deeper narrative -- more suited perhaps, to the eyes ofan adult than to a child. As layers of meaning are gradually revealed, Esther's hidden story comes alive in a vibrant, unexpected way -- offering the reader a fascinating and stirring encounter with the queen whose costume they wore as children -- the queen they thought they knew.

Meet the Rabbis: Rabbinic Thought and the Teachings of Jesus
Brad H. Young - 2007
In this sense, Rabbinic thought is relevant to every aspect of modern life. Rabbinic literature explores the meaning of living life to its fullest, in right relationship with God and humanity. However, many Christians are not aware of Rabbinic thought and literature. Indeed, most individuals in the Western world today, regardless of whether they are Christians, atheists, agnostics, secular community leaders, or some other religious or political persuasion, are more knowledgeable of Jesus' ethical teachings in the Sermon on the Mount than the Ethics of the Fathers in the Jewish prayer book. The author seeks to introduce the reader to the world of Torah learning. It is within this world that the authentic cultural background of Jesus' teachings in ancient Judaism is revealed.
