When she is chosen to bear the Messiah who will be the next King of Israel, teenage Mary knows that she has found favor with God. But things go wrong in ways she can never imagine. The story of the mother of Jesus of Nazareth is the story of a woman of first century Palestine, a wife, and a mother, who though two thousand years removed has so much in common with women of today. It is the relationship of a mother and son so much like a mother and son today. In the story, Mary manages to avoid an arranged marriage, survive a desert escape from the evil King Herod, raise seven children, endure the loss of her husband, and keep her energetic family together as a single parent. But when Jesus challenges the status quo and angers the religious and political authorities, she begins to lose control. She struggles to bring her sons under control. Then when Jesus is arrested during the Passover festival, her dangerous and frantic nighttime race to save him begins. She finds herself helpless against the Jewish authorities acting on Rome s behalf. When Jesus is turned over to the Romans to meet the same fate as so many political rebels of the time, Mary must watch her own son be crucified. This is the story that she will tell you in her own words. Then she will tell you do how she survived her own grief, anger, and remorse. Mary s Story is a Christian story, a Jewish story, and a mother s story.

In January, 2006, after having just completed a master's in occupational therapy, Ruth Levine was diagosed with stage IV colorectal cancer. Along with conventional treatment, she utilitzed exercise, nutrition, laughter therapy, imagery and reiki to overcome it. This is her story of the journey. Cancer Warrior was a finalist in the Midwest Independent Publishers Associations 2011 Awards in the category Inspiration/Gift Book. If the only lessons in this book were related to Levine's holistic approach to cure, it would still be a book that people with cancer will want to read. But it is so much more because Levine teaches us what it feels like to be a cancer patient... I think that medical schools and residences should make this little gem of a book required reading...

The door to a new world opens when a city woman and her husband decide to build a house on an island reachable only by ferry boat in summer, ice highway in winter and sometimes not reachable at all. Construction of the couple s log house proceeds at a slow pace, giving them plenty of time to learn about the locals. They discover islanders strong sense of community and willingness to help strangers in time of need, as well as their penchant for heated debate about bike trails, noise ordinances, and how often to bathe. On Island Time is a wry and funny account of their apprenticeship in island living. They emerge from the experience with a new and deeper appreciation for the inhabitants both two and four-legged of Madeline Island. This book will delight all who dream of escaping to their own cabin up north.

A Crackle Weave Companion is a new comprehensive guide to the Crackle weave and its literature. Lucy Brusic brings together in one volume more than 100 four-shaft Crackle patterns previously published in the books of Marguerite Davison, Mary Snyder, and Mary Atwater. Using an easy-to-follow letter transcription system, A Crackle Weave Companion updates the older patterns and shows how they can be adapted to wider or narrower warps. Crackle weave is a system of small twill blocks. Traditional Crackle creates a sturdy fabric with short floats. However, many untraditional design ideas and color mixing experiments are also possible with this weave structure. Anyone who can read a four-shaft draft and thread a loom can use this book. This book is designed to help the person who does not know much about Crackle become more proficient in the weave, but it is also designed to be an inspiration to all weavers, Crackle and otherwise, who want to understand how this structure works.
