A curious braid of memoir, social commentary, and biblical narrative woven together into one compelling storyline. Davis began writing the book as a commentary, primarily, but as she wrote the real-time memoir portion began to take on a life of its own. Fans of Davis' debut memoir Baptism by Fire will recognize Elijah as something of a sequel. At a time when parents are crying out for answers to the relentless pressure and purposelessness that their children are experiencing, a new answer emerges — an answer as old as time.

Written with the high energy and taut focus of an episodic drama and the humor and grace of a master storyteller, this is the riveting true story of a young mother transformed by faith. Heather Davis and her husband, Lon, are blessed. They have a strong and loving marriage, a terrific four-year-old son, and a gorgeous new baby daughter named Remy. But one day, without warning, something goes terribly wrong. A seizure sends Remy to the emergency room, and from that moment, life as Heather knows it will never be the same—it will be better. As agonizing days of uncertainty pass, Heather learns a number of powerful lessons. She comes to know the insight, grace, and compassion that strangers can offer; she discovers the depths of strength and courage within herself, her husband, and her son; and she learns what happens within us when we surrender and open ourselves to hope—and the very real and benevolent effect of faith and prayer. "This is remarkable. Though Heather Choate Davis tells a story of genuine fear and distress, she never loses her capacity for startling humor—most often at her own expense. She never sentimentalizes; she is always absolutely honest." Walt Wangerin, Jr., "The Book of God"

Bottom-of-the-ninth dreams are the stuff that young boys are made of. But boys grow. Destiny arrives on the doorstep –or, more likely, fails to– and all the while mothers look on, impotent witnesses to the great unknown. Such is the turf of The Pitcher’s Mom, a novel about big dreams, cup shopping, bleacher barbs, sore arms, mothers and sons, wrestling destiny, and the sacrifices we make for love.

FINNISH GRAMMAR by CLEMENS NIEMI. PREFACE: In preparing this book my aim has not been to write a complete Finnish grammar. I have sought to present only the fundamental principles in the briefest possible way necessary for the study of the Finnish language. The student should thoroughly master the sound values of each letter before taking any advanced steps. In doing so he is able to acquire accuracy in pronunci ation. It should be remembered that Finnish, as its cognate Finno-Ugric languages, is an agglutinative language., that is to say, the words are formed of roots by adding certain suffices or endings to the stem. In this process of appending, the changes of letters for euphony or harmony occur. The rules for these changes should be carefully observed in connection with each lesson as they come. Each lesson consists of a statement of grammatical principles, a vocabulary, exercises, and in some cases, a brief reading lesson. The vocabulary at the head of the lesson will help the student to understand the sen tences which follow. The exercises have been devel oped in such a way that each lesson brings out the grammatical principles at hand. The rules of syntax as well as grammatical questions have been scattered throughout a long series of lessons for the purpose of leading the student gradually to a thorough understand ing of the rules. The case-endings and the use of the cases are particularly emphasized, as they form a very difficult and essential part in the study of the Finnish language. The reading lessons are so arranged as to give an early acquaintance with real Finnish, and they continually add new - words to the students vocabulary. Fully aware of many defects, I hope that this book, the only Finnish grammar of its kind in English, will be of some aid to the learner of the Finnish language. CLEMENS NIEML.

PSYCHOLOGY, RELIGION AND HEALING. A critical study of all the non-physical methods of healing, with an examination of the principles under lying them and the techniques employed to express them, together with some conclusions regarding further investigation and action in this field LESLIE D. WEATHERHEAD M. PREFACE: IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR a young doctor, working in the desert amongst troops stationed north of Baghdad, talked about his dreams to two young chaplains far into the night. I was one of the chaplains. That doctor was a remarkable man. He practised psychological treat ment of an impressive kind when what was then called The New Psy chology was very new indeed. He practised hypnotism, both as a means of investigating the deep mind of the patient and also of giving him suggestions of courage, confidence and recovery. Further, he had as great a spiritual faith and power as I have ever seen. He would go out into the desert, and for hours he would concentrate his mind on one patient
