Book excerpt: In his first novel, Tim Hassett-Salley introduces the reader to young Joe Davis who has coasted through his seemingly banal childhood as the younger brother of a loving family in a rural New England town in the early 1970's. A combination of bad choices, bad luck, and at times, a bad attitude conspire to crumble the cortex of his personality. Joe tumbles through his conflicted life seemingly oblivious to ample life lessons he could be learning. A lack of introspection throughout most of his life compounds Joe's relationship difficulties, neither healing his psyche enough to live a genuine life nor allowing him to move past the bad choices and traumatic events of his earlier years. Joe survives Vietnam, a few cycles of love lost and love found, organized religion, racism, and even the Catholic clergy sexual abuse scandal. He is focused on his future, but his past is ever present. Joe is in a race against time and fate, and time is running out.

Book excerpt: An Edgar Award Finalist Lenny Norbeck is a die-hard baseball lover. Unfortunately, he's no player himself (according to him, he's "the worst there ever was.") But he'd make a heck of an announcer. He gets a lot of practice sitting with his best friends, Mike and Other Mike, watching Phillies games from their lawn couch—a sweet outdoor TV arrangement Mike's dad hooked them up with. Being a real announcer is his dream, and he gets his chance to prove himself when he enters an "Armchair Announcer" contest and wins. The prize: he gets to be the broadcaster, live, for one inning at a real Phillies game. The game goes very wrong, though. Before Lenny gets to do his inning, a young, promising pitcher fresh out of the minors literally drops dead on the mound. The official verdict is that he died of a heart attack, but Lenny has a hunch there's something more going on. So he and the Mikes set out to investigate. The suspects are many, and though the trio barks up the wrong tree a few times, they are always right on the heels of the real killer. . . .

Download or read book The American Court System written by Marilyn McShane and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-28 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depending on whom one talks to, today's criminal courts are either the savior or the demon of our social order. While everyone seems to have an answer about what needs to be done, the solutions are neither simple, nor within our current allocation of resources. Media hype and political posturing emotionally dilute the reality of what motivates crime and what constitutes effective punishment. The essays and research in this anthology give the reader a realistic view of complex problems affecting our juvenile and adult courts and, consequently, the rest of the criminal justice system. Topics include sentencing disparity, sentencing reform, and wrongful convictions. Some traditionally controversial issues are covered, such as the insanity defense and the death penalty as well as the more recent "three-strikes-and-you're-out" movement and mandatory minimums. This series will be of great utility to students, scholars, and others with interests in the literature of criminal justice and criminology.

Daily Bible Study is the perfect resource for individuals who want to grow in their relationship with God and enhance their engagement with lessons in Adult Bible Studies. Designed to meet the needs of busy people, each daily reading includes a Scripture reference, a personal faith-related question, an explanation and application of the biblical text, and a prayer, all on one page. Available in print and eBook and as an app. Additional information about Daily Bible Study, Fall 2023 Theme: God Provides This fall, Daily Bible Study presents a series of readings supporting the theme “God Provides.” These readings explore the basic human needs of food, water, and shelter and the vulnerability that comes to those who lack access to them. They remind us of God’s gracious provision in meeting these needs and our responsibility to help secure these necessities for those who lack them. These daily readings come from Old and New Testament texts, prepare us for the lessons in Adult Bible Studies, and are written by Timothy Merrill, Taylor Mills, and Sue Mink. Unit 1 Food Readings in this unit remind us of God’s generous provision of food for humans and wild creatures and of our responsibility to offer sustenance for those who are hungry and in need. Scriptures: Exodus 16:2-9, 31-32 | 1 Kings 17:16; 19:8 | Mark 6:30-44 | Luke 14:1-15 Spiritual Practice: Feasting Unit 2 Water Scripture uses the motif of water in many ways, which the readings in this unit explore. Water represents a metaphor for chaos, historical enemies, judgment of God, devastation of drought-stricken land, and personal distress. Water is also a gift from God for the flourishing of all creation, refreshment for body and soul, and source of eternal life embodied in Jesus. Thirst for water and provision of water are metaphors for the human relationship with God. Scriptures: Genesis 21:9-21 | Exodus 17:1-7 | Psalm 42 | John 7:32-44 | Matthew 25:31-46 Spiritual Practice: Creation Care Unit 3 Shelter The economic and social vulnerabilities that lead people to experience homelessness today do not have ancient analogies in Scripture. Even so, the physical security of home is a relevant theological idea. Although various biblical texts may make it easy to focus our attention on spiritual shelter in God’s presence, those who experience such a home in God find resources to extend hospitality and care through various means with those who today are experiencing homelessness. Scriptures: Exodus 29:42-46 | Psalm 27 | Deuteronomy 8:1-20 |John 1:1-14 Spiritual Practice: Hospitality
