Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The night before Lena's first soccer game of the season, her father, Ruben Drinkwater, tells her the amazing story of his own first season playing soccer. His mom was like any ordinary parent watching the Atomic Pickles play. But soon, she began to act very differently-she started to look like a pickle, and she started to roar in a very loud voice when the team was scoring goals. In fact, she turned into an alien! Ruben spied on her at home, but she seemed to turn into an alien only during soccer games. Finally, he confronted her and asked her to act like all the other parents. That's when they discovered how much Mrs. Drinkwater's cheering meant to the team-especially to the parents, who took up where her cheerleading left off and renewed the whole team's spirit for the game.

Download or read book Soccer Mom in Galilee written by Rachel Stackhouse and published by Stackhouse Press. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique, absorbing journey in time crafted by a USA-Today bestselling novelist and a New Testament scholar. Rachel did everything right. But no matter where she was, she had the feeling she was supposed to be someplace else… When an agnostic suburban soccer mom lies down with a migraine, the last thing she expects is to wake up in a dusty, smelly courtyard in first-century Galilee. Befuddled, shocked, and -- as a woman without family traveling alone -- in fear for her very life, Rachel is grateful to be taken in by two wealthy women on a mission: the financial support of a charismatic rabbi from Nazareth. Jesus is a real up-and-comer, the women insist, with a knack for motivational speaking. You’ll love him! But Rachel has never been “a believer.” And even if she were, the swarthy, robust, and greasy-haired man to which she is introduced hardly strikes her as deity material. Then again… sometimes, she isn’t so sure. Based on both scholarly depictions of Jesus of Nazareth and research into daily life in the first century, we see through Rachel’s account a fresh, earthy, and wholly pragmatic portrait of the historical Jesus. We see the rabbi not as the gospel writers chose to present him, but as he might have appeared to the little-known women who bankrolled his travels and to the disciples’ wives who seasoned his stew. As Rachel experiences the resiliency and raw courage of these women, unsung and unrecorded by history, she is forced to wonder whether it is her own frenetic, perfectionist life that is the fairy tale. Rachel Stackhouse is a former veterinarian, childbirth educator, and mother of three who under the pen name Edie Claire is a USA-Today bestselling author of mystery and romantic women’s fiction. In her own frenetic life, she frequently has to remind herself to slow down, take stock, and simplify in order to remember what matters most. For a complete list of her books and plays, please visit www.edieclaire.com. Rev. Peter C. de Vries, Ph. D. has served for a third of a century as a pastor and teacher, daring Jesus-followers to discover the challenges and joys of having their lives turned upside down. He is married to his best friend and has three children, four grandchildren, and a goofy little dog. You can find his video devotions on the Old Union Presbyterian Church YouTube channel, or contact him by email at [email protected].

Book excerpt: Ultimately, choosing whether to sit or get off the pot is the most difficult decision to make. That is, in sum, the conundrum that Dan Brown, the central protagonist of Counselor, is forced to confront, both literally and figuratively. As the story begins, Dan, a young New York attorney, sits on the toilet in his office's sterile bathroom, only to be suddenly confronted and belittled by burly Mr. Tubman -- his brutal, antagonistic boss -- in this most private of locales. The plot unravels as this character continues to sit on the toilet after the rebuke, alone and contemplating the choices he has made. We get to know him and his story, complete with tumultuous love affairs, devastating heart break, drug addiction, betrayal and family destruction. Set partially in Manhattan and partially in fictitious suburb Garden Hills, New York, Counselor offers a gritty insight into modern day disillusionment, filled to the brim with compelling characters, edgy metaphors and vivid imagery

Even as we do things as simple as light the candles, set the table, break the bread and pour the wine, we invite people into a holy moment.... The women [in this book] not only have a wellspring of deep wisdom, but they also have the ability to dish out their knowledge with side-aching humor.... I am thrilled that their great wisdom and intelligence will be bound into the pages that I can turn to, lend and appreciate for years to come." ―from the Foreword by Rev. Carol Howard Merritt Learn―and laugh―with these women of the church, bound together by a deep commitment to ministry, as they reveal what it really means to be a woman in the pulpit.
