Older adults are a diverse cohort with a wide array of capacities, interests, and needs. Despite the fact that aging is a highly individualized and complex process, it continues to be stereotyped, especially in Western cultures. Any stereotype—positive or negative—fails to acknowledge the diversity of individuals within the group and can be used to justify social oppression and prejudice. All too often, older adults are viewed as a burden on society rather than celebrated for the incredible gifts and talents, which they have to offer. Written from a Christian perspective, this book provides insight into the spiritual needs and religious practices of older adults. The author’s positive faith construct provides the lens through which to look beyond social stereotypes and, thereby, to positively influence the health, well-being and quality of life of older adults.

The award-winning author of Stones and Zack brings us a collection of original stories that will captivate teens as completely as his bestselling novels. With these eight absorbing tales, acclaimed storyteller William Bell explores the highs and lows of characters struggling to belong. In “Chumley,” a high school boy’s comical eccentricities mask his true, more complicated self. Fourteen-year-old Albert’s sudden sense of shame at the grandfather he adores leads to a surprising realization in “Beer Can Man.” In “The Staircase,” the aftermath of a horrible incident exposes an ugly reality at the heart of a high school. In “Window Tree,” a girl grapples with her shattered expectations over a crush she felt certain was requited. Bell’s protagonists are individuals and outsiders, often on the margin of their peers or their family. Finding their own place in the world takes them on journeys that are by turns funny, fantastical, and moving. These perceptive, empathetic, and engaging stories show again why William Bell commands such a loyal readership among young adults, teachers, and parents.

Allie's life has just taken a turn for the worse; not only do her parents fight all the time, but she is failing more classes than not and now she thinks she might be pregnant. Unable to face up to her parents, Allie decides to run away. She hooks up with her old friend Razz, a professional skateboarder, and goes on the road. Razz is ranked number one but constant confrontations with the challenger Slash put Allie in some dangerous situations. With the rivalry heating up, Razz and Allie head toward home—right into the path of a fierce tornado. To survive in the horror and destruction that follow the storm, Allie has to call on an inner strength she didn't know she had. This short novel is a high-interest, low-reading level book for teen readers who are building reading skills, want a quick read or say they don’t like to read! The epub edition of this title is fully accessible. Also available in Spanish.

Lent is a great time to work dramatic presentations into your congregation's programming -- and Getting Our Feet Wet, a collection of 14 thoughtful sketches depicting Lenten themes, is a great resource for communicating the gospel in fresh and exciting ways. Written with grace and style, the scenes probe common assumptions about faith, making a vivid impression on audiences while stretching their theological imagination. Most of the dramas explore familiar biblical events from novel vantage points: the proprietor of the upper room, two anonymous women at the crucifixion, wine-weary disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane. Some of the stories bring out the humor and theological edge in scripture, while others leave readers yearning for the Good News of Easter. Appropriate for intimate gatherings or large worship services (particularly during Holy Week), many of the scenes require only one or two characters, and each comes with specific directions for props, sound, and lighting. Performance time of the scenes varies from approximately 5 to 12 minutes. Gary William Bell is the executive director of SOS Community Services in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, Michigan. SOS is a community-based agency that assists people in crisis and provides comprehensive supportive services for homeless families. Bell previously served urban, suburban, and rural congregations in the United Methodist Church and the United Church of Christ. He is a graduate of Oakland University (B.A.) and Colgate-Rochester Divinity School (M.Div.), and holds a Ph.D. in Urban Social Institutions from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where his doctoral dissertation examined church social activism and included original research on congregational responses to poverty and other social problems.
