For years, author Dewey Olmstead has been writing essays based on his sometimes unusual insights into the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Whether he wrote for friends, families he visited, or even strangers, Olmstead wanted nothing more than to share the truth of the Scriptures and for people to grow closer to God.

"Line upon Line" presents a collection of Olmstead's essays offering encouragement and inspiration to those struggling with daily life. Written in an easy-to-read for-mat, these nuggets of wisdom convey the awesome power of the Gospel and fill believers with hope and strength.

His thoughtful commentary punctuates each subject and seeks to answer some of our most common questions about God and His Kingdom, which we are a part of. Olmstead discusses the beauty and majesty of God's creation, how Earthly laws relate to God's eternal laws, the importance of reading the Scriptures, the beauty of our heavenly inheritance, and much more.

La vida es un payaso. Que otra cosa podemos esperar del "borrador" que "reparamos" en el pluscuamperfecto? Solemos evocar la idea de la suerte cuando nos va de lo mal a lo peor; pero si todo marcha bien estamos convencidos de que somos forjadores de nuestro propio destino. La muerte nos dota con su sentimiento preferido --la angustia-- que esta dispuesta a extendernos su mano, si ve que pronto extenderemos la pata. Que es un milagro sino lo absurdo condimentado con una pizca del encanto de lo imposible. En el fundamento de todo radicalismo se esconde una exigencia estetica: no solo de mejorar el mundo sino de erradicar cualquier huella de su imperfeccion. Casi todos los "carniceros" de la humanidad obtuvieron la "justificacion" de sus acciones sangrientas en la conviccion de que estuvieron consagradas por la "providencia divina," o por las "leyes ferreas" de la historia. Nos rebelamos contra el destino en sus dos versiones: lo inexorable que a todos nos espera, y que nos resistimos a aceptar, y lo irreparable que ya ha acontecido y que quisieramos que regrese. En el tedio somos como un gato saciado que continua mirando como corren los ratones, pero ya no tiene gana de capturarlos. Hombre soy y ningun complejo diabolico le es ajeno a mi inconsciente. Ante la idea de infinitud, mi existencia es "casi nada." Es muy facil pasar del "casi nada" a la nada. Sin embargo, no lo hago, porque entiendo que el "casi" es todo lo que tengo.

This book is the first comparative study of English, German, French, Russian and Hungarian anti-proverbs based on well-known proverbs. Proverbs are by no means fossilized texts but are adaptable to different times and changed values. While anti-proverbs can be considered as variants of older proverbs, they can also become new proverbs reflecting a more modern worldview. Anti-proverbs are therefore a lingo-cultural phenomenon that deserves the attention of cultural and literary historians, folklorists, linguists, and general readers interested in language and wordplay.

On any given day, "Wisdom Collectors," which can include scholars, poets and general enthusiasts, are lined up awaiting the next nuggets of wisdom. Each word of wisdom builds on previous words of wisdom whether spoken or written by such individuals as Abigail Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Andy Rooney, Angela Lansbury, Ann Richards, Aristotle or Audrey Hepburn. These are just a few of the A's. The B's through Z's are just as impressive. Nancy Hopkins Reily has now dealt with these words of wisdom, sometimes in rhyme, metered, and narrative verse, and presented them in a musical beat that not everyone will recognize-all done with an uncanny imagination that cuts through to the core of every issue and includes the youth and adults. Wisdom Collectors also delve into the living of life such as traveling, cooking, photographing, retiring and preparing for emergencies. "These selective nuggets," Nancy says, "are welcome to all members and non-members of the Wisdom Collectors whose current membership, by the way, is one person-me." Nancy's wisdom began when she was a young native Dallas, Texan and learned that it was okay to say, "I don't know." Graduated from Southern Methodist University, she claimed that she wasn't very sexy if her high heel shoes hurt her feet. As a beginning homemaker, there was nothing like the sound of scraping burnt toast. In raising two children, Nancy realized that each age came in the right sequence. And just as she finished her work as a mother, she became a grandmother. One grandson taught her that Louisiana doesn't drain very well. When she began her writing career, she declared that fifty percent of writing is just showing up to write and to surround yourself with talented people. Nancy says that the best advice she has been given is, "Drink very little liquid, if any, after six pm." And, upon reflection she wonders, "Do I want to be a pioneer woman and be among the first women to stop cooking?" Nancy Reily is also the author of "Classic Outdoor Color Portraits, A Guide for Photographers"; "Georgia O'Keeffe, A Private Friendship, Part I, Walking the Sun Prairie Land"; "Georgia O'Keeffe, A Private Friendship, Part II, Walking the Abiquiu and Ghost Ranch Land"; and "Joseph Imhof, Artist of the Pueblos" with Lucille Enix, all from Sunstone Press.
