When fourteen-year-old Ash is forced to move, the world as he knows
it turns upside down. Soulville is a strange town, and the house
his mom inherited from a distant relative should be condemned. It's
spooky. Possibly haunted. What Ash initially believes to be a
string of bad luck has nothing to do with luck at all and
everything to do with a demonic curse on his family. Does Ash have
what it takes to break the curse, or will his life be cut short
like those before him?
From the author who brought you Hell's Christmas comes the
back-story you've waited for. In Hell's Hallway, we revisit Monika
Hell before she became the Monika Hell we love to hate...or should
that be hate to love? How many doors have to close in Monika's life
before God opens the one that changes everything? Just how long
will Monika stay in the hallway?
Enter a world of fairies, dragons, dwarves, and elves in The Land
of Flames, a magical world where possibilities are endless and
truth makes a difference. Ocamar, the villainous dragon king, and
his dragon clan, have overtaken The Land of Serenity and everyone
in the land is in jeopardy. The only hope seems to be with
Rumbleflin, the oldest and wisest of the elves, who plans to lead
an army rebellion. To add to the conflict, Ocamar and Rumbleflin
have been harboring secrets from one another for years, and what
happens when those secrets are revealed will have a major impact on
everyone. Can an army of fairy-tale creatures defeat a clan of
dragons and restore their Land of Serenity?
Against all odds, the creatures in the Land of Serenity defeated
Ocamar and his dragon clan. They thought their troubles were over,
but an unknown evil lurks in the mountains. Lamek, who seeks
closure with his past, travels up the mountain to the remains of
his old master's cottage. There he gets more than he expected when
he comes face to face with the evil wizard Natas, Zedbulla's son.
With Lamek in his power, bitter Natas plans to use him to bring
darkness to the Land of Serenity. Natas desires to avenge his
father's death and take over the throne, but young Rumpleflin
stands in his way. Worried about her best friend, Karini forms a
search party, but will she and her friends be able to find Lamek in
time? Will Natas become king?
Fontaine explores the social roles of women as depicted within the
book of Proverbs, as well as the character archetypes and
patriarchal ideologies which undergird the sages' portrayal. Using
feminist folklore methodologies and performance studies, the author
explores an alternative paradigm for understanding women's
relationship to wisdom traditions in the ancient Near East, using
parallel texts, later midrash and extrabiblical re-presentations of
biblical women associated with wisdom. Fontaine is thus able to
show that women were culturally authorized 'performers' of the
family-based wisdom traditions of teaching, economic
problem-solving, and care-giving, and that these roles provided
them with a platform to use their acknowledged wisdom in public
roles.

A Feminist Companion to Reading the Bible: Approaches, Methods and
Strategies forms a conclusion to the series of 10 volumes published
in the groundbreaking Feminist Companion to the Bible since 1993.
Not only is this the companion to the Companion, but, it is at the
same time the forerunner and companion to a second series of nine
volumes of the Feminist Companion. In all, there will be a unique
collection of 20 volumes representing the enormous range of
influence that feminist criticism has come to have in biblical
studies. Anchored always in particular biblical texts, the essays
in this multi-authored Companion to Reading the Bible have a
distinct methodological slant, reflecting the numerous developments
in feminist criticism that have occurred since the first books in
the series were published, and forming an indispensable handbook
for every biblical scholar and student today. >
