"Every once in a while an author arrives with the rare talent to combine reality with romance. This is Janis Reams Hudson." —RT BOOK REVIEWS It was supposed to be a brief assignment, one that forced Agent Morgan Foster to leave his children for six months. When it backfires, that assignment turns into four years in Central America, hiding and fighting to survive. But now he’s back, and is horrified to learn that his ex-wife has died, leaving his supposedly orphaned children under the care of a foster mother. Widow Sarah Collins loves her foster children as if they are her own, and they love her in return. It has been a peaceable life emerging from great tragedy, growing up on an Oklahoma farm. So when Morgan suddenly returns to pursue custody of his children, Sarah invites him to stay while he becomes reacquainted with his kids. As Morgan takes up residence on the farm alongside his kids—and beautiful Sarah—what starts off as merely a logical compromise turns into a whirlwind of passion and temptation both Sarah and Morgan may be hopeless to resist.

Variously described as a work of genius, a pretentious wreck, a crucially important film, and a victim of its director's ego, among other things, It's All True, shot in Mexico and Brazil between 1941 and 1942, is the legendary movie that Orson Welles never got to finish. In this book, the most comprehensive and authoritative assessment of It's All True available, Catherine Benamou synthesizes a wealth of new and little-known source material gathered on two continents, including interviews with key participants, to present a compelling original view of the film and its historical significance. Her book challenges much received wisdom about Orson Welles and illuminates the unique place he occupies in American culture, broadly defined.

This heartwarming memoir pays tribute to Melanie's lasting love affair with animals small and large. Over the years, she and her husband have adopted abused, neglected, or unwanted animals and cared for them on their Florida ranch. Melanie has developed a set of beliefs about the human relationship with animals, and she has come to realize that each creature has a distinct personality, a warm heart, passion, and even a sense of humor. Melanie and Tim operate on the firm belief that every animal-whether an unfriendly cat, overweight pig, or blind cow-needs to love and be loved.

The look of love . . . through an analytic lens Long treated with skepticism in literary and cultural studies, love – as a subject of serious scholarly inquiry – is now attracting intense interest and renewed attention. Love, Etc. centers on two key themes: representations of love in literature and culture and love as a relationship to literature and culture. How are our attitudes to love changing in the wake of new technologies and social media; shifting norms around partnering, marriage, and divorce; and feminist and queer thought? Fifteen short and accessible essays cover a wide range of topics from Tinder to The Bachelor, from liking trees to loving aliens, from unrequited love to maternal love, from polyamory to new stories of female friendship, from loving physical books to theorizing love in popular music.

The Old Testament book of Deuteronomy is the Bible’s most elaborate explanation of what it means to love God and love neighbor. In fact, the book contains the Bible’s first explicit command to love God in Deut 6:4–5, often referred to as the Shema. Jesus quoted heavily from Deuteronomy during his ministry, and this book still contains many practical teachings for his followers today. Drawing from recent understanding of the book’s previously perplexing structure, we find that while the Ten Commandments are famously framed mostly as brief negatives such as “do not murder,” they were written to teach an open-ended array of positive ways to demonstrate love for God and neighbor. This book offers a positive restatement of each commandment to establish how Deuteronomy presents each commandment’s full meaning. This book will help readers discover the riches of the book of Deuteronomy by reading it with understanding. It will also offer the resources needed to lead a Bible study on or preach through Deuteronomy so that Christians are better prepared to love God and neighbor.
