Pastor Rickie G. Rush is one of the most cutting-edge pastors in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. His unique demonstrative style of preaching has allowed his ministry to grow from a faithful few to a flourishing flock of over 14,000. In his book, “May I Have Your Order, Please?” he uses six principles to help Christians go from prayer to possessing the promises of God. This very energetic book takes the believer on a step-by-step trip through the drive-through window of life. Using the common scenario of a fast-food restaurant drive-through window, Rush positions Christians at the ultimate place – the menu board, where God is waiting with one simple question; “May I have Your Order, Please?” “As Director of ALPS, Advanced Leadership and Pastoral School at Christ For The Nations Institute, I have sat in many of Dr. Rickie Rush’s classes here at the Bible School, and I marvel at the passion, the wonder, the awe that is inside this man for The Body of Christ, the Church. Pastor Rush is masterful at ‘object lessons’ which not only leave you with the Word but also a ‘picture’ which becomes engrained in your spirit.” Dr. Jack Hatcher Director of ALPS Christ For The Nations

Strong men need strong women to fulfill their destinies. To Running Horse, the Cheyenne war chief, life is one battle after another. He fights the Absaroka and Johnson County cattle ranchers before engaging in the ultimate battle to win the heart of a woman. Elina Lavaux is that woman. She's a strong pioneer who succeeds in her dream to breed horses on her own ranch, in a time when women couldn't even hold land without a man's name on the deed. Twenty years later, the old tribal ways are gone, but the spirit of the warrior remains strong in their sons. The young men must overcome prejudice and personal demons to find love, thus fulfilling the prophecy of the Black Stallion.

The essays in this book help to make sense of the workings of language in our everyday world—on the personal, local, national, and international levels. The authors are all linguists, seeking to help readers free themselves of language prejudices, thus opening the way to better informed views on the function of language in society, a more balanced treatment in schools, and more linguistically-sound public policies. Defusing Chicken-Little prognostications about English, this volume suggests that dark claims about language are not to be taken at face value. Instead, these claims function as a signal: time to step back. Offering just such a time-out, eminent linguists explore the fuller picture underlying language in our society, examining prescriptivism, Black English, Ozark English, American Sign Language, English-Only, and Endangered Languages. After helping stomp out such linguistic fires, the linguists showcase the potent workings of language: world englishes, language and politics, media, prejudice, creativity, gender, and humor, thus opening the way to better informed views on the function of language in schools, and more linguistically sound public policies.

This is the story of an Air Force war veteran in his late thirties wrestling as best he can with a misdiagnosed mental illness compounded by post dramatic war syndrome going untreated due to a self-destructive combination of arrogance and a sinful amount of pride. Not only can he not admit to himself he may need professional help of any sort, but he self-medicates and compounds his problems with alcohol. His growing paranoia causes him to leave a great career in a half-baked attempt at self-employment. His growing paranoia makes it evermore impossible for him to face his co-workers, who he feels despise him behind his back, but laugh with him as he puts on a glib facade. In the attempt to streamline his life, Steve resigns from the fire department in order to raise the capital necessary to go into business for himself, despite the protests of his wife, family and friends. A disastrous turn of events leaves him penniless. Disgraced before everyone he knows, a full bottle of sleeping pills seems to be the only solution to his problems, still refusing to seek help at the VA hospital because his bipolar state refuses to allow him to humble himself and his paranoia won't let him trust the government. After spending time in the hospital, he discovers the true sources of his problems and what he can do to overcome them. Fortunately, he has the love of his wife and daughter to give him emotional support and new found faith to give him guidance.
