Trevor Hudson has written One Day at a Time for anyone who: worries too much, struggles with compulsive or addictive behavior, battles with stress and tension, sabotages relationships with destructive behavior, feels trapped by feelings of self-condemnation, guilt, and regret, worships regularly but feels bogged down in pious cliches. If you identify with any of the descriptions above, take heart. There is hope. Plug in to the Power. Working the 12 Steps can become God's surprising way of keeping your life on track. Two passions shape Trevor's ministry: helping ordinary Christ-followers discover a compassionate, down-to-earth, and life-giving spirituality and building missional faith communities where people can link the inward and outward dimensions of their Christian faith. He is the author of A Mile in My Shoes and The Way of Transforming Discipleship. In ministry for over thirty years, Trevor spent most of this time in and around Johannesburg, South Africa. Presently he is part of the pastoral team at Northfield Methodist Church in Benoni with special responsibilities for teaching and preaching. He also travels widely leading conferences, retreats, and workshops. Book jacket.

One of the greatest musicals of all time, with music by Jule Styne, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and a book by Arthur Laurents. Gypsy is based on the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, a famous burlesque stripper. The musical focuses on her overbearing mother, Rose, the quintessential stage mother, as she pushes Gypsy (then known as Louise) and her sister June into life on the vaudeville circuit, forever trying to break into the big time. The musical contains many songs that have become popular standards, including 'Everything's Coming up Roses' and 'Let Me Entertain You'. Gypsy was premiered on Broadway in May 1959 at The Broadway Theatre (transferring to the Imperial Theatre), directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins, with Ethel Merman starring as Rose.

It is also a key antidote to the widespread problem of "White Elephant" art--big, swaggering "masterpiece art" self-consciously striving for greatness. In this book, artists, historians, and critics dive deep into art that forgoes such ambition in order to attend to the pleasures and problems of the everyday.
