Who but Jim Beaty would have thought to juxtapose grammar and sacred? The grammar part is down and dirty . . . verbs, nouns, adjectives, and all the rest of that. The sacred part is the Bible and its capacity for good grammar as a means of announcing the good news. Thanks be to God for this book from a passionate teacher who knows the revelatory power of a well-wrought utterance. -- Walter Brueggemann, PhD, Columbia Theological Seminary Sacred Grammar presents a unique system of learning to master sentence structure by first acquainting the struggling writer with the necessary tools for understanding Biblical writing. All of the principles of correct usage are presented in Biblical texts, whose translators are mindful of subtle choices. This fascinating process convinces the new writer that careful, conscious selection of structure and meaning create clear, interesting writing. Dr. James Beaty illustrates the significance of syntax and word choice in select verses while also deconstructing the sentences themselves. No book is more widely, seriously studied or widely translated than the Bible, and now, a writing and grammar text that engages the student in a painless, even pleasant reading and writing experience dramatizes the importance of the right word, and appropriate subordination. This book is fun and fascinating to read. The fearful novice will not only learn.

The author of the New York Times best-selling Maze Runner series leads us on a dark journey of generational horror as we visit The House of Tongues. David Player has spent 30 years trying to forget the traumas of his childhood. The threats, the kidnappings, the murders. The imagined curses of a people born centuries earlier, passed from father to son, mother to daughter, generation to generation. Its climax came in human form, a monster of a man, one of the most notorious serial killers the nation has ever seen: Pee Wee Gaskins. And Gaskins had a particular hatred for the Player family, then for David, himself, who barely escaped those years with his own life intact. Now David is back, his four children in tow, visiting his parents' home, a place he has learned to cherish despite the evils that haunted his younger days. But no sooner does he return than a stranger visits their doorstep, the son of Pee Wee Gaskins. In a terrifying display, right in front of the kids, the man utters threats until he chokes on his own tongue, sparking a series of events that drag David and his family back into the days of curses and murders, onto a path of unimaginable terror, all too familiar. That path leads to an old gothic tower in the woods, a place David had blocked from his memory, a house of horrors both past and present. The House of Tongues.
