Edmund Hansen is the pioneer in the use of the episode approach to memoir writing. In the episode approach, an activity like family camping is told in its entirety and not integrated piece-meal chronologically with other on-going activities. Many episodes have the capability to stand-alone as a publishable short story. Edmund views life''''s peaks and valleys as equally important in defining the person we are today, and both are to appear in a memoir. While we share in common with humanity the growth stages of life, individually we have a separate and unique walk. Our task is to identify the 100 or so episodes that clearly characterize us so our relatives both living and yet unborn will better understand the era and culture that molded us, the decisions we made, the historical and family events that occurred and the significant individuals who helped shape our personality. SO HOW DOES THIS MANUAL HELP? It provides step-by-step- assistance with: Listing the significant dates and events in one''''s life Identifying the 100 or so episodes the composite of which is one''''s memoirs

Discussions about the Sabbath often center around moralistic laws and arguments over whether a person should be able to play cards or purchase liquor on Sundays. In this volume, popular author Walter Brueggemann writes that the Sabbath is not simply about keeping rules but rather about becoming a whole person and restoring a whole society. Importantly, Brueggemann speaks to a 24/7 society of consumption, a society in which we live to achieve, accomplish, perform, and possess. We want more, own more, use more, eat more, and drink more. Keeping the Sabbath allows us to break this restless cycle and focus on what is truly important: God, other people, all life. Brueggemann offers a transformative vision of the wholeness God intends, giving world-weary Christians a glimpse of a more fulfilling and simpler life through Sabbath observance.
