An inspirational fictional story about a young man's quest to find a Brahma bull sold illegally into the rodeo circuit. A unique pet (Tuff Bramble), he and his father raised it from birth. Jacob's search rekindles the values and respect he has for his father and grandfather. This two-and-a-half-year modern-day quest leads him into the professional rodeo circuit, culminating in an epic championship win at the nationals in Sedona, Arizona. This is a story about a boy who had traveled with his parents, crossing the country in the rodeo circuit. After his parents are killed in a tragic car accident, he is sent to an orphanage until he was of age to go out on his own. In an effort to find new friends, he gets involved in illegal things and finds himself in a man's prison. Lucky enough to have people who knew his deceased parents, he is nurtured and protected. After serving some years, he is released and finds himself wandering on a lonely highway in Eastern Texas. Hungry and thirsty and feeling weak, he stumbles upon a dwindling ranch in need of repairs. With great help from God, the rancher recognizes the young man and takes him in. Several years later, he marries the rancher's daughter and has a son. From birth, he teaches his son all he knows of ranching and animals. He also raised two orphaned girls and treats them as his own. Eighteen years later, he has a sudden heart attack and passes away. His son gives up a college career to go in search of the pet Brahma bull his father and he had raised from a sickly calf. This two-year search culminates in a professional rodeo career and an entourage of people who greatly love and respect him in his search. With some turmoil and special people along the way, the young man finds his special pet and is determined to overcome great odds to win him back. With a stunning and violent ending, the young man overcomes the odds and wins with a spectacular ending.

Most human beings have their own private places, places to hide, places to conceal their most tender feelings, places to dream, cry, nurse wounds and heal, undisturbed by casual public scrutiny, uncaring passersby. I visualize my private place as a big, leafy-green bramble bush, full of protective thorns. These thorns are long and sharp, to be sure, but they are not poisonous. They are there to protect my private place and keep intruders away - - unless I decide to invite them in - - and they do provide safe, secure perches for visitors . . . like you. "I think of my life as a book. It has a beginning and an end, with a finite number of pages in between. Across the years, there have been certain moments, certain feelings and moods, certain experiences and observations, certain days - - good and bad - - that linger in memory, bookmarks in a commonplace life. I am not an artist but I try to paint my sketches and pictures with words, brush stroke word by brush stroke word."

For over seventy years, there has been one book that law students have read to prepare for what they were about to encounter. That book is The Bramble Bush. After all these years and many imitators, The Bramble Bush remains one of the most popular introductions to the law and its study. Llewellyn introduces students to what the law is, how to read cases, how to prepare for class, and how justice in the real world relates to the law. Although laws change every year, disputes between people haven't altered all that much since Llewellyn first penned The Bramble Bush, and the process of moving from private dispute to legal conflict still follows the patterns he described. Moreover, the steps of a legal dispute, from arguments to verdict, to opinion, to review, to appeal, to opinion have changed little in their significance or their substance. Cases are still the best tools for exploring the interaction of the law with individual questions, and the essence of what law students must learn to do has persisted. If anything, many of the points Llewellyn argued in these lectures were on the dawning horizon then but are in their mid-day fullness now.

John C. Yoder examines political culture and behavior in the book of Judges. Although the Deuteronomistic editor portrayed the "judges" as moral champions, the men and women of valor were preoccupied with the problem of gaining and maintaining political power. They were ambitious, at times ruthless; they might be labeled chiefs, strongmen, or even warlords in today's world, using violence, patronage, and the control of the labor and reproductive capacity of subordinates, as well as other strategies that did not require the constant exercise of force.

Written generations ago, but highly relevant today, The Bramble Bush remains one of the books most recommended for students to read when considering law school, just before beginning its study, or early in the first semester. Its first edition began as a collection from a series of introductory lectures given by legal legend Karl Llewellyn to new law students at Columbia University. It still speaks to law, legal reasoning, and exam-taking skills in a way that makes it a classic for each new generation. The Quid Pro Legal Legends Edition includes an extensive, practical, and modern Introduction by Stewart Macaulay, a senior law professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Macaulay updates the current reader on the book's continued relevance and application, offers a practical perspective to new law students, and places the original edition in its historical context. Simply put, Macaulay writes, this "is a book that anyone interested in law schools or law should read." The Quid Pro Books edition of the classic work also includes several unobtrusive annotations, to update the reader on legal terms and cultural references made in the original that may not be clear to today's reader. Moreover, this is a carefully proofread and presented edition, lacking the errors and scanning mistakes of other presses' editions in print. It is also available in paperback and clothbound formats from Quid Pro, including the annotations and new Introduction by Prof. Macaulay.

On the other side, it's a different story. On the other side of the Bramble, something extraordinary can happen, something that changes everything.
