Dean Harold Weathers has two problems. Someone killed his star chemistry professor, in his laboratory right on campus, no less, after filling his nose up with cocaine. To make matters worse, the suspect list includes Weathers' boss, Provost John Martin, and Professor Linda Harmon, chair of the chemistry department. Weathers finds a silver lining, however, when it becomes clear that Lieutenant Annette Trieri, head of the investigations unit of the Durango Police Department, seems as interested in him as he is in her. But this mutual interest is misunderstood by whoever killed the professor, because now they are trying to kill Weathers, and, for good measure, Trieri as well. Together, the couple manages to stay alive while unraveling the chemistry professor's murder and uncovering a second, more sinister killing to which Weathers is also connected. Campus politics and drug money are a lethal combination in The Dean's Murders.

This Life Guide is designed for use in conjunction with the Generation One music CD (www.profilesproject.com) in either group or individual study. In group settings, the Life Guide lends itself favorably to a small group ministry of a church, as well as a sermon series a pastor might devote to the lives of the apostles. If the Life Guide is used in a small group setting, it will become apparent that the material on each disciple is perhaps more than can be covered in one meeting, so the group leader may want to select what he or she thinks are the most relevant and appropriate questions for the group's discussion. Similarly, if a pastor chooses to preach a series on the lives of the apostles, although he will want to do his own Biblical studies, he will find a wealth of information in the Life Guide biographical sections on each of the apostles. Again, for the needs and interests of his church, he may choose to tailor his messages to cover key aspects of a disciple's life as it best fits the needs and interests of his church. For each of the disciples in the Life Guide, a biography of each disciple is given, followed by discussion questions (Discussion) which seeks to address different Biblical themes taken from each of the disciple's lives. These questions are then followed by quotes (Expressions) from various authors in the Christian tradition that generally relate to the themes previously addressed in the discussion questions. Following the quotes, several Scriptural passages are provided (Meditations) for further reflection on each disciple. Each study then closes with an opportunity to prayerfully reflect (Reflections) on certain attributes exhibited by that apostle, in terms of gratitude, mindset, and a personal aspiration.

In an area of Houston known as the Heights, boys had been going missing for years, but it was the peace-and-love 1970s, so police just called them runaways, even if they'd left with little more than a swimsuit and some change. When the truth was uncovered, and police - and the rest of Houston - realized the boys had become victims of notorious American serial killer Dean Corll, Houston recoiled in horrified shock. Residents realized that they had not only become the site of the most grisly mass murder in Texas history, but the worst mass murder in all of U.S. history. The word serial killer had not yet been coined, and as body after decomposing body was uncovered from the dirt floor of the boat shed where Corll and his two young accomplishes had buried most of the victims, there were hardly words for what this sadistic lust killer had done. The depraved evil that Corll and his accomplices - two teen boys themselves who were promised money but eventually developed a thrill for the kill - was revealed as one of the cohorts, Wayne Henley, calmly, affably, told the stories of how after Corll sexually assaulting them and tortured them in unimaginable fashion, they would kill them and take the boys' bodies away to bury them beneath the dirt. This serial killer's biography will haunt you, especially as you learn more about the sadistic torture methods lust killer Corll used on his young victims, all lured to his various apartments by people they believed were their friends. While Corll is dead, killed by Henley during the lust killer's last night of depravity, the case remains entwined in Houston history, and unforgettable for the families of those who lived it.
