Nancy slaps palms with her friends and laughs a lot. She wears bell-bottom pants which swing when she walks through Uhuru Gardens. Nancy will finish secondary school this year, but she doesn't really know what will happen to her after that. Deo reads seriously, but he also spends many evenings in bars. He works in a factory laboratory, where his Form VI education elevates him above the other workers. He knows that there are some "big men" who live off the sweat of the others at the factory; it isn't right, but what does a lone youth do about it? Deo also wants to marry Nancy. Magege, the manager of 'Mountain Goat Rubber Factory', has the means to fulfill all his personal wants-including his taste for young girls. Nancy's mother, Maria, has no private means except selling her own body and her dream of a better life for her daughter. The Wicked Walk swirls around the lives of these four, set on a backdrop of workers' struggles and the rhythm of Dar es Salaam as city dwellers, and especially youths, know it. In this searingly honest, and at times poignant, novel the author raises important questions about the position of women in society, the causes of prostitution, corrupt and inefficient managers, and the groupings of youth who struggle towards ideological clarity as they attempt to understand their society.

How do I go on? How do I endure? Can I be safe, protected and cared for? Where or who can I run to in my time of need? These are silent questions that have been asked throughout the years. How can the life of a king, shepherd or written accounts of ancient wars in the Psalms be relevant in the 21st century? Walking with the Creator opens up the psalms and brings them alive applying them to the struggles and issues of daily living. Struggles with trust, depression, sorrow and endurance have all been experienced since biblical times. The lessons learned by a Middle Eastern shepherd and King are lessons that can be easily applied today. Knowing where to run to or who to call on in a time of need can be the source of great strength, it can be the single greatest key to making it through another day. On the battlefield of depression or loneliness or in the desert of hardship, redirecting focus on to what brings hope is catalyst to turning lives around and bringing about a bright future of promise. Walking with the Creator reveals the path of discovery which leads to finding this daily promise of hope.

Maureen Swanson is the scourge of the neighborhood. At age nine, she already has a reputation as a hard slapper, a loud laugher, a liar, and a stay-after-schooler. The other kids call her Stinky. So sometimes when Maureen passes the crumbling (and haunted?) Messerman mansion, she imagines that she is Maureen Messerman–rich, privileged, and powerful. Then she finds a way into the forbidden, boarded-up house. In the hall are portraits of seven young women wearing elaborate gowns and haughty expressions. Maureen has something scathing to say to each one, but then she notices that the figures seem to have shifted in their frames. So she reaches out her finger to touch the paint–just to make sure–and touches . . . silk! These seven daughters of privilege are colder and meaner than Maureen ever thought to be. They are wicked, wicked ladies, and Maureen has something they want. . . .

At first glance Yankee born Sheryl Vasso and Southerner Cammy Tidwell make an unlikely pair. Sheryl, who holds a Doctorate of Education from Immaculata University, has spent the last several years traveling the world as a professor of teachers enrolled in graduate studies. Currently, she is Chair of the Master of Science and Education Program at Philadelphia Biblical University and thrills to incorporate God's Word into every classroom discussion. After pursuing her own Master's of Combined Sciences from Mississippi College, Cammy found that marriage and motherhood took her out of the "professional world" for a while although she never once stopped studying, learning and teaching God's word. A close look, however, shows similarities far outweigh their differences. They are devoted to their families, and they both love words. It was through "words" that Sheryl and Cammy met when Cammy first heard Sheryl as a speaker. A few months later Sheryl was in the audience when Cammy spoke. Not long afterward, an incredible friendship began and a partnership was born. Now they share the speaking platform and their words in print at www.wordsofworth.com. Their first published work, Word Wise, is rooted in a difference they often discussed. While Sheryl has been reading a proverb a day for over twenty years, Cammy, also a faithful student of Scripture has just come to "appreciate" this book of wisdom. One thing for sure, both Sheryl and Cammy love words and desire to use them to glorify God in a wise way. (Both Sheryl and Cammy live in Newtown, PA) Word Wise connects King Solomon's wisdom found in the Old Testament book of Proverbs with the New Testament words of King Jesus. By bridging one King's wisdom with another King's words, you will find practical instruction for using words in the wisest way.
