The church was real special, like God was always there...his mom was always saying, Going to church was like going on top of a mountain and feeling Gods breeze blow all your troubles away What changed this to the point that Preacher Bernie Parsons believed the Glory of God was no longer present at Highland Hill Church? Read how this preachers confidence of knowing that God is close is jeopardized when he is impacted by a divorce issue, lying, adultery, and murder, all conducted within the boundaries of the church membership. How Reverend Parsons is confronted with these situations creates the pounding question in his mind whether or not Gods Glory is residing with them: has God written the name Ichabod over the church? The name Ichabod, taken from the old testament, poses a query, which asks where is the Glory, or states passively, the Glory has departed.

If you’re an actress or a coed just trying to do a man-size job, a yes-man who turns a deaf ear to some sob sister, an heiress aboard her yacht, or a bookworm enjoying a boy’s night out, Diane Ravitch’s internationally acclaimed The Language Police has bad news for you: Erase those words from your vocabulary! Textbook publishers and state education agencies have sought to root out racist, sexist, and elitist language in classroom and library materials. But according to Diane Ravitch, a leading historian of education, what began with the best of intentions has veered toward bizarre extremes. At a time when we celebrate and encourage diversity, young readers are fed bowdlerized texts, devoid of the references that give these works their meaning and vitality. With forceful arguments and sensible solutions for rescuing American education from the pressure groups that have made classrooms bland and uninspiring, The Language Police offers a powerful corrective to a cultural scandal.

At fifteen, Tony Laporte is what many people would call a throughly spoiled kid. He gets away with a lot because his parents want him to have all the things they never had. But when they surprise him by refusing to let him keep a stray dog he has found, Tony decides to teach them a lesson by running off in his mother's old Plymouth. Driving without a license in the middle of a severe snowstorm, he picks up a hitchhiker named Cindy Reichert, an aloof girl who has always had difficulty forming friendships. To impress Cindy, Tony tries to show off his driving skills and ends up wrecking the car in a very desolated area far from the main highway. After spending precious days bickering with each other and waiting for rescue that never comes, they finally realize that their lives are at stake and they must cooperate to survive. The question is--can they survive?
