"In a style reminiscent of Mark Twain and Patrick F. McManus, Quay's first-hand knowledge and love of the land, the people, and the culture of the Ozarks comes through in this whimsical collection of engaging and mostly true stories. A delight for the mind and a balm for the soul-a must read!"Dr. Andrew BishopAnthropologist & Star of TV's Naked and Afraid. The Road to Derry County is a work that arises out of three great loves: faith, family and friends, and the Ozarks. Though sometimes hard to believe, the stories in this book are true ... or would be true if someone had not done the math beforehand (that'll make sense later). Perhaps a bit embellished, they have been told and re-told around campfires and woodstoves from one generation to the next.No matter your heritage, as the wisdom of these ancient hills captures your imagination, the stories herein will touch your heart and leave you richer, happier, and more thoughtful.Mark Allen Quay is an avid naturalist, distinguished scholar, ordained minister, teacher, and Air Force veteran. With two doctoral degrees, 40 years of teaching, and acclaimed literary works, he inspires with tales of astonishing grace, offering wisdom, faith, and a spirit of adventure to all who venture into his world.

A Treatise on Mental Prayer is a classic work of spiritual guidance by the Venerable Father Louis de Ponte, S.J, a renowned Spanish mystic and theologian of the sixteenth century. Drawing from the rich tradition of Christian mysticism, de Ponte offers a comprehensive and practical manual on how to pray according to the Ignatian method of prayer, which consists of three stages: the purgative way, the illuminative way, and the unitive way. In each stage, de Ponte explains the nature, means, and obstacles of mental prayer, as well as the fruits and effects that it produces in the soul. He also provides various examples and exercises to help the reader apply the principles of mental prayer to his or her own spiritual life.This book is a condensed and updated version of the introductions to de Ponte's esteemed six volumes of Meditations, which cover the whole liturgical year and various aspects of Christian doctrine and morality. It is intended to serve as a standalone treatise that can be read independently of the Meditations, or as a companion that can enhance their understanding and practice. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced practitioner of mental prayer, you will find in this book a treasure of wisdom and inspiration that will lead you to a deeper union with God.

REVISED AND UPDATED EDITION 2024 is now available!As political polarization divides families, friends, and even countries, we tend to think we view the world from the perspective of "enlightened objectivity," and that those who disagree with us are biased, irrational, dumb, evil, or even all four. However, the Science of Epistemic Rationality-basically, the science of how we form our beliefs, and whether our beliefs are true - reveals that virtually all of us utilize multiple forms of "mis-thinking" when we form our political beliefs and when we choose which information sources to trust. We even have multiple subconscious goals that compete with and interfere with the discovery of objective truth. Highly intelligent and highly educated people do have some advantages when it comes to getting it right. However, they also have at least nine disadvantages. As explained in this book, there is a tremendous difference between intelligence and epistemic rationality.As both social media and artificial intelligence make disinformation easier and easier to spread and make people easier and easier to mislead, an understanding of how one's political beliefs are formed, and an understanding of how to form them better, have become critical!Maybe, just maybe, a better understanding of how we all form political beliefs will even help us bridge our political divide.

Drawing inspiration from the metaphoric and real-life experiences of women, particularly African American women, Dead Woman Dancing on Her Grave, interweaves poetic narratives to salute, and inspire warrior women from every walk of life-who despite sometimes insurmountable odds, still rise to the call of champions to live out their greatness alongside of those who think themselves less formidable. And to snatch from the mire of mediocrity and lift to new heights of self-awareness and victory, women who have not yet resolved the importance of their place and presence in society, and women who triumph despite barriers designed to bar them from being or becoming their authentic selves-Bravo!

Could you hold onto faith if your deepest secrets were broadcast to the world? Quick to serve her church and community, Melody Harrison is a ray of sunshine wherever she goes. Secretly, though, fear shadows her spirit. Her drive to do more, to serve, to never say no, has become a slave master. If she stops, her guilt will obliterate her ministry, her marriage, her family. She knows she's not worthy, but losing them is a price she isn't willing to pay. Councilman Shane Harrison leads a picture-perfect life-an image he is both proud and protective of. He has an adoring wife and son, and a reputation built on impeccable ethics. One interview at a time, Shane is solidifying his place as a pillar in the community-until a series of startling revelations sends a hammer crashing down on everything he knows. The mirage of their charmed life gives way to the ugly truth-they are, in fact, broken vessels, lost in a great expanse of rubble. Is there hope that God's grace might be greater still? "This is the perfect addition to the Grace series. I absolutely loved it. The characters are real. You will cheer for them. You will cry for them. There are unexpected twists and turns. Michelle does an excellent job of bringing it all together. I anxiously waited for this book after reading the first two. It was well worth the wait." Amazon reviewer "This is a story that will tug on your heart as you root for main character Melody, in her journey to freedom and healing. Highly recommend!" Rosemary Hines, author of the Sandy Cove series

Over a century ago readers of sporting journals in America and Europe relished the tales of Mississippi Delta bear hunter Robert Eager Bobo. Yet, in the years since, this most famous bear hunter of the late 1800s has been all but forgotten - until now. The Bear Hunter: The Life and Times of Robert Eager Bobo in the Canebrakes of the Old South brings to the modern reader, not only the story of Bobo's bear hunting, but a thoroughly fascinating and entertaining picture of pioneer life in the nineteenth century Delta wilderness. Come now with Bob Bobo and a variety of captivating characters - including the notorious outlaw Jesse James - on their quests for black bear in an environment that now exists only on the pages of history: the wild, trackless, Delta canebrake. Gallop at a breakneck pace through sloughs and swamps, where a horse's stumble over a cypress knee could mean sudden disaster; thrill to the savage chorus of the hounds as they pursue their game; charge into the cane to knife the bear before it can decimate the pack; taste the fear when the tables turn and hunter becomes the hunted; relax by the campfire on a frosty November evening and listen to the tales of wolf and panther and gun and knife; laugh, too, at comical stories of old time Delta backwoods ways; and, perhaps, shed a tear, as the inevitable tragedies of life visit your newfound friends. The book will delight hunters, outdoors lovers, nature enthusiasts, southern history buffs, folklore fans, and anyone who just enjoys a good book. But let us not delay! The hunters are gathered; the horses are champing at their bits; the dogs are spoiling for a fight; Bobo is sounding his horn. It is time to ride!This paperback edition of The Bear Hunter is a revised edition that includes a new twelve page appendix containing material not included in the hardback edition (currently out of print) or in the Kindle version.
