Children are at peace when those who care for them have learned to rest in God’s loving arms. I know this because long before my mother wrote this book I saw her live its truth. A Pillow on the Highway is a living, breathing exposition of Jeremiah 6:16, which brings into the brightest focus what the author has lived for decades and what God Almighty intends us to experience every day...a treasure of truth and testimony that will transform your life. LCDR Carey Cash, US Navy Chaplain, author of A Table in the Presence; Naples, Italy By using simple situations all around us to describe God’s abundant and gracious providence, we discover we can truly rest and trust in our God who is our pillow. Mark Gollop; Dorset, England A Pillow on the Highway is a strong message about how we have lost our way. The picture is the story of our lives. Each chapter brings us back to the only true rest – surrender, daily surrender to the sovereignty of God. Peggy Davis; Virginia Beach, Virginia In this unique book, Billie Cash shows us that Christ’s mighty, finished work opens to us a rest that our frantic, modern world can never deliver. In a deeply creative and most refreshing way Billie draws her reader out after this awesomely available rest. Here is comfort for the suffering, wisdom for the busy, insight for the thoughtful...inspiration on every page. Derek Bingham, adjunct professor of English Literature, John Brown University, AR; Prolific author; Belfast, Ireland

It's Spring 1974--prices are spiraling upward and President Nixon is embroiled in the Watergate fiasco.

An all-access pass to what goes on backstage, onstage, and on the way to the stage. What's a tour bus like? What are the band members saying to each other on stage? Exactly how much sex, how many drugs, how much rock 'n' roll are we talking here? The Musician's Guide to the Road answers all these questions and many, many, many more. Both a valuable primer designed to prepare young musicians for life on the road and an entertaining memoir of the touring life written by a seasoned musician, this is the book that reveals the scene behind the scenes. Chapters focus on preparing to tour, touring by van and bus, the day of the show, the afternoon before the show, the night of the show, and the morning after, life on the road, and the end of the road.
What role should ambition play in our lives? Our culture generally buys the American Dream that yes, we can fulfill all our aspirations. But to seek personal power and fame in the competitive world of Western culture has a dark side. Ambition can be subtle and enticing, leading to great unhappiness. Questions about ambition are more urgent now than they have ever been. What is ambition, exactly, and is it okay to be ambitious? What part does self-esteem play in personal growth and productivity? Can the ego's drive to get ahead and make a name for oneself lead to obsession or a growing narcissism? Does the desire to do one's best constitute ambition, or faithfulness to one's calling? Can personal character and integrity be eroded by too much celebrity and success? The writers in this book address these complex questions about ambition in a variety of ways and in wonderfully different voices. The pieces range from personal musings to thought experiments and more formal reflections. With elegance and wisdom, the writers raise and reflect on the question that lies at our most intimate core of being and at the very center of our culture.

Katherine is 17, living alone in the beautiful, desolate landscape of southern Arizona. Her mother is feckless, her father busy with his new family. Meeting Son, the scion of a local rancher, seems like deliverance. They marry and live as a family in his parents' venerable adobe house, but it soon becomes clear that Son is a man who, as his father says, has a "young heart near withered beneath the breastbone." Katherine must find her own way during a dangerous months-long drought, when everything seems to be disintegrating around her. Susan Froderberg's incantatory language -- and her deep knowledge of both the complexities of a small, deeply-rooted place and the human heart -- make Old Border Road soar.

Choosing the wrong road could be disastrous! Will he choose the right one? Or is there a right one? Even after his decision is made, there are many twists and turns in the road he has chosen and obstacles to overcome. Each one of these choices could change his life forever.
Long overshadowed by the American Civil War, the Mexican-American War (1846–1848) has received significantly less attention from historians partly because of its questionable origin and controversial outcome. Rather than treat the conflict with a form of historical amnesia, the contributors to this volume argue that the Mexican-American War was a formative experience for the more than three hundred future Civil War generals who served in it as lower-grade officers. The Mexican War was the first combat experience for many of them, a laboratory that equipped a generation of young officers with practical lessons in strategy, tactics, logistics, and interpersonal relationships that they would use later to command forces during the Civil War.
