STORIES CARRY is a personal memoir about faith, belonging, and the inherited stories that shape us. As the daughter of Chabad emissaries in 1970s Berkeley, California, and now a shlucha (emissary) herself in Atlanta, Georgia, Schusterman, a mother of eight, has spent her life straddling two worlds--deeply rooted in Hasidic tradition while fully engaged in modern society. Through warmth, honesty, and humor, this book extends a hand across perceived divides, welcoming readers into a world that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.

It did not take long to see that Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" would have an enduring impact on American culture. Instantly ubiquitous, it was widely reprinted, celebrated, criticized, and mocked during the years between its January 29, 1845, publication in New York and Poe's death in Baltimore on October 7, 1849. In QUOTHING "THE RAVEN," Paul Lewis follows America's most famous poem during these years from the literary salons where it was discussed, to the newspapers where it was reviewed, to the twenty-nine parodies that made fun of both the poem and its controversial author.

Two hundred fifty years ago, on the eve of the American Revolution, William Bartram, the young naturalist, illustrator, and observer of indigenous customs traveled the Southern backcountry in search of species new to science. His journey was a rich and rhapsodic description of nature and of landscapes largely undisturbed by colonial settlers, though on the eve of great change and upheaval. WILLIAM BARTRAM AND THE NATURE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN is a look back at the nature described by Bartram, as well as the vast changes and seemingly irreversible damage inflicted upon the American landscape since that time.

Nearly two hours past midnight on the moonless night of December 14, 1990, a single-engine Cessna airplane landed at the rural Ware County airport near Waycross, Georgia, then proceeded to taxi and park at an isolated and remote end of one runway. A guard at a nearby prison who had observed the landing alerted local sheriff's deputies, who arrived just in time to block the plane from taking off. The officers observed a large box inside the plane's cabin and, suspecting illegal drugs, obtained a search warrant. To the shock of the deputies, the box contained the body of a young white female.

The Great War of 1914-1918 did not have to last four years. By early 1916, after eighteen months of unprecedented slaughter, the belligerent nations of Europe stood at a crossroads. Their armies were bleeding, their economies collapsing, their populations exhausted. A negotiated peace remained possible, indeed, necessary for their very survival. Yet the men who held Europe's fate in their hands chose to keep digging the grave.

For much of the twentieth century, the relationship between science and Christian faith was framed as an either/or choice. In this compelling intellectual biography, readers are invited to reconsider that assumption through the life and thought of neo-evangelical American Baptist theologian Bernard Ramm (1916-1992), one of the most significant yet underappreciated figures in modern evangelical history.

Through the open-door hospitality of Maranatha Baptist Church, the Plains congregation where Jimmy Carter maintained a membership for his entire post-presidential life, "Jimmy Carter's Sunday School Class" welcomed crowds of curious folks from a vast variety of faiths, lifestyles, and cultural backgrounds on the search for a once-in-a-lifetime experience to witness a national treasure share his relevant insights from time-tested Scriptures. Always thoughtful, never pretentious, fifteen of Carter's lessons illustrate how Scripture-inspired love can reach the world beginning right at home. Four of the selected lessons were taught at The First Baptist Church of the City of Washington, D.C., during President Carter's four years in the Oval Office.
