Award-winning Amarillo Globe-News columnist David Horsley is back with another collection of his personal essays from the newspaper. This time David's readers have selected over 100 of his best columns on topics ranging from the humorous to the serious to the sublime. Here are light-hearted favorites such as Chaw McCuddy's review of violinist Itzhak Perlman, David's encounter with a feral cat named Osama and the women who defended it, The Colonoscopy Chronicles, the true story of a black bra and how it inflamed readers' imaginations, and fantasies such as the Magnetron an imaginary device for disabling loud car stereos. Serious subjects close to David's heart proved popular with readers as well, such as his reflections on the death of his father and the tragedy of the space shuttle Columbia. Included are essays about parenting, computers, handguns, and a requiem for Gus the dog. Topics of global significance are treated as well: 9/11, war, terrorism, and homelessness. David writes honestly about religion and politics in this volume, examining the proper role of critical thinking in religion and exploring the implications of public prayer. This book will have you laughing one minute and crying the next, which might be why Texas Panhandle readers voted him Amarillo's most popular newspaper columnist.

In a Perth County farmhouse some time during the 1930s, a boy named Owen decides to spend the summer putting on plays with the help of his cousins, his grown-up relatives and the neighbourhood children. One of the plays they put on is their adaptation of a Victorian novel, The Saga of Caresfoot Court. In James Reaney's Listen to the Wind, we watch a double story unfold: we see Owen fighting illness and trying to get his parents back together again; and we see Angela Caresfoot treading her way through a world of evil manor-houses and sinister Lady Eldreds. The two stories intertwine and illuminate each other.

The new book of essays by poet and publicist Elia Pekica Pagon titled The Wisdom of Aramis talks about real-life treasures as opposed to false ones. It emphasizes all that really matters in life through simple truths from our everyday lives. The Wisdom of Aramis provides us with profound messages drawn from the lessons we can learn from our best friends and most devoted companions, our furry angels. It is a book dedicated to the author’s beloved pug, Aramis Giving of Good, who will always stay in her heart and who will fill the hearts of the readers with such a great sentiment of love, peace, tolerance, and compassion. The book talks about the joy of unconditional love, about deep compassion and inner peace, about the importance of acceptance and sincere kindness, about the magic of patience and miraculous coincidences. The book gives us the chance to discover a better world and a better version of ourselves through our self-awareness through which we can truly get to know ourselves, find our place in this world and beyond, and live in perfect harmony with nature and the entire universe. There is so much to learn from our pets. Everything we love about them is what we miss most in our lives, and that is true friendship—a pair of sincere eyes, a face without a social mask, someone to be here for us when no one else is, someone to understand us and love us unconditionally. We enjoy their company because they help us be who we really are, and they teach us how to enjoy our lives and this world in such a lovely way. Our beloved companions help us find our inner peace, and that’s exactly how we can establish universal peace—by bringing peace into our lives.

Keith Guzman was born in San Francisco in 1960. He has lived his entire life in the San Francisco bay area. It was in the year 2001 when he first came to Jesus. He read the Bible from cover to cover at that time and concluded that one word could sum it up. That word of course was love. While at a Bible study the leader of the study suggested that more than study was needed. She said to write a prayer, song, or, poem. In this way one could strengthen their bond with God. The leader of the group had kept constant eye contact with Keith as she said this. Keith believed this to be a clear message from God. That night as he lie asleep he awoke to the need to write down words which made no sense to him at that time. Upon awakening the following morning he read what he had written. To his surprise the words made perfect sense and he could not believe how well they were lined up on unlined paper. This took place again and again over the next several nights. Soon the words began to come to him during the day. This book is just a small sample of some of those words.
