Finding The Red Brick Road

The Red Brick Road is the story of Dorothy's journey before she took the Yellow Brick Road.

Dorothy is washed up on the shore of a strange and polluted land. Meeting an old woman on the beach who claims she was once a witch, she is told to follow the red brick road in order to find the Warlock, who is a powerful wizard. On the way she meets two companions with whom she shares her adventure and discovers she must face the Baron, the vile man obsessed with wealth who has caused the land to become sickened. Dorothy is hunted every step of the way by a fiend made of churning fumes that the Baron has sent after her in order to pollute her heart and mind. Will she manage to evade this relentless monster? Will she free the land of pollution's grip and end the terrible reign of the Baron? Journey with her and find out what happens as she follows the red brick road. Originally written for 11-16 year olds, The Red Brick Road has been enjoyed by many adults who have been touched by its light. It is a story with contemporary relevance and a very big heart, one filled with goodness and love. Edwin Page is the author of numerous other books, including Orc: It's Not Easy Being Green and The Butterfly Riders.

A new adventure for Dorothy, Toto, Lion, Scarecrow, and the Tin Woodsman by the great-grandson of L. Frank Baum.

The book, All The Pastor’s Men: The Associate Minister in The Black Church Setting is a must for pastors and associate ministers in African American Churches. There have been virtually no instruction manuals written for African American associate ministers by either clergy or laity. Even though the circumstances in autonomous churches differ, much of what happens in ministry between pastors and parishioners and the associate minister is more or less linked together in most African American Churches. All The Pastors Men is written in detail and provides many solutions to problem that transpire between pastors and associate ministers as well as between parishioners and associate ministers. Included in this book are job descriptions, covenants, and a multitude of information that has been used by the author in his local church, as well as information that will help the associate minister in his preaching, devotional time, family life, and in various area of ministry. Hopefully it will help to create better understanding and relationships between pastors and associate ministers everywhere.

In my seventh week of graduate school (having gone back 18 years after I graduated from college) I packed up my minivan with the red flames on it, took my kids and left my not-so-nice husband. I then spent the next year becoming a single mom, a teacher, a size six and a cougar. This is my memoir. Yes, unfortunately, it's a common story that way too many women have gone through; but here's the twist: my story is written in facebook status updates only. One line for each triumph, each failure, each heartbreak and each exhausting, overwhelming, non-sleeping, anxiety crammed, toddler filled, student teaching, boy crazy, wonderful moment of that year. I realize now, that year, was not only my most challenging year but my favorite as well. FINDING MY STATUS is a fresh and original look at an all too common predicament. It's funny, engaging, and topical. My friends and family log in to facebook each day to check my status. The book was created primarily from the actual status updates from my facebook page. And the rest...went through my mind as I narrated that first year where I found myself again. I think I was lost between the cushions of my sofa where all of the loose change goes...

Toby Peters investigates threats to Judy Garland and a body on the MGM lot A year after The Wizard of Oz’s smash success, the yellow brick road is crumbling. The famous sets are stashed on a soundstage in the depths of the MGM back lot while the studio plans a sequel, and a strange addition has just been made to the scene: a munchkin in full costume lying facedown with a knife buried in his back. The studio boss calls Toby Peters, a Hollywood detective with a reputation for discretion, and asks for help keeping the murder quiet. MGM is a family company, and Judy Garland, who found the body, is a wholesome actress whose rising star cannot risk a whiff of scandal. But as Peters quickly learns, the threat to Miss Garland isn’t the tabloids: It’s the psychopathic killer whose turf is the back lot, and whose crime of choice is the murder of the silver screen’s finest.
