Robert Goolrick reads & signs A Reliable Wife
(paperback release)
Robert Goolrick will be on hand to read from his NY Times #1 bestselling book. This is one of the most diabolical books we’ve read in a long time… the story is mesmerizing and the characters are as despicable as they can get, but they’re fascinating. This book is finally in paperback and will make a great book club choice.
He placed a notice in a Chicago paper, an advertisement for "a reliable wife." She responded, saying that she was "a simple, honest woman." She was, of course, anything but honest, and the only simple thing about her was her single-minded determination to marry this man and then kill him, slowly and carefully, leaving her a wealthy widow, able to take care of the one she truly loved.
What Catherine Land did not realize was that the enigmatic and lonely Ralph Truitt had a plan of his own. And what neither anticipated was that they would fall so completely in love.
Filled with unforgettable characters, and shimmering with color and atmosphere, A Reliable Wife is an enthralling tale of love and madness, of longing and murder.

Brett
Webb-Mitchell discusses Beyond
Accessibility: Toward Full Inclusion of People with Disabilities in Faith Communities
A church has built an accessibility ramp and perhaps
refitted its restrooms to accommodate a wheelchair. Now what? This new resource
by a noted author of several books on people with disabilities offers a
theological and practical approach for congregations, with clear, targeted
strategies for full inclusion of all members, recognizing and using the gifts
that each member brings to the congregation’s life together.
