Overcomer
He that dwell in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the almighty. I will say of the Lord he is my refuge and my fortress, My God, in him I will trust. (Psalm 91:1-2)God is the leader of our path. Everything we go through is destined to be a test for you to overcome, and it will be a testimony for others. A lot of obstacles we face, we find impossible to get through, but once we put our trust in God, we can get through anything. God created you in his image. He will not put more on you than you can bear. Being an overcomer is having faith the size of a mustard seed and believing God to guide you. In this book, you see how the author and others overcame many obstacles, trials, and tribulations. An overcomer is a person who succeeds in dealing with or gaining control of some problems or difficulty. An overcomer has no need to worry. By the end of reading Overcomer, I declare you to feel strong, be bold, and know that God is more than able, and you will overcome any situation that comes your way. Joshua 1:9 states, "Be strong and courageous, do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

After Arson
This essay collection spans a lifetime's worth of characters, settings, themes, and ways of organizing. It is, after all, a collection of Gary Fincke's best work. Yet, for the variety of content covered, from coming-of-age to family to nuclear weapons to space exploration to mass shootings to rock attacks on cars to the author's mother's obsession with potato chips, this collection has a durable thread that ties them all together: the need to observe and record everything. Struggle and resilience. Fear and pleasure. Faith and despair. Love and loathing. All of those tensions are closely examined within the shadow cast by death. As Gary Fincke writes, "Somewhere, early every day, I think the acolyte of terror dreams our bodies as it decides the exact address for delight." This "thinking," in essay after essay, is brilliantly articulated in an ever-evolving, contemporary style. The metaphors are beautiful, the prose is clipped and clean, and the reader is constantly surprised by the connections Fincke draws like the one between his daughter and Charles Manson. A panorama of screams, another of hearts, another of headlights, all of them transformed into memoir. The subjects as varied as a four-part exploration of different kinds of hands, a meditation on terror and the fireworks American children know as Sparklers, and eulogies seeded by love of potato chips and crossword puzzles. Like the best essays, all of these "discover" in an intimate, personal way.

Roping Can Be Hazardous to Your Health
Not everyone could make a funny story out of diving off a thirty-foot windmill into a holding tank with (because of a certain inattention to detail) three feet of water in it. Or out of a day that started with being stung by three scorpions roughly the size of draft animals and went downhill from there. Or out of managing to get your three-year-old grandson bucked off a bull, higher than you'd ever seen a kid fly. Brummett has. Through the wit and the one-liners, Brummett portrays an American West in which the old way awkwardly accommodates the new, in which the day's drudgery is seasoned with humor and punctuated by practical jokes, and in which the irrepressible frontier spirit continues to prevail.
