THE
HAPPY DAY
Evelyn King Mumaw
"I decided to try something I’d
never heard of doing. I’d think real
hard about this wonderful day, about what
it was like, about where I was, about how
happy I was. I’d vow never to forget
it. . . ."
WHEN
DEATH ANNOUNCES ITS NEARNESS
Evelyn King Mumaw
"I’m almost 83. I can’t
live forever. . . . Why should I try so
hard to stay here when the end of life,
sooner or later, is inevitable? But I do
want to stay. . . . "
AN
AMERICAN WOMAN LEARNS ABOUT MEXICO TIME
"The house these people were living
in was marked by poverty according to
American standards. Yet there we were,
being offered food, drink, and a good
time."
Kristy King
THE
ENIGMA OF ANGER:
REFLECTIONS ON A SOMETIMES DEADLY SIN
Garret Keizer
"Go on, tell me it’s only three
limbs off a tree. I want somebody to tell
me it’s only three limbs off a tree.
How about if I break only three limbs on
an idiot? God, was I mad!"
Kingsview
WHAT AMOS MIGHT RANT
ABOUT (OR NOT) TODAY: TESTING ANGER AS
RESOURCE
Michael A. King
"I want to do what I have rarely
deliberately and consciously done: write
in anger."
THE
BASKETBALL PUSH
Marshall V. King
"What does it mean that I am quick
to anger? How do I use the passion in
ways that bring joy. . . ?"
ON
LEARNING HOW TO THINK: WHY COMING FACE
TO FACE WITH BEING HUMAN IS TO BEGIN THE
DANGEROUS ROAD TO TRUTH
Christian Early
"Christian education asks students
to set out on a self-revealing journey
because it is the way to see God amid the
strong urge to fight, flee, or
freeze."
REMEMBERING
THE FUTURE:
SEPTEMBER 11 AND WAR WITH IRAQ
J. Denny Weaver
"The important point is to see that
the people who perpetrate violent acts on
both sides are captive to a fatal belief
that more violence will end the
cycle."

LINCOLN AND THE CIVIL
WAR: REVIEW OF THREE BOOKS
Daniel Hertzler
"Adams . . . begins by quoting . . .
Charles Dickens, who identified the Civil
War as a conflict over money. "We
Northerners like to read about Lincoln
the martyr and the dying god, but do we
want to know about Lincoln the dictator
who circumvented the Constitution to wage
war on the South?"
The
Turquoise Pen
WOMAN FINALLY REALIZES
HER DESK IS DOWN THE HALL
Noël R. King
"If I had only followed my sense of
unease early on and inquired about it, I
might well have discovered in just a few
days that I was sitting at another
woman’s desk."
