Zondervan has announced the acquisition of One Light Still Shines: My Life Beyond the Shadow of the Amish Schoolhouse Shooting (ISBN: 978-0-310-33675-4; October 1, 2013). In October of 2006, a lone gunman entered an Amish schoolhouse in Pennsylvania, shot ten schoolgirls, and then turned the gun on himself. It was an unimaginable tragedy that gripped the entire nationbut one story from that horrific day has yet to be told. Now Marie Roberts Monville, the wife of the man who created such horror, tells her story for the very first time. Unbelievably, hers is a not simply a story of sorrow and destruction, but also one of majestic deliverance, unending compassion, breathtaking forgiveness, and grace-filled redemption.

When you hear the name Charles Dickens, you almost automatically put in your mind an image of that cute little orphan boy roaming the streets of London picking pockets, or maybe the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future guiding Scrooge on a walk down memory lane. You probably don't think of The Mystery of Edwin Drood. In picking their show for the Curtain Up celebration, the Kavinoky Theatre did, and the entire Buffalo theatre community has benefited from it.

This exhibition Occupied and Unwelcome is a collaboration that merges the landscapes of Zuccotti Park with the Sonoran Desert, two locales with seemingly nothing in common. Yet they represent a very singular and distinct reality of American life: the faceless and nameless people who live in a bleak land of supposedly boundless opportunities, who, in reality, are powerless before the forces of globalization, economic hegemony, and political corruption/dysfunction, whose sole purpose is to maintain an unstable world equilibrium that favors only the select few.
