In No Bells Will Ring, Ruth Couch draws on her experiences as an elementary teacher to present the story of a young educator torn between the demands of her career and the needs of her dependent mother. Elizabeth is caught in a web of conflict as her mother continues to engage in behavior that is increasingly troubling. Elizabeth cannot turn to anyone for help without betraying her mother; only faith can sustain and guide her. The author hopes that this story will encourage those who may be struggling with career issues or the challenge of helping a parent deal with the sorrows and frustrations of the later years. The story is a work of fiction. All the human characters are fictitious; the only individual drawn from real life is Oscar the dog.

Is he sweater-worthy? According to Judith Durant no man deserves a sweater until the relationship has progressed to the level of long-term commitment. It’s just too risky to put all that time and effort and love into a knitted garment for a man who might be long gone by the time the sweater actually looks like a sweater.

But knitters do want to make soft, warm things for the people they love — new boyfriends included. So what is the proper project for the it’s been-four-dates-and-we’re-having-a-great-time guy? The Dinner Date Scarf, customized with the colors of his favorite sports team, doesn’t scare him with thoughts of commitment but does give him something warm he’ll be happy to wear to football games.

Simple, shaped projects should be saved for more serious, exclusive relationships. Mittens, socks, and hats are all perfect for that semi-committed phase — they require a little more time and effort but can be quickly dropped if things don’t work out after all. Only when the ring is in hand should work begin on the merino/cotton blend Half-Zip Pullover, a classic, not-too-heavy sweater he will wear for years.

Knit items are excellent gifts for men; they just have to be given at the appropriate time. With Never Knit Your Man a Sweater Unless You’ve Got the Ring, Durant not only warns stitchers about appropriate project-to-relationship ratios, she offers 22 of the smartest patterns available for men’s clothing and accessories.

This is the perfect wedding gift for many couples, having been written by the founder of the Protestant denomination of Christianity, Martin Luther. The three sermons he presents reflect the immense value a couple should place on this holy bonding from God, and what a marriage ring really means. Ministers may also find this book useful because the sermons, or portions of them, can be used in their own sermons or ceremonies. It also contains Luther’s own wording for a wedding ceremony.

Brian Murray-Wachtendorf had a dream that one day he would live in a world free of abusive parents and the dysfunction caused by alcoholism, where children are cherished as the wealth of a family. This dream was not only for him, but for all children. Brian spent his formative years in the housing projects of Little Rock, Arkansas. From there he moved from school to school, foster home to foster home, and learned to survive by his wit and determination. Through the deepest valleys of despair to the summits of emotional exaltation, his story underscores the resiliency of the human spirit. Brian is a survivor of incest, horrible abuse, and the resulting self-indulgence and destructive behavior, but he was always aware there was a “better way.” Beginning at an early age Brian saw what was wrong, and instead of saying, “I can’t,” he said, “I will.”A Three-Ring Marriage: Beyond Dysfunction to a Dynamic Family Life also explores Brian’s unorthodox family of two wives and seven children with candor and enlightenment. Regardless of a person’s belief system, background or family structure, there is something in this book for everyone. Anyone who has ever asked, “do I make a difference?” should read this book. As he shares his discoveries in this poignant story of personal and family development, we find there is a little touch of Brian in us all.
