Nature or Nurture-- The Comedy of Errors tells the story of two sets of twins accidently separated and mixed at birth. When the four meet, a series of wild mishaps are set into motion by mistaken identities. This is a fast-paced farcical romp full of slapstick and wordplay: one of the bard's most fun plays. He that commends me to mine own content Commends me to the thing I cannot get. I to the world am like a drop of water That in the ocean seeks another drop, Who, falling there to find his fellow forth, Unseen, inquisitive, confounds himself: So I, to find a mother and a brother, In quest of them, unhappy, lose myself.

To Die Upon a Kiss-- Othello is Shakespeare's great tragic play of love, trust, and deceit. Iago, an officer of the watch, sets out to destroy Othello by convincing him that his young bride, Desdemona, has betrayed him and is secretly in love with another man. What sense had I of her stol'n hours of lust? I saw't not, thought it not, it harm'd not me; I slept the next night well, was free and merry; I found not Cassio's kisses on her lips. He that is robb'd, not wanting what is stol'n, Let him not know't and he's not robb'd at all.

Raw Confessions of Depression in Ministry

# data[].attributes.description
From the author: "After surviving two bouts with stress disease and depression, I set out to discover what was actually going on in my life that was leading me so precariously to the edge of self-destruction. I learned to view depression as a disease inherent in leadership, even more widespread among spiritual leaders. When leadership responsibilities are linked to warfare with the world, the flesh, and the devil, you have a formula for all kinds of stress disease." This book shares more than the personal experience of the author. Physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual symptoms of depression are addressed as well as common causes of depression. Sawyer shares nine spiritual disciplines that will be a significant part of reaching a cure to depression and hindering repeat bouts in the future. Randy Sawyer speaks with a voice of experience and a strong desire to help those in ministry find a way to overcome the profound impact of depression on the individual, the family, and the ministry.
