For over a century David Belasco's MADAME BUTTERFLY has been known only in its one-act version. The three-act Butterfly, which was Belasco's original draft, is far richer in its character development, far deeper in its depiction of the clash of two civilizations and far clearer in the prices that must be paid when such an event occurs. This "Lost Butterfly" will answer questions left unanswered in the short play. It delves deeply into the conflicted souls of the three primary characters. The "Lost Butterfly" breathes fresh life and great meaning into the Butterfly saga. In addition, readers can now enjoy a full-length modern rendering of Belasco's three-act play as well as his original draft captured on microfiche; both are found in Appendices A and B of this fascinating volume.

Sometimes, life offers you shortcuts; sometimes it doesn't. When you don't learn life's lessons, the Universe keeps giving you similar opportunities until you learn them. Do you find the same negative thoughts and feelings keep cycling back into your mind, even after you thought you already dealt with them? Do you have life experiences and relationships that seem to repeat the same old unfulfilling pattern? This has certainly been true for me. In "Embrace Your Truth, Embrace Your Wounds," I share how I chose to suppress my emotions and run from difficult life challenges. So, I was destined to repeat them. This is a bite-sized book that offers a beginning point with information and resources for anyone desiring to make personal changes and searching for the first step forward. Our wounds inform our unique point of view -- how we perceive ourselves, people, situations, opportunities. It is our personal perception lens. When we allow our bruised hearts to open and our wounds to be cleared, our perception lens will also be cleared. Embracing my wounds, allowing myself to deeply feel their pain, rather than resisting them, was the process that allowed my gradual enlightenment and led me to a sense of release and empowerment. Let me share with you my experiences working through my mental and emotional pain, my path toward recovery, and the tools I found useful to help me regain my balance and inner harmony. I wish for you a journey of wonder, and the joy of discovering and embracing your own Truth.
Join Li'l Ball on a bouncing adventure that teaches the power of saying sorry. A delightful SEL story for ages 5-8.
The Scripture that started this journey is, "Foreasmuch as you know you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver or gold, from the vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Jesus Christ" (1 Peter 1:18-19). I began to ask myself' What is that vain conversation received by tradition"? I have been taught and pursued four views of God and His intention for our lives. Each is true but dependent on the others for a complete understanding of our destiny in God. Each is inadequate without the others.GOD IS THE: DIVINE BUTLER (He is the indulgent Father).DIVINE WATCHERMAKER (He has provided all we need. It's up to us to figure things out).DIVINE LAWYER (He is the ultimate Judge).DIVINE EMOPLOYER (We are His servants). These devotions address the issues and inadequacies associated with singularly focusing our destiny on less than all four views

There is only a mystery of what a mother endures while pursuing the safety of her children. Madea derived from the name "mother dear" also known as (Gal) tells those among the descendants about love, rearing, and the impositions of intimidations that the Harris Family tolerates as their lives were entrusted by a society of disdain regarding the rights of humanity. This name does not personify the "Tyler Perry's" fictional character "Madea"; but this name is indicative of the relationship in most ethnic households meaning strength and support, honor and love. Madea taught her children to waste nothing but to offer kindness to their neighbors as one day that spirit of love would find itself back to them. As I listened to various narratives of my family's heritage, it became a legacy to me, a refreshing story, but a heartbreaking experience of one so dear to me, my grandmother Isabella Lee Harris who paved the way for all of her children to honor patience, kindness, and give a deaf ear to anger, and discord.

Each of us has been given a gift: our life. Someday we must return it to its rightful owner. We are free to use this gift in any way we choose: to glorify God or to glorify ourself. St. Paul used his to glorify God and, in so doing, found the secret of joy. I decided to write a devotional commentary on his letter to the fledgling Christian community in Philippi. They too were discovering the secret of genuine joy. I am hoping that the same faith which dazzled them will do the same for you, and that the same joy which filled their hearts will fill yours. Get ready to shine like stars.
How does a poor, Hispanic girl living in the projects of New Mexico grow up to work on Capitol Hill, meet a U.S. President, and become a state James Madison Fellow? Idell Koury can tell you how-through the grace of Jesus Christ. Idell, lovingly nicknamed "I Baby" by her father, had an unstable childhood with a father who would disappear for longs periods of time and a mother whose methods of coping to deal with her painful past were the only way she knew to deal with her pain. But God had His hand on her whether she was in foster care or seeking refuge in one of her half-sibling's home. Because of her passion for education and her brilliant mind, Idell received the opportunity to work on Capitol Hill. While she pursued a career in shaping our nation's education system, someone was pursuing her, and she had no idea-until she found Him. And her whole world changed. As you journey with Idell from New Mexico to D.C. to California to South Carolina, you will discover the value of surrendering control and allowing God to direct your path. You will encounter the redeeming power of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. And you will see how God really is a good Father. Because He always takes care of His children. Even His I Baby.

Nearly all innovation is done by teams. And while there are many books about the innovation process, and also many about managing teams, the management of innovation teams has gone unaddressed. This matters, because innovation teams are not like other teams. Most teams and their managers know where they are headed. They've probably been there and done it previously, more than once. Innovation is different. The problem objective has been outlined, but the journey and the destination are full of unknowns and untrieds. The team is tasked with going where none have gone before-with scaling a mountain whose height, form, and hidden passes are unknown, and doing so before a rival team from the other side of the mountain finds the summit. There's no simple formula to enable innovation team managers to accomplish this daunting task. But Jonathan Cagan and Peter Boatwright-Carnegie Mellon professors and practitioners with a combined 50+ years of experience in research, consulting, and hands-on innovation-have learned a lot about what works and what doesn't. In Managing the Unmanageable, they offer 13 tips that can greatly improve the odds for success for any innovation team. Filled with eye-opening real-world examples, bolstered by groundbreaking research studies, and enlivened with illustrations by artist Kurt Hess, it's a quick, fascinating read that any manager with a mandate to innovate will find irresistible-and essential.
"Truly a page turner, one is left guessing until the last chapter about who is pulling the strings of this legal thriller."Robert M. Reece, MD, author of To Tell The Truth, Double Blind Double Cross, Strong Medicine andThe Lewellyns from Vincennes. ___A quiet Cape Cod village is the setting for a corrupt plan to steal consultant Glen Deegan's valuable waterfront property, the little he has left after a contentious divorce.An innocent rendezvous with an alluring, younger woman traps Glen in a nightmare with multiple murders, drug addiction, and prostitution, and Glen himself becomes the murder suspect. That the devil is in the details comes home full force in Len Egan's premier novel. The book's success is in how cleverly it displays what it takes in the real world to solve a mystery: the examination of scores of records, a hunt through megabytes of crime scene footage, careful forensics and hours tracking suspects.Author Egan pieces these elements together in a tight-kit mystery that's underscored by the author's rich knowledge of crime law. Yet despite the support of his team of pros, Glen Deegan remains a suspect in jeopardy until the very end - keeping readers riveted as they turn the pages of The Night Not at the Blue Heron Inn.
