A Christmas controversy turns deadly for a tiny New England village in a mystery that offers “a sharp perspective on the nasty smugness of small towns” (The New York Times). Bethlehem, Vermont, is a sleepy little town, distinguished from the neighboring hamlets by its Christmas pageant. The holiday spectacular dates back generations; as the village’s only tourist attraction, it brings in much of the money that keeps Bethlehem afloat. The festivities are held on publicly owned land, which might be a slight violation of the separation of church and state, but no one has ever complained until Tish Verek comes to town. Verek is a true-crime writer from New York, and not long after she kicks up a fuss about the pageant, she’s shot dead in an apparent hunting accident. Anyone in Bethlehem could have fired the fatal bullet, and it’s up to ex–FBI investigator Gregor Demarkian to decide which Christmas-obsessed villager is really a grinch in disguise.

"Having grown up and spent my pastoring career in non-liturgical churches, it was Mike who first encouraged me to observe the seasons of Advent and Lent. In the years since, I have come to rely on these seasons to breathe new life into my soul and those of my family and church. With the coming of Advent and Lent each year, I lean heavily on Mike's devotional thoughts to frame the season as a whole and center my spirit each day. His devotionals capture the heart, shine the light of truth on brokenness, and send the spirit soaring in exultation at the grace of God in Christ Jesus." - - Pastor Adam Mearse, Naperville Church of Christ

This new third edition of Bradt's Israel has been fully updated to reflect all the most recent changes and includes a comprehensive and detailed history section, plus improved maps and structural revisions to aid navigation. Israel is a land where three world religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam - meet in stunning landscapes, where ancient architecture stands next to modern, where the fertile north spills into the arid southern desert and where the secular live alongside the devout. From its ancient history and the sacred Jewish, Christian and Muslim sites of Jerusalem, to modern Tel Aviv with its trendy districts, countless museums and bustling markets, Israel has a lot more to offer than meets the eye. In Bradt's Israel you'll find tips on the top hotels and restaurants, details of local wines, fascinating hiking routes, plus all the information to get the best from Israel's range of attractions. Each town shows the vast diversity of culture and traditions. Jerusalem offers an insight into the history of one of the world's most poignant cities, whilst Tel Aviv is awash with boulevards and epitomises modernity. In turn Haifa is a true seaside gem, with its striking Baha'i Persian gardens, whilst Nazareth is the throbbing heart of Arab hospitality and warmth. From archaeological remains of Crusader castles and Roman cities, scuba diving off Eilat's coast, marvelling at the mountainous Golan Heights to floating in the Dead Sea and discovering cool wadis and thermal baths, Bradt's Israel is the perfect travelling companion, enlightening and enhancing every trip.

A question about your school days, elementary, high school, and college: Good times? Bad times? A mix of both? Small schools? Large schools? Did size matter? Were some years more enjoyable, more memorable than others? Your teachers? How many did you have? Do you remember their names? Did you have a favorite? What made your favorite(s) special? “Teach Me Something, Mister” is a follow-up to “Throw Me Something, Mister” but quite different. “Throw Me...” is fiction. “Teach Me...” is real! The stories were sent to the author from teachers and friends recalling their school life. They are mostly fun; regret and sadness in a few. It’s not all good, no matter how much we would like it to be. The stories are about teachers, students and school secretaries, cooks and custodians, parents and principals. They will remind you of your school days, and hopefully prompt a few thanksgivings. The author welcomes your shared stories and feedback. Maybe you should write your own school stories, for your family to remember and cherish? The young mother asked her five-year-old “What did you learn in school today?” The kid replied, “I guess not enough. Miss Banks said she’d see me again tomorrow.”
