  Mark enjoyed his carefree bachelor’s life in Los Angeles. He had no steady girlfriend, no children, few responsibilities outside of work. But that all changed when “The Call” came. Genevieve, his eighty-nine-year-old mother, was on her deathbed. He rushed back to New Jersey to be by her side. Hours became days, days became weeks, then she woke up. So, he moved back into his childhood home and took over her care. His first task was to remove all hazards, which included the current caregivers. 
   
  After, Mark asked his mother, “Do you trust me?” She whispered, “Yes.” “Do you understand I will do everything in my power to keep you healthy and safe?” She smiled and nodded. “That means I’m in charge, and that means now you must obey me.” Her mood shifted in an instant. She looked him dead in the eye, then puckered up her lips. He wasn’t sure if this was a sign of surrender or one wishing him luck. He kissed her and hoped for the best. 
   
  The parent/child role reversal may not have been unique to Mark, but how he dealt with it was. One day, hoping to make Genevieve’s time on the commode a tad more pleasant, he offered her a cup of her favorite beverage. It was a hit, and a cup of tea on the commode became a staple on the morning menu, and the clear choice for the title of this intimate, funny, and heartwarming memoir of how eldercare can be done. 
   
  A Cup of Tea on the Commode chronicles Mark’s multitasking adventures of filling his mother’s last years with love, laughter, and joy. Though not always successful, he came pretty damn close.

  Everyone’s favorite moral philosopher and amateur sleuth, Isabel Dalhousie, is  
  back and once again finds herself facing a number of tricky situations and  
  philosophical questions, both public and private. 
  Isabel’s life has fallen into a comfortable and tidy rhythm. Well, as tidy as things  
  can be with two small boys wreaking havoc around the house. But when her  
  husband, Jamie, invites a woman named Dawn—recently embroiled in a  
  contentious affair with a member of Jamie’s orchestra—to stay with them, things  
  begin to go awry. Strange noises can be heard from the upper floor, even when  
  Dawn is supposedly at work, and the couple wonders whether something more  
  nefarious may be afoot. 
  If that weren’t enough, Professor Robert Lettuce is staging an academic  
  conference and has asked Isabel to publish the conference papers in a special  
  issue of the Review of Applied Ethics. But something is definitely suspect about  
  the funding, and it will be up to Isabel to sort it out. As the truth comes to light,  
  Isabel must once more rely on her kindness, powers of deduction and  
  philosophical expertise to navigate these sensitive matters.

  New Life in Christ is a multi-volume anthology of the writings and sermons written and presented by Dr. Strem during his many years in pastoral ministry. These volumes present the breadth of Christian theology in a personal and informal manner that serves to address the application of Christian faith in daily life. Written during a time when there is a great need for discipleship in the community of Christian faith, Dr. Strem addresses that need by organizing the material in a manner that may be used both as a reference text on theological subjects and for instruction in Christian living. -- Dr Jack Carter, General Editor, The Journal of Biblical Theology. 
  Dr. Strem has been a mentor and disciple-maker for me and my family for twenty years. Faithfully teaching God’s Word so that both the layman and the scholar are able to understand, Dr. Strem has also remained a friend in the work of the ministry, benefiting the church and the community with love and hard work. I highly recommend these years of teaching in this written word to those who want to grow well in Christ. -- Donna Arthur - Editor and Teacher -- Trinity EFC 
  Dave Strem has been a faithful, loyal preacher of Jesus for decades! In this book you'll see the heart of a man that uses God's word mixed with his own creativity, stories, and a unique passion for life to help you fall more in love with Jesus! -- Zach Zehnder -- Lead Pastor -- theCross.family
