  Six hilarious satires from the ingenious Molière, France’s original master of comedies:
  
  The Bungler  
  In 17th-century Sicily, a clever valet named Mascarille tries to help his boss Lélie win the girl of his dreams...only to find that Lélie is a monumental dunce who ruins every one of his intricate schemes. Performed by Richard Easton, et al.
  
  The Imaginary Cuckold 
   
  Brian Bedford stars as the enraged husband who imagines his wife is unfaithful, but becomes reluctant to defend his honor in this grand farce of hysterical coincidences, frenzied confusion and mistaken identities – the most widely performed Molière play in his lifetime. Performed by: Brian Bedford, Joanne Whalley, et al.
  
  The School for Husbands
   
  Sganarelle, a tyrannical old buffoon of a husband-to-be, seeks to isolate his young ward, while unwittingly carrying her messages of devotion to her lover. Performed by: Brian Bedford, Emily Bergl, et al. 
  
  The School for Wives 
   
  In this biting comedy of errors, the hapless Arnolphe is undone by his own double dealing and double standards. This play is considered by many to be Molière’s masterpiece, and Wilbur’s subtle verse translation illuminates the great master of comedy at his wittiest. Performed by: William Brown, et al.
  
  Tartuffe
   
  Initially banned in by King Louis XIV, Molière’s most famous satire exposes hypocrisy in the Catholic Church. A pious fraud manipulates the patriarch of a wealthy family into giving up his fortune, and it’s up to his family to expose the truth before they end up in the poor house. Performed by: Brian Bedford, Martin Jarvis, et al.
  
  The Misanthrope
  Razor-sharp wit inflames a competitive game of survival in the salons of 17th century France. In this world of "finest appearances", one man’s blunt honesty shatters his society’s delicate web of manners in what is often considered to be Molière’s Hamlet. Performed by: Harry Althaus, et al.
  
  Six hilarious satires from the ingenious Molière, France’s original master of comedies: The Imaginary Cuckold, The School for Husbands, The School for Wives, Tartuffe, and The Misanthrope.

  Detroit 67 - The Year That...

  First in the award-winning soul music trilogy—featuring Motown artists Diana Ross & the Supremes, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, and others.  Detroit 67 is “a dramatic account of twelve remarkable months in the Motor City” during the year that changed everything (Sunday Mail). It takes you on a turbulent journey through the drama and chaos that ripped through the city in 1967 and tore it apart in personal, political, and interracial disputes. It is the story of Motown, the breakup of the Supremes, and the damaging clashes at the heart of the most successful African American music label ever.   Set against a backdrop of urban riots, escalating war in Vietnam, and police corruption, the book weaves its way through a year when soul music came of age and the underground counterculture flourished. LSD arrived in the city with hallucinogenic power, and local guitar band MC5—self-styled holy barbarians of rock—went to war with mainstream America. A summer of street-level rebellion turned Detroit into one of the most notorious cities on earth, known for its unique creativity, its unpredictability, and self-lacerating crime rates.   The year 1967 ended in social meltdown, rancor, and intense legal warfare as the complex threads that held Detroit together finally unraveled. “A whole-hearted evocation of people and places,” Detroit 67 is “a tale set at a fulcrum of American social and cultural history” (Independent).

  Meditate with Me - The Quest to...

  Meditate With Me is a parable quest book series and Christian outreach campaign to reach the lost sheep from various remote regions, villages, and far-off lands who are possibly studying false religions, witchcraft, sorcery, and other New Age disinformation around the world.  
   
  First Peter 5:8 reads, “Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” Pastor Andrew Rappaport of Striving for Eternity Ministries said it best: “Evil is the absence of good, and good is defined by the nature of God."  
   
  This book series will teach children the attributes of God, basic apologetics, and ultimately how to put our full faith in Jesus, how to pray and meditate day and night, how to put on the full armor of God, and other Bible-based life skill lessons to support their lifelong faith-building efforts to face the enemy with Christ alone to glorify God through our lives.   
   
  In Matthew 28:19, Jesus commands us to reach all people in all nations with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He is the way, the truth and the life, the only way to the Father, the only way to heaven, and in many countries Christians are being persecuted and blocked from sharing the Gospel.   
   
  The Quest to Christ is the first edition of the series and joins two siblings raised Buddhist, Yui and Mei, escaping from Chinese-invaded Tibet. They face death-defying winter storms in the mountains of India in a tribulation-filled journey to find God, meet a wonderful missionary, conquer their fears, and learn about salvation through Jesus Christ. They learn we are saved by his grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, not because of our works. The series also teaches how to ask God for forgiveness, how to repent or turn away from sin, and how to pray in Jesus' name as well as how to accurately practice Bible-based Christian meditation day and night.
