  In the lively city of Tijuana, a band of twelve music-loving mice, known as "The Mariachi Mice," find their rhythm in the storeroom of the bustling Marino Café. Feasting on tapas and wine, the six male and six female mice, each with a unique personality and a designated mariachi instrument, dream of sharing their music with the world. They embark on a tour across Mexico, captivating audiences of fellow mice while skillfully evading the clutches of menacing cats. Their talent doesn't go unnoticed, and a human record producer catapults them to stardom. Overnight, they are living a life of luxury, complete with fancy sports cars and designer mouseholes. However, their newfound fame causes them to forget their humble beginnings and their families. A chance encounter with a poor mouse family serves as a poignant reminder of their roots, prompting them to return to their hometown. They use their wealth to enrich their community, building schools and hospitals. The Mariachi Mice continue to make music, their songs now imbued with a deeper sense of purpose, gratitude, and the enduring importance of family and community.

  The Bondage of the Will

  First published in 1525, Martin Luther's "Bondage of the Will" is acknowledged by theologians as one of the great masterpieces of the Reformation. It is Luther's response to Desiderius Erasmus's "Diatribe on Free Will, " written in his direct and unique style, combining deep spirituality with humor. Luther writes powerfully about man's depravity and God's sovereignty. The crucial issue for Luther concerned what ability free will has, and to what degree it is subject to God's sovereignty. For Luther, this key issue of free will is directly connected to God's plan of salvation. Is man able to save himself, or is his salvation entirely a work of divine grace? This work is vital to understanding the primary doctrines of the Reformation and will long remain among the great theological classics of Christian history.

  The Perfect Woman

  The Perfect Woman by Robert Sheckley - Somebody once came up with a song title we have never forgotten: "For every man there is a woman, so why did I gel stuck with you?” Not that Mr. Morcheck felt that way about Myra. He not only believed she was absolutely perfect; you could get a punch in the nose for doubting it! And he was so right —for a while! 
  Mr. Morcheck awoke with a sour taste in his mouth and a laugh ringing in his ears. It was George Owen-Clark’s laugh, the last thing he remembered from the Triad-Morgan party. And what a party it had been! All Earth had been celebrating the turn of the century. The year Three Thousand! Peace and prosperity to all, and happy life... 
  “How happy is your life?” Owen-Clark had asked, grinning slyly, more than a little drunk. “I mean, how is life with your sweet wife?” That had been unpleasant. Everyone knew that Owen-Clark was a Primitivist, but what right had he to rub people’s noses in it? Just because he had married a Primitive Woman. . . . 
  “I love my wife,” Morcheck had said stoutly. “And she’s a hell of a lot nicer and more responsive than that bundle of neuroses you call your wife.” But of course, you can’t get under the thick hide of a Primitivist. Primitivists love the faults in their women as much as their virtues — more, perhaps.
