Author, Eiram, provides a detailed account of bizarre occurrences she experienced (over a 15-year time period), as a young woman starting her career in the South. She risks everything to share this story, including her career and close associations with colleagues, friends, and even family. The text is based on actual events but sometimes reads as science fiction as she provides excerpts from her journal writings. She delivers very complex and sensitive information in a way that is gentle, digestible and easy to read with sprinkles of satire and sarcasm. Throughout the book, Eiram, delivers thoughtful and meaningful observations. 

Comprising a number of short essays, Why the Homeless Have No Chance: The Dismantling of Success documents a sociological journey through the homeless services industry and describes todays wrong-headed approach to this lingering social problem. Told from the vantage point of thirty years of personal experience helping homeless people in a number of settings, these adventures largely took place in midtown Manhattan in the early 90s. Over a seventeen-year period, our singularly successful approach was dismantled slow-mo by way of political advocacy and media complicity. We had decried the housing approach, frustrated that it was going nowhere, instead calling for employment programming. However, what is referred to as The Board, the putative head of the homeless industry, would have none of it. We were accused of heinous crimes, all made up. For it all, even after those charges were proven to be fanciful, the damage had been done - we were taken down and our funding went right into the coffers of The Board, while the homeless, unemployed again, were back on the street. Never told were the reasons for what one investigator called our unparalleled success. Why were we able to bring thousands of homeless men and women indoors? Why were we able to help so many into employment? What can be done to stem todays tide of homelessness? Our programs drew the attention of a number of important New Yorkers, pro and con among them, but in the end, they came to a halt. While this is a story that was partially documented in the media, staccato style, still it has remained a story never fully told.

This is a collection of some of things that I wrote. Most come from my actual experience or memories of events - frequently elaborated and sometimes adjusted to fit my preferred self-image. Some, I have to admit, are kinda stolen from things that I overheard from people I know who had not realised the rich potential and value of their stories as I did. To them, I apologise. Of course, this is nothing new. I have been elaborating, adorning and developing imaginative narratives of events to make my life more exciting and appealing to others for a very long time. I am so good at this that frequently I am cannot distinguish between the real and the enhanced memory. The first time this became apparent was in Kindergarten Show & Tell time at Canajoharie Elementary School in upstate New York. The teacher had called my parents in for a talk. She was quite concerned after I told the entire class that my mother sleeps with a bear. Of course, what they did not understand was that this story was much more interesting than telling them that my dad snored like a SOB. Perhaps it was the first time that I recall elaborating upon something fairly mundane in my mind. The truth is that I am rather common. Strong, perhaps, but common and unrefined. Hence, the adornment. Indeed, that was why I chose this title. I had initially planned to call this book, Some Short Stuff, which would have been ridiculously accurate but boring. However, an old title came to mind that I had tried to attach to other writings in the past. Fruit on Veneer is somewhat ambiguous they said. "What is veneer anyway," they asked. But, to me it encapsulates how I actually perceive myself: Something fresh, enriching and colourful on a pleasing and refined platter supported by a rather common albeit sturdy foundation. Yup, that sums me up, pretty much. I am not sure if it is a good thing, but there it is. I hope that you enjoy reading these stories, poems, plays, filmscripts and essays as much as I enjoyed writing them.

First published in 1981, this revised, expanded edition of Budgetary Thought for School Officials, first published in 1982, provides a commentary concerning the intellectual foundations of budgetary craftsmanship, applied to education. Given the contemporary stress on educational institutions, educators need models of appropriate thinking centered on the key task of rationing scarce resources. This book identifies habits of mind and supporting practices that help educators allocate scarce resources to the most effective educational techniques advancing student achievement and attainment.This slender volume is addressed to elected and appointed educators who have finance and budget responsibilities, especially those who lead the public schools. It goes beyond expenditures, as one might expect in a book about budgeting. It is, rather, a book about mental qualities and methodical work, done to exacting standards. Its recommended approach provides educators, institution by institution, with decision-making machinery and implementation instruments that can help them. Budgetary Thought for School Officials is refreshing, illuminating and useful. No educator should be without it! Josephine Genovese, Former Chairperson, School Board, City of Rochester, NY

5 Years After is a fresh look at the apocalypse genre. A deeper, more intriguing story line with characters who reach out of the pages and grab you. They are defined not by their strengths. Instead, it is their weaknesses and emotions that set them apart. In short, they are just like us and the people we know. Richard Corrells rich, descriptive landscape and research has created a series that KSPK Radio says You will believe.

Dr. Christopher Toote has produced a compilation of Bible study lessons that is a resource of accurate, clear, contextual, practical, and applicable outlines. There is fluidity, flow, and coherence from the introduction to the conclusion. Transitional ideas and thoughts move seamlessly. The topics are thought-provoking, thematic and contemporary without losing the Biblical originality and intent.It is evident that Dr. Toote methodically and meticulously studies the context from the historical, geographical, socio-cultural, political, and theocratic perspectives. He approaches each topic by exploring the original language, identifying and studying key words carefully, understanding and referring to surrounding passages and chapters to get a good, comprehensive, accurate grip of context and meaning. Dr. Toote strongly supports a genuine, unbiased, exegetical approach to Bible study. This approach encourages hard work, diligence, scholasticism, exegesis, and understanding. It gives the diligent student the ability to detect erroneous teachings and materials, even in commentaries, publications, and reputable theological literature.“50 Powerful Bible Study Outlines”, Vol. 1 is primarily expositional and exegetical in form. However, several lessons are more thematic and systematic in structure and composition. The topics cover a wide spectrum: Evangelism, Faith, Family, Followship, Ministry, Pentecost, Power, Prayer, Relationship, Reformation, Salvation, Success, Warfare, Word, and Worship.As you study these Bible lessons, you will not only learn about God and the things of God - you will encounter God. You will experience God. There will be a transformational process that will happen in the life of the Bible student. Digging into the well of God’s Word, you will draw bucket loads of precious treasures that have eternal value. The investment in these treasures will yield priceless dividends.Rev. Dr. Elliott H. Johnson, Sr.Heyward & Johnson, LLC, President/CEOEvangelical Training Association, VP of Strategic DevelopmentHoward University School of Divinity, Board of Directors

Despite a series of poor choices in men and life, by 24, Vicki had built a career as a noted crime reporter, wife, and mother. But success led to disaster. Vicki’s perfect world crumbled with bitter family upheaval, leading to multiple suicide attempts. Now 38, Vicki lays her soul bare and shares the pivotal moments of her roller-coaster life: depression, grief, heartache, trauma, drugging, and suicide, truthfully, and candidly. Her story is heartbreaking, inspiring, and unexpectedly witty. Most of all, "Still Standing" is a remarkable story of resilience and survival --an honest portrayal of one woman’s life and her determination for a new beginning.

A graduate student in psychology never suspects falling in love would lead to an even steeper fall into despair.  With a taste of depression previously known to him only in textbooks, Philip, heart-broken over a failed romance with a fellow graduate student, struggles to emerge from a deep abyss, and filled with disenchantment, considers walking away entirely from becoming a therapist.  And so begins a long and capricious journey of self-discovery, redemption, and numerous false starts before finding his calling once again.  The dose of personal humility doesn’t end there and is renewed daily for Dr. Grimes in his clinical practice as he is allowed access to the innermost and unimaginably painful world of his patients as they confront demons past and present.
