What's in It for Me? was written to remove those obstacles.These thirty-four stories are only a sampling of the lives you will meet when you read the Old Testament. Some names in this selection-Abraham and Moses, for instance--are readily recognized. Others, such as the outcast Jephthah and Abigail, the defiant wife, are not as famous. One person, forever unnamed, is the courageous proactive woman who singlehandedly rescued her city.You will form a connection with these personalities and the others as you answer five thought-provoking questions after each story. What's in It for Me? brings a new respect for the Old Testament.

An amazing story of perseverance! No one keeps secrets better than the child of an alcoholic. Judith Hall Simon knows that firsthand. However, she was compelled to sacrifice her carefully guarded silence so that she could expose elder abuse (Before the Door Closes: A Daughter's Journey with Her Alcoholic Father). The author's second book, Secrets Revisited, is a rare reflective revelation of what happens within an alcoholic family and the lifelong effects. Shared through thirty-six vignettes, this inspirational survival story touches those who understand what it means to feel undeserved guilt, less than, used, poor, helpless, all alone.
