About this ebook

Accustomed to living the high life in Dallas, everything Jewellen Capwell knows about the hood comes from the movies. So when she agrees to accompany her best friend, Renee Nightingale, to a Southside ball game, her only concern is keeping her cool around the peeps. She's not there to ogle guys--until she spots Roman Montgomery. When it comes to men, Jewel's heard it all before, but Rome's working from a whole new script. . .

Renee loves to fall in love. Right now, she's set her sights on landing a rock from her current main squeeze, Gregory. But to ensure no one plays her, she's always got a game going on. So when temptation comes calling in the form of a fine young man with a chiseled physique, Renee can't resist--and why should she? What Gregory doesn't know can't hurt them--or so she thinks. . .

A scorching debut. . .a pitch-perfect voice, delivering funny yet believable stories embellished with a gusto that readers who enjoy Carl Weber and Mary Monroe will relish." --Publishers Weekly

"Cleverly and creatively written. . .. Highly spiced with boundless drama and hilarious moments, the reader surely will be entertained." --The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers

"An exciting, sizzling page turner!" --Candice Dow

    This commentary takes the rather unusual but well argued perspective that Deuteronomy is a performative text and is structured for essentially cultic purposes. There is evidence that it was read in 11 weekly sections, and each of these sections has its own structural coherence. Christensen bases his arguments in part on the Masora - the markings added to the Hebrew text which indicate accenting, which demonstrate a rhythmic character to the speech an possibly indicate that the text was intended to be sung.This approach does yield some interesting insights. From my perspective it casts the Holy War texts in a whole new light, seeing the text as much more a celebration of national identity than an actual program for exterminating Canaanites.Christensen, however, does not allow his perspective to obscure the more 'conventional' aspects of a commentary, and there is ample discussion of the standard range of textual questions and discussions about interpretation, as well as very substantial bibliographical information.
