In The Fence My Father Built, when legally separated Muri Pond, a librarian, hauls her kids, teenage Nova and eleven year-old Truman, out to the tiny town of Murkee, Oregon, where her father, Joe Pond lived and died, she’s confronted by a neighbor’s harassment over water rights and Joe’s legacy: a fence made from old oven doors. The fence and accompanying house trailer horrify rebellious Nova, who runs away to the drug-infested streets of Seattle. Muri searches for her daughter and for something to believe in, all the while trying to save her inheritance from the conniving neighbor who calls her dad Chief Joseph. Along with Joe’s sister, Aunt Lutie, and the Red Rock Tabernacle Ladies, Muri must rediscover the faith her alcoholic dad never abandoned in order to reclaim her own spiritual path.

Regrettably, America has become a backslidden nation and the body of Messiah at large is struggling to find her first-love once more. God's children need to find their way back to tearing down strongholds, standing against the rising attacks of Satan, and remember the victories of a former day. But to do so, we must return to the ancient ways of worship, prayer, fasting and true devotion to God. As end-time realities play out on the world stage, many have lost their voices, and their way. As God allows these life-changing events to unfold before our very eyes, are we ready? Only with discernment can we counter the spirit of slumber that is seeping into our homes, churches and personal lives. As every moment has a unique responsibility, and no two moments are alike, do you have an action plan for the days ahead? Following each chapter are provoking questions that can be used in small groups, discussions, or for personal reflection. Where is the House Our Father Built is an end time devotional and call to arms before the final onslaught on the body of Messiah. So join me on this exciting journey as we rifle through God's word together, discovering once again our first love, what it means to have a heart of true devotion, and preparing for the future fulfillment of prophecy. Felix Halpern is a Messianic Rabbi and has served as a Senior Congregational leader for 20 years. Now serving as Senior Director of Metro Jewish Resources, Assemblies of God office for Jewish Ministry, he ministers both nationally and internationally with a message of Jewish and Gentile reconciliation, but comes with a Fathers heart for the body, and a desire for revival. His passion is for the House of God to return to its place of dignity and power again!

The play opens in the arid summer of 1929 with an American farmer, Joe MacDonald and his family living in poverty on a run-down rented farm in the dustbowl. The ramshackle farm buildings are overshadowed by a large tree growing next to the house. The farm is owned by a local businessman, Cornelius Spenk, who has fingers in every pie. Spenk’s son is friendly with one of MacDonald’s sons, Billy. The MacDonalds also have a daughter, Becky, another small son nicknamed Peewee and an ornery grandmother living with them. There is a sandstorm in progress and during the storm we see MacDonald in his daily struggle as he carries in a heavy sack of grain. After he’s gone a black vagrant comes on and hides in the woodshed. The storm abates and the children come out to play a game of baseball. When the ball goes into the woodshed the vagrant is discovered and the alarm raised. Joe rushes out with a gun and with his wife, Mattie, he confronts the hobo who is asked what he was doing in the shed. He apparently refuses to speak until Mattie points out that he’s actually unable to speak because he hasn’t got a tongue. They find out that the hobo’s name is Abe, short for “Absalom, bringer of peace.” The kindly Mattie decides to take the vagrant in, against her husband’s better judgment and he slowly becomes a friend of the family, which is very much against the wishes of the racist farm owner, Cornelius Spenk The latter has a twin brother, Franklyn, who is the local doctor, treating grandmother, and has all the kindly qualities that Cornelius doesn’t have. In the first act we see all the pressures on the luckless Joe, the back-rent owed to Spenk, the problems of farming in the dustbowl, etc and when he is persuaded by his wife that their daughter is in need of a separate room constructing away from the boys, he brings in a load of timber but is caught in his preparations by Spenk who denies him permission to build. The tree next to the farm is a magnet for the mischievous Peewee who has his mind set on moving to a better life in the promised land of California. He is constantly climbing the tree to see if he can see that far. On once occasion he is rescued from falling by the hobo, Abe, but eventually he climbs the tree once too often and at the end of the first act we hear him fall to the earth with a thud. Billy rushes to town to tell his pa who, unknown to him, is being forced to pay off some of the back-rent he owes Spenk by working as a temporary hotel doorman. Act Two finds the injured Peewee being visited by the kindly doctor who wants to help but the family are without insurance cover and at the time there is no national health service so the boy’s healing is left in the hands of Mother Nature. The child is now paralyzed and on one of his unpaid visits the doctor suggests that the parents should try and think of something to encourage Peewee to get better. They scratch their heads for an answer until Joe comes up with an idea that sounds absurd to his wife – he decides to build a tree house. Much against his wife wishes the construction begins with Abe helping and the end result is a very simple platform with a ladder, which is shown to Peewee but is so plain that it doesn’t have the desired result. Joe becomes even more depressed until Abe points to a quote in his pocket bible “My father’s house has many rooms,” which is a message to Joe to extend the tree house. Joe decides to try Abe’s suggestion and between them they set off to build the biggest tree house anyone has ever seen. The improved version is eventually shown to Peewee and Joe is pleased to see that it gets some response from him but unfortunately word goes round the area and sightseers begin to come from far and wide. Gran is disturbed one day by the sightseers whilst trying to eat her meal and has to be physically restrained from shooting one of them. Then Cornelius Spenk picks up his son and says that he will be back later to speak to Joe about the construction. Joe thinks that he’s in for trouble but his situation with the injured Peewee has strengthened his resolve not to take the tree house down, even if and when Spenk tells him to. Much to his surprise Spenk does just the opposite, he likes it and has realized that he can make money from the sightseers so he offers Joe a business partnership with Joe to be the sitting caretaker. To persuade Joe, Spenk offers to try to get him into a secret local organization that he’s in. Joe knows this won’t go down well with Mattie and he stalls for time. While all this has been going on their daughter Becky is preparing for the annual Speaking Competition and is taken to town to do some research by Abe on the tractor. When she is late back and eventually turns up they learn that Becky has had trouble from some of the other girls and that there’s been a fight in which she has been helped by Abe. Cornelius Spenk then arrives and wants to take Abe back to town. Joe thinks it’s about the fight and tries to put it off till the next day until Spenk draws a pistol and takes Abe in by force. It transpires that an allegation has been made by one of the girls against Abe of a serious sexual assault behind the library and the vagrant is kept in custody while the Speaking Competition is being held. Joe calls to see Abe in the jail and on leaving is given a handwritten note by him. He then goes on with the family to the speaking competition and learns from Spenk that in the allegations against Abe he is supposed to have sweet-talked the girl into going behind the library with him and Joe realizes Abe has been set up. He points out to Spenk that Abe doesn’t have a tongue with which to sweet-talk anybody but Spenk dodges the issue and tells Joe to keep his mouth shut, that he’ll sort out the evidence and that the tree house is now a legally registered company on Wall Street. Joe then has a big moral dilemma because he really does need the money from the sightseers in order to get treatment for Peewee. Becky gives her talk and surprises the audience by outlining how badly black folks have been treated in American history. While she is delivering her speech we hear in the background the sound of a lynch mob and see someone dressed in the white robes of the KKK go to Abe’s cell and take him out. Billy rushes to the Competition to tell his pa but by then it is too late. Joe then has the difficult decision of what to do – he decides to face his demons and tells the audience everything that has happened and reads the note that Abe gave him, which describes how he lost his tongue. The last scene sees Joe rushing home to pack the truck for a new life in California and his last defiant act is to take an axe to the tree house. This is the same day that the infamous Wall Street Crash took place.

Before the Khmer Rouge takeover of Cambodia in April 1975, Sao Bounchoeurn and San Bounriem grew up in idyllic, though vastly different, circumstances. After a secondary education, Bounchoeurn entered the army, joined the Special Forces, and worked for the Americans. He became a slave laborer after the fall of Phnom Penh and eventually escaped to Thailand. In another part of Cambodia, Bounriem lived happily spoiled and uneducated. Fleeing from the advancing Khmer Rouge, she arrived at the same refugee camp as Bounchoeurn, where they met, married, and immigrated to America. This riveting memoir chronicles the couple's childhoods, their lives under the Khmer Rouge, their journeys to Thailand and later the United States, and their efforts to forge a new life. This remarkable tale offers an intimate look inside the terrors of the Khmer Rouge and an inspiring portrait of the immigrant experience in America.

'A charming account of a daughter, a house and a fastidious dad' Sunday Times Shelley Klein grew up in the Scottish Borders, in a house designed on a modernist open-plan grid. With colourful glass panels set against a forest of trees, it was like living in a work of art. Her father, Bernat Klein, was a textile designer whose pioneering colours and textures were a major contribution to 1960s and 70s style. Thirty years on, Shelley moves back home to care for her father, now in his eighties: the house has not changed and neither has his uncompromising vision - or his distinctive way of looking at the world. Told with great tenderness and humour, this is Shelley's account of looking after an adored yet maddening parent and a piercing portrait of the grief that followed his death. 'A sad, funny, utterly fascinating book about families, home and how to say goodbye' Mark Haddon 'Original, moving and bracingly honest... often hilarious' Blake Morrison, Guardian 'It is strange that grief should produce such a life-affirming book, but it has. Read it for the solace it contains, or for its captivating descriptions. Either way, it's a delight' Telegraph
