“In 1861, Chaplain Quintard of the 1st Tennessee Regiment marched off to care for his soldiers as they joined the Army of Virginia. His ‘Soldier’s Pocket Manual of Devotions’ was a very popular and widely distributed devotional manual used by many Confederate soldiers. In his booklet ‘Balm for the Weary and Wounded’ (1864), Quintard reached back often to the writers of the ‘Oxford Movement’, which was his theological underpinning. In addition to familiar prayers, collects, and hymns from the ‘Book of Common Prayer,’, he adds poems, sermons, and religious texts of this movement. … Students of the Civil War, reenactors, collectors, historians, and theologians will find these volumes of immeasurable value.”

“As an emergency room physician, Dr. Travis Stork regularly sees the effects that poor lifestyle choices—the same decisions we face every day about what to eat and how active to be—have on our bodies over time. But just a few small tweaks to your daily habits can help you live longer and feel stronger. You can also conquer many chronic conditions—such as some of the biggest killers in America: heart disease, type II diabetes, and some cancers—before they happen. … Dr. Stork demystifies nutrition, exposes food fads, explains why you should be ruthlessly skeptical of health advice, and tells you which numbers you should track to keep yourself on the road to optimal wellness.”

We see the vortex of success taking its toll on her life, and then her finding a new voice in her music, with music flowing naturally from her that never came so easily.”

Justice Delayed

May 5, 2010 In 2006, Eric Volz, a Californian with Nashville ties, was living and working in Managua, Nicaragua, when he received a phone call. A former girlfriend had been brutally raped and murdered. In the days that followed, Volz went from grieving ex-suitor to prime suspect. His trial and yearlong incarceration is a horror story of trumped-up charges, judicial corruption, and political intrigue; his release is a tale of hope. Eric Volz discusses and signs Gringo Nightmare at 7 p.m. on May 5 at Davis-Kidd Booksellers in Nashville.

This Doll Can Talk

May 4, 2010 A journalist who’s been writing about the South and its characters for more than three decades, Rheta Grimsley Johnson turns the probe on her herself in her second memoir, Enchanted Evening Barbie and the Second Coming. With both humor and poignancy, she writes about growing up among Southern Baptists, her college years at Auburn University, and a never-dull journalistic career that took her from a failed weekly startup with her then-husband Jimmy Johnson (who went on to create the Arlo & Janis comic strip) to big metro dailies such as the Memphis Commercial Appeal and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. She will sign copies of her book at Davis-Kidd Booksellers in Memphis on May 4 at 6 p.m.
