Lord Remember Me
Samson is known for his long hair, tremendous strength, being a Nazirite, Delilah and a really bad haircut! No one mentions the Prayer of Samson except to say that it is a pitiful end to a sad and tragic life. Instead the Prayer of Samson describes God's grace, forgiveness and power because Samson acknowledged he had failed God, what God had done for him and what God could do in his life when he was devoted to Him. Samson prayed for the impossible and God answered his prayer! We need the Prayer of Samson today. In order for us to understand the Prayer of Samson an examination of Judges 13-16 is needed. Some of the issues addressed in these chapters that apply to our lives include the importance of a strong and vibrant prayer life, the sanctity of life with the unborn, being set apart by God and therefore ordination, the Spirit of the Lord at work in our lives, honesty in relationships, unconditional lust instead of love, perception versus reality, cooperation in God's work, God punishing evil, taking our relationship with the Lord for granted and seeking what God desires in our lives as we serve Him. Samson is extremely relevant for us today! David received a BA in Religion from Baylor University and a MDIV from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He was in the pastorate for twenty- five years in southwest Texas. He is married to Susanna and they have two grown children and one grandchild. His hobbies include reloading and having a spring and fall garden. He enjoys trying to sing with The Singing Men of South Texas! He is currently working at a gun store.

Beethoven
'[An] extraordinary and exciting book' - John SimpsonBeethoven's string quartets have long been held up as the pinnacle of chamber music: their fertility, complexity, depth and range mark them out as amongst the greatest of all musical creations. Yet they are also elusive, slippery works of art.In his new book, David Vernon - author of Disturbing the Universe: Wagner's Musikdrama and Beauty and Sadness: Mahler's 11 Symphonies - explores these exquisite and challenging pieces, probing their integrity and individuality while also placing the quartets within the context of Beethoven's life and other music, especially his symphonies and piano sonatas.A chapter is devoted to each work, with an in-depth essay followed by detailed movement-by-movement guides, revealing where they came from, how they are put together - and why they remain so relevant and celebrated today.WITH AN AFTERWORD BY JOHN SIMPSON

Beauty and Sadness
'A beautiful and important book' - Marina MahlerGustav Mahler wrote some of the most challenging and cherished music of all time: eleven extraordinary symphonies that continue to fascinate, intrigue and infuriate music lovers around the world.In his dazzling new book, David Vernon celebrates these vast but often very private works of art. In stimulating prose, he investigates their theatricality and grandeur, as well as their poetry and intimacy, examining the personal, philosophical and musical influences which shaped their creation.Each symphony, including Das Lied von der Erde and the unfinished Tenth, is given its own chapter, which also includes a detailed guide to the music, movement by movement.Above all, this is a book that recognizes the importance of Mahler in musical and cultural history and takes us far into both his creative processes and the works themselves.WITH A FOREWORD BY MARINA MAHLER
