No one in Vietnam had to tell door gunner and gunship crew chief Al Sever that the odds didn’t look good. He volunteered for the job well aware that hanging out of slow-moving choppers over hot LZs blazing with enemy fire was not conducive to a long life. But that wasn’t going to stop Specialist Sever. From Da Nang to Cu Chi and the Mekong Delta, Sever spent thirty-one months in Vietnam, fighting in eleven of the war’s sixteen campaigns. Every morning when his gunship lifted off, often to the clacking and muzzle flashes of AK-47s hidden in the dawn fog, Sever knew he might not return. This raw, gritty, gut-wrenching firsthand account of American boys fighting and dying in Vietnam captures all the hell, horror, and heroism of that tragic war.

Leading in organizations working for justice is not the same as leading anywhere else. Staff expect to be treated as partners and demand internal practices that center equity. Justice leaders must meet these expectations, as well as recognize and address the ways that individuals and organizations inadvertently replicate oppression. Created specifically for social justice leaders, Leading for Justice addresses specific concerns and issues that beset organizations working for social justice and offers practices and models that center justice and equity. Topics include: the role of a supervisor in a social justice organization, the importance of self-awareness, issues of power and privilege, human resources as a justice partner, misses and messes, and clear guidelines for holding people accountable in a manner that is respectful and effective. Written in a friendly, accessible, and supportive tone, and offering discussion questions at the end of each short section to make the book user-friendly for both individuals and teams, Leading for Justice is a book for leaders who want to walk the talk of supporting social justice, in their organizations and in the world.

The Three Rs Strategy - Your Guide to a Courageous, Radical Life Makeover Why do so few people today actually walk in the love, authority and power of Jesus? True joy and magnetic power comes from a far deeper understanding of the Word of God. That understanding is found in the pages of this book. If you have salvation through Jesus Christ, yet your life is not filled with the joy you expected ...this book holds your answers. The Three Rs is filled with scripture framed in such a way that you may feel as if you are "seeing it" for the first time. The Three Rs is the author's story, but it is filled with many other personal stories as well. Stories not typically discussed in church settings. Stories usually swept under the rug. Thus keeping the Body of Christ bound with unseen chains and locked in silent prisons. This book illuminates the Word of God in a powerful way. By challenging religious paradigms, The Three Rs will help you to have the freedom, joy, and abundance the Bible promises.
