Fidel Castro. Che Guevara. Cesar Chavez. Karl Marx. Mao Tse-tung…and others. All Icons of the Progressive Left, and similarly the infallible Icons of the early years of Professor Frank M. Luna as he grew up on a small farm in Central California. After his matriculation at Fresno State, Professor Luna soon discovers that the Iconic foundation has cracks, and he decides to cleave them open for all to see. In this flowing and riveting account, Professor Luna chronicles his decades-long transformation to discard his political upbringing amidst the discovery of the horrors of these Marxist leaders and their states, while also exposing the US academic community’s complicity in their crimes against humanity. At times humorous and always engrossing, along his journey Professor Luna encounters biased instructors, heroic and quirky students, and institutions of higher learning that are not quite what they promote themselves to be. Shattering the Icons is an engaging narrative of a political and teaching transformation. A must read for the general public and educators alike, Shattering the Icons is a clarion call for the academic community in the US to transform itself.

Seventeen-year-old Keri likes to plan for every possibility. She knows what to do if you break an arm, or get caught in an earthquake or fire. But she wasn't prepared for her brother's suicide, and his death has left her shattered with grief. When her childhood friend Janna tells her it was murder, not suicide, Keri wants to believe her. After all, Janna's brother died under similar circumstances years ago, and Janna insists a visiting tourist, Sione, who also lost a brother to apparent suicide that year, has helped her find some answers. As the three dig deeper, disturbing facts begin to pile up: one boy killed every year; all older brothers; all had spent New Year's Eve in the idyllic town of Summerton. But when their search for the serial killer takes an unexpected turn, suspicion is cast on those they trust the most. As secrets shatter around them, can they save the next victim? Or will they become victims themselves?

Islam, Bruce Lawrence argues, is a complex, international religious system that cannot be reduced to stereotypes. As Lawrence demonstrates, Islam is a religion shaped as much by its own postulates and ethical demands as by the specific circumstances of Muslim people in the modern world. It is time, Lawrence believes, to replace inaccurate images of Islam with a recognition of the multifaceted character of this global religion and of its widely diverse adherents. Shattering the Myth provides significant insights into the history of Islam and a greater understanding of the varied experiences of Muslims today.

"It's a powerful memoir of a mother's undying love, faith, family, challenges, and the profound human spirit." --Joan Marineau, Licensed Mental Health Counselor One phone call shatters Marcie's life--her son Hunter had suffered a psychotic episode that landed him in a mental hospital thousands of miles away. But even after he's home and seemingly on the road to recovery, the voices in his head direct him to kill his parents and throw himself in front of a moving vehicle. It seems more than Marcie can bear, but by the grace of God, she and her family usher Hunter, and each other, through his psychotic breaks and the dire aftermath. But every day is a balancing act, one in which they never know which side they'll land. Written from her mother's heart, Marcie doesn't sugarcoat the effects of drug abuse and mental illness, tackling head on the shame and seclusion that accompanies the life-changing diagnoses. Infused with grace and mercy, Shattering offers hope to those who face challenges that seem insurmountable.
