So I had this new cell phone that would do almost anything—take pictures, text, play games. It even had GPS. Help! I just wanted to use the thing to call around and look for some job opportunities, but I had no idea who to call. I was desperate and had tried everyone I knew already. As a sort of joke, I dialed G-O-D. Well, you know what they always say: Ask and you shall receive. It rang. What would you do if you suddenly discovered your phone gave you direct, physical links to heaven and hell? Stephen is in for the ride (and test!) of his life when he dials G-O-D on his new cell and promptly ends up smack dab in the middle of Hades. As his nether-worldly tour guide shows him around, he sees just what punishments are reserved for the worst of those among us. Find out what Stephen does when he learns he has to suffer through the One Hundred Agonies—without a sinful reaction—to be able to get back home and stay there!

Risto Mahuno’s agony is what happens to his sweetheart Néné, to his cousin, and to himself. In the east of the Congo, where the border with Rwanda is also the border between life and death, the boys are abducted and forced to become soldiers, the girls raped. Far too much happens for 15-year-old children. Néné is claimed by the warlord, Risto’s cousin killed, and Risto, his eyes already dead, is beaten to the brink. His fate flings him south, on a fraught journey by foot or whatever ride he can get, to Mozambique, where he arrives with even less of himself left. And yet the gods are laughing, for Risto’s journey back holds promise of love, peace and family.

Patrick Yay was born in Burma during a time when the people of Myanmar felt helpless and frightened while living under the rule of a brutal military junta regime. While growing up, Yay had a few seemingly simple wishes: to be valued and respected, to have rights and freedom of choice, and to be treated as a human being. Unfortunately there appeared to be only one way he could achieve his greatest desires and that was to escape his native land. In a compelling retelling of his younger life experiences, Yay leads others through his childhood and several years beyond as he matured and began attending medical school. While detailing the many difficulties he endured under an unethical administration of senior doctors, Yay provides a penetrating look into his growing frustrations instigated by the corrupt Ne Win military regime. But it was not until his younger brother’s arrest and imprisonment during the U Thant funeral in Rangoon that Yay felt he had no choice but to begin planning an escape that would not come without sacrifices. Agony to Agony shares the fascinating story of a Burmese man as he attempted to pursue his dreams and escape a country held captive by ruthless dictators.

The national environmental movement has become less willing to compromise since its victories in the Pacific Northwest, and the Allegheny is its newest proving ground. This book explains what activists are after, how the struggle differs from more familiar environmental battles and what it means for the future of the American landscape.
