"The souls that have seen the darkest days can shine the brightest light" God wasn't finished with him. Matt Griffin scheduled his suicide for midnight. He was tired and exhausted. But this wouldn't be a rushed event. He'd planned his earthly exit so none of his four sons would find him, and that his death would ensure they had a better life without him. A father, a former Navy Search and Rescue Swimmer, law enforcement officer, an undercover cop who spent years pretending to be someone he was not, Matt decided he had nothing left to offer his ex-wife, his family, his friends, or his community. But God had bigger plans - and a chance phone call only hours before he decided he'd crawl into his SUV and put his gun to his head, stopped him in his tracks, and changed his life and the lives of thousands of others. The Journey to Midnight is Matt Griffin's memoir about his childhood journey from the inner city and poverty, to a lacrosse scholarship at Morristown-Beard, one of the richest, most prestigious high schools in the country, to the US Navy, then a career as a law enforcement officer and undercover cop. Matt shares the heartbreak of divorce, the joy of single fatherhood, the dark streets of the drug world, and the thing that almost killed him, and killed 228 police officers in 2019, and continues to kill 22 military veterans per day - SUICIDE.

On a dark street, what began as a private moment between a citizen and the police became a national outrage. Rodney Glen King grew up in the Altadena Pasadena section of Los Angeles with four siblings, a loving mother, and an alcoholic father. Soon young Rodney followed in Dad's stumbling steps, beginning a lifetime of alcohol abuse. King had been drinking the night of March 3, 1991, when he engaged in a high-speed chase with the LAPD, who finally pulled him over. What happened next shocked the nation. A group of officers brutally beat King with their metal batons, Tasered and kicked him into submission—all caught on videotape by a nearby resident. The infamous Rodney King Incident was born when this first instance of citizen surveillance revealed a shocking moment of police brutality, a horrific scene that stunned and riveted the nation via the evening news. Racial tensions long smoldering in L.A. ignited into a firestorm thirteen months later when four white officers were acquitted by a mostly white jury. Los Angeles was engulfed in flames as people rioted in the streets. More than fifty people were dead, hundreds were hospitalized, and countless homes and businesses were destroyed. King's plaintive question, "Can we all just get along?" became a sincere but haunting plea for reconciliation that reflected the heartbreak and despair caused by America's racial discord in the early 1990s. While Rodney King is now an icon, he is by no means an angel. King has had run-ins with the law and continues a lifelong struggle with alcohol addiction. But King refuses to be bitter about the crippling emotional and physical damage that was inflicted upon him that night in 1991. While this nation has made strides during those twenty years to heal, so has Rodney King, and his inspiring story can teach us all lessons about forgiveness, redemption, and renewal, both as individuals and as a nation.

"The Light Shines in Darkness" by Leo Graf Tolstoy is an unfinished play by the famed Russian writer. Though the work is fiction, Tolstoy lets more of himself seep into the writing making this one of his most personal works. The writer's own turmoils are present in the book in a way that seems to lack in his other masterpieces, which makes this one of, if not his most important work of all.
