In this ecumenically appealing book of faith planting and nurturing, by Dr. Joe Borowitz, I see a dance between Joe as a Sunday schoolteacher, other Sunday schoolteachers, and Sunday school students, their parents and the Church. Beginning on the personal level, Joe reaches out to the inter-personal. He privileges the personal level that emerges as author, professor, and moralist and shares suitable stories and life events. How powerful personal experiences can be! Dr. Joe underscores the primacy of God in human life, arguing that people function better when they have God at the center of their lives. He reminds us that the Resurrection is the most important event in human life. The Holy Spirit, he calls a superior "life force" that enlivens and sustains us. That all should welcome this book is thus obvious. To veteran teachers it will give a nostalgic feeling and satisfaction; to students in Sunday school and their parents, it will give a sense of dedication and direction as they embrace this journey of faith; and to the general reader both catholic and non-catholic it will bring to mind the place of CCD or Sunday school in faith planting. Rev. Dr. Cajetan Ebuziem Priest Chaplain St. Elizabeth Regional Health Lafayette, Indiana, USA.

The murder of Ron "Little Red" Beasley is one of the most bizarre homicide cases in Midlands history. This mystery, with a background of macabre events and colorful characters, remained unsolved since 1967. Beasley's murder was originally ruled a suicide, but his family and his friend Herman Young refused to believe that. When Beasley's wife was convicted of murdering her second husband, they grew even more suspicious. Young went on to become sheriff of Fairfield County and made it his mission to find the truth. Join author Lou Sahadi as he details the gruesome details of a murder, two dramatic court trials and the untiring work of a lawman to find justice for his friend.

“What is comfort but a filament between past and present with some sort of future implied? In other words, safety. In other words, care. I know it is possible to find these things without her—I know they are there. But it can be so hard to ask. So much is unknown.” Rebecca Spiegel is working as a teacher in New Orleans when she learns of her sister’s suicide. Only after the funeral does shock give way to grief—and to many questions. How could Emily do this to herself? How could she have abandoned all those who loved her? And what could have been done differently to prevent this devastating loss? In the days and weeks that follow, Spiegel embarks on a search for answers. She unpacks family history, documents the last traces of her sister’s life, and questions what more she could have done to prevent her death. Unsparingly honest and resistant to simple solutions, “This clear-eyed reckoning offers a path toward understanding what always exists on the other side of grief: the joyful fact of a deep and abiding love” (Camille T. Dungy).

Veteran journalist Ron Steinman gathers candid reminiscences from seventy-six men (including Senator John McCain) who lived through the brutalities of combat in the Vietnam War. A Soldiers' Story provides a vivid and gripping oral history of the fear, fellowship, trauma and triumph of these Marine, Army, Air Force, and Navy veterans. Complete with maps and battlefield photographs, these indespensable first-hand accounts provide a unique front-line record of Vietnam - from its surreal horrors, to the comradeship and courage forged in battle. From the jungles of Southeast Asia to life back in the United States as veterans of an unpopular war, A Soldiers' Story also includes complete and updated biographies of the brave men who are profiled. This is a book that goes beyond the military and political implications of Vietnam, to the truth of what the war cost - and who actually paid the price.
