I began this project for personal reasons: my uncle had made an enormous personal sacrifice for his family and his country; yet, because of his silence, no one in my family ever fully knew what he endured. As the last living relative who knew him, I felt a responsibility to rescue his story from the shadows before it disappeared forever and to preserve it as a source of pride for my family and me. But a second reason for telling my uncle’s story materialized as I assembled the details of his journey. I came to realize that while many GIs experienced extensive combat operations or the trials of being held in a POW camp, very few men survived the amount of combat my uncle experienced and six months in a POW camp. Frank’s five-year wartime journey, which included three monumental amphibious invasions, six major battle campaigns, and six months in three different POW camps, was breathtaking in scope. The odds against his surviving all this, or being seriously wounded out of the war, are almost incalculable. Despite the unusual scope of Sergeant Shaw’s tour of duty, his day-to-day adventures are quite typical of what tens of thousands of combat infantrymen experienced during WWII. To that extent, the character who emerges in this story is a composite or representative figure, an American Odysseus, whose mission of extraordinary historical significance, requires him to define himself through trial, suffering, courage, and perseverance before he returns home in triumph. But the similarity ends at the triumphant return. Earlier civilizations celebrated their returning warriors at ceremonial feasts. These men were expected to show their wounds and relate their adventures to their countrymen so bards might record them for posterity. Such rituals insured the warrior a rightful place in history, enshrined his virtues, and shed his reflected glory on his community. No such salutary ritual greeted a battered Frank Shaw when he returned from the war; no one saw his wounds or took his testimony. And his silence consigned his deeds to the shadows of time and dimming memory. But the ancient customs were correct — the hero’s deeds are not his alone. They are his legacy to his family and his country, and they deserve to be honored not shrouded. Therefore, since Sergeant Frank Shaw, like so many of his World War II comrades in arms, would not, and did not, tell his story, I did. Book Review 1: "Col. Brian H. Cundiff, USA (Ret), editor, --Blue Spader Newsletter: “I have just finished reading Fellowship of Dust: Retracing the World War II Journey of Sergeant Frank Shaw The book was written by Bill Shaw, his nephew, with a foreword by General Paul Gorman, USA (Ret). Sergeant Shaw served in Company E of the 26th Infantry for five years and survived the horrors of Europe under austere conditions. This is a story that needs to be told and is a must-read for all Blue Spaders. They were truly the 'Greatest Generation'.“ -- Blue Spader Newsletter Book Review 2: “As the foreword said, this is a story that deserved to be told. Much more than a biography of a courageous soldier in WW II, while focusing on the author's uncle Frank Shaw, this book vividly captures the horrors of war, the emotions surrounding the battles that young men in Frank Shaw's infantry regiment were forced into, their fears, day by day per the dangers they encountered, and the physical and emotional hardships and scars the war, the frontline and POW experiences left as a result. Having written the book after the subject's death, Bill Shaw must have done an incredible amount of research -- reading letters, e-mailing old friends, interviewing family, friends and colleagues, piecing in facts from numerous books, newspapers and magazines, etc. -- to produce such a comprehensive, very readable story. This was obviously a labor of love and gratitude -- the author's dedication to a real hero. The writing is very even and compelling, with interesting, relevant details, helpful dialogue and scenes of real action and danger. I was very moved by this book.” -- Writer's Digest

It says of Jesus, "He shall not strive, not cry out in the streets. A bruised reed shall he not break, & smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgement unto victory." Is.42:1-2, Mt. 12:19-20. No one was despised by the Lamb of God! As hoboes and homeless are often despised! As we were! And as we traveled to every state but Rhode Island & Alaska, we saw God's love move!!! I was born in Redondo Beach, California, and my husband, John was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He had to hitchhike across country to meet me-(as he had been doing for 7 years before he met me-traveling the highways & bi-ways for Jesus, all over USA). It was a marriage made in Heaven!!! We abode together for nearly 28 years, a seasoned blend! I was born again for less than 2 years, and John, with an ileostomy yet, a seasoned missionary of 7 years- first saved & filled with the Holy Spirit, at 12, at a Kathryn Kuhlman Assembly. I graduated with a B.A, (English/Creative Writing), liked to scuba dive. And at 23 1/2, I met my husband John 37, and enjoyed my newfound freedom of traveling low-style, with a gem of a husband, already fearless in the battles of life! He graduated to Glory at 66 years old, when I was 51 years old in 2006. I am now in Goleta, Ca. and wrote this book around 2008 while in my tent, gorilla camping in an old orchard by the tracks, when I got a nudge from the Lord Jesus to write our story! Since my widowhood, God gave me banquets of love with His songs, I write & sing, via guitar, & drawing pictures about Jesus!!!

Award-winning poet. Jean Janzen demonstrates powerfully why she received The Creative Writing Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. Janzen's poems send us to explore the mystery of our connections to this earth, our dust and its dust. These poems show us with certainty what we sense persistently— that we are unequivocally physical and yet undeniably spiritual, so ephemeral and yet so bound. Jean Janzen, a well-known poet from Fresno, California, conducts readings of her poetry around North America and teaches several university classes. "Jean Janzen's poems are lucid, clean, beautifully detailed—but she also knows well how fierce the hungers of body and soul are." —Jeff Gundy, poet

Since 1633, when The Temple was first published, many notable Christians have testified of their love for George Herbert's poetry. The great nineteenth-century preacher C. H. Spurgeon and his wife would sometimes read Herbert's poetry together on Sunday evenings. Richard Baxter wrote, "Herbert speaks to God like one that really believeth a God, and whose business in the world is most with God." C. S. Lewis described Herbert as "a man who seemed to me to excel all the authors I had ever read in conveying the very quality of life as we actually live it from moment to moment . . ." Regrettably, as the years have passed, Herbert's poetry has been increasingly neglected outside the academy. Many who would love Herbert have never even heard of him. Others feel intimidated by his poetry, fearing that they do not have the education necessary to understand what Herbert has written. In this book, Jimmy Scott Orrick has made the poetry of George Herbert accessible even to those who have had no experience reading poetry. In addition to providing thorough notes for each poem, Orrick also gives basic pointers about how to read poetry. Why not follow C. H. Spurgeon's example and "have a page or two of good George Herbert" on your Sunday evenings? Those who follow this prescription will be deeply enriched for having spent A Year with George Herbert.

Collecting Dust: Sonnets (Thus Far) engages both common and particular experiences of faith, celebration, affection, and loss. The lyrics in these poems sing of meditations on divine mystery, efforts for ritual festivity, pledges in close relationships, and glimpses into critical decline. "We lean together, joyful as we weep." This closing line to "YOKEFELLOW" depicts mutual support between two friends; it also describes the experience between author and audience standing side by side at an observer's window to the world, looking on as people move through their varied circumstances. Four Bins organize this collection of encounters: "Clothes Hamper for Time after Time" considers belief; "Storage Tubs for Christ's Mass" recounts holiday; "Table Crumbs for Friends and Lovers" touches on intimacy; and "Plot Numbers for Madison Cemeteries" explores demise. The crafted meter and varied rhyme schemes in these sonnets support the devised imagery, metaphor, allusion, and symbolism to create perspective, irony, paradox, and tone. Readers looking through these poetic windows may well see their own reflections staring back into their souls.

A reviewer of JOHN FRASER'S widely praised Violence in the Arts (1973) spoke of encountering in it "an extremely agile and incessantly active mind that illuminates almost every subject that he touches." As a reader of poetry he is in search of felt life and expressive form. He feels his way forward through poems as speech acts, rather than latching onto whatever Big Poetic Truths they are presumed to be disclosing, or treating them as raw material to be given significance by Theory. And he enters them from a variety of directions. The components of A Bit of This and a Bit of That about Poetry include: —A fast, funny bit of intellectual autobiography. —A tracing of the stylistic changes by which poetry ca 1880-1920 had muscle and realworld grounding restored to it. —A re-entry into his formative childhood experiences of poetry in the 1930s, including winning a BIG school cup at age ten by reciting forty proto-symbolist lines from Tennyson's 'Idylls of the King', whose linguistic strangeness he recreates here. —Jargon-free commentaries on formal and referential aspects of a dozen of his favorite poems, with their glow-worms, and gondolas, and garlic, and so forth. —A spelunking trip through the remarkable inner spaces opened up by the uncoupling of syntax from stanzaic form in George Herbert's "Church Monuments." —Three common-language forays into theoretical matters (symbolism, imagination, genius, etc), with a healthy refusal to be awed by the Byzantine structures that have grown up around them. —An interactive mix of observations and quotations about a variety of topics, including Greek and the Book of Nature, thrillers as paradigms, high Romanticism, lovely pop lyrics ("The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations"), and the Demon Weed. Fraser's celebrations of plenitude and the energy-charged flow of verse make A Bit of This and That a book that can be enjoyed whether one is primarily into free verse or more regular kinds.
