'An extraordinary account of heroism and sacrifice. An unexpected and important story, rivetingly told. Rip roaring stuff. Get this into the paws of the sea dog in your life.' - Griff Rhys Jones 'A book that had to be written' - Let's Talk 'People ashore don't realise what a grim war we are waging at sea with the Germans. A cold-blooded war, in a way I think requiring the maximum of bravery from the men of both sides in the long run, as it is so ceaseless and intangible. You just don't know whether the next moment will be your last.' Robert Hichens, RNVSR Several years ago, Julia Jones was searching through long-forgotten items stored at her house and discovered some suitcases of old written material, which turned out to be accounts by her father of his experiences in the RNVSR (Royal Naval Volunteer Supplementary Reserve). She realised that as a child she'd met some of the people mentioned, and although she was too young to truly know them, these youthful impressions spurred her on to rediscovery and understanding. In this absorbing book Julia tells the compelling stories of the yachtsmen. Some were famous (such as Sir Peter Scott), others were wealthy (such as August Courtauld, who returned his pay to help with the war effort) but the majority were just 'ordinary' professionals such as publishers, lawyers and advertising agents, who signed up because they loved sailing. Few could ever have dreamed that they would end up acting in areas that were so far beyond their normal lives, as they found themselves commanding destroyers and submarines, and undertaking covert missions of sabotage. Some undertook the dangerous daily drudgery of minesweeping; others tackled unexploded bombs, engaged the enemy in high-speed attacks or played key roles in Ian Fleming's famous intelligence commandos. This varied crew of men were given tasks vital to the war effort, requiring endurance, extraordinary bravery, resourcefulness and quick thinking. Some died in the process, but for the ones who survived, Julia asks how their experiences changed them. Could their love of sailing and the sea survive the harsh realities of war?

A beloved nun and social activist offers a soul-stirring guide for all who feel disillusioned and dissatisfied with the power-hungry institutions and systems of this world “A cri de coeur against the status quo and for a bold spirituality to fight injustice.”—The New York Times In The Time Is Now, Sister Joan Chittister—a rabble-rousing force of nature for social justice and fervent proponent of personal faith and spiritual fulfillment—draws on the wisdom of prophets, both ancient and modern, to help us confront the societal forces that oppress and silence the sacred voices among us. Pairing scriptural insights with narratives of the truth-tellers that came before us, Sister Joan offers a compelling vision for readers to combat complacency and to propel ourselves toward creating a world of justice, freedom, peace, and empowerment. For the weary, the cranky, and the fearful, this energizing message invites us to participate in a vision for a world greater than the one we find ourselves in today. This is spirituality in action; this is practical and powerful activism for our times. Praise for The Time Is Now “For decades Chittister has been a prolific author and advocate for women and social justice inside and outside the realm of the Catholic Church. Here she shares her perspective on the current state of equity, social justice, and the environment and calls on all Christians to explore the traits of prophets, many of which they can find within themselves . . . offering motivation as well as ways to accomplish change.”—Booklist “A series of short essays to encourage and refresh the spirit of activists . . . applicable to both progressive and conservative Christians. Will appeal to spiritual readers seeking an encouraging book for social justice advocacy.”—Library Journal (starred review)

UNCOMMON COURAGE: Faith, Hope and Love support a mother and daughter when schizophrenia shatters their world"A must-read for families living with special needs, who often need support in a battle where they need not fight alone. Cheryl Wiker was an inspiration when I met her 25 years ago. Her commitment to her daughter's quality of life was of profound influence in saving her little girl's life. Cheryl's taken her story of love and commitment and written a true-life account of how a mother's unyielding pursuit of justice can cause remarkable change to the status quo." Tony Fama, Managing Editor 50PLUSPRIME CBS entertainment channel"This heart-wrenching, yet ultimately uplifting, true story inspires me to face any life crisis with gratitude, faith, hope and love, while making me more aware of the scope of human suffering. Cheryl, as a single mother of three, rose above tremendous stress and pain with unusual grace, strength and commitment to help her mentally ill daughter live in a safe, nurturing environment. I hope readers of this book will find Cheryl's and Kim's fortitude as a companion to get through life's toughest moments and develop more compassion towards people with mental disorders." Emile Lin, PhD in Psychology (Cognitive Division, University of Illinois)"As a father of two teenage girls who are on their own emotional rollercoasters, this story grabbed me from the start. I can't imagine the heartbreak and emotional turmoil Cheryl and her family experienced. But the message of true hope, faith and love really stands out. It is made even more powerful by Cheryl's upbeat attitude towards life. In spite of the challenges and crisis we all must confront, this shows us life can still truly be wonderful!" Andrew Cotitsis, Writer/Producer/Editor CBS News, Detroit
