From the men and women associated with the American Revolution and Civil War to the seminal figures in the struggles for civil and women's rights, Americans have been fascinated with icons of great achievement, or at least reputation. But who spins today's narratives about American heroism, and to what end? In Where Have All the Heroes Gone?, Bruce Peabody and Krista Jenkins draw on the concept of the American hero to show an important gap between the views of political and media elites and the attitudes of the mass public. The authors contend that important changes over the past half century, including the increasing scope of new media and people's deepening political distrust, have drawn both politicians and producers of media content to the hero meme. However, popular reaction to this turn to heroism has been largely skeptical. As a result, the conversations and judgments of ordinary Americans, government officials, and media elites are often deeply divergent. Investigating the story of American heroes over the past five decades provides a narrative that can teach us about such issues as political socialization, institutional trust, and political communication.

Invisible Heroes - Footsteps to the Cross was an opportunity for me to use my gift and passion for writing in a way that I pray is pleasing to our Lord. The idea for the book came to me after hearing an old song by Bill Anderson titled, "Where Have all the Heroes Gone", and reading the words of two other songs, "Footsteps of Jesus" by Asa Everett and Mary Slade, and, "I Want to be Just Like You" by Phillips, Craig, and Dean. The thought occurred to me that too many of us pay a type of homage to people who have gifts, talents, or abilities that have brought them fame and fortune without paying attention to whether those people have used God's gifts to honor Him, or if they are simply interested in self. The purpose of the book is to encourage each of us to evaluate our own lives to determine if we are emulating Christ-like values or if we are also more concerned with self.

The book of Proverbs is power packed with wisdom that will guide God’s people in daily living and is widely recognized as a source of sound, practical wisdom. It’s a rich fountain of profound but simple insight. In Volume 1 of Treasures from an Old Book, author Lorin Bradbury, Ph.D. addresses every verse of the first nine chapters of the book of Proverbs in a series of fifty-one unique lessons. He draws upon more than forty years of pastoral experience, making practical applications throughout each lesson to encourage the Christian needing a word of inspiration and to provide insight and application for a busy pastor teaching on these timeless truths. Ranging from establishing a sure foundation on the word of God, to fear of the Lord, to parental instruction, to warnings against enticement from the world, Bradbury shows that a study in Proverbs has the potential to improve how you relate to your children, spouse, neighbors, and coworkers, and most importantly, how you relate to God. Lorin Bradbury, Ph.D. is both a pastor and a psychologist and draws upon both disciplines in communicating scriptural truths. Lorin Bradbury is very intelligent and highly educated. Coupled with his intelligence is his solid, practical understanding and perception. In this book, he has succeeded in unpacking the treasures of wisdom found in “Proverbs” and displayed them so that each of us have access to godly wisdom in our daily lives. —Terry Pugh, Pastor Odessa, TX Wisdom has been defined as, “knowing what to do next.” The wisdom of God is found in the book of Proverbs. In these pages, Dr. Bradbury does an exceptional job of making the insight of Proverbs relevant for today. This is an incredible resource for any pastor or Bible teacher. You will never be any better than your resource. The material in this book is well researched and exceptional in the presentation. —Carlton Coon, Pastor & Author Springfield, MO

We all yearn for home; a place to call our own, put up our weary feet, and bask in the glow of belonging. Diaz’s first collection is a warm hearth for the weary. His poetry gives one the sense that they are not alone and that home is just around the corner. In this book of poems Diaz considers the divine embedded within reality and takes the reader through personal loss, theological reflection, and the seemingly mundane. Each poem balances faith and doubt, joy and sorrow, and leaves one with a sense that the world is far more fantastical than we give it credit. Diaz’s poetic output is diverse and varied, written in poignant free verse, lyric, and ballad poetry. For Those Wandering Along the Way invites us to take up a sacramental vision of the world and, in turn, helps us long for our true home.

True American heroes need not have superhuman abilities nor do they need to act alone. Heroism in a democracy is different from the heroism of myths and legends, writes Gerald Pomper in this original contribution to the literature of U.S. politics. Through the remarkable stories of eight diverse Americans who acted as heroes by "just doing their jobs" during national crises, he offers a provocative definition of heroism and fresh reasons to respect U.S. institutions and the people who work within them. This new paperback edition includes photographs, an introductory chapter on American heroism after 9/11, a survey of the meanings of heroism in U.S. popular culture, and an original concluding theory of "ordinary" heroism.

A series of stories put together to make you laugh and reflect on the good things in life. Many of the stories are true in nature, telling of the comical things said and done by kids and grandkids as they were growing up. There is also a mixture of fiction and some stories about the author's thoughts as he travels to and fro. Hunters and fishermen will enjoy the fiction. Moms will recognize such things as an occasional toad in the jeans pockets. Nature lovers will enjoy the lines about the wind, clouds, and trees. Most of these stories are written to ease the stress of daily life. If you take the time to read two stories a day for a month, see how they may start or end your day with a laugh, and at the end of the month, you may be less stressed out.

Paradise lost? Op-ed journalist Rajendra Ramlogan has used his weekly column to cast a critical yet fond eye over life in his native Trinidad and Tobago, often doing so within the context of regional and international developments. Can these sister Caribbean islands play to their strengths to throw off the corruption and crime that threaten to drag them down? Since independence in the 1960s, the struggle for Trinidad and Tobago has been to fulfil its early promise, with politics descending into name-calling and self-preservation rather than attaining the aspirations and hopes of early post-colonial leaders. Its cultural diversity, with a population of mixed African and Indian descent, makes TT a unique place with music, food and holidays like nowhere else, but it can also cause tensions. Ultimately to really love a place, one must truly know it in all its imperfections.
