Book excerpt: Born on New York City's streets to a prostitute, Jeff Goss spent his first six years in an orphanage. Orphanage matrons and peers mistreated him because of his physical ugliness. He decided to make it on his own, and ran away at age six. He earned his way by working for several merchants until he joined the navy at age seventeen. He spoke and understood ten foreign languages by that time. When the Admiral discovered his language skills he promoted him to Lieutenant Commander rank as an interpreter at foreign sessions. He credited his life on the streets for his knowledge of dealing with humanity. It was not long before he was induced to join the Office of Strategic Services. He never failed a mission whether on home soil or Europe. His most dangerous assignment was to get invited to Hitler's party to obtain secret information for President Roosevelt. He was successful, and lived to tell about it. Hollywood never produced a spy movie like the story of Admiral Jeff D. Goss.

Book excerpt: The emergence of the Mormon church is arguably the most radical event in American religious history. How and why did so many Americans flock to this new religion, and why did so many other Americans seek to silence or even destroy that movement? Winner of the MHA Best Book Award by the Mormon History Association Mormonism exploded across America in 1830, and America exploded right back. By 1834, the new religion had been mocked, harassed, and finally expelled from its new settlements in Missouri. Why did this religion generate such anger? And what do these early conflicts say about our struggles with religious liberty today? In No Place for Saints, the first stand-alone history of the Mormon expulsion from Jackson County and the genesis of Mormonism, Adam Jortner chronicles how Latter-day Saints emerged and spread their faith—and how anti-Mormons tried to stop them. Early on, Jortner explains, anti-Mormonism thrived on gossip, conspiracies, and outright fables about what Mormons were up to. Anti-Mormons came to believe Mormons were a threat to democracy, and anyone who claimed revelation from God was an enemy of the people with no rights to citizenship. By 1833, Jackson County's anti-Mormons demanded all Saints leave the county. When Mormons refused—citing the First Amendment—the anti-Mormons attacked their homes, held their leaders at gunpoint, and performed one of America's most egregious acts of religious cleansing. From the beginnings of Mormonism in the 1820s to their expansion and expulsion in 1834, Jortner discusses many of the most prominent issues and events in Mormon history. He touches on the process of revelation, the relationship between magic and LDS practice, the rise of the priesthood, the questions surrounding Mormonism and African Americans, the internal struggles for leadership of the young church, and how American law shaped this American religion. Throughout, No Place for Saints shows how Mormonism—and the violent backlash against it—fundamentally reshaped the American religious and legal landscape. Ultimately, the book is a story of Jacksonian America, of how democracy can fail religious freedom, and a case study in popular politics as America entered a great age of religion and violence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it a case of genius or criminal behavior? Have a brilliant innkeeper and her husband, a retired wildlife photographer, relied on genius or hidden cameras to reveal the love lives of their guests? These questions stir the controversy at the center of The Ultimate Voyeur. The owners of a Southern inn renowned for hospitality, Catherine Morgan and her husband are uncanny in their way of breaching barriers that people hide behind. Each chapter of The Ultimate Voyeur explores the innkeepers personal story and includes an episode involving guests. One guest, a talented scriptwriter, learns about the several hundred files compiled by Catherine and turns them with the innkeepers help into a massively popular TV program airing once a week. The episodes unfold the hidden love lives of the guests, extending from ingenious bedroom farce (The Jinx in High Jinks) to passionate romance (The Ten-Million-Dollar Wedding Ring) to something sinister (Whodunit to the Famous Mystery Writer?). The portrayal of the mystery writer strikes too close to home. Infuriated at his loss of privacy and sure that hidden cameras are to blame, he finds ambiguous evidence at the inn and plots his vengeance. In his wild retaliation that transcends his cardboard characters, the separate realms of life and art explode on contact to reveal the innkeepers inmost secrets. At the climax, one is led to fundamental insights into secrets at the heart of everybody and the chaos or compassion that results from their disclosure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meghan Martins walked into the cosmetology school and straight into the path of Becky Ellingson, her husbands ex-girlfriend. Twenty minutes later, Meghan raced out of Hair Nation with half her head highlighted and the reality that her husband was not who she thought he was. He had a son, a bank account, and jobs to provide child support, which she knew nothing about. Meghan thought shed find clarity by running away, but she found the truth to be far more distorted than shed imagined. Everyone was hiding something. And everyone, it seemed, was struggling to maintain the notion that he or she was somehow better than someone else. It would take counseling, a good Bible study, and a whole lot of tea to get Meghan Martins and her husband, Ben, back on the same page. Meghan would come to realize she was hiding just as much as her husband and that she was equally capable of creating damage. Tragedy, controversy, and a new understanding of the human condition await Meghan in the tiny town of Oronoco, Minnesota, but so do adventure, hope, and witty friends who bring meaning back to her life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reporting the Cuban Revolution reveals the untold story of thirteen American journalists in Cuba whose stories about Fidel Castro’s revolution changed the way Americans viewed the conflict and altered U.S. foreign policy in Castro’s favor. Between 1956 and 1959, the thirteen correspondents worked underground in Cuba, evading the repressive censorship of Fulgencio Batista’s dictatorship in order to report on the rebellion led by Fidel Castro. The journalists’ stories appeared in major newspapers, magazines, and national television and radio, influencing Congress to abruptly cut off shipments of arms to Batista in 1958. Castro was so appreciative of the journalists’ efforts to publicize his rebellion that on his first visit to the United States as premier of Cuba, he invited the reporters to a private reception at the Cuban Embassy in Washington, where he presented them with engraved gold medals. While the medals revealed Castro’s perception of the correspondents as like-minded partisans, the journalists themselves had no such intentions. Some had journeyed to Cuba in pursuit of scoops that could rejuvenate or jump-start their careers; others sought to promote press freedom in Latin America; still others were simply carrying out assignments from their editors. Bringing to light the disparate motives and experiences of the thirteen journalists who reported on this crucial period in Cuba’s history, Reporting the Cuban Revolution is both a masterwork of narrative nonfiction and a deft analysis of the tension between propaganda and objectivity in the work of American foreign correspondents.

Book excerpt: It is safe to say most Christians do not live like Jesus did, have the same influence on people he had, or draw even the slightest curiosity from the on-looking world. Jesus's ability to woo people to him and win their hearts was directly related to how he challenged their assumptions about religion. He not only gave them a unique, personal way to follow him but also showed them how to participate with him in his mission. Sacrilege helps readers rethink what it really means to become like Jesus. It exposes the patterns of thinking that have held the church hostage for years and inspires readers to rethink the way they understand Scripture, family, spiritual formation, conversion, church, sin, and more.

Book excerpt: The Plea is a thrilling conclusion to Joe Kavinsky's role in capturing and bringing to justice a gang of drug smugglers terrorizing the Upper Midwest with drugs and death. Focusing on how drugs beget terrorism, the story features a pretty young Muslim woman who was the drug lord's companion planning terrorism at a giant shopping mall. She claims she's innocent and being denied a plea bargain promised by federal and local authorities by helping them capture the drug lord. However, her promise is ignored and she's locked up without charges and goes through a very complex hearing before a judge who is considered biased, despite Joe's efforts for fairness in her behalf. A "shady" lawyer is suspected of being paid off by the Taliban if she's deported back to them. But before the judge makes a decision, Kavinsky also becomes involved in the capture of another woman...the killer of Joe's police partner who also helped to round up the terrorists. All this poses the questions: How will the mistreated woman prisoner be judged? Who's the bad attorney? And who's the cop killer? The way this story unfolds...there are some very exciting and surprising answers!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes an opportunity comes along that you just can’t resist… As a member of the Tri-State Federal Drug Task Force, Antonio Alvarez seizes the opportunity to go undercover with the Deadly Demons MC when it unexpectedly arises. Although his main objective is to locate the missing prospect, T-Bone, who disappeared with Sloane’s sister, Sadie, it also gives him a chance to get closer to Sapphire, the former hostess of The Peach Pit. The fact that she still works at the Demons-owned gentlemen’s club doesn’t sit well with Rez. However, Sapphire is a strong and fiercely independent woman who won’t be told what to do. When he and his brothers finally find Sadie, what they discover sends shockwaves through the Blue Avengers MC and triggers painful memories from the past. As if that weren’t enough, a clash between the Demons and Sapphire puts her at risk, ultimately forcing her to leave her job. In the end, Rez may get what he wants, but not without paying a price for it first. Note: Beyond the Badge: Rez is the fourth book in the Blue Avengers MC series. It’s HIGHLY recommended to read this six-book action/adventure series in order due to the continuing story arcs (subplots). However, each book focuses on a different couple who gets their HEA. This series has no cheating or relationship cliffhangers.

Success is defined in today s culture mostly by monetary wealth. Leaders are defined by leading. But champions are in a class by themselves. They are not defined by money or followers, but by how they live and influence people in ways that glorify God and encourage and inspire others. Examining the lives of biblical and modern-day champions gives you the keys to becoming a champion through developing: Â· Stamina during challenges. Â· Winning character traits. Â· Integrity and trustworthiness. Â· Leadership qualities. Â· Solid moral values. Author and pastor Kenneth Ulmer offers guidance and advice in a world increasingly bereft of true champions. You will learn how to stay on track to becoming a true champion God s way, and not be tripped up as many self-described Christian leaders have been in recent years. Choose today to be a champion!
