America in Peril by Bob Aldridge foreword by David Ray Griffin Read this book and weep! America is being conquered by a group of neoconservatives who under the guise of a "war on terror" and "national security" have systematically undermined democracy and are scrapping our Constitution. Starting with the characters that wiggled their way into the White House and conjured up a crisis to rally the country behind a wartime president, Aldridge, the author of First Strike, systematically paints a disturbing picture, delving into the decay of civil rights, showing how the government is not only keeping tabs on the populace but is also steadily eroding humanitarian law.

Remembering a Forgotten Grace Thoughts on Shame, Beauty, Romance and Radiance by Rod Tucker In a lifetime composed of falling short and trying to cover up mistakes, grace is a concept often misunderstood or forgotten. Shame, the belief that one is the problem, creates a false pretense which makes it seem logical to approach sin as something to be fixed. Tucker seeks to explain the problem of sin and shame in relationship to an unconditional grace through stories and thought processes. Living under the grace of God opens a vital opportunity to comprehend our continual newness and our potential to view others as children of God who are on a journey, are human, and at the same time, because of grace, are okay.

West Bank Diary: Middle East Violence
as Reported by a Former American Hostage by Jerry Levin When he was CNN’s Beirut Bureau Chief, Jerry Levin was kidnapped and held hostage by the Hezbollah for almost a year. Yet when he was released, instead of being vindictive against his captors, Jerry decided to devote his life to giving voice to peoples silenced by foreign policies that often victimize the innocent and so became a dedicated advocate for nonviolence and a volunteer for the Christian Peacemaker Team working in Hebron, West Bank. Determined to demonstrate the power of nonviolence, Jerry sets out to be an example as he escorts Palestinian children to school or farmers to their fields, being a peacemaker in a world filled with hate and violence. Levin tells of the plight of the Palestinians cut off from each other, from their hopes and dreams, their heritage and lives held hostage to myth and historical inaccuracy. Here Jerry sheds light on the suffering, violence and dispossession that belongs to the Palestinian people.

The Man in the Purple Cow House And Other Tales of Eccentricity by Mary Ames Mitchell Looking for an explanation for why her father, the scion of a wealthy Chicago family, had estranged himself from his friends and family 13 years earlier, the author not only stumbles on long-hidden truths about her father’s eccentric behavior, but also discovers a treasure he has hidden away. Supplemented by 39 personal photographs, this candid narrative grew out of Ms. Mitchell’s need to figure out what had actually happened to this unique and colorful character as he ambled towards mental illness. She traces his story backwards from Pasadena, California, where she grew up through nearly 400 years of family records in America describing their Puritan roots.
