Angel Tracks in the Himalayas
Few know the price of the Gospel like Gary Shepherd. This is a life-changing story of what it really takes to follow God's call. You may never look at your Bible the same way again... Gary's simple faith, captured in eloquent detail, will make you feel as if you are right in the center of the action: facing the King Cobra, hearing the witch scream, feeling the searing bullets. If you have ever wondered, in an age of relativism and limp-wristed Christianity, where the real Kingdom is operating-then read these pages. With honesty and craftsmanship, Gary relates his journey in a way that will comfort those who have served and know... and inspire those whose time has yet to come. "I have known G...
Mormon Passage
This work is the first to present detailed, first-person accounts of the Mormon missionary experience. Armed with little more than youthful vigor and firmly held religious convictions, twins Gary and Gordon Shepherd left their home in Salt Lake City in 1964 for two years as missionaries in Mexico. Mormon Passage is one result of that experience, a combination of diaries and field notes kept by the two during their mission and sociological analyses of their experiences. The brothers' goal is to help readers understand the consequences of the missionary experience for the vitality of Mormon religious life. "Seldom has excellent research been woven so tightly with personal experience. . . . Very well written, a compelling narrative and an absorbing analysis." -- Lavina Fielding Anderson, coeditor of Sisters in Spirit: Mormon Women in Historical and Cultural Perspective
A News Correspondent Goes Sailing
A News Correspondent Goes Sailing is a book about a sailing trip the author took after retiring from ABC Network News. In each chapter of the book, not only is the sailing adventure described, but the author also reminisces about some of the major news stories he covered as a broadcast journalist. The sailing trip began in October, 1997, and seven months later the sailboat, a Catalina 42 sloop, arrived in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. There were stops in Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, Acapulco, Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Cartagena, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Gary Shepard recalls such news assignments as the student rebellion in Beijing, China; the Vietnam War; President Bushas drug war meeting with heads of state in Cartagena, Colombia; the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island, Pennslvania; the young California gray whales strapped in the ice off Barrow, Alaska; and the first Persian Gulf War from Baghdad, Iraq.
The Palgrave Handbook of Global Mormonism
This handbook explores contemporary Mormonism within a global context. The authors provide a nuanced picture of a historically American religion in the throes of the same kinds of global change that virtually every conservative faith tradition faces today. They explain where and how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has penetrated national and cultural boundaries in Latin America, Oceania, Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as in North America beyond the borders of Mormon Utah. They also address numerous concerns within a multinational, multicultural church: What does it mean to be a Latter-day Saint in different world regions? What is the faith’s appeal to converts in these places? What are the peculiar problems for members who must manage Mormon identities in conjunction with their different national, cultural, and ethnic identities? How are leaders dealing with such issues as the status of women in a patriarchal church, the treatment of LGBTQ members, increasing disaffiliation of young people, and decreasing growth rates in North and Latin America while sustaining increasing growth in parts of Asia and Africa?

Gatewood
When Louis Gatewood Galbraith passed away in 2012, the flood of tributes honoring him merely scratched the surface of the life of this colorful and controversial figure. Throughout his political career, regional and national media outlets focused on the policy ideas and public acts that made Galbraith a cultural fixture: public demonstrations, an affinity for recreational drug use, unfiltered language, and recurring political campaigns. Best known as an advocate for the legalization of cannabis, Second Amendment rights, and smaller government, Galbraith was a perennial candidate whose once-quixotic platform might have found traction in contemporary Kentucky politics. In Gatewood: Kentucky's ...
