The Life and Times of a Good Soldier
Jon Carter grows up in the Bronx, influenced by his family's firm religious beliefs and commitment to peace. He goes to college, falls in love, and plans to marry after graduation. Life, despite the turbulent environment of 1960s America, is good. Then the draft board decides to send Jon to Vietnam. The call to duty throws Jon's future plans into disarray, and leaves him in a seemingly unwinnable moral quandary. Having hated violence his whole life, can he in good conscience carry a gun? Can he kill? Jon may oppose Washington's warmongers, but he loves his country and supports the troops. Dodging the draft is no answer—it's an insult to those already in uniform. At stake is Jon's very identity. Can he hold true to his own beliefs and still be a good soldier? Both a moving coming-of-age story and a profound commentary on the dangers of militant political thinking, The Life and Times of a Good Soldier follows Jon on his journey to manhood—a journey instantly recognizable to anyone who lived through the chaos, unrest, and fear generated by the Vietnam War.
Look Around
What do you see when you look around? Where does it lead, and to what end? Is there some purpose to it all? And if so, where do you fit in? And how might we fit in together? Maybe you have a faith but desire greater understanding. Maybe you had a faith and are disillusioned. Or maybe you want a faith but are skeptical. This book invites another look. It begins a conversation. Who is God? What is faith? What does God want from us? Why suffering? Why worship? Why work? Through these and other everyday questions, this book suggests possible answers. Answers don't arrest thought. Answers provoke thought and action--life. This book invites readers to look around so that they might discover a faith for the twenty-first century, a faith in conversation with science, a faith fit for deep personal questions, a faith ready to engage complex public issues. Like Moses on Mount Pisgah wondering about a land he could see but never enter, when looking around we may be awakened to hope.
