With Gladness and Singleness of Heart
With Gladness and Singleness of Heart; My Life with My Lord is the spiritual journey of a man named R. Logan Carson who was born black and without physical sight in the hills of North Carolina in the early 1930's. Even before he knew Christ as Lord and Saviour, God's hand was on him from the earliest point in time. Coming from a family who thought he would be a burden to them, the author tells how God led him from the hills, to a segregated school for the blind, and what transpired from that point on. The barriers of racial, economic and social discrimination were overcome by the leadership of God. How he came to his present position as Distinguished Professor of Christian Theology at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Wake Forest, NC, and how he was blessed with a loving, caring wife and two children is the inspiring story of one who hopes that others surrounded by barriers and "handicaps" will let God lead them to higher heights and greater gains so that they, too, may praise Him "with gladness and singleness of heart" (Acts 2:46).
Growing Up as a Baby Boomer
Robert Greenway is Crane's favorite hero. In this book he matures from a five-year-old disappointed in his father's ethics to a forty-five-year-old owner of a British inn, The Young Black Horse, in which he is "expected" to stage an annual pigeon race for his "regulars." These stories, some poignant, most hilarious, demonstrate that all of us undergo the same tests in becoming adults--disillusionment, loss of innocence, and summer jobs--learning that the world we are entering is different from the one we expected. Greenway's biggest test comes at 16 when he completely fails at operating a roller coaster.

The Politics of Presidential Appointments
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, many questioned whether the large number of political appointees in the Federal Emergency Management Agency contributed to the agency's poor handling of the catastrophe, ultimately costing hundreds of lives and causing immeasurable pain and suffering. The Politics of Presidential Appointments examines in depth how and why presidents use political appointees and how their choices impact government performance--for better or worse.

Sergeant Sappho
"Being gay and being in the Army was a never-ending struggle for me. Nothing, and no one was safe, and being on guard continuously for almost ten years left indelible scars. In spite of everything, being a veteran is my proudest identification." Sidney K. Lebhart says of her upfront memoir Sergeant Sappho, "I am a lesbian who served in the U.S. Army from 1969 until 1979. This is the story of my career, starting with the trials of basic training. It tells of the places I was stationed, how I became a drill sergeant, and features my loves and losses through the years as I served in secret from an Army determined to destroy the career hopes of gay soldiers." Sid describes herself as a child of the fifties and sixties who just wanted to make sense of who she is. A family background of military service led her to believe the Army would be a safe place to grow up and really find herself. The significant people in this story about her life include Sid's gay ex-husband whom she describes as "a great, good friend." Mary Ellen was Sid's one great love, while Mandy was the gentle love who gave Sid the most precious of gifts: a child.

The Dust of Man
As an Emergency Medical Technician driven to save lives, I nearly lost mine to the failures. Each loss continued to fray the tether that held my sanity to this world. While searching for an understanding of death amidst my own alcoholic frenzy, I stumbled upon the meaning of life, and a story of self-sacrifice and redemption materialized through my eventual acceptance of the turmoil that is life. I call it The Dust of Man. I was 20-years-old when I started my EMS career as an advanced Emergency Medical Technician in a rural area. For seven years I worked with a volunteer ambulance squad with only one other emergency medical technician. The lack of volunteers made it necessary for me to go on every call possible, including those involving family. It seemed my grasp on reality would slip at any moment.
