Honor
"From the earliest records of human civilization until the dawn of the twentieth century, and in widely separated cultures throughout the world, the story of honor was inseparable from the story of mankind. Today, an acquaintance with the concept of honor is indispensable to understanding the culture of the Islamic world and its sense of grievance against the West, where honor has been disregarded or actively despised for three-quarters of a century." "James Bowman draws from an wealth of sources across many centuries to illuminate honor's curious history in our own culture, and he discovers that Western honor was always different from that found elsewhere.

Cruisin' the Original
In the 1950s, cruising swept the nation. American street became impromptu racetracks as soon as the police turned their backs. Young people piled into friends' cars and cruised their main streets with a new sense of freedom. Pent-up desires after the hardships of World War II plus a booming economy fueled a car-buying frenzy. To lure buyers to their particular makes and models, automobile companies targeted the youth market by focusing on design and performance. No place was that more relevant than on metro Detroit's Woodward Avenue, the city's number-one cruising destination and home of the world's automobile industry. Barely 50 years earlier, Henry Ford rolled his first Model T off the assembly line at Piquette and Woodward, just south of where cruisers, dragsters, and automobile engineers ignited each other's excitement over cars. This unique relationship extended into the muscle car era of the 1960s, as Woodward Avenue continued to reflect the triumphs and downturns of the industry that made Detroit known throughout the world.
Sudden Change
In Alabama, football is king. It dominates many aspects of life in the southern state. For Jerry Glover, the former head student manager for the University of Alabama's Crimson Tide, life was rolling along at a strong and desirable clip despite some of his deceptive and potentially destructive actions. But as coach Paul "Bear" Bryant taught him and the other members of the football team, you need to be ready for any quick change in your life's direction, like you would for a fumble or an interception on the gridiron. His father's illness made Glover take an inward look at his own life and where it was headed as Jesus Christ entered his world in a dynamic and supernatural way. After forty-four years of denying and hiding, Glover witnessed what he needed to see-that those who play properly win. As Glover puts himself under center in this play-by-play account of his life, he challenges and inspires you to do the same so that you, too, can know the rewards of living your life the right way, without denial or delusions and affirming a powerful and transformative commitment to God.
