Uncommon Valor
Uncommon Valor from Dwight Jon Zimmerman and John D. Gresham presents a fascinating look at six of our bravest soldiers and the highest military decoration awarded in this country. Since the Vietnam War ended in 1973, the Medal of Honor, our nation's highest award for valor, has been presented to only ten men for their actions "above and beyond the call of duty." Eight of the ten were young men who fought in the current war in Iraq, in Afghanistan, or both. Uncommon Valor answers the searing question of who these young soldiers were, and dramatically details why they found themselves in life-or-death situations, and how they responded. This book also provides a comprehensive history of the Medal of Honor—one marred by controversies, scandals, and theft. Using an extraordinary range of sources, including interviews with family members and friends, teammates and superiors in the military, personal letters, blogs posted within hours of events, personal and official videos, and newly declassified documents, Uncommon Valor is a compelling and important work that recounts incredible acts of heroism and lays bare the ultimate sacrifice of our bravest soldiers.
Jesus 101
"Christology is an expression of a deep love for Jesus Christ. Not only does Dr. Gresham demonstrate this in Jesus 101, he models it so we can follow him." Dr. Scott Hahn, Professor of Theology and Scripture at Franciscan University of Steubenville People desiring an authoritative, yet understandable overview of Catholic teaching on the doctrinal and scriptural background of the human-divine person of Jesus need look no further than this book by acclaimed theologian John L. Gresham. The latest volume in Liguori's 101 series offers readers from high school age to adult an introductory course in the theology of Jesus--but without the academic vocabulary that can be a stumbling block in many texts. Recently there's been a gratifying upsurge in interest in the basics of Catholicism. Gresham, who writes with an easy style and clear tone, provides an up-to-date take on a central tenet of the faith. His experience as a convert lends helpful insights for understanding complex topics. Discussion Questions View sample pages. "Paperback"
