In 1966, nine young men left the Arizona desert mining camp of Morenci to serve their country in the far-flung jungles of Vietnam, in danger zones from Hue to Khe Sanh. Ultimately, only three survived. Each battled survivor’s guilt, difficult re-entries into civilian life, and traumas from personally experiencing war—and losing close friends along the way. Such stories recurred throughout America, but the Morenci Marines stood out. ABC News and Time magazine recounted their moving tale during the war, and, in 2007, the Arizona Republic selected the “Morenci Nine” as the most important veterans’ story in state history. Returning to the soldiers’ Morenci roots, Kyle Longley’s acc...
"'There ain't no mourners on Boot Hill.'" Humorous, frank, painful, overcoming, revealing...just a few ingredients in this tale of one man's journey into victorious living. "The Good," "The Bad," and "The Ugly" are three distinct sections in this author's life, but they all come together in the fourth, showing God's magnificent power. "Hit the floor," says the author, "then stand up and get ready to fly! For God brings you out of your darkest cave and onto the center stage of lights, all for the accomplishing of his eternal purpose. This book is for you if you need... - hope of conquering another's bullying, - instructions for winning over codependency and depression, - more proof God is standing by and ready to make you a winner, - or a jolt to conquer complaining and start encouraging. It's the fire that will ignite new choices and make you too...an overcomer! Larry West is the author, public speaker, radio personality, and Christian leader of an evangelism movement called We Care Ministries. He is the father of Missy Robertson of A&E's successful reality show Duck Dynasty. "It's all a matter of better choices," says the author. "Each must choose!"
Billy the Kid, Wild Bill Hickok, Belle Starr, Wyatt Earp, the Younger Gang, the Dalton-Doolin Gang and Bat Masterson--these real-life lawmen and lawbreakers have been the basis of so many Hollywood Westerns that it has become difficult to discover where the truth ends and the legend begins. All actually became larger-than-life characters during their lifetimes, as contemporary newspapers and books embellished their deeds for their own purposes. But it was in Hollywood that the line between reality and myth was completely blurred. Each chapter-length entry here first focuses on the known facts of the people's lives and how each became truly legendary during their lifetimes. The reality is then compared to how they have been portrayed in the movies.
Forty years: that is how many years author Larry West can attest to placing Jesus in the driver's seat of his life while navigating on his own. His new autobiography, Forty Years with Jesus in the Back Seat, presents several stories from Larry's life where God told him to go one way and he went a different way. He accepted Jesus at a young age, but began to drift away from the Lord while working in the family business and pursuing a career as a car salesman. Larry also shares how the Lord took a back seat during his past three marriages; all actions corresponding to his rejection of Christ's call to ministry. However, something changed in Larry and he journeyed back to the Lord of his youth, realizing his need to repent, need for Jesus, and need to encourage other lukewarm Christians to get Jesus in the driver's seat.

The Topsfield Fair is the oldest agricultural fair in America. In 1818, men of Essex County formed the Essex Agricultural Society in Topsfield, Massachusetts, with Col. Timothy Pickering of Salem, a Revolutionary War hero, agriculturist, and elder statesman as president. The mission was to promote and share new and progressive methods of agriculture and to show cattle at an annual outing. For nearly a century, the fair was moved to various towns within the county until 1910, when it settled into its permanent home in Topsfield. For nearly two hundred years, the Topsfield Fair has attracted millions of people to witness a spectacular fall event rooted in agriculture but also filled with thril...
