Remember the Persecuted
China. Iraq. Sudan. Burma. They are among the countries most widely known for religious persecution, yet amazingly, the Christian church continues to grow within their borders. They are just a few of the countries around the world where, every day, millions of believers face the unspeakable danger of imprisonment, torture, and even martyrdom because of their Christian faith. The year was 1995 when Jim Jacobson, a former White House policy analyst, took the helm of the nonprofit organization that would become Christian Freedom International. As he traveled around the world, discovering firsthand the true plight of thousands of suffering Christians, his resolve and overwhelming compassion would become the driving force behind CFI s mission to assist those who are persecuted for their faith in Jesus Christ. From a sleepy farming town in Michigan to the war zones of Burma, Remember the Persecuted is the redemptive story of one man's calling to minister to the afflicted, as well as a challenge to all those who live free to remember the prisoners as if chained with them.

Welcome Home, Boys!
"This book takes on the subject of military victory parades in New York City during the first half of the 20th century and looks on these performances as political street theater. The study shows how abstract concepts like the nation-state or Americanism were represented and embodied in these events. With its focus on the three main groups of actors involved in the parades (organizers, soldiers, spectators), the book demonstrates how these marches can only be understood as a collaboration of these actors-- each group interpreting the event in their very distinct ways. The book deepens our understanding of how political performances functioned in the U.S. and how they made an impact on society"--Page 4 of cover.
Never a Dull Moment
Extraordinary people lead extraordinary lives and, from the beginning, even before he had any control over his life, John Meigs’ life was extraordinary: kidnapped by his father, never to see his mother again. Once on his own, he tried his hand as a reporter in Los Angeles in 1936, and then in Honolulu, where he got drawn into the art world, becoming one of the original designers of the Hawaiian aloha shirts. Those pursuits were interrupted with the onset of World War II and John’s enlistment in the Navy. After a serendipitous escape of death and military duty in Florida, John returned to Hawaii, where he met New Mexico artist Peter Hurd. That encounter led John to New Mexico and to inter...

In Take the Journey: Teaching American History Through Place-Based Learning, author, historian, and educator James Percoco invites you and your students to the places where many events in American history happened. The Journey Through Hallowed Ground is a 180-mile National Heritage area encompassing such historic sites as the Gettysburg battlefield and Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello.

Punch
Punch is the story of two twenty-somethings living under assumed identities, put into hiding by the FBI. Out of touch with their families and friends and ignored by the very people who put them there, they each must invent new methods of adapting in a world they no longer understand.

But as the months drag on without a word from the FBI and haunted by her sense of herself and her place in the world, she pushes the envelope, not always the best answer when you’re being hunted by a serial killer. Con...
