The Ray Vincent Story
Another tragic auto accident. Another shocking loss of young life. A true story of how an entire community is influenced by the Christian life and testimony of one teenage boy.
The Prisoner of Magic City
In 1980 Ray Vincent left San Francisco because he was suffering from multiple sclerosis. He moved back to Barberton, Ohio (“Magic City”) to live with his mother, who was a nurse, bringing with him a package of poems and stories. But it was in San Francisco that Ray felt at home, synthesizing his life with poetry. Most of Ray's writings reflect the events of those times, his own life's events and passions. This book is a collection of his work of more than a dozen years in those unsettled and idealistic times, and includes memories of Ray from some of his friends.

Holding Out and Hanging on
Words cannot adequately convey the human dimension of the devastation wreaked on New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina. Thomas Neff's photographs can. As a volunteer in the city in the early days after the flood, this Baton Rouge photographer witnessed firsthand the confusion and suffering that was New Orleans--as well as the persistence and strength of those who stuck it out. Neff subsequently spent forty-five days interviewing and photographing the city's holdouts, and his record is a heartbreaking but compelling look at the true impact of the disaster. At a time when New Orleans residents felt isolated and abandoned, Neff provided the ear that many needed. The friendship he extended enabled hi...

Don't Wound What You Can't Kill
On a dark and cold November night, Vincent is on his way to close the biggest deal of his life and pave the way for his dream of opening his own tax firm to become a reality. But when he is nearly killed by his cousin's henchmen, his life is forever changed.

Chasing an Elusive God
Is there anyone “up there” to hear our cries for help? Will there ever be justice in this world? Why do we suffer? Is there life after death? Is there a meaning in history? How will it all end? Is there a God? What do we mean by “God” anyway? The answers are in the Bible, some say. But are they? This book is a guide to reading the Bible not to find answers but to hear the urgency of the questions and to realise that those who wrote the Bible were searching too. They searched in many different ways. Sometimes what they say seems alien to our way of thinking. Sometimes we feel they are kindred spirits. Sometimes they challenge us to think again. Often they argue with one another, and as we read their words and respond to them we become part of the ongoing conversation. This, rather than false notions of “authority”, is what makes the Bible relevant and exciting. ,
What Made Him Sing
A soul-baring chronicle through 64 poems of a Vietnam draft-dodger who dropped out of society and never found his way back. His search for meaning through poetry led from Akron, Ohio to the East Coast and then to San Francisco, where he worked for a time at City Lights Bookstore, owned by the famous poet, Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Through these poems the price the author paid for his refusal to conform becomes more and more apparent in his own admissions of loneliness and confusion. His struggles and points of view on issues mirror that of many ‘hippies’ during the 60’s, and provide insight into the social turmoil of those years. Dying at the age of 39, his dreams of becoming a successful poet were never realized. The poems included in What Made Him Sing, published long after his death, were not ones their author would have wanted to share with the world, but they are the ones that finally reveal who he was. The author’s very personal search for meaning is also a universal one that will touch a chord in every reader.
