It Was Like a Life, I Guess
Short stories by Thomas McGovern
Hard Boys + Bad Girls
79 startling color photos and engaging interviews introduce twenty driven young people who strive for careers as professional wrestlers. Working day jobs in San Bernardino, California, as truck drivers, cashiers, and secretaries, these men and women seek goals of fame and stardom. Compiled at various stages of their careers at the School of Hard Knocks and the affiliated Empire Wrestling Federation, heartfelt interviews expose what motivates them toward this competitive and dangerous profession. Enter their world to discover the passion needed to step out of the ordinary work-a-day world into a ring with other wrestlers on their way up.
Priestly Identity
It is generally accepted that since the end of Vatican II there has been a crisis in the Catholic priesthood. This is reflected in two areas in particular--defections from the priesthood and a serious decline in vocations, primarily in the developed countries of the West. John Paul II has addressed this situation many times during his pontificate, especially in Pastores dabo vobis where he offers a clear theological vision and a program of formation to overcome the current crisis of priestly identity. In his new book McGovern offers a deep analysis of the Pope's theology of priesthood, drawing not only from Pastores dabo vobis, but also from his Holy Thursday Letters and other important writings on this topic. In this study the author deals with core aspects of priestly identity under three main headings--theological, spiritual, and pastoral--in the context of service to the lay faithful and the evangelization required of the Church in the new millennium.

Call Me Tom
Call Me Tom is the first book-length biography of one of Missouri’s most successful senators. A moderate liberal in a conservative state, Thomas F. Eagleton was known for his political independence, integrity, and intelligence, likely the reasons Eagleton never once lost an election in his thirty years of public service. Born in St. Louis, Eagleton began his public career in 1956 as St. Louis Circuit Attorney. At 27, he was the youngest person in the history of the state to hold that position, and he duplicated the feat in his next two elected positions, attorney general in 1960 and lieutenant governor in 1964. In 1968, he was elected to the U.S. Senate, where he served until 1987. He was ...
