Jeff Struecker, a "Black Hawk Down" hero, the Army's Top Ranger, now an Army Chaplain, relates his own tales from the frontlines of every U.S. initiative since Panama, and tells how God taught him faith from the front in fear-soaked times. As readers go on-mission with Struecker through his harrowing tales, they will learn how to face their own fears with faith in a mighty God. Just as he told one of his charges in Mogadishu: "The difference between being a coward and a hero is not whether you're scared, it's what you do while you're scared."

"Unafraid is a different kind of novel. While its story captivated me, its exploration of the possible was lifting my hopes for America and the world. This is a fine and important book."

-Mark Gerzon, author, Leading Through Conflict and President of the Mediators Foundation

A bullet strays three inches. A world is transformed.

Two dates burn fiercely in the memory of millions of Americans: November 22, 1963 and September 11, 2001. These two tragedies bracket Unafraid, a story grounded in a simple question: what if the fatal bullet fired on that sunny Dallas afternoon had veered three inches off target?

Unafraid lays out a compelling answer, rich with the public adventures and private dramas of 20th Century icons-J. Edgar Hoover, Martin Luther King, Fidel Castro, Golda Meir, the Beatles-played out on a transformed world stage. At the center of this parallel history is a leader who blows the sides out of conventional politics with a simple belief: a primary reason that idealistic goals are "impossible" to achieve is that we needlessly decide that they're impossible to achieve.

With a tiny imaginary spin of history's wheel, Unafraid opens the gates to an America of realistic hope and possibility.

"What an exciting, clever, imaginative book! And more, what an insightful, important one. This is the Great Read you've been looking for."

-Neale Donald Walsch, author of the Conversations with God series.

In her deeply affecting, vividly written memoir, Rosemary L. Bray describes with remarkable frankness growing up poor in Chicago in the 1960s, and her childhood shaped by welfare, the Roman Catholic Church, and the civil rights movement.

Bray writes poignantly of her lasting dread of the cold and the dark that characterized her years of poverty; of her mother's extraordinary strength and resourcefulness; and of the system that miraculously enabled her mother to scrape together enough to keep the children fed and clothed. Bray's parents, held together by their ambitions for their children and painfully divided by their poverty, punctuate young Rosemary's nights with their violent fights and define her days with their struggles.

This powerful, ultimately inspiring book is a moving testimony of the history Bray overcame, and the racial obstacles she continues to see in her children's way..

Roy Campbell (1902–57) led an unquiet life marked by numerous affairs (both real and imagined), brawls (he once attacked Stephen Spender on stage during a poetry recital), and curious stunts (with the help of Dylan Thomas, he once ate a vase of daffodils in celebration of St. David’s Day). It was also marked by numerous controversies, especially Campbell’s running feud with Virginia Woolf and her Bloomsbury group of intellectuals, about whom he remarked in "The Georgiad": "Hither flock all the crowds whom love has wrecked / Of intellectuals without intellect / And sexless folk whose sexes intersect…."

Acknowledged as one of the finest poets of his generation after the publication of his long poem The Flaming Terrapin, Campbell came to prominence in the 1920s when he captured the imagination of the English intelligentsia with his romantic background and controversial style. Pearce’s vivid biography centers on Campbell’s ongoing feud with the Bloomsbury group and the ideas they championed, the friendships Campbell forged with figures such as C. S. Lewis, T. S. Eliot, and the Sitwells, and Roy and his wife Mary’s reception into the Catholic Church. Campbell’s literary relationships and wonderfully romantic life is, thus, the context for this riveting account of Campbell’s reckless life and the fascinating poetry that was left behind. That poetry, in the judgment of Pearce, was "both perplexing and challenging—yet no more so than the poet himself." Both Roy Campbell the man and his poetry richly deserve the engrossing reappraisal offered here by acclaimed biographer Joseph Pearce..

Are there still missionaries in Africa? Surely not! Hasnt a westernised media reached everywhere? Yet there are still places largely undisturbed by the modern world, places where a foreigner is someone from a village 5 miles away. Strange societies where there are only 6 days to the week and no such thing as a year (and consequently no birthdays)? Where polygamy is a virtue and sisters are regularly swapped? Where the most powerful people in a village are not tribal chiefs but Witch Doctors, who have practiced their art for fathomless years? Places held sacred for millennia places where to be afraid is good for your chances of survival. In such places live the Konkomba. In this exciting story of modern missionary endeavour a strong, countercultural theme of sacrifice comes through. Ronald and Rossana Lidorio, working on the foundations of others, have seen 17 churches planted in this previously unreached area and 81 church leaders trained. The Konkomba tribes are now sending their own evangelists into other areas to bring the Good News of Christ to more people. Ghana is considered one of the success stories of West Africa. Its government is relatively stable and the widespread use of English gives it easier access to the world at large. Ronaldo and Rossana Lidorio, missionaries with W.E.C. International, did not go to the lightly Westernised south but to the north of Ghana where they faced formidable cultural and language barriers, illiteracy and human sacrifice. Would you be unafraid of the Sacred Forest?.
