Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1987, twelve-year-old Cooper Balsam's mother, Arden, disappears without a trace. Cooper's father, Percy, a Vietnam veteran struggling with PTSD, doesn't seem too concerned. "This isn't the first time. She's done it before." As days pass, Cooper begins to act out and withdraw from the world, and his growing animosity toward his father's ambivalence begins to escalate even as Percy and Cooper begin to actively search for the woman in their lives. From the hills of Southern California, to the deserts of Arizona, and down to the beaches of Mexico, the father and son will look for someone who may not want to be found for reasons they don't yet understand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities were the core of a changing economy and culture that penetrated the rural hinterland and remade the South in the decades following the Civil War. In New Men, New Cities, New South, Don Doyle argues that if the plantation was the world the slaveholders made, the urban centers of the New South formed the world made by merchants, manufacturers, and financiers. The book's title evokes the exuberant rhetoric of New South boosterism, which continually extolled the "new men" who dominated the city-building process, but Doyle also explores the key role of women in defining the urban upper class. Doyle uses four cities as case studies to represent the diversity of the region and to illuminate the responses businessmen made to the challenges and opportunities of the postbellum South. Two interior railroad centers, Atlanta and Nashville, displayed the most vibrant commercial and industrial energy of the region, and both cities fostered a dynamic class of entrepreneurs. These business leaders' collective efforts to develop their cities and to establish formal associations that served their common interests forged them into a coherent and durable urban upper class by the late nineteenth century. The rising business class also helped establish a new pattern of race relations shaped by a commitment to economic progress through the development of the South's human resources, including the black labor force. But the "new men" of the cities then used legal segregation to control competition between the races. Charleston and Mobile, old seaports that had served the antebellum plantation economy with great success, stagnated when their status as trade centers declined after the war. Although individual entrepreneurs thrived in both cities, their efforts at community enterprise were unsuccessful, and in many instances they remained outside the social elite. As a result, conservative ways became more firmly entrenched, including a system of race relations based on the antebellum combination of paternalism and neglect rather than segregation. Talent, energy, and investment capital tended to drain away to more vital cities. In many respects, as Doyle shows, the business class of the New South failed in its quest for economic development and social reform. Nevertheless, its legacy of railroads, factories, urban growth, and changes in the character of race relations shaped the world most southerners live in today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two Righteous Men - Two Wicked Cities explores in depth the fascinating Bible account of Abraham and Lot, and Sodom and Gomorrah. This true story is not only an intriguing one, but a tale replete with lessons both timely and pertinent in today’s America. Approach this volume with an open heart and mind, and you’ll gain invaluable insights desperately needed in our lives, our families, our churches, and our nation. And perhaps like Queen Esther of old, you’ll find that God has actually brought you to this time and place so that you can help make a real difference in your world! I don’t believe I’ve ever come across a single book that was as Biblically sound and culturally relevant as “Two Righteous Men — Two Wicked Cities.” This book is clearly the product of decades of Bible Study as well as depth of insight into contemporary life in America. Sam demonstrates clearly how the lives of Abraham and Lot were recorded for us as examples of the workings of God in the lives of individuals, communities and a nation. He reminds us of our Godly heritage and points clearly to the way home for America. I highly recommend this book to every student of the Bible as well as every American concerned about the future of our nation. —Reverend Bill Banuchi Sr. Executive Director New York Faith & Freedom Coalition President, Marriage & Family Savers Institute “Two Righteous Men —Two Wicked Cities” is relevant to our day and worthy of our attention and discussion. I highly recommend it. It is my prayer for the Spirit of God to use this book to help open our eyes to our desperate need for spiritual revival and to give us wisdom to know how to restore righteousness to our nation. —Scott Darling President OneMillionPraying.org, Montana State Coordinator for National Day of Prayer

Book excerpt: Winner of a Scotsman Fringe First Award 2014 Framed by two violent deaths – the apparently inexplicable suicide of a young gay man, and the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby outside the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich in May 2013 – Men in the Cities is a compelling piece about harm and complicity, and about the forces that shape our relationships. Through fractured snapshots of seemingly disconnected lives, Men in the Cities presents a challenging but radically humane portrait of how we live now.
