Book excerpt: Harlem Jones is a twenty-six year old ... who owns her own home, her own car, and her own business. And no, some drug dealer didn't front her the money for any of it. Nor did she have to sell herself to get what she's got. Harlem came up the hard way. She had the perfect family until her mother fell prey to an addiction ... under circumstance she wishes never existed, she inherits a modest fortune and opens up her own business. Then into her life comes an unexpected and unlikely love, a street-bred charmer named York. Not your typical hood, York is out for Harlem's heart ... she must be the one to decide her own destiny. -- back cover.

Book excerpt: MONEY MAY NOT BUY HAPPINESS. BUT IT CAN COME OH SO CLOSE. If you were the overwhelmingly handsome Allan Wright, money could make your grandest, wildest dreams of worldly possessions, of social prestige, of sexual pleasure, and lastly, of having an entire congregation centering around you, come true. If you were Wright's eager followers, money could draw more attention to your discouraging voices against a world that has lost its order with its explosion of minorities, gays, mixed marriages, as well as an array of other injustices. If you were the Honorable Judge Peter Nolan, money could put the world's greatest artifacts, the now illustrious Allan Wright, and even members of the world's most elite group, the FBI, into your grateful hands--making you nearly untouchable. However, if you were the immense, well-muscled Jack Parish, tipping the scales at three hundred and fifty pounds, an insane militiaman seething with racial hatred, and a devout follower of Allan Wright, money would be valueless. Preparing for a New World, setting things right, rising to the heavens--these would be things which held priority. And no police division in the city, in the state, in the world no demons in or out of Hell would stop you from your mission. One of the most chilling, thought-provoking thrillers you'll ever read--one that will stay with you for years. IF I RULED THE WORLD

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about a city’s current state versus its potential state. It examines the dynamic beginnings that gave the city an exciting promise for the future and how that promise evaporated through the 20th century. The premise is that the author falls asleep in the forward of the book and wakes up in the epilogue, only to realize that all of the grand ideas discussed in the 16 chapters to help the city reach its potential were just a dream. Find out how the development mistakes of Winnipeg parallel the lunacy of Monty Python, Get Smart and Police Squad. Even though the subject matter focuses on one city, the issues raised affect most cities to varying degrees. Any reader with an interest in urban development, design or the twilight zone should find the material relevant to their experiences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the face of the most perilous challenges of our time--climate change, terrorism, poverty, and trafficking of drugs, guns, and people--the nations of the world seem paralyzed. The problems are too big for governments to deal with. Benjamin Barber contends that cities, and the mayors who run them, can do and are doing a better job than nations. He cites the unique qualities cities worldwide share: pragmatism, civic trust, participation, indifference to borders and sovereignty, and a democratic penchant for networking, creativity, innovation, and cooperation. He demonstrates how city mayors, singly and jointly, are responding to transnational problems more effectively than nation-states mired in ideological infighting and sovereign rivalries. The book features profiles of a dozen mayors around the world, making a persuasive case that the city is democracy's best hope in a globalizing world, and that great mayors are already proving that this is so"--

Book excerpt: “Fascinating profiles” of remarkable nuns, from an eighty-three-year-old Ironman champion to a crusader against human trafficking (Daily News [New York]). “In an age of villainy, war and inequality, it makes sense that we need superheroes,” writes Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times. “And after trying Superman, Batman and Spider-Man, we may have found the best superheroes yet: Nuns.” In If Nuns Ruled the World, veteran reporter Jo Piazza overthrows the popular perception of nuns as killjoy schoolmarms, instead revealing them as the most vigorous catalysts of change in an otherwise repressive society. Meet Sister Simone Campbell, who traversed the United States challenging a Congressional budget that threatened to severely undermine the well-being of poor Americans; Sister Megan Rice, who is willing to spend the rest of her life in prison if it helps eliminate nuclear weapons; and the inimitable Sister Jeannine Gramick, who is fighting for acceptance of gays and lesbians in the Catholic Church. During a time when American nuns are often under attack from the very institution to which they devote their lives—and the values of the institution itself are hotly debated—these sisters offer thought-provoking and inspiring stories. As the Daily Beast put it, “Anybody looking to argue there is a place for Catholicism in the modern world should just stand on a street corner handing out Piazza’s book.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teach, Delight, Persuade: Scriptural Homilies for Years A, B, and C contains homilies drawn from all three reading cycles for the Sundays and solemn feasts of the liturgical year. These accessible and practical homilies are intended primarily for priests and deacons who preach at Catholic celebrations of the Eucharist. The homilies concentrate on the core message of the Old Testament reading, the psalm, the New Testament reading, and the Gospel. -The homilies are short and catechetical in approach. -Each homily covers a brief analysis of the intent of the scripture writer, the historical significance of the period, and practical application of the scripture to contemporary life. -In addition to pastors and deacons, this book is also an ideal pastoral resource for many lay ministers who make use of the Sunday readings when they teach the word of God: directors of religious education, leaders of inquiry groups (such as RCIA), scripture study group facilitators, prayer groups, and religion teachers. -The homilies are the result of 50 years of preaching and several years of research and pastoral experience. -The scriptural exegesis contained in the homilies flows from the profound scriptural insights of the last 50 years. All of these homilies reflect the social and religious concerns of the contemporary Church.
