Enduring Friendship

Sticking Together in an Age of Unfriending

By: Bryan C. Loritts

Friendships are difficult. When conflicts and differences over serious issues divide us, it's easy to give up on people and just walk away. Bryan Loritts mines the book of Philemon for insights into how, with God's work and steadfast love, even the most painful relationships that have ruptured can be transformed into friendships that endure.

Midnight Assassin

A Murder in America's Heartland

By: Patricia L. Bryan,Thomas Wolf

On the night of December 1,1900, Iowa farmer John Hossack was attacked and killed while he slept at home beside his wife, Margaret. On April 11, 1901, after five days of testimony before an all-male jury, Margaret Hossack was found guilty of his murder and sentenced to life in prison. One year later, she was released on bail to await a retrial; jurors at this second trial could not reach a decision, and she was freed. She died August 25, 1916, leaving the mystery of her husband's death unsolved. The Hossack tragedy is a compelling one and the issues surrounding their domestic problems are still relevant today, Margaret's composure and stoicism, developed during years of spousal abuse, were seen as evidence of unfeminine behavior, while John Hossack--known to be a cruel and dangerous man--was hailed as a respectable husband and father. Midnight Assassin also introduces us to Susan Glaspell, a journalist who reported on the Hossack murder for the Des Moines Daily, who used these events as the basis for her classic short story, " A Jury of Her Peers", and the famous play Trifles. Based on almost a decade of research, Midnight Assassin is a riveting story of loneliness, fear, and suffering in the rural Midwest.

Just Mercy (Adapted for Young Adults)

A True Story of the Fight for Justice

By: Bryan Stevenson

Bryan Stevenson's incredible fight to end mass incarceration, excessive punishment, and racial inequality comes to life in this young adult adaptation of the acclaimed, #1 New York Times bestseller that was adapted into a major motion picture starring Michael B. Jordan, Jaime Foxx, and Brie Larson. In this very personal work--adapted from the original #1 bestseller, which the New York Times calls "as compelling as To Kill a Mockingbird, and in some ways more so"--renowned lawyer and social justice advocate Bryan Stevenson offers a glimpse into the lives of the wrongfully imprisoned and his efforts to fight for their freedom as the founder of the Equal Justice Initiative. Stevenson's story is one of working to protect basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society--the poor, the wrongly convicted, and those whose lives have been marked by discrimination and marginalization. Through this adaptation, young people of today will find themselves called to action and compassion in the pursuit of justice. A portion of the proceeds of this book will go to charity to help in Stevenson's important work to benefit the voiceless and the vulnerable as they attempt to navigate the broken U.S. justice system.

The Jellie Chronicles Volume III

By: Bryan Misuraca

Volume three of the Pequad’s odyssey takes the ship’s crew and its captain, “Fearless” Ron Wilson, through the South Pacific. No one is safe, as the Pequad battles through the South Sea Islands, dodging assassins and fighting mercenaries, a mission complicated by the battle going on in Ron’s mind. When he temporarily loses control of himself, the captain must discover what’s wrong, because not knowing is driving him crazy. Is he possessed by a demon, or does he have brain damage? He decides he needs help, from a specialist. “I actually thought the kid could help. What a dope, at least I can chalk this one up as another Captain Crazy episode,” Ron told Tracy. “What a waste, having your own witch doctor might of gave you some standing on these islands,” Tracy commented. “Even one that just wants to sit on his couch and play video games?” Ron asked. “Jane was right, they sure don’t make witch doctors like they used to,” he heard from the captain. “If they did, he probably wouldn’t of been so easy to snatch off that island,” Ron added. Demon or not, there are battles to be fought and monsters to be hunted. A small island in the Pacific is being terrorized by an unknown creature off its shores. When divers start disappearing, a call is sent out to the Son of the Monster Hunter. A call that turns their island into a battleground when a shady businessman sends his henchmen to take out the captain. When the crooked billionaire targets Ron’s pod, Ron counterattacks where it hurts most, in the pocketbook. This escalates the feud and ends in a no-holds barred battle for Jellie Island.

Boarding and Australia's First Peoples

Understanding How Residential Schooling Shapes Lives

By: Marnie O’Bryan

This book takes us inside the complex lived experience of being a First Nations student in predominantly non-Indigenous schools in Australia. Built around the first-hand narratives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander alumni from across the nation, scholarly analysis is layered with personal accounts and reflections. The result is a wide ranging and longitudinal exploration of the enduring impact of years spent boarding which challenges narrow and exclusively empirical measures currently used to define ‘success’ in education. Used as instruments of repression and assimilation, boarding, or residential, schools have played a long and contentious role throughout the settler-colonial world. In Canada and North America, the full scale of human tragedy associated with residential schools is still being exposed. By contrast, in contemporary Australia, boarding schools are characterised as beacons of opportunity and hope; places of empowerment and, in the best, of cultural restitution. In this work, young people interviewed over a span of seven years reflect, in real time, on the intended and unintended consequences boarding has had in their own lives. They relate expected and dramatically unexpected outcomes. They speak to the long-term benefits of education, and to the intergenerational reach of education policy. This book assists practitioners and policy makers to critically review the structures, policies, and cultural assumptions embedded in the institutions in which they work, to the benefit of First Nations students and their families. It encourages new and collaborative approaches Indigenous education programs.

Forgiveness and Justice

A Christian Approach

By: Bryan Maier

Bringing practicality back to the work of forgiveness for counselors and pastors Much work in both academic and clinical counseling has focused on forgiveness and what, precisely, it means. We now know forgiveness offers both physical and psychological benefits. Yet despite all this exploration, most Christians are far from having a clear, consistent, theologically informed definition. Bryan Maier wants this conceptual ambiguity to end, especially for the pastor or counselor sitting across from a hurting person seeking immediate, practical help. The Christian counselor needs to be able to walk the client through the question, "Can forgiveness coexist with justice?" To this end, Maier examines current popular models of forgiveness, considering where they merge and diverge, and what merits each type of forgiveness has. He then delves directly into Scripture to discover the original model of God's forgiveness to humankind. From there, he builds a new construct of human forgiveness with practical guidance to help those in counseling understand the concept theologically. In doing so, he demonstrates that our understanding that forgiveness leads to healing is inverted; being whole leads to true forgiveness, not the other way around. Forgiveness and Justice is extremely useful for any practitioner needing to form a useful, theologically sound understanding of forgiveness for those who come for help.

The Untrue Story of You

How to Let Go of the Past that Creates You, and Become Fully Alive in the Present

By: Bryan Hubbard

In The Untrue Story of You, Bryan Hubbard presents a powerful, groundbreaking theory explaining who we really are, how our relationship to our past affects us and how we can finally find true healing. In the pages of this book, you will discover that 'you' are actually made up of Three Selves, or time-bodies – past, present and potential - and that these three distinct entities send out energetic pulses, or waves, that interact to create your experience of life. As you move through life, experiences you never fully understood from your past begin to weigh you down, causing you to respond in the present with anxiety and fear without knowing why. As this pattern repeats itself, it can drag you into depression or addictive behaviours that are seemingly out of your control. Sharing his own moving story of overcoming the painful experiences of his childhood, Bryan teaches you how to heal the negative patterns you have created in your life, and, through a 21-day programme, become the real 'you' – the child you once were who could see the world as it really is, an unfolding miracle in the present moment.

Nonetheless, God Retrieves Us

Nonetheless, God Retrieves Us

What a Yellow Lab Taught Me About Retrieval Spirituality

By: Jonathan Bryan

With refreshing humor, a conversational style, and a blending of conventional and original thought, author Jonathan Bryan observes that we alienate ourselves from God and one another; nonetheless, God retrieves us. In exploring this paradox, Bryan examines several quandaries of religion such as the meanings of "God," where we came from, why things go wrong, how to find an overarching meaning of the Bible, the policies of the biblical God, what happens next, and what to do about all this. The answers, both challenging and interesting, lead to what Bryan calls a "retrieval spirituality." Bryan's whimsical observations of his Labrador retriever, Jocko, provide analogies for explaining that just as Jocko retrieves sticks, so does God retrieve us, invite us to return to God. And just like Jocko, God remains faithful to us through thick and thin. It's a perfect book for those whose hearts yearn for a richer spiritual life, for groups discussing God, the Bible, and spirituality, and for anyone exasperated with ordinary religious writings.

No Turning Back

One Man's Inspiring True Story of Courage, Determination, and Hope

By: Bryan Anderson,David Mack

An exceptional memoir about one man's truly inspirational outlook on living, no matter the odds. Before you dig into this book, there are a few things I think you should know. First, I was a soldier, and I still talk like one-in other words, I swear. So, if bad words bother you, just squint and pretend you don't see them. I want you to know this book is not about the war in Iraq, and I'm not pushing a political agenda. Even though I'm going to tell you about the day I was wounded and what I went through during rehab, this book's not just some war memoir or a pity party. I just want to share some of my stories with you. This book is not about being wounded. It's not about struggling. This book is about living. It's about life. In this inspiring memoir, Bryan shares his infectious love for life that touches anyone who's faced hardship. No Turning Back is a testament to pure hard work, perseverance, and hope for a better life- no matter what shape it takes.

Iran

Sanctions, Energy, Arms Control, and Regime Change

By: Anthony H. Cordesman,Bryan Gold,Chloe Coughlin-Schulte

This report analyzes four key aspects of US and Iranian strategic competition--sanctions, energy, arms control, and regime change. Its primary focus is on the ways in which the sanctions applied to Iran have changed US and Iranian competition since the fall of 2011. This escalation has been spurred by the creation of a series of far stronger US unilateral sanctions and the European Union’s imposition of equally strong sanctions, both of which affect Iran’s ability to export, its financial system, and its overall economy.

The Last Flight of the Archaeopteryx

By: Bryan Spykerman

Whether the Archaeopteryx was the first bird or a somewhat clumsy airborne dinosaur is still uncertain. But Rachel's Archaeopteryx---the name given her airplane by twelve-year-old daughter, Cathy---may face extinction as she flies to remote airports making pickups for Utah's largest bank. Ever trusting and optimistic, Rachel overlooks the obvious: she is being stalked. So why would she think the disappearance of an acquaintance has anything to do with her? The bullet hole in the wing of her airplane catches her attention. But wasn't that just a potshot from a drunken hunter? Rachel wants to put these distractions behind her. She has more important things on her mind, like keeping pace with her increasingly independent daughter and her growing friendship with the beautiful and athletic, Sherry Sanchez. No time for unpleasant thoughts until her lofty view of the world snares her in a complex--and dangerous--web.

Days of Rage

America's Radical Underground, the FBI, and the Forgotten Age of Revolutionary Violence

By: Bryan Burrough

From the bestselling author of Public Enemies and The Big Rich, an explosive account of the decade-long battle between the FBI and the homegrown revolutionary movements of the 1970s The Weathermen. The Symbionese Liberation Army. The FALN. The Black Liberation Army. The names seem quaint now, when not forgotten altogether. But there was a stretch of time in America, during the 1970s, when bombings by domestic underground groups were a daily occurrence. The FBI combated these groups and others as nodes in a single revolutionary underground, dedicated to the violent overthrow of the American government. The FBI’s response to the leftist revolutionary counterculture has not been treated kindly by history, and in hindsight many of its efforts seem almost comically ineffectual, if not criminal in themselves. But part of the extraordinary accomplishment of Bryan Burrough’s Days of Rage is to temper those easy judgments with an understanding of just how deranged these times were, how charged with menace. Burrough re-creates an atmosphere that seems almost unbelievable just forty years later, conjuring a time of native-born radicals, most of them “nice middle-class kids,” smuggling bombs into skyscrapers and detonating them inside the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol, at a Boston courthouse and a Wall Street restaurant packed with lunchtime diners—radicals robbing dozens of banks and assassinating policemen in New York, San Francisco, Atlanta. The FBI, encouraged to do everything possible to undermine the radical underground, itself broke many laws in its attempts to bring the revolutionaries to justice—often with disastrous consequences. Benefiting from the extraordinary number of people from the underground and the FBI who speak about their experiences for the first time, Days of Rage is filled with revelations and fresh details about the major revolutionaries and their connections and about the FBI and its desperate efforts to make the bombings stop. The result is a mesmerizing book that takes us into the hearts and minds of homegrown terrorists and federal agents alike and weaves their stories into a spellbinding secret history of the 1970s.

The Big Rich

The Rise and Fall of the Greatest Texas Oil Fortunes

By: Bryan Burrough

“Full of schadenfreude and speculation—and solid, timely history too.” —Kirkus Reviews “This is a portrait of capitalism as white-knuckle risk taking, yielding fruitful discoveries for the fathers, but only sterile speculation for the sons—a story that resonates with today's economic upheaval.” —Publishers Weekly “What's not to enjoy about a book full of monstrous egos, unimaginable sums of money, and the punishment of greed and shortsightedness?” —The Economist Phenomenal reviews and sales greeted the hardcover publication of The Big Rich, New York Times bestselling author Bryan Burrough's spellbinding chronicle of Texas oil. Weaving together the multigenerational sagas of the industry's four wealthiest families, Burrough brings to life the men known in their day as the Big Four: Roy Cullen, H. L. Hunt, Clint Murchison, and Sid Richardson, all swaggering Texas oil tycoons who owned sprawling ranches and mingled with presidents and Hollywood stars. Seamlessly charting their collective rise and fall, The Big Rich is a hugely entertaining account that only a writer with Burrough's abilities-and Texas upbringing-could have written.

Keep Telling YOUrself That

By: Bryan "Nappy" Vereen

YOU can do and be ANYTHING!!!!! EVERYONE needs motivation and inspiration, which can be found and seen in any and EVERYTHING. Also, there is never a wrong time or setting to be motivated—whether YOU’RE told YOU have cancer, YOU’RE at a funeral, seeing the birth of YOUR child, being told YOU won’t amount to shit in YOUR life, seeing the living situation YOU are in, etc. Time in this life WE live is all that WE have, so why not do all YOU can at YOUR very best to live a happy, peaceful, and best life? It’s common sense that lots of people have fears and insecurities, and some of US lack motivation, but YOU have got to find it somewhere. So here YOU go! This book is a gift. The best people to talk to are the ones that can relate to YOU or have made so many mistakes and bad decisions that it made THEM become so wise that THEY can give some of the best motivational advice that could help others. YOUR life is truly up to the way YOU interpret, view it, and create it. Think about it, each second is a set up for each minute, each minute leads to the hours in YOUR day, and the hours lead to the set up for YOUR days. Think before YOU react and also embrace and cherish YOUR disappointments just as much as YOU do YOUR accomplishments. Lessons are learned, and growth makes YOU stronger and better. Adversity and being YOUR biggest motivator are strong enough to push mountains and billions of people. Even when YOU feel like EVERYTHING is against YOU, YOU have got to know that if YOU give up, that leaves no chance of doing or seeing better. But by continuously striving for YOUR fulfillment, YOU are getting closer to where YOU need to be and also learning more about YOURSELF along the path that YOU thought was “perfectly planned” with a perfect straight line from point A to point B. Naw always keep a plan A, but also keep in mind there are going to be so many points YOU have to reach before YOU get to YOUR desired destination. YOU are going to be EVERYTHING YOU have ever talked about, but guess what?!?!? YOU have got to “KEEP TELLING YOURSELF THAT!” Bryan “Nappy” Vereen a.k.a. Topick

Pick Up Hockey

Pick Up Hockey

By: Bryan Patterson

This book is dedicated to all who play pickup hockey and, who given enough time, energy and help, could easily write a book like this one. As you read this collection of pickup hockey memories, anecdotes and insights, you may think, "been there, done that." Our experiences are almost national if not universal. A pickup hockey team is not part of an organized league, there are no referees, no stats are kept and there is no score keeper. Most pickup teams are organized by a small group of guys for the love of the game. They will gather enough players, usually 20 skaters and 2 goaltenders, by invitation, so that the group is closed and they own the ice-time. Some rinks offer off-peak hours for 'shinny', a kind of pickup hockey that is open to all comers. Pick Up Hockey presents experiences in the arena, suggests how to pick, teams, how to play with few players, how to know when to quit playing with the younger group, acknowledges that the end will come and much more. Bryan Patterson is a practicing nuclear power engineer who finds the time to play pick up hockey three times a week. He had lots of help with ideas for this book from his hockey playing buddies.

Black Boy O'Connor

Black Boy O'Connor

By: Bryan O'Connor

This is a story of a young black boy with an unmistakable Irish surname, who takes you on a journey of the first half of his life, living and growing up in a totally white middle-class neighbourhood. When he starts school, he finds he is still the only black face; this doesn't change throughout all of his school years. The story passes from early years to teenage years, and into young adult life. The story begins with his earliest childhood memory as a three-year-old. Then it goes on to describe why his dad is his first hero, for whom this book was written. Still in short trousers, he goes on a trip overseas and talks of the place his parents call 'home', a thousand miles away from the place where he was born in Dulwich, London, England. The black boy is determined to have fun. He is preoccupied, like any other boy approaching teenage years, with music, cars, and girls. This is all that is important and his priority. That same boy is now reaching manhood, he is still having fun, but has strengthened those teenage priorities of music, cars, and girls. He is a young man, working for a living now and paying his own way. His philosophy has not changed: more music, faster cars, and older women.
