Atlantic Fever

Lindbergh, His Competitors, and the Race to Cross the Atlantic

By: Joe Jackson

For five weeks—from April 14 to May 21, 1927—the world held its breath while fourteen aviators took to the air to capture the $25,000 prize that Raymond Orteig offered to the first man to cross the Atlantic Ocean without stopping. Joe Jackson's Atlantic Fever is about this race, a milestone in American history whose story has never been fully told. Delving into the lives of the big-name competitors—the polar explorer Richard Byrd, the French war hero René Fonck, the millionaire Charles Levine, and the race's eventual winner, the enigmatic Charles Lindbergh—as well as those whose names have been forgotten by history (such as Bernt Balchen, Stanton Wooster, and Clarence Chamberlin), Jackson brings a completely fresh and original perspective to the race to conquer the Atlantic. Atlantic Fever opens for us one of those magical windows onto a moment when the nexus of technology, innovation, character, and spirit led so many contenders from different parts of the world to be on the cusp of the exact same achievement at the exact same time.

Big Things Start Small

How Small Groups Helped Ignite Christianity’s Greatest Spiritual Awakenings

By: Joe M. Easterling

History indicates that small group gatherings have been powerfully influential in igniting Christianity's most famous spiritual awakenings. In this groundbreaking study, Joe M. Easterling explores Christianity's four most significant awakenings and how small groups have influenced the rise and sustainability of each. As readers encounter the incredible accounts of how God transformed individuals, communities, and even nations through the movement of his Spirit, they will discover that small groups have been there all along as one of revival's most indispensable contributors. More importantly, readers will learn some common characteristics of the small groups during these awakenings and how they may be used in small groups of churches today in hopes that a spiritual awakening may ignite once again.

Revolutionary Staten Island

From Colonial Calamities to Reluctant Rebels

By: Joe Borelli

The history of Staten Island from early settlements to revolutionary battleground is explored in this local history. The shores of Staten Island were one of the first places Giovanni da Verrazzano and Henry Hudson landed in North America, and they became a safe harbor for thousands of refugees fleeing religious conflicts in Europe. As Dutch Staaten Eylandt and then English Richmond County, the island played a vital role in colonial development of the continent and the American Revolution. Rebel raids along the kills and inlets kept British forces and local Tories constantly battling for position, while Hessian and British troops occupied the island longer than any other county during the war. Staten Island’s strategic location was used to launch counterstrikes against Washington’s forces in New Jersey, while Major General John Sullivan led Continental army troops in defeat at the Battle of Staten Island. Author Joe Borelli reveals the colonial history of Richmond County and its role in the fight for American independence.

This interesting volume brings together a varied group of great theologians whose ideas have shaped and enriched the life and witness of the church. Dr. Thomas provides a readable exposition of their theological ideas by keeping an extraordinary practicality. I recommend this work for both clergy and laity."--The Right Reverend Dr. Bill Atwood, Bishop, International Diocese, Anglican Church in North America "The range of doctrines Dr. Thomas deals with is important to all students of theology in their own intellectual preparation at seminaries. I concur with the author that theological task as primary concern of the church is extremely important to strengthen its spiritual vision in an increasingly secular society. I welcome this book."--Xavier Lakshmanan, PhD, Head of the Department of Theology & Ministry, Tabor College, NSW, Australia"Dr. Thomas has been a contributor to our journal, Mission Today. As its editor, I have always welcomed his theological writings. His capacity for reflecting creatively on theological issues that matter today is commendable. His scholarly contributions have enriched our journal. I support this new book."--Fr. Dr. Paul Vadakumpadan, SDB, Professor, Systematic Theology, Sacred Heard College, Shilong, India "In this collection of thoughtful, well-informed essays, Joe Thomas draws valuable insights from the work of a pleasingly broad range of well-known theologians. I recommend these very readable reflections to seminary students, and to anyone else interested in exploring theological responses to issues confronting the Church in the modern world." --Patricia Harrison, PhD, MDiv, ThM, MA, MSt, MEd St, Theological Educator, and Member Australian College of Educators

Welfare, Deservingness and the Logic of Poverty

Who Deserves?

By: Joe Whelan

Who deserves to get what and what should they have to do in order to get it? These are questions that societies have grappled with since antiquity, and they continue to echo today. This book explores questions of social deservingness by tracking how it has been treated across the centuries, from ancient Greece to the present day, taking in many notable thinkers along the way. In doing so, it focuses, in particular, on what different thinkers have had to say on and about poor relief and social welfare. Modern welfare systems are also examined to show how particular logics of poverty, while they may be ancient in origin, continue to inform our notions of who deserves to get what today. This book will be of interest to those studying or working in the areas of social welfare, social policy and sociology.

Man of the World

The Further Endeavors of Bill Clinton

By: Joe Conason

“A rich, believable portrait of a master politician out of office: needy, rivalrous, thin-skinned, proud, hot-tempered.” —The New York Review of Books Updated in 2017 and hailed as, “engrossing…detailed and intimate” (Publishers Weekly), veteran political journalist Joe Conason’s Man of the World brings you along with Bill Clinton, as the forty-second president blazes new paths in his post-presidential career. It is unlike the second career of any other president: “Bill Clinton” is a global brand, rising from the dark days of his White House departure to become one of the most popular names in the world. In his “deeply researched” (The New York Times Book Review) Man of the World, Joe Conason describes how that happened, examining Clinton’s achievements, his failures, his motivations, and his civilian life. He explains why Clinton’s ambitions for the world continue to inspire (and infuriate). Conason, who has covered Clinton for twenty years, interviewed him many times for this book—as well as Hillary and Chelsea and many of his friends, aides, rivals, and supporters. He has travelled with Clinton to Africa, Haiti, Israel, and across America. Conason’s “often absorbing chronicle captures the energy and charisma of the former president as he…finds a mission in his philanthropic work in Africa, Asia, and elsewhere” (Kirkus Reviews). Man of the World—starring the one and only Bill Clinton—tells the engrossing story of an extraordinary man who is still seeking to do good in the world.
