By the time he was twenty-two, Dan Eldon had led a relief mission across Africa; worked as a graphic designer in New York; studied (intermittently) at four colleges; travelled through Europe, Africa, Japan, and the United States; founded a charity for Mozambiquan refugees; directed a film; written a book; started up his own photography business; and become a photojournalist for Reuters news agency, covering the famine and civil war in Somalia. There, in 1993, he was killed in an eruption of mob violence while on assignment. In a world of rules and regularity, Eldon was a renegade, a risk-taker, and an adventurer. His is no ordinary journal; it is an astonishing collage of photos, drawings, words, maps, and clippings that reveals his strange and vivid life. The Journey is the Destination is at once the vision of an artist in his prime and the unrestrained outpourings of a young man just beginning to live.

You keep showing me all this stuff, you keep getting my hopes up, I shout and fall out but then I run into consecutive brick walls. Why must you insist on playing in my face fam? You keep telling me to do all of this stuff, that I didn’t sign up for and with little resources; do you not see my present state? Oh right, you don’t care about that huh? THIS IS FRUSTRATING!” In the height of my frustration concerning what God was showing me about my future, he instructs me to buy a complex puzzle, A whole puzzle. I HATE PUZZLES! But in spite of the randomness and the many doubts running through my mind, I obeyed. As I worked on the puzzle God, literally, began giving me practical answers to all of my questions birthed out of frustration and revealed to me the “Why”. I was trying to fulfill destiny, in full picture, which is why I was frustrated most of the time. I kept looking at my now but God was in the future, while still very present with me, showing me that Destiny is fulfilled in the working of the pieces that result in a full picture. If you are one of destiny and you are honest enough in your relationship with God to say “Hey, you know God, this actually sucks”. This is the book for you, seriously. DESTINY IN PIECES is a practical, real, and humorous commingling of personal stories and testimonies equally yoked with Biblical principles that will provide context and language for what you’re really feeling as a Destiny Walker. It is literally the GPS that rerouted the vehicle of my thoughts and feelings while sojourning the convoluted path to becoming who God called me to be. It won’t reduce God’s timing or alter his plan for you but you will learn to enjoy the ride!

“[An] unforgettable memoir” (Boston Globe) that provides a window into the wildly divergent nations that once comprised the Soviet Union, from a former NPR reporter Not with a bang, but with a quiet, ten-minute address on Christmas Day, 1991: this is how the Soviet Union met its end. But in the wake of that one deceptively calm moment, conflict and violence soon followed. Some of the emergent new countries began to shed totalitarianism while other sought to revive their own dead empires or were led by ex-Soviet leaders who built equally or even more repressive political machines. Since the late 1980s, Lawrence Scott Sheets lived and reported from the former USSR and saw firsthand the reverberations of the empire’s collapse, through the rise of Vladimir Putin in the new Russia. Eight Pieces of Empire draws readers into the people, politics and day-to-day life, painting a vivid portrait of a tumultuous time. Sheets’ stories about people living through these tectonic shifts of fortune—a trio of female saboteurs in Chechnya, the chaos of newly independent Georgia in the early 1990s, a defiant resident of the Chernobyl exclusion zone in Ukraine, young hustlers eager to strike it rich in the post-Soviet economic vacuum—reveal the underreported and surprising ways in which the ghosts of empire still haunt these lands and the world.
