"Stand in the door is the official wartime history of the 509th Parachute Infantry Battalion. A paratrooper is a unique soldier in the armies of the world. Tough, proud, independent, cocky, a superb fighter-- all of these mark the person who wears the parachute badge. Of all the paratroopers in the American military, none hold the record for as many firsts as those men who wore the "gingerbread man" patch and the silver badge of the 3d Zouaves on their jackets. From America's first combat parachute missions in North Africa, through Italy, the suicide jump behind enemy lines at Avellino, through the mountains of Italy, into Southern France, ending at the Bulge with only one hundred men. Stand up! Hook up! You are about to meet one of the greatest elite units in the history of American warfare"--Jacket.

This collection of writings by Harry Tiebout, one of the first psychiatrists to describe alcoholism as a disease, are seminal documents in the history, treatment, and understanding of alcoholism. One of the first psychiatrists to describe alcoholism as a disease rather than a moral failing or criminal activity, Harry M. Tiebout was also one of the first to wholeheartedly endorse Alcoholics Anonymous as an effective force in the struggle against compulsive drinking. This volume brings together, for the first time, some of Tiebout's most influential writings. Many of these pieces--from explorations of the therapeutic approach to alcoholism to instructive discussions of the act of surrender so crucial to recovery--are seminal documents in the history, treatment, and understanding of alcoholism. Together, they represent the significant contribution of one man to the countless lives shaken by alcoholism and steadied with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous, psychiatric intervention, and the foresight and commitment of doctors like Harry Tiebout.

The Pushcart Prize–winning poet’s memoir of his criminal youth and years in prison: a “brave and heartbreaking” tale of triumph over brutal adversity (The Nation). Jimmy Santiago Baca’s “astonishing narrative” of his life before, during, and immediately after the years he spent in the maximum-security prison garnered tremendous critical acclaim. An important chronicle that “affirms the triumph of the human spirit,” it went on to win the prestigious 2001 International Prize (Arizona Daily Star). Long considered one of the best poets in America today, Baca was illiterate at the age of twenty-one when he was sentenced to five years in Florence State Prison for selling drugs in Arizona. This raw, unflinching memoir is the remarkable tale of how he emerged after his years in the penitentiary—much of it spent in isolation—with the ability to read and a passion for writing poetry. “Proof there is always hope in even the most desperate lives.” —Fort Worth Star-Telegram “A hell of a book, quite literally. You won’t soon forget it.” —The San Diego U-T “This book will have a permanent place in American letters.” —Jim Harrison, New York Times–bestselling author of A Good Day to Die

A new history of school desegregation in America, revealing how girls and women led the fight for interracial education The struggle to desegregate America's schools was a grassroots movement, and young women were its vanguard. In the late 1940s, parents began to file desegregation lawsuits with their daughters, forcing Thurgood Marshall and other civil rights lawyers to take up the issue and bring it to the Supreme Court. After the Brown v. Board of Education ruling, girls far outnumbered boys in volunteering to desegregate formerly all-white schools. In A Girl Stands at the Door, historian Rachel Devlin tells the remarkable stories of these desegregation pioneers. She also explains why black girls were seen, and saw themselves, as responsible for the difficult work of reaching across the color line in public schools. Highlighting the extraordinary bravery of young black women, this bold revisionist account illuminates today's ongoing struggles for equality.

Recent gallop polls and Barna research confirm that although 86% of Americans claim to be Christian, a whopping 61% reject a literal Satan or hell. God's prodigals perish for lack of knowledge embracing only what they perceive as normal. the routine sound of their enemy's breath. From the pages of my own past springs forth a profoundly shocking and eye opening truth relevant to a multitude of prodigals; although my spirit became eternally engaged at the age of eleven, my soul had yet to receive the education so pertinent to its survival, causing a downward spiraling that nearly aborted my earthly life. To that missing remnant, I present this scroll of remembrance, present day evidence that Jesus Christ is still alive and well, faithfully keeping His covenant promises to everyone whose name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life. As a former prodigal, Merry Jo shares her insights into the desperate life and character of a prodigal and of the matchless, mysterious grace of the Father who has eternally foreknown and loved her. Her inspired messages continue to appear in anthologies, journals and military resources throughout the United States and abroad, instructing saints on their positional inheritance in Christ and warning the church of Satan's clear and present danger. This declaration of independence paves an avenue of grace destined to catapult struggling prodigals out of the house of bondage, safely into the Savior's waiting embrace. She has advocated for prodigals and their families since her miraculous deliverance and homecoming in 1983. Merry Jo is a pediatric nurse living in Asheville, North Carolina with her husband Tim and three children, Timothy, She'lah and Sariah. Breakthrough World Outreach Center is where they call home.

Though the book of Revelation has had many investigations by men of great ability, yet as I have studied, God's Spirit has opened my eyes to some truths that I have not heard or read from other expositors of this book. Inside we take some different directions supported only by that which the Bible gives. Speculation is set aside to the best of my ability, and only those conclusions that have at least some biblical support are examined. You will find personal challenges and, we hope, new directions of thought that may help clarify many questions you have from this awesome book of Revelation. May God bless you and open you to that which he desires for each of us to embrace.
