Too secular for church, too much Holy Spirit for polite conversation.If they'd lived in our times, the rich young man in the Bible and Mary Magdalene might have gone to high school together. *****At a flea market one Saturday morning, Thomas Strongtree, a retired woodworker, buys a pack of police-arrest fingerprint cards and mug shots for teenagers detained during the 1970s, '80s, and '90s. As a man who always followed the rules and now battles creeping regret in his later years, Strongtree wonders how their lives may have differed from his own. The "youthful offenders" would now be adults, and he wants to meet them. A lawyer warns Strongtree the project could be dangerous. "If one of those guys turns out to be a judge or a minister, you'd be looking at a world of hurt for the rest of your life." Strongtree does it anyway, and as he talks to the young people, now adults, he hears life stories that echo and expand upon the great parables of the Bible. When his activities threaten to drop him into a legal hornet's nest, he uses knowledge gleaned from a wise police patrolman who resembles the Bible's rich young man and touched all of the young people's lives.From a meeting with a school superintendent in New Jersey to an unforgettable conversation one afternoon and evening on Lake Chautauqua to an encounter with an eighty-one-year-old woman aerospace engineer, this book will leave readers reflecting on their own struggles, triumphs, regrets, and joys as they journey alongside Strongtree on his exceptional quest.

Among the most fascinating figures from America's past are the men and women who performed some singular feat that's been completely overlooked or that gets only a bare mention in the history books of today. American Trailblazers celebrates a few of these remarkable people, all of whom left an enduring imprint on their time through their milestone innovations or inspirational accomplishments. The book's thirty-two chapters are divided into two groups representing the fields in which the characters excelled-Culture and Society or Science and Industry. The subjects come from every period in our nation's history and all walks of life-from humanitarians, adventurers, and entertainers to political figures, inventors, and entrepreneurs. They range from fearless Quaker housewife Mary Dyer, who was hanged in Massachusetts in 1660 while fighting for religious freedom, to H. Edward Roberts, the father of the personal computer, a maverick who sold his successful electronics company to study medicine and become a Georgia country doctor. From the pregnant nineteen-year-old heroine who took command of a clipper ship in distress in the dangerous waters off Cape Horn to the scientist who invented modern forensic toxicology, these rare individualists fix themselves firmly in our imagination with their mesmerizing stories.

Secret Heroes is a remarkable compendium by Paul Martin, former Executive Editor of National Geographic Traveler, that illuminates the lives of thirty forgotten American heroes. Gathering together remarkable stories about unknown champions, explorers, inventors, and innovators who never made the pages of American history textbooks--not George Washington, but the tailor who saved his life...twice; the first African-American combat pilot; the 62-year-old female muckraking journalist who refused to turn her back on injustice--Secret Heroes is just the sort of fascinating and fun popular history that readers love, not unlike Kenneth C. Davis's bestselling Don't Know Much About(R) series and Rick Beyer's The Greatest Stories Never Told.

In The Healing Mind, Dr. Paul Martin, a renowned professor behavioral biology, asserts that Wolfe's words are closer to the truth than we might imagine. Long the stuff of poetry and folklore, there is increasing scientific evidence that the brain and the immune system are inextricably linked. Dr. Martin illustrates with remarkable clarity that biological and psychological links that do indeed exist between mind and body--links that have in intricately constructed by evolution over the millennia, links that, when frayed or severed, are the root cause of more problems that you might imagine.Drawing together the latest biological and medical findings, The Healing Mind explains how we can at last reconcile many commonplace notions about "psychosomatic" illness and stress with a modern scientific understanding of how the mind and body affect each other. Martin makes impressive use of literary references to illustrate the degree to which we commonly (and accurately) observe the link between health and psyche. Here, presented in a fascinating and uniquely accessible manner, are the latest scientific solutions to some ancient puzzles concerning the relationship between brain, behavior, immunity, and disease.
