Book Description
"What I like best about Loder's prayers is that they are filled with images to send the soul soaring." --Spirituality & Health "Ted Loder is the poet of prayer. I know no one who so movingly and honestly brings us before God in prayers that touch the personal and the social dimensions of our lives. I suspect that I will pray from this book the rest of my life." --Tex Sample, Coordinator of The Network for the Study of U. S. Lifestyles, Robert B. and Kathleen Professor Emeritus of Church and Society, Saint Paul School of Theology "Does prayer have to be stilted or sentimental? Can it express real feeling without getting weepy? Ted Loder shows how prayer can escape these pitfalls and become authentic. One could well start or end each day with one of these." --Harvey Cox, Professor of Divinity, Harvard University; Author of Fire from Heaven "This is a revealing, intensely personal, and wonderful book of prayers, rich and insightful. Loder helps us to stretch our experiences, our emotions, and our imaginations just a little bit more." --Rev. William H. Gray, III, Senior Pastor, Bright Hope Baptist Church; President/CEO, United Negro College Fund "Loder is a modern-day psalmist whose prayers are disarmingly honest and refreshingly real. His message: in all of life's beauty and brokenness love is the struggle that tutors the soul." --Julie Neraas, Presbyterian minister, Spiritual Director, and Faculty Member, Hamline University, St. Paul, Minnesota "Loder offers thoughtful and well-crafted prayers that are written in the familiar cadence of everyday language but leavened with echoes of the inspired awe, wonder, and praise of the ancient Scriptures." --Dr. Bob Edgar, General Secretary, National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA; former Congressman from Pennsylvania "Ted Loder is a master pastor. In these prayers we see a pastor bringing his people before the throne of God. Good reading. Good praying." --Dr. William H. Willimon, Dean of the Chapel and Professor of Christian Ministry, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina

Book Description
For four and a half years, Pamela Constable, a veteran foreign correspondent and award-winning author, has traveled through South Asia on assignment for the Washington Post. Following religious conflicts, political crises, and natural disasters, she also searched for signs of humanity and dignity in societies rife with violence, poverty, prejudice, and greed. In Afghanistan, she made numerous visits while the country suffered under the hostile rule of the Taliban, attempted to reach the capital in a convoy that was ambushed and saw four journalists killed. She finally moved to Kabul in late 2001 to chronicle the country's post-Taliban rebirth. In Pakistan, she covered a military coup in 1999, immersed herself in the mys-terious world of Muslim mosques and academies, and discovered both the extremist and tolerant faces of Islam. In India, she attended one of the largest spiritual gatherings of Hindu pilgrims in history and then rushed to the horrific aftermath of a devastating earthquake. She repeatedly visited the Kashmir Valley, where Pakistani-backed Muslim guerrillas are waging a seemingly endless war with Indian security forces. In Nepal, she covered the crown prince's massacre of the royal family and journeyed to remote villages where communist rebels brought rigid moral order to life. In Sri Lanka, she explored a tropical paradise where reclusive insurgents trained children to become suicide bombers in pursuit of a utopian ethnic homeland. Between extended sojourns in South Asia, Constable returned to the West to reflect on the risks and rewards of her profession, revisit her roots, and compare her experiences with Islam, Hinduism, and Christianity. Her book is a uniquely personal exploration of the rich but solitary life of a foreign correspondent, set against a regional backdrop of extraordinary political and religious tumult.

Book Description
Although the Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) Indians gave instrumental help to Lewis and Clark on their famous expedition, they were rewarded by decades of invasive treaties and encroachment upon their homeland. In June 1877, the Nez Perce struck back andøwere soon swept into one of the most devastating Indian wars in American history. The conflict culminated in an epic twelve-hundred-mile chase as the U.S. Army pursued some eight hundred Nez Perce men, women, and children, who tried to fight their way to freedom in Canada. In this enthralling account of the Nez Perce War, Bruce Hampton brings to life unforgettable characters from both sides of the conflict?warriors and women, common soldiers and celebrated generals. Looking Glass, White Bird, the legendary Chief Joseph, and fewer than three hundred warriors waged a bloody guerilla war against a modernized American army commanded by such famous generals as William Tecumseh Sherman, Nelson Miles, Oliver Otis Howard, and Philip Sheridan. Hampton also gives voice to the Native Americans from other tribes who helped the U.S. Army block the escape of the Nez Perce to Canada.

Book Description
His name is Touré--just Touré--and like many of the musicians, athletes, and celebrities he's profiled, he has affected the way that we think about culture in America. He has profiled Eminem, 50 Cent, and Alicia Keys for the cover of Rolling Stone. He's played high-stakes poker with Jay-Z and basketball with Prince and Wynton Marsalis. In Touré's world, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. sits beside Condoleezza Rice who sits beside hip-hop pioneer Tupac Shakur, and all of them are fascinating company. Never Drank the Kool-Aid is the chronicle of Touré's unparalleled journey through the American funhouse called pop culture. Its rooms are filled with creative, arrogant, kind, ordinary, and extraordinary people, most of whom happen to be famous. It is Touré's gift to be able to see through the artifice of their world and understand the genuine motivations behind their achievements--to see who they truly are as people. This is a searingly funny, surprisingly unguarded, and deeply insightful look at a world few of us comprehend.
