The Vietnam War is largely recalled as a mistake, either in the decision to engage there or in the nature of the engagement. Or both. Veterans of the war remain largely anonymous figures, accomplices in the mistake. Critically recounting the steps that led to the war, this book does not excuse the mistakes, but it brings those who served out of the shadows. Enduring Vietnam recounts the experiences of the young Americans who fought in Vietnam and of families who grieved those who did not return.

There's an old clip of Bugs Bunny sawing the entire state of Florida off the continent - and every single time a news story springs up about some shenanigans in Florida, someone on the internet posts it in response. Why are we so ready to wave goodbye to the Sunshine State? In A Florida State of Mind: An Unnatural History of Our Weirdest State, James D. Wright makes the case that there are plenty of reasons to be scandalized by the land and its sometimes-kooky, sometimes-terrifying denizens, but there's also plenty of room for hilarity.

Summarizing an honest reading of the Qur'an, James Wright tackles fifteen of the most commonly asked questions Muslims present Christians. 1. How can Isa be the Son of Allah? 2. How can Allah condescend to take on human form? 3. Have the Tawrat, Zabur and Injil been corrupted and changed so that we do not have the original Holy Book? 4. If Christians do not believe the Qur’an how can they quote it? 5. Do Christians worship three gods (Allah, Isa & Miriam)? 6. Does eating pork and drinking wine make Christians unclean? 7. How can one man (al-Mesih Isa) die on the cross for all the sinners ...

A HOLIDAY STORY We’d put out a nice book: Alternative Holidays. It had a fancy cover. The stories a perfect fit. So I was sitting there. Basking in success. And a story skitters across the floor. And then another, and another... And then, a slight sobbing sound. Then there came a most tremulous voice. “We want a book cover too.” I reached down and picked up one of the stories. It settled in and started to purr. Then I picked up another, and another. They were so good. It was like the Island of Misfit Toys. Perfectly good stories that just had trouble fitting in. So I gave them a cover...

Why would a Christian read the Qur’an? To criticize it? To convert to Islam? Many of my Muslim friends want me to read it because they believe the Qur'an is the most important book in the world. I don’t want to criticize the Qur’an. My purpose is to invite others on a quest for truth and respect. Far too often Muslims and Christians live in parallel universes. Reading the Qur’an can help build bridges of respect between one other. The Qur’an says “do not argue with the People of the Book except in the best way” (Surah 29:46 Al-Ankabut). "This can also be very readable to ...

The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1990 gave God's people an historic moment to reach Central Asian Muslims with the Gospel of Jesus the Messiah. Joining others from around the world, James Wright and his family responded to the opportunity and moved into rural Kazakhstan, a mysterious and boundless land where Silk Road caravans once traversed and immense herds of sheep grazed under the watchful eye of their Kazakh shepherds. Fields of Gold tells the story of the remarkable beginnings of the Kazakh church in southern Kazakhstan. Working to introduce the good news of the Messiah Jesus in ...

Emmanuel Ortiz holds an ancient and dark secret... His real name is Judas Iscariot. Forced to walk the earth as a cursed immortal, Judas’ disguised as Emmanuel does little to ease his eternal loneliness. Having recovered nine of his thirty blood coins, his focus is not yet on redemption for his treacherous role in the betrayal of Jesus Christ. Distractions come easily for the wealthy entrepreneur and occasional sleuth who presently resides in England, 1888. Fascinated by the spate of murders in London’s poverty-stricken Whitechapel, Emmanuel soon realizes the killings resemble others he...

As soon as he had the woman up and moving, he followed suit. He planted his hand on the railing, braced himself, then jumped up, twisting as he did so, landing on his backside on the metal railing, feet facing up toward the second floor. A spiral of lethal silk splattered on the steps and sparked in the exact spot he vacated a second ago.

I’m coming for you is a bad movie line. For Death it is a promise. We tend to like to avoid the concept of death, but it keeps finding us. So we put together a book. But what to call it. We were sick of death coming in and taking friends and family, giving no regard for us except to leer from the darkness. The answer came, in a callout to Steven Colbert: we opted for Deathiness. Death didn’t like that. I believe it was her fault (oh hell yes, death is a woman) that I found myself being carried out of the house with a couple of pulmonary embolisms and realizing that most people who were ...
