Book Description
Early in the Korean War Chinese forces surrounded troops of the 1st Cavalry Division. Try to escape, the American soldiers warned catholic Chaplain Emil Kapaun. However, he refused to leave his wounded comrades and became a POW. His decision marked a turning point in the inspiring life of this young priest. Kapaun's faith and courage on the battlefield and in prison set an example for hundreds of young American captives. When they were starving, he stole food for them. If the men needed encouragement, he defied prison rules and prayed with them. When the communist guards mocked his faith in God, the chaplain publicly defended his heliefs. When Kapaun became sick, the communists denied him medicine and watched him die in their vermin-infested hospital. However, they could not extinguish the memories of how he served other prisoners. The Army awarded the chaplain the Distinguished Service Cross and the Vatican named him Servant of God. This book is a well-documented biography of an extraordinary person.

Book Description
While working the Midnight shift 12AM until 8AM as a police officer in Chicago on Christmas eve I would often fancy myself one of the shepherds watching over the flocks, of citizens. Aside from the dispatchers breaking the radio silence with their possible sightings of Santa Clause things were usually quiet. I had the same feelings when I was deployed overseas.One of my most vivid recollections of the Army was in Haiti Christmas 1994. I was standing on the back of a HMMWV Humvee, Hummer singing Christmas carols with the local children of Les Cayes. They knew all the words to "Angels We Have Heard On High", "Les Anges dans Nos Campagnes" in French. That Christmas Eve, surrounded by the children, I felt a power in the air. Again, I felt like a shepherd watching over the flocks.So, as a kid I wanted to fight evil. I wanted to be some sort of super hero. I wanted to be a leader and protector. I had the pleasure of being better than any superhero. I was a soldier and police officer. Being a Soldier gave me the opportunity to be a leader and being a Police officer allowed me to protect. Neither profession is on the celebrity list like Superman, Wonder Woman or Batman would be. So, I wondered who on Christmas Eve would have been the closest persons to become unlikely heroes. It was the Shepherds. They are the only ones on that night to whom the Angel of the Lord appeared. They were the only ones who saw the heavenly host. Other than witnessing the existence of the Christ Child did God have another mission in mind for them?This is the story of what may have happened as the shepherds returned to the flocks. The story is not meant to be a prophecy. I did not do any in depth study of the scripture to prove a thesis. It is merely me putting the imagination on paper. I still have the romanticism of a 13-year-old.Please accept this short Christmas Combat Story.

Book Description
Follow the incredible journey of one piece of paper—a copy of Psalm 23—as it travels around the world, linking lives and hearts with its simple but beautiful message. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures… Shortly before a tragic car accident, Kate McConnell wrote down the powerful words of Psalm 23 on a piece of paper for her wayward son. Just before she loses consciousness, Kate wonders if she’s done enough with her life and prays,“Please, let my life count.” Unbeknownst to Kate, her handwritten copy of Psalm 23 soon begins a remarkable journey around the world. From a lonely dry cleaning employee to a soldier wounded in Iraq, to a young Kurdish girl fleeing her country, to a Kenyan runner in the Rome Invitational Marathon, this humble message forever changes the lives of twelve very different people. Eventually, Kate’s paper makes it back to its starting place, and she discovers the unexpected ways that God changes lives, even through the smallest gestures. With beautiful prose evocative of master storyteller Andy Andrews’s The Butterfly Effect, this “intriguing…[and] inspiring read” (RT Book Reviews) will touch your heart and remind you of the ways God works through us to reach beyond what we can imagine.
