Book Description
Two brothers -- Chuck and Tom Hagel -- who went to war in Vietnam, fought in the same unit, and saved each other's life. They disagreed about the war, but they fought it together. 1968. America was divided. Flag-draped caskets came home by the thousands. Riots ravaged our cities. Assassins shot our political leaders. Black fought white, young fought old, fathers fought sons. And it was the year that two brothers from Nebraska went to war. In Vietnam, Chuck and Tom Hagel served side by side in the same rifle platoon. Together they fought in the Mekong Delta, battled snipers in Saigon, chased the enemy through the jungle, and each saved the other's life under fire. But when their one-year tour was over, these two brothers came home side-by-side but no longer in step -- one supporting the war, the other hating it. Former Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and his brother Tom epitomized the best, and withstood the worst, of the most tumultuous, shocking, and consequential year in the last half-century. Following the brothers' paths from the prairie heartland through a war on the far side of the world and back to a divided America, Our Year of War tells the story of two brothers at war -- a gritty, poignant, and resonant story of a family and a nation divided yet still united.

Book Description
My book title, My Best for Him, provides a statement about my life in Christ. I have not always been the best of Christians and have committed my share of sins and behavior unbecoming to a person of faith. Rather, my early life was a series of "falling away," putting myself ahead of Jesus, but coming back to His grace and mercy. God has always had a way of nudging me back on his path, and I am eternally grateful that he has. I have had many "hims" and "hers" in my life, including my parents, my wife Sherry, teachers, coaches, and mentors. This is a story about always trying to do my best for them, but ultimately doing my best for God.

Dozens of photographs, graphics, table, charts and diagrams supplement the text. A glossary elaborates on terms found in the text, gathered into one handy reference.

Book Description
Twins Gabe and Steve had nearly the perfect childhood, never lacking for a thing. Kyle had nothing but Jenna. She wanted nothing more than to make Kyle happy, but was torn away from him far too soon. Growing up in a small Montana town, the four children discovered the realities of life. The love of parents, the loss of friends, the betrayal of a brother, the sordid, secret life of a mother. Searching for a dream, but finding that even if it does exist, it seems unattainable. Yet they continued on, searching. Gabe longed to be a musician, up on stage before thousands of adoring fans, loving to be loved by them. Steve hoped to make his living as a cowboy, traveling with the rodeo and earning enough to survive. Kyle only wished to survive from one day to the next, his guitar and letters from Jenna forcing him to cling to one more day of life. Jenna fought her own battles, learning to walk again after her dream of becoming a dancer was shattered in a fall. Overcoming all odds, the foursome made their way into adulthood, finding a little fame and a little fortune, and each other.
