Book Description
You've read her origin story. At least, she hopes you have or you're going to be dazed and confused. Having settled into her still-not-a-hero life, Meg's going to have to learn to start taking this seriously because she's not the only shark in the water now. And those other fish? They bite. Except these "fish" are small(ish), furry, and they're just the minions. On top of that, for the first time ever, Meg's met a hero who isn't afraid of her, and that's going to be a problem. Because Meg doesn't need some bad-boy biker hero type in her life, mucking up the one good thing she's got going. Villains, and monsters, and cops, oh my! Shit's about to get real.

Book Description
"At the same time that the dangerous war was being fought in the jungles of Vietnam, Campus Wars were being fought in the United States by antiwar protesters. Kenneth J. Heineman found that the campus peace campaign was first spurred at state universities rather than at the big-name colleges. His useful book examines the outside forces, like military contracts and local communities, that led to antiwar protests on campus." —Herbert Mitgang, The New York Times "Shedding light on the drastic change in the social and cultural roles of campus life, Campus Wars looks at the way in which the campus peace campaign took hold and became a national movement." —History Today "Heineman's prodigious research in a variety of sources allows him to deal with matters of class, gender, and religion, as well as ideology. He convincingly demonstrates that, just as state universities represented the heartland of America, so their student protest movements illustrated the real depth of the anguish over US involvement in Vietnam. Highly recommended." —Choice "Represents an enormous amount of labor and fills many gaps in our knowledge of the anti-war movement and the student left." —Irwin Unger, author of These United States The 1960s left us with some striking images of American universities: Berkeley activists orating about free speech atop a surrounded police car; Harvard SDSers waylaying then-Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara; Columbia student radicals occupying campus buildings; and black militant Cornell students brandishing rifles, to name just a few. Tellingly, the most powerful and notorious image of campus protest is that of a teenage runaway, arms outstretched in anguish, kneeling beside the bloodied corpse of Jeff Miller at Kent State University. While much attention has been paid to the role of elite schools in fomenting student radicalism, it was actually at state institutions, such as Kent State, Michigan State, SUNY, and Penn State, where anti-Vietnam war protest blossomed. Kenneth Heineman has pored over dozens of student newspapers, government documents, and personal archives, interviewed scores of activists, and attended activist reunions in an effort to recreate the origins of this historic movement. In Campus Wars, he presents his findings, examining the involvement of state universities in military research — and the attitudes of students, faculty, clergy, and administrators thereto — and the manner in which the campus peace campaign took hold and spread to become a national movement. Recreating watershed moments in dramatic narrative fashion, this engaging book is both a revisionist history and an important addition to the chronicle of the Vietnam War era.

Book Description
Leah's life was in shambles. She had suffered through various financial failures, emotional pain and disappointment, substance abuse, health issues and now she portrayed a bitter demeanor that no one could penetrate. Leah rejected anyone who tried to help until she crossed paths with author Maria Loveless. Although Maria would have preferred to remain in the comfort of her idyllic life, she realized God was calling her to guide Leah out of a world of darkness and despair into His kingdom of light and freedom. God showed Maria that she possessed a judgmental heart and He was going to teach Maria how to truly love the sinner and the lost as God loves. In order to do that, Maria needed to set aside 'self ' and acquire a heart after God's heart. To whom is God calling you to minister today? Are you willing to step out of your comfort zone and into a journey of obedience to save the lost and hurting around you? Follow Maria and Leah's journey of love in Tarnished Treasure and learn how you can minister to the women you meet who need God as Leah did. Walk through Leah's hurt and pain; feel the heaviness of her bondage and comprehend the coldness of her spiritual prison before she experienced freedom in Christ; know there is more to life than the pursuit of a comfortable lifestyle and personal achievement. Leah's life was transformed, but she wasn't the only one. Maria's life was also revolutionized as she learned to embrace a heart as Christ does. She is discovering what true sacrifice and commitment is, while learning to become obedient to God's voice; she is learning what it means to see past a person's sin and just to love as Christ asks us to love.
