Book Description
Just Call Me Lopez is a recipient of the QED Seal, which stands for Quality, Excellence, Design for ebooks and applications and a PIA (Publishing Innovation Awards) finalist. What do we have in common with a man from the sixteenth century—or even more so, a saint from the sixteenth century? Probably a lot more than you think. St. Ignatius of Loyola wasn’t always the heroic and holy figure that you hear about today; he was a flawed, fallible, and relatable man named Íñigo Lopez. In Just Call Me Lopez, a twenty-first-century woman, Rachel, meets the man who becomes the saint, and both are transformed by their unlikely friendship and series of thought-provoking conversations. Their worlds literally collide when Rachel is struck by a hit-and-run driver, and Lopez is there to help her. They realize that this chance accident is actually an act of God that allows Rachel and Lopez, through the medium of their friendship, to come to terms with their personal struggles. Lopez shares his life with Rachel, describing the obstacles he faces during his unbelievable conversion from a womanizing soldier to a man of God. While Rachel keeps mostly silent about her personal struggles, she observes and is astounded by Lopez’s metamorphosis from mess to mystic. Rachel finally faces her troubling situation, and Lopez gently guides her through the process of discernment to make a difficult, but inspired, life choice. Just Call Me Lopez helps us realize that our very human faults and imperfect behavior do not prevent us from receiving God’s grace; rather, knowing our weaknesses and giving ourselves over to the Holy Spirit can create a new way for us to live.

Book Description
On May 1, 1951, a legend was born. So was an era. Newly acquired Orestes Minoso, the first Black to play Major League Baseball in the city of Chicago, stepped into the batter's box for his first turn at bat in a Chicago White Sox uniform. On the mound for the New York Yankees that May afternoon was hard-throwing right-hander Vic Raschi, one of baseball's best. With a runner on first and one out, Minoso took Raschi's first pitch, then coolly blasted his second offering 415 feet into the centre field bullpen. The crowd of Comiskey Park faithfuls cheered wildly. Today, more than 40 years later, those cheers can still be heard. The living drama of this six-decade baseball legend is told with a rare blend of candor, insight, and honesty.
