Taking a Stand in Our Dying Land issues a call to action that can't be ignored, challenging America's church to awaken from its slumber in the face of crumbling Christian foundations and join the battle for the soul of the nation at this critical spiritual and moral crossroads. The book begins by shining a light on the problems facing America's Christians and provides a history lesson on how its Judeo-Christian foundation has been eroding over time. It goes on to address the important matters of same-sex marriage, transgender and identity issues, racism and division, human trafficking and pornography, abortion, and the growing religious divide among millennials. And how should the church respond? Author Stephen J. Mitchell makes his case for living out our faith without compromise, speaking the truth in love, avoiding the temptation to marry Christ with politics, and standing up for what we believe in-even if doing so puts us at odds with the government and the law. Closing with an uplifting chapter on the potential for a spiritual and religious awakening, this empowering book challenges the church to become the shining light in America that will help bring this vital reawakening about.

The "illuminating" (Los Angeles Times) answer to why Israel and Palestine's attempts at negotiation have failed and a practical, "admirably measured" (The New York Times) roadmap for bringing peace to the Middle East--by an impartial American diplomat experienced in solving international conflicts. George Mitchell knows how to bring peace to troubled regions. He was the primary architect of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement for peace in Northern Ireland. But when he served as US Special Envoy for Middle East Peace from 2009 to 2011--working to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict--diplomacy did not prevail. Now, for the first time, Mitchell offers his insider account of how the Israelis and the Palestinians have progressed (and regressed) in their negotiations through the years and outlines the specific concessions each side must make to finally achieve lasting peace.
In the late 13th century, a young Basque monk, Itzal, is sent on a seemingly meaningless mission— to gather the melodies to Troubadour songs. His qualifications? His ability to navigate the many languages of Provence, his crude knowledge of transcribing music, and his guitarra Latina.There’ s danger everywhere - from the Church, local authorities, and outlaws scattered throughout the ruined beauty that the land once was. They hear epic tales of the great outlaw, La Lobita, the woman warrior fighting northern invaders. In "A Book of Lost Songs," Itzal and his companions face peril in the mountains, where the greatest danger awaits. This picaresque tale, shot through with echoes of troubadour poetry, follows one man’ s journey and disillusionment in a world of brutality.
Creating the first comprehensive narrative of Mississippi since the bicentennial history was published in 1976, Dennis J. Mitchell recounts the vibrant and turbulent history of a Deep South state. The author has condensed the massive scholarship produced since that time into an appealing narrative, which incorporates people missing from many previous histories including American Indians, women, African Americans, and a diversity of other minority groups. This is the story of a place and its people, history makers and ordinary citizens alike. Mississippi's rich flora and fauna are also central to the story, which follows both natural and man-made destruction and the major efforts to restore and defend rare untouched areas.Hernando De Soto, Sieur d'Iberville, Ferdinand Claiborne, Thomas Hinds, Aaron Burr, Greenwood LeFlore, Joseph Davis, Nathan Bedford Forrest, James D.
