In the case of the 1940s-era Latino soldiers, their social standing was on a level no higher than the segregated blacks living in America's Deep South. The emergence of the Latino GIs as battlefield heroes, exemplified by a lengthy list of Medal of Honor recipients, is still mostly a footnote of World War II. This book profiles a group of Latino men who left their humble homes in California, not necessarily to fight the Germans or Japanese or out of extreme patriotism, but more practically, to discover a way out of the poverty, discrimination and hopelessness that their families called life....

During the Fall of 2012, I preached a sermon series on the names of God. The purpose of the series was to give our congregation a better understanding of the character of God through studying several of the more prominent names God chooses to reveal Himself in Holy Scripture. Among all the names of God revealed in Scripture, none are as powerful, practical and personal as the name Jehovah, and its many compound forms. As God's covenant name among His people, Jehovah captures the self-existing, unchanging nature of God in His personal involvement among His people throughout salvation history....

There are major changes underway in the job market and they are already affecting everyone's career field. I'm sure there are many of you who are struggling with your long-term professional prospects and silently calculating whether you'll be able to save enough money to survive until retirement and beyond. It might be a layoff that has sidelined you or a demotion that has demoralized you or it just might be the drudgery of working in a job that you no longer love. Like me, you may have run into the not-so-transparent 50+ age barrier where young workers with low salary demands trump us old...

When we want to be like someone, we say we want to mirror that person. If you want to mirror someone, then you must listen to them. How often do you see children with the same mannerisms and speech patterns as the parents? They are mirroring them because of their love and respect for them. Thus, the title, Listening to the Mirror. But how do you listen, especially if the person lived 2000 years ago. You read about him through history books, contemporary thoughts and their own writings. That is what we do in this book. The goal is for each of us to mirror Jesus in our lives. We do this by...

From 1999 through 2010 I was a Christian missionary in the Philippines. I had previously lived an anti-social, self-centered, reality disconnected, destructive lifestyle-heading for prison or the grave. I met the Lord Jesus Christ and became a born again Christian in June 1984 and my life took an immediate radical change. The perspective of this book is from that of an independent missionary. The emphasis of my story is the journey and my hope is that the book will inspire and encourage you to undertake the greatest adventure of all time, being a missionary.
