When war breaks out they are forced to choose which side they will fight for and who their friends and enemies will be.

Throughout their adventures they experience romance and treachery, true friendship and betrayal. The very essence of their faith and friendships are tested as their journey leads them to the brink of human endurance over and over again.
Meanwhile, politicians in Washington are desperately trying to come up with a solution to end the crises. President Abraham Lincoln leads the nation to war while trusting a young Army commander George McClellan. Lincoln goes to great lengths to encourage McClellan to take the initiative and attack, but his efforts only backfire bringing great scorn from both the commander and the President’s own Cabinet. Several times Washington D.C. is in danger of being captured as Abraham Lincoln and George McClellan disagree on a strategy. One struggles with loneliness and depression, while the other struggles with arrogance and incompetence. All the while, secretly, a member of Lincoln’s Cabinet is planning a coup.
In the South, President Jefferson Davis leads through his agent Robert E. Lee. Lee is aggressive and daring, ready to take any action which could give him the advantage. A man with the same courage as Lee, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, takes the initiative and conducts bold and daring troop movements stunning the Union Army. Jackson, a former schoolteacher, was once seen as awkward and boring but not anymore. His use of surprise leaves his opponents repeatedly astounded. This landmark account will leave you amazed at a human journey for forgiveness and a nation’s journey for unity and freedom.

7 Last Words
$18.99Add to cartBased on his talks at New York’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Good Friday 2015, the New York Times bestselling author and editor at large of America magazine offers a portrait of Jesus, using his last words on the cross to reveal how deeply he understood our predicaments, what it means to be fully human, and why we can turn to Christ completely, in mind, heart, and soul.
Each meditation is dedicated to one of the seven sayings:
*”Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”
*”Today you will be with me in Paradise.”
*”Woman, this is your son” . . . “This is your mother.”?
*”My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”?
*”I thirst.”?
*”It is finished.”?
*”Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”With the warmth, wisdom, and grace that infuse his works, Father James Martin explains why Jesus’s crucifixion and death on the cross is an important teaching moment in the Gospels. Jesus’s final statements, words that are deeply cherished by his followers, exemplify the depth of his suffering but also provide a key to his empathy and why we can connect with him so deeply.

Great By Choice
$29.99Add to cartThe new question
Ten years after the worldwide bestseller Good to Great, Jim Collins returns with another groundbreaking work, this time to ask: Why do some companies thrive in uncertainty, even chaos, and others do not? Based on nine years of research, buttressed by rigorous analysis and infused with engaging stories, Collins and his colleague, Morten Hansen, enumerate the principles for building a truly great enterprise in unpredictable, tumultuous, and fast-moving times.The new study
Great by Choice distinguishes itself from Collins’s prior work by its focus not just on performance, but also on the type of unstable environments faced by leaders today.With a team of more than twenty researchers, Collins and Hansen studied companies that rose to greatness-beating their industry indexes by a minimum of ten times over fifteen years-in environments characterized by big forces and rapid shifts that leaders could not predict or control. The research team then contrasted these “10X companies” to a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to achieve greatness in similarly extreme environments.
The new findings
The study results were full of provocative surprises. Such as:The best leaders were not more risk taking, more visionary, and more creative than the comparisons; they were more disciplined, more empirical, and more paranoid.
Innovation by itself turns out not to be the trump card in a chaotic and uncertain world; more important is the ability to scale innovation, to blend creativity with discipline.
Following the belief that leading in a “fast world” always requires “fast decisions” and “fast action” is a good way to get killed.
The great companies changed less in reaction to a radically changing world than the comparison companies.
The authors challenge conventional wisdom with thought-provoking, sticky, and supremely practical concepts. They include: 10Xers; the 20 Mile March; Fire Bullets, Then Cannonballs; Leading above the Death Line; Zoom Out, Then Zoom In; and the SMaC Recipe.Finally, in the last chapter, Collins and Hansen present their most provocative and original analysis: defining, quantifying, and studying the role of luck. The great companies and the leaders who built them were not luckier than the comparisons, but they did get a higher Return on Luck.
This book is classic Collins: contrarian, data-driven, and uplifting. He and Hansen show convincingly that, even in a chaotic and uncer
