In the late 1970s, the San Francisco Bay Area sportswriters labeled the growing group of born-again Christians on the San Francisco Giants the God Squad. When the God Squadders helped propel the team to a strong 1978 season, challenging the Dodgers and Reds, they often gave God the credit in post-game interviews. The press raised no objection. But in 1979, when the Giants' fortunes faded on the field, local sportswriters were quick to blame the born-again players, claiming their newfound faith had made them passive. The God Squad features present-day interviews with two of the born-again Giants of that era as well as with two of the sportswriters who covered them. You will also re-live the exciting 1978 pennant push and get inside the motives and beliefs of the six most vocal God Squadders. The book includes 14 pages of photos and a chapter on God Squad II, the second wave of born-again Giants in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including Dave Dravecky and Hall of Famer Gary Carter.

During the Vietnam war, the U.S. Army's Corps of Engineers was tasked with removing heavy jungle cover along roadways that were being used by the Viet Cong and NVAs to attack passing convoys in South Vietnam. A unique tractor was developed to cut down and eliminate certain areas of the jungle-called the Rome Plow crawler tractor-and it emerged to spawn a new movement in South Vietnam called Land Clearing.

Some of the gritty land clearers, as they were called, all of whom experienced harsh, dangerous jungle conditions, wrote stories about their arduous and hazardous involvement in the jungle clearing process.

The true stories in this book are a testament to these combat engineers who served in the treacherous task of clearing away the enemy's jungle cover during the height of the Vietnam War. Clearly, the actions of these unsung heroes saved countless lives during the war, and this book pays homage to them all.

Have you ever blown it? Or failed miserably? Have you felt that your fellow Christians and your church have been your harshest critics? You're not alone. Throughout history, God has tapped the shoulders of the most flawed people in the Bible to impact the world on His behalf, and yet that's not what many of us experience from our fellow Christians when we stumble or fall. But did you know that God has a different protocol for us? There's hardly a man or woman in the Bible who didn't fail greatly that God used for His glory. And if God can use them, then He can certainly use you. Despite your past. Despite what people say about you. Despite the magnitude of your transgression. We are not called on to be perfect but to be perfected through Jesus. Mike Lee walks us through one of the most painful chapters in his life and through biblical truth he lays out the framework for how we move forward from sin to where we can ultimately accept and offer forgiveness not only for ourselves but in our relationships and in our churches. Come along as Mike guides us to a better understanding of what God intends when He welcomes home the prodigal, uses the harlot, or anoints the murderer. When we are at our worst, God is at His best.

It's always fun to listen to children talking. This book will resonate with teachers of young children. Coloring pages at the end add to this child-centric book.

The rhetoric, Daadi said... and Daddi showed me..., can be heard for authenticity, at the end of discussions, between two grandchildren.
