Fidelis Publishing, LLC Sweet Land of Liberty:: Reflections of a Patriot
Book SynopsisBishop E.W. Jackson’s life story unites Americans around a shared legacy of freedom. As a great grandson of slaves, he believes that the promise of liberty has always belonged to all Americans. For some, only their heirs would be the full beneficiaries. Nonetheless, the Declaration of Independence marked the inevitable death of the ancient world as surely as it proclaimed the birth of a new nation. Jackson sees the history of America as the epic story of flawed human beings achieving an unprecedented victory for freedom. He does not wallow in the bitterness of the past, but inspires all Americans to embrace the promise of liberty.Table of ContentsINTRODUCTION: WHY I WROTE THIS BOOKChapter 1…My History: A Patriot Descended from Slaves Chapter 2 …Becoming a Christian and a Republican Chapter 3…The Constitution and Limited Government Chapter 4…Racism in AmericaChapter 5…Abortion and the Pro-Life Conscience of a Christian Chapter 6…Homosexuality’s Assault on ChristianityChapter 7…Education in AmericaChapter 8…Obama and the Age of American ShameChapter 9...American Military Supremacy and National SecurityChapter 10…America’s Energy CrisisChapter 11…The Sacred Symbolism of Our Flag, Anthem and Pledge of AllegianceChapter 12…The Role of the Church in American Life Chapter 13…Securing America’s Future

Barlow Book Publishing inc. Garment of Destiny: Zanzibar to Oxford: A
Book SynopsisThe author, a world-renowned transplant surgeon, scientist, bioethicist and global health expert, is a Tanzanian born into Swahili culture, with ancestral roots in Arabia, the Caucasus Mountains, and Ethiopia. This memoir chronicles the exploration of his multiple identities, taking the reader on an absorbing journey to Russia, the Ottoman Empire, Zanzibar, South Africa, Idi Amin's Uganda, London, Oxford, the Middle East, the US, Canada, and beyond. We meet slaves, royalty, great heroes, Nobel Prize winners, and mass murderers. It is an impassioned call to resist the polarization that is wrenching apart people of different "races," cultures and religions. Inspired by Gandhi and Martin Luther King, The Garment of Destiny is a remarkable journey that explores the many facets of identity, its formation and who controls it. Are we who we are-- or who we are as seen by others? "I believe that there is no clash of civilizations," Daar says, "because we have one human civilization."

Barlow Book Publishing inc. Repairing the World: Sheila Kussner and the Power
Book SynopsisThis is the story of a champion of cancer treatment and care, Sheila Kussner, and her best-known achievement, Hope & Cope, a pioneering, peer-based support service for cancer patients. Sheila also raised tens of millions of dollars to create the oncology department of McGill University. But as this biography explores, fundraising only scratches the surface of the character and deeds of this remarkable figure. A survivor of bone cancer that claimed a leg at age 14, Sheila Kussner has been a visionary in transforming the way cancer is researched and treated, and an indefatigable friend to anyone in need of support. Repairing the World delves deeply into Sheila’s story, to help us understand how someone so publicly and privately influential emerged, and how empathy has been her defining motivation. The reader learns of the personal challenges and crises that she confronted and overcame, and why her determination to improve support for cancer patients, by harnessing the experience and empathy of cancer patients themselves, was so revolutionary on a global scale.

Barlow Book Publishing inc. Hold on Tight: A Parent's Journey Raising
Book SynopsisJan Stewart never thought she would live with fear in her own house. Hold on Tight: A Parent’s Journey Raising Children with Mental Illness describes her raw and emotional journey raising two children with multiple mental health disorders. Jan details the roller coaster lives and challenges that both children have faced in detail, from the time they were born to the present as young adults in their 30s. Pulling no punches, Jan describes moments of terrifying fear, pain, and hopelessness, as well as of awe, pride, and hope. The roller coaster ride never stops. While brutally honest, Hold on Tight is a love song to Jan’s children. The book educates and empowers parents so that both they and their children can lead more fulfilling lives. Healthcare professionals, as well as families, friends, educators, employers, and others who interact with these families, get an inside look into the lives and unique perspectives of these parents. Compelling parental advice includes: • Trust your gut. • Persevere in identifying the right professionals, diagnoses, and treatments. • Insist on an integrated partnership approach with all those involved in each child’s care.

Editions Heimdal Mon pèRe, Joachim Von Ribbentrop: Secrets d'éTat
Book SynopsisLe 16 octobre 1946, Joachim von Ribbentrop, ex ministre des Affaires Étrangères du Troisième Reich, est pendu après avoir été condamné à mort par le Tribunal de Nuremberg sous l’accusation de « préparation d’une guerre d’agression ». L’historiographie le présente généralement de manière univoque. Cet ouvrage a le mérite de fournir des éclairages nouveaux. Rudolf von Ribbentrop, son fils, nous en présente trois principaux. Né en 1921, il se retrouve placé par ses parents dans les secrets de la politique et de la diplomatie, dès l’âge de 12 ans. C’est un témoin de premier ordre qui nous présente une nouvelle biographie de son père et des aspects inconnus – et sourcés – de la politique étrangère allemande ; un exceptionnel témoignage pour l’Histoire. C’est aussi son témoignage d’officier, sur le front de l’Est et en Normandie, jusqu’à sa dernière entrevue en février 1945 avec Hitler, réduit à une totale déchéance. C’est enfin, troisième volet, un témoignage qui démonte les ressorts de l’hitlérisme de manière efficace, comme personne ne l’avait fait jusqu’à présent. C’est donc un ouvrage exceptionnel sur ces trois aspects. Un événement sur le plan de la littérature historique.
