We Americans are engaged in an ideological struggle to decide whether we will remain a nation committed to the principles of individual freedom and self reliance or be transformed into an European style of socialism. Westin believes too many Americans are either to busy or disinterested to take the time to study the issues and gather the information needed to make intelligent decisions. Instead they allow themselves to be influenced by the diatribe spewed by late night talk show hosts, TV and radio political pundits, biased politicians and other celebrities. Don't be fooled by the small size of I'm Not a Celebrity. It provides a mini encyclopedia of information behind the most important headline issues confronting our nation. It is packed between autobiographic bookends establishing Westin's credibility as a senior citizen and presenting his example of what it takes to achieve the American Dream. Westin reminds us that history teaches that the decline of free democratic societies begins with the deterioration of social morality. If America is to remain the leader of the free world, each of us, regardless of political, racial, ethnic or religious affiliation, must take it upon ourselves to live moral lives and challenge those who turn their backs on common decency. If we don't, the freedoms we have enjoyed will be lost. He hopes that by reading I'm Not a Celebrity, you will be moved to action.

I felt like I was watching a news-reel film." - Khushwant Singh.

Locke's two groundbreaking treatises regarding sound methods of governance are united in this complete edition. At the time these treatises were written, English politics had undergone decades of upheaval in the wake of the English Civil War. When Dutch monarch William of Orange ascended to the English throne in the Glorious Revolution of 1688, burning questions over the best form of governance for England were prominent in the intelligentsia of the era. It was a time when England grappled with its incremental transition from monarchy to early forms of democracy and right to vote, where dynastic monarchy and religious theory still held considerable power over the formation of the state. Lauded as a classic of political philosophy, the treatises by Locke are a common requirement in various educational courses concerning political science and philosophy to this day.

The Bible points out, firstly, that the Sabbath was God's exclusive sign between Him and the Nation of Israel. No other group, race or nation can make claim on the Sabbath unless they are Israelites or Jews. Secondly, the Sabbath is only a shadow of things to come. An object or a substance has cast that shadow and that Substance is the Person of Jesus Christ who invites one and all when He said, "Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you REST." He is the true SABBATH. If we rest on a day, we cannot rest. If we try to concentrate on the law, we will be judged by the law.

When Hurricane Katrina, the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States, hit the Gulf Coast on August 29, 2005, few people could believe the horror and destruction that would unfold in the days that followed. As Communications Director for the City of New Orleans, Sally Forman went to work two days before the storm approached with no indication that she or the city were in harm's way. But within 72 hours, hurricane force winds were shattering windows throughout the downtown hotel where she had bunkered down with other members of the City Hall Executive Staff. The next ten days, chronicled here, became an unforgettable time in our nation's history. With almost 2,000 deaths, destruction covering four states and a million and a half people needing shelter, the world responded quickly and fiercely. Over 75 countries and 80 percent of Americans contributed to the relief of hurricane survivors and aid workers. Throughout the world, Katrina raised questions of humanity and exposed the vulnerabilities we still face as a nation. Through this personal and historical journal, Forman offers an insider's view of life in a disaster zone where communications and resources were practically non-existent. She also examines her own role and the role of other officials as wide-ranging disaster struck a major American city.

Each WORD from God is like an acorn fallen from the oak tree. An acorn doesn't look like much, little and hard crusted However, within this acorn lies all the DNA to become a mighty tree. In this creative endeavor, I have compiled 40 words which I feel have the power to challenge, affirm, and strengthen every seeker who is willing to travel this journey. These words are not to be read from beginning to end like any other book. Rather prayerfully ask God for which WORD you NEED. And when guided to that word, let it soak into your heart. Let it breathe within you. Live with it for awhile. I spent a whole season of Lent with the word GLORY, or a summer with the word TRUST. This resource has helped me to "crawl into the acorn" and really dwell with the word. Inside, I found a sacred place where my spirit would find quiet rest and adventure. When all else around me was confused and agitated ... here I would find peace ... and like the acorn ... I grew May these words bring you ever closer to the ONE who created you and desires for you more than you could ever imagine In reading the introduction to this wonderful book, I was visibly moved by the words I was reading. There is a power and a peace in opening a page of Patti's book and letting it take the reader into a quiet place. "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest." (Mk.6:31) This is a book that is like a well of spiritual refreshment ready for you to dive into its soothing depths at any reading. Tom Peterson Executive Director ACTS Missions San Antonio, Tx
