Gus Gordon is officially a Catholic priest who preaches on weekends for Food for the Poor. In effect, however, he is "atopia" (unclassifiable) who aspires to the freedom of life in the manner of Ikkyu, Rabelais and Thomas Merton. The thread connecting this tradition is "simply being a human being." The motto set for his tombstone is: "If you are not for yourself, who will be? If you are only for yourself, who are you? If not now, when?" (Rabbi Hillel).

Gus Gordon resides in the back hills of Tennessee. He is a speaker for Food for the Poor and has written Solitude and Compassion, The Warrior's Bible and Yeshua and Levinas. In this text he attempts to emphasize the urgent need of critical thinking in our times.

This book proposes that the key ingredient to effective leadership is trust and that leaders must earn the trust of their colleagues to be successful. The author uses his experience as a CEO in Mexico, a low trust society, as the basis of his model of trust leadership, which incorporates empathy and servant leadership principles. This book bridges the gap of abstract leadership concepts to practical application and implementation of leadership principles. Scholars can learn from the first-hand experience of the author as CEO while leaders can become more effective by grasping the theoretical underpinnings of leadership that the author offers.

This study investigates the close affinities between two of the world's greatest teachers: Yeshua of Nazareth and Emmanuel Levinas, a twentieth century philosopher. Essentially what they have in common is that they both pointed to a paradigmatic life style in which there is an extraordinary attention to the weak, the oppressed, the persecuted, the stranger, the unwanted. When such attention is lacking, the world witnesses such catastrophes as the Shoah.
