Peace, Purpose, and Potential began as a ministry tool for inmates in the state prison system, particularly the ones locked down in the cell blocks. These are guys that Reed desires to disciple but might only see once. It is a collection of things that he wants to share with them from the Bible and things he has learned through his own struggles and God's faithfulness. For us to improve our life and realize our potential, we must learn to make better decisions. In other words, we must be transformed by the renewing of our mind. As Reed began writing, he realized that a maturing Christian in the prison system is not that different from a maturing Christian outside the prison system, so the focus is not only on inmates but maturing Christians in general of all ages. Chapters 1-4 address biblical principles; then the focus changes from principles to life application of those principles in chapters 5-15. The goal of Peace, Purpose, and Potential is to inspire maturing Christians to pursue peace, purpose, and their God-given potential in all aspects of their life

Oo-Ma-Ha-Ta-Wa-Tah and Other Stories (1898) is a work of history and folklore by Fannie Reed Griffen and Susette La Flesche. Written at the end of a century of devastation, marked by the Western advance of American political, industrial, and military forces, Oo-Ma-Ha-Ta-Wa-Tah and Other Stories preserves as much as it can between the bindings of a book the traditions and stories of the Omaha people. "In remembrance of the Omahas, the tribe of Indians after which Omaha city is named, and who, less than fifty years ago, held an uncontested title to the land where Omaha city and the great Trans-Mississippi Exposition is located, this book is dedicated, that the memory of the tribe, its chieftains, its warriors and its maidens might be preserved." Combining biography, historical documents, and folk tales, Oo-Ma-Ha-Ta-Wa-Tah and Other Stories serves as an invaluable record of a proud people. Beginning with the disastrous broken treaty of 1854, Griffen and La Flesche tell the tragic story of the Omahas through the lives of the chiefs who signed it. Concluding with a sampling of entertaining stories inherited from an oral tradition, Oo-Ma-Ha-Ta-Wa-Tah and Other Stories remains a masterpiece of fiction and nonfiction from two groundbreaking and vastly underappreciated figures in American history. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Susette La Flesche and Fannie Reed Griffen's Oo-Ma-Ha-Ta-Wa-Tah and Other Stories is a classic work of Native American literature reimagined for modern readers.

Rome (1896) is a novel by French author Emile Zola. Rome is the second installment in Zola's celebrated Three Cities Trilogy. Published toward the end of Zola's career, the trilogy is an ambitious, sweeping study of one man's struggle with faith in political, religious, and social life. Following his protagonist Abbe Pierre Froment, Zola provides a striking portrait of the soul of modern man in crisis with itself and with an ever-changing world. In Rome, Abbe Froment-inspired by his pilgrimage to the holy city of Lourdes-writes a book on socialistic Catholicism aimed at reforming the Church in order to benefit its most vulnerable subjects. Facing censure from Vatican officials, he travels to the heart of the Catholic world, where he hopes to gain an audience with the Pope in order to vindicate himself. Filled with hope, and perhaps more than a little naive, Froment believes he can inspire radical institutional changes for the Church. When he gets to Rome, however, he finds himself waiting endlessly for his chance to arrive. As days turn into weeks, and weeks turn to months, Pierre grows tired of the city's ancient beauty, which never fails to remind him of his fate as a member of an institution brought low by its commitment to tradition. Soon, he is faced with a choice-to continue to hope for change, or to change his own, small life. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Emile Zola's Rome is a classic work of French literature reimagined for modern readers.
