From Benjamin Franklin to Ragged Dick to Jack Kelly, hero of the Disney musical Newsies, newsboys have long intrigued Americans as symbols of struggle and achievement. But what do we really know about the children who hawked and delivered newspapers in American cities and towns? Who were they? What was their life like? And how important was their work to the development of a free press, the survival of poor families, and the shaping of their own attitudes, values and beliefs? Crying the News: A History of America's Newsboys offers an epic retelling of the American experience from the perspective of its most unshushable creation. It is the first book to place newsboys at the center of American history, analyzing their inseparable role as economic actors and cultural symbols in the creation of print capitalism, popular democracy, and national character. DiGirolamo's sweeping narrative traces the shifting fortunes of these "little merchants" over a century of war and peace, prosperity and depression, exploitation and reform, chronicling their exploits in every region of the country, as well as on the railroads that linked them. While the book focuses mainly on boys in the trade, it also examines the experience of girls and grown-ups, the elderly and disabled, blacks and whites, immigrants and natives. Based on a wealth of primary sources, Crying the News uncovers the existence of scores of newsboy strikes and protests. The book reveals the central role of newsboys in the development of corporate welfare schemes, scientific management practices, and employee liability laws. It argues that the newspaper industry exerted a formative yet overlooked influence on working-class youth that is essential to our understanding of American childhood, labor, journalism, and capitalism.

On Common Ground introduces a new approach to help bridge what has been termed a divide between Later-day Saint and Christian beliefs. On Common Ground is intended to foster a new level of understanding and acceptance among all Christian religions. On Common Ground author, Vinny DiGirolamo asserts, "All Mormons, Evangelicals, Catholics, Baptists, Lutherans, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Methodists and many other traditional, non-traditional, orthodox religions who believe in Christ are Christians. Why? Because their fundamental belief in Christ and their practice of moral principles, values, and gospel tenets, gives them hope in the promise of salvation through Christ, a personal witness of His grace, and experience in His ways. The common ground is the beliefs, principles and values they share, not in the way that they are interpreted or practiced, nor their origins, but in the manifestation of the fruits they bear and the manner of men they become through living those principles which are true." This Second Edition of On Common Ground includes Celestine Publishing's recent publication, titled, Three Words: The Only Difference Between Latter-day Saint Beliefs and the Rest of the Christian World

"Principles with Promise is a new kind of scriptural concordance series which are principle based topical guides. Each volume in the series is a compilation of principles and their associated promises found in scripture. Principles of all kinds have been extracted and catalogued from the laws, ordinances, commandments, and doctrines regarding our personal journey here on the earth and also the life to come. Principles with Promise: Especially for Catholics includes principles catalogued from the Old and New Testaments and additional seven books that are a part of the Catholic Cannon often referred to as the Deuterocanaical books (also part of the Apocrypha books). The four to five hundred principles catalogued from these additional books accepted by Roman Catholics and Greek Orthodox as scripture sets this publication apart; hence the subtitle, "Especially for Catholics."
