  One man's unlikely rise from bartender to national television reporter and the incredible adventures he's had along the way. 
   
   
   
  Hockey great Wayne Gretzky famously noted, "You miss one hundred percent of the shots you don't take." 
   
   
   
  Don Dahler took these words to heart, causing his entire life to change in a remarkable way. Souvenirs from an Absurd Life presents true stories about a relative nobody once struggling to make rent before he decided he would not accept what appeared to be a dim, boring, unfulfilling future. Instead, Dahler charted a new course for himself, somehow landing an award-winning career as a network correspondent and news anchor, covering a vast array of subjects, including wars, the attacks of 9/11, and the biggest stories of the times for FOX, CNBC, ABC, and CBS News. Despite the considerable odds against him, Don Dahler took his shot, and he made it.

  Named 2018 Book of the Year by International Rubery Book Award  
  The Edge of Innocence is a work of narrative nonfiction based on the 1964 murder trial of Casper Bennett, a man accused of drowning his wife in a bathtub of scalding water in Lorain, Ohio. Bennett's sensational trial pitted an aggressive, mercurial county prosecutor against the author's father, a civil trial attorney who had never before defended anyone for murder.  
  The book not only recreates the tension and excitement of this courtroom battle but also highlights the uncertain edge that often divides guilt from innocence. The author was ten years old when he answered the phone late at night when Bennett called his father from jail, seeking his legal representation.  
  Forty years later and long after his father's death, the author found the Bennett file in the bottom of his mother's closet. From the moment he began reading the papers, the long-forgotten drama cast a spell on him. As he uncovered more and more of the facts, the story he had known as a child disappeared, replaced by one far different.  
  The Edge of Innocence takes the listener through the criminal justice system and ultimately to the trial, where the listener, like a juror, must sift through competing claims and conflicting evidence. Full of twists and turns and colorful characters, The Edge of Innocence is all the more entertaining because it tells a true story.

  Reimagining Jonah - A Flight to...

  What would cause a proclaimed prophet to run away from everything he called home and dodge the 
  unyielding God of his tribe? Devoted to an uncompromising commitment to selfhood, Dr. Doug Wheeler 
  challenges the traditional assumption that Jonah was a miserable coward by examining him as a deeply 
  conflicted, courageous, and soulful man. With a poetic flair, Reimagining Jonah provokes and confounds 
  with language flavored by trauma and empathy, producing a richly contemplative and profoundly human 
  version of this well-known tale. 
  “Here is the story of Jonah like you have never heard it before! Doug Wheeler brings to his writing his 
  long wise years as a pastoral therapist. He knows that every story we tell — including Jonah’s — is thick 
  with subterranean transactions and freighted with background. It turns out that the story, in his gifted 
  artistry, is an account of being “born again” in freedom as a true self, engaged with the real world, and 
  partnered with the holy God who is well beyond all of our idols. Wheeler insists in an inescapable way on 
  our being participants in the narrative, with an earnest of good outcomes for our role in the story that is as 
  contemporary as it is ancient.” 
  — Walter Brueggemann, Professor Emeritus of Old Testament, Columbia Theological Seminary

  The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

  he Wonderful Wizard of Oz is an American children's novel written by author L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow. The first novel in the Oz books, the Kansas farm girl named Dorothy ends up in the magical Land of Oz after she and her pet dog Toto are swept away from their home by a tornado. Upon her arrival in Oz, she learns she cannot return home until she has destroyed the Wicked Witch of the West.    The book was first published in the United States in May 1900 by the George M. Hill Company. In January 1901, the publishing company completed printing the first edition, a total of 10,000 copies, which quickly sold out. It had sold three million copies by the time it entered the public domain in 1956. It was often reprinted under the title The Wizard of Oz, which is the title of the successful 1902 Broadway musical adaptation as well as the classic 1939 live-action film.    The ground-breaking success of both the original 1900 novel and the 1902 Broadway musical prompted Baum to write thirteen additional Oz books which serve as official sequels to the first story. Over a century later, the book is one of the best-known stories in American literature, and the Library of Congress has declared the work to be "America's greatest and best-loved homegrown fairytale."
