Women Who Talk to the Dead - The...

Katherine Schweit

A true story of the largest exhumation of murder victims ever undertaken by the FBI, seeking justice for 200 families 
In the shadows of Detroit's abandoned buildings and beneath the soil of county cemeteries lay hundreds of murder victims-buried anonymously, their killers uncharged, their families not knowing why they disappeared. For decades, only decaying police files hinted at what happened to these forgotten cold cases murders. 
Until two women decided to listen to the dead. 
Women Who Talk to the Dead chronicles the remarkable journey of Detroit Police Detective Shannon Jones and FBI Special Agent Leslie Larsen. Surrounded by skepticism and bureaucratic roadblocks, these women spearhead Operation UNITED—the largest coordinated exhumation of unidentified murder victims in FBI history. 
Through rain-soaked cemetery digs, crumbling case files, and bone-filled body bags, Jones and Larsen assemble a team led by female forensic anthropologists, scientists, and investigators who methodically unearthed Detroit's painful past. Their primary goal: to identify the nameless dead and bring closure to families who had spent decades wondering what happened to their loved ones. Their ultimate goal: solve 200 murder cases.

Running Africa - Cape to Cairo –...

Keith Boyd

11,000 km, 301 days, 1 Guinness World Record 
Why would a 57-year-old with a genetic heart condition attempt the fastest journey on foot from Cape Town to Cairo? 
In Running Africa, Keith Boyd tells the story of his epic run, complete with injuries, illness, being taken hostage, getting caught up in a rebel firefight, and having members of his team imprisoned. 
From a soft start in South Africa to increasing danger and hardship as he headed further north, Keith reminds himself – and us – of why he undertook the journey. 
After a business career spanning 40 years, Keith repurposed himself as a socio-economic activist, determined to make a dent in the greatest issue of our time: poverty. 
He founded RainbowLeaders.org.za to motivate young Africans to vote, elect great leaders and hold them accountable – and soon realised that the organisation needed a platform to spread awareness of its message.

A Certain Risk - Living Your...

Paul Andrew Richardson, Erwin...

Busy? Yes. Fruitful? No. Many of us lead frenzied lives—but feel we are going nowhere. Every day you may be asking yourself, “How can I become a voice of hope when the problems are so great? How can I envision my circumstances through God’s eyes and respond to others with the passions of his heart when the dry details of the day take over? How do I begin to live a deeper, richer faith that unleashes God’s transforming work in and through me?” Paul Richardson draws on stories from his life as a change specialist in the world’s largest Muslim country to explore what causes us to be deactivated—pinned down under life’s fluctuating circumstances, personal apathy, and disappointment. Richardson reminds us that the Creator designed each one of us to engage the complexities of our world with creative solutions. Rather than offering a series of how-to steps, Richardson offers you a refreshing vision of what a Spirit-fueled life looks like—a vision that sees Christianity as a fluid, innovative call to love. You will come away with a deeper awareness of your dreams, a renewed passion for faith in action, and a richer understanding of how God created you to live.

Heather Ferris

DEMENTIA and OUR LOVE, Caregiving as spiritual practice, is the story of Gary and Heather’s love that sustained them through an unusual and courageous life across continents, including tending Gary and his onset of dementia at 73 years. The story helped them remember their love and use this energy to move through the hard times. “We will always remember us this way,” a song by Lady Gaga, was pivotal in keeping Heather’s focus. 
This book also speaks to a vaster love, a way of life, that is available to all of us, caregivers, and family members, during unpredictability and grief. Our lives can be enriched and forever changed by love as it comes through kindness and compassionate awareness. 
Heather uses the original love letters and Gary’s poetry (with his permission) to set the scene that became the foundation for strength and resilience, continually starting again with loving presence. 
Well-known dementia care educator Teepa Snow says of this book, “This captivating memoir explores the lives of two creative, spiritual, passionate individuals who found their way to one another and walked hand-in-hand through Gary’s dementia. Their energetic connection is so powerful and exceptional that one cannot help but be touched.”
