  Rediscovering Scripture's Vision...

  Does God call women to serve as equal partners in marriage and as leaders in the church? 
   
   
   
  The answer to this straightforward question is deeply contested. Into the fray, Lucy Peppiatt offers her work on interpretation of the Bible and Christian practice. With careful exegetical work, Peppiatt considers relevant passages in Ephesians, Colossians, 1 Peter, 1 Timothy, and 1 Corinthians. There she finds a story of God releasing women alongside men into all forms of ministry, leadership, work, and service on the basis of character and gifting, rather than biological sex. 
   
   
   
  Those who see the overturning of male-dominated hierarchy in the Scriptures, she argues, are truly rediscovering an ancient message—a message distorted by those who assumed that a patriarchal world, which they sometimes saw reflected in the Bible, was the one God had ordained.

  Glenn Miller: The Life and...

  Though it may be hard to fathom in the wake of Elvis Presley and popular rock bands like the Beatles, the early 20th century featured a burgeoning music sales industry that was dominated in ways that nobody would ever reach again, including the Fab 4. While Elvis and the Beatles had a combined 71 Top 10 hits over their lengthy careers, Glenn Miller had 16 records reach #1, and he compiled 69 Top 10 hits, all in the span of four years before he had turned 40. Like any music pioneer, Miller and his band were often criticized for not being true to the roots of the music they performed, even as they perfected a sound that captivated the country. In short order, Miller and his music influenced legends ranging from Benny Goodman to Louis Armstrong. 
  	Miller was the most popular big band leader in the United States when he walked away from his orchestra to enlist in the U.S. Army. World War II was raging, and Miller was determined to fulfill his patriotic duty, so he assembled a military orchestra to give fellow American servicemen a little taste of the homes they were missing. While based in the United Kingdom in 1944, the military orchestra was granted clearance to perform in Paris, which had been liberated from the Nazis just months before.  
  	Miller planned his own trip across the English Channel to prepare for a few days ahead of the orchestra’s arrival. Miller’s trip had already been postponed by cold, foggy and drizzly weather, but on December 15, 1944 the pilot chose not to let similar conditions delay it again. The plane took off at about 2:00 p.m. from the airstrip at Twinwood Farm, but it never made it to Paris. As Miller himself had once prophetically put it, “I don’t know why I spend my time making plans like this…. I have an awful feeling you guys are going to go home without me, and I’m going to get mine in some goddamn beat-up old plane!”

   “A riveting look at the backstory of what’s in the display cases at your local museum. The author profiles seven historic objects with checkered pasts.” —Library Journal   There are many books about museum heists, Holocaust artwork, insider theft, trafficking in antiquities, and stolen Native American objects. Now, there’s finally a book for the general public that covers the entire terrain.   Stolen, Smuggled, Sold features seven vivid and true stories in which the reader joins the author as she uncovers a cultural treasure and follows its often-convoluted trail. Along the way author and reader encounter a cast of fascinating characters from the underbelly of the cultural world: unscrupulous grave robbers, sinister middlemen, ruthless art dealers, venal Nazis, canny lawyers, valiant academics, unstoppable investigative reporters, unwitting curators, and dedicated government officials. Stories include Gustav Klimt’s Portrait of Adele Bloch Bauer 1, the typset manuscript for Pearl Buck’s The Good Earth, a ceremonial Ghost Dance shirt from the massacre at Wounded Knee, the theft of 4,800 historical audio discs by a top official at the National Archives, a missing original copy of The Bill of Rights, the mummy of Ramses I, and an ancient treasure from Iraq.   While each story is fascinating in and of itself, together they address one of the hottest issues in the museum world: how to deal with the millions of items that have breaks in the chain of ownership, suspicious ownership records, or no provenance at all. The issue of ownership touches on professional practices, international protocols, and national laws. It’s a financial issue since the illicit trade in antiquities and cultural items generates as much as $4 billion to $8 billion a year.

  The Dark Wire Exposed - The True...

  For years, some of the world’s most dangerous criminal networks believed they had outsmarted law enforcement.
   
  They relied on a secure communication system to plan drug shipments, launder money, negotiate violence, and coordinate global operations—confident their messages were invisible.
   
  They were wrong.
   
  The Dark Wire Exposed reveals how a covert operation infiltrated global organized crime by controlling the very system criminals trusted. Investigators were able to monitor activity in real time, track networks across continents, and gather intelligence on an unprecedented scale.
   
  Through detailed reporting, the book uncovers the hidden infrastructure behind modern crime—and the strategy that brought it down. Smugglers, financiers, and enforcers communicated openly, unaware their trust had become their greatest weakness. Their messages exposed not only criminal plans, but routines, rivalries, and mistakes.
   
  But access came at a cost.
   
  As the operation expanded, investigators faced difficult choices—when to intervene, when to wait, and how to balance secrecy, ethics, and public safety. The deeper the surveillance, the greater the risk of exposure.
   
  When secrecy collapsed, the consequences were global. Arrests followed across multiple countries, networks unraveled, and trust disappeared overnight. The operation also sparked debate about surveillance, privacy, and the limits of law enforcement in the digital age.
   
  Written with the pace of a thriller and the depth of investigative journalism, this book explores modern crime, intelligence, and control. It is a story of systems, decisions, and consequences that continue to shape how crime is fought—and how communication is trusted.
   
  This is the inside story of a historic sting operation—and its lasting impact.
