  The last place on earth young Charles Johnson wanted to go was Mississippi during the heat of the Civil Rights Movement. 
  "Me and the Lord had a talk all the way all those miles. 'Lord, I have seen those dogs eatin' those people up! I have seen them lock the doors, Lord.' When I got there I looked for black people to be hangin' from street lights!" With deep faith and firm conviction he followed the call of God on his life and journeyed straight into his greatest fears. 
  This is the true story of Dr. Charles Johnson, an African American preacher who entered Mississippi in 1961 during the summer of the Freedom Rides.  Fresh out of Bible School Johnson hesitantly followed his Call to pastor in Mississippi, a hotbed for race relations during the early 1960's. Unwittingly thrust into the heart of a national tragedy, the murder of three Civil Rights activists, he overcame fear and adversity to become a leader in the Civil Rights movement.

  "On the Art of Poetry" is a treatise written by Aristotle, a famous Greek philosopher, in the 4th century BC. The work is also known as "Poetics" and is considered one of the most important works of literary criticism in the Western tradition. 
  The treatise consists of 26 chapters in which Aristotle explores the nature of poetry and its various genres, including epic poetry, tragedy, comedy, and the various forms of poetry that exist. Aristotle also discusses the different elements that make up a successful work of poetry, such as plot, character, thought, diction, and spectacle, and offers detailed analysis and examples of each of these elements. 
  Aristotle also examines the psychological and emotional effects that poetry has on its audience and argues that the purpose of poetry is to imitate reality in a way that illuminates universal truths and helps people better understand the world around them. He also stresses the importance of unity, coherence, and logic in poetry, arguing that these qualities are essential for creating a work of art that is both aesthetically pleasing and intellectually satisfying. 
  Overall, "On the Art of Poetry" is a foundational work of literary criticism that has had a profound influence on Western literature and has shaped the way that we think about the art of storytelling and the role that poetry and literature play in our lives.

  The award-winning journalist and author of Dixie’s Last Stand delves into a troubling murder trial gone wrong in this “superbly crafted” true crime (Jim Hollock, author of Born to Lose). When Jessica O'Grady met Christopher Edwards, she was a starry-eyed Nebraska college girl in search of Mr. Right—and Edwards had a dark and deceitful soul. In May of 2006, Jessica's mystifying disappearance and a blood-soaked mattress sparked a state-wide media frenzy. Enter Douglas County Sheriff's CSI stalwart Dave Kofoed, a man so driven to solve high-profile murders that he had twice before planted false evidence. With public pressure high, Kofoed knew he had to act fast. But while Edwards was known to be the prime suspect, the baffling disappearance of the body and weapon made his guilt nearly impossible to prove. And when Edwards finally did face trial, his defense had questions about the forensic evidence used against their client. In Body of Proof, investigative journalist John Ferak explores why “the case of Jessica O’Grady’s disappearance remains controversial” in this “compelling account” (Peter Vronsky, author of Serial Killers: The Method and Madness of Monsters).

  Sample Insights: 
  1) Perspective is important to recognize and understand in life. Americans could take a lesson in perspective from the Afghans Dan Crenshaw met and fought against during his 2012 deployment in Afghanistan, as every day they were worried about their safety and well being. 
  2) IEDs, improvised explosive devices, changed the way war was fought in Afghanistan. It no longer was a straight-up firefight, but a maze that could be traversed only in a single-file line to minimize the risk of stepping on an IED – all while being shot at.
