  The spiritual needs of the Muslim world, long neglected by Christian missionaries, came to the world's attention again when Samuel Zwemer dedicated himself to the advancement of the gospel in Arabia. It was a tremendous task, but a pledge the young American kept despite opposition, difficulty, and death. Zwemer founded the Arabian Mission in Bahrain to serve Muslims through medical care, Christian literture, and preaching. With a heart on fire for Muslim people, he relentlessly shared his vision worldwide, calling many to action. Zwemer's legacy of opening a long-closed door challenges and inspires us today to love and respect Muslims and to proclaim Jesus' name in the homeland of Islam.

  American Caliph is a gripping, emotionally charged exploration of one of the most dramatic and forgotten hostage crises in American history. Set against the political backdrop of 1970s Washington, D.C., this riveting narrative follows the radical transformation of a man shaped by deep personal loss, religious conviction, and the desperate pursuit of justice. What begins as a spiritual rebellion explodes into a national emergency that forces the country to confront uncomfortable truths about race, faith, and institutional neglect. 
  Through cinematic storytelling and powerful insight, this audiobook reveals the untold story of the 1977 Hanafi Siege and the man who orchestrated it—not as a terrorist, but as a wounded leader demanding to be heard. Introspective, tense, and profoundly human, American Caliph challenges listeners to look beyond the headlines and ask what happens when a cry for justice is met with silence.

  Justin Hocking grew up in a part of Colorado where so many things happened beneath the surface—mining exploits, underground nuclear testing just thirty miles from his family's home, and geothermal activity that heats one of the world's largest hot spring pools. His homelife, too, was plagued by hidden patterns of abuse and virulent masculinity. A Field Guide to the Subterranean charts the author's lifelong process of unearthing the past and reclaiming his own identity and connection to the natural world. 
   
   
   
  How might we transform our traumas into deeper care for one another and the landscapes that sustain us? How do we transcend the mythos of the rugged American male so rooted in extraction and exploitation? And how far can we move beyond the self in a memoir? Hocking explores these and other vital questions by combining personal introspection with expansive narratives that examine geology, ecology, gender theory, mining history, labor rights, and even skateboarding. 
   
    
   
  Abundant with historical research and teeming with birdlife—and ranging in location from remote caves and mountains to secluded surf breaks in Costa Rica—A Field Guide to the Subterranean heralds a boldly original and kaleidoscopic approach to the genres of memoir and nature writing.

  A groundbreaking, exclusive inside look at the North American Mafia and the Rizzuto family
  		 
  For the first time in Canadian history, a high-ranking Mafioso agreed to break the code of omertà by talking to journalists. From October 2014 to October 2019, Félix Séguin and Eric Thibault held multiple secret meetings with Andrew Scoppa, getting an exclusive inside look at the inner workings of the North American Mafia. This book is the culmination of their perilous investigation. It sheds light on the life — and death — of one of the most influential organized crime figures in recent years.
  		 
  At exactly 2 p.m., there was a knock at the door. It was him: the source every journalist dreamed of having. The short man was armed and placed his gun on the table I’d moved between the bed and a chair.
  		 
  “Are you impressed?” he asked with a broad grin.
  		 
  “Yes. Very much.”
  		 
  Before me was Andrew Scoppa: close confidant of the late godfather Vito Rizzuto, international heroin trafficker and cold-blooded killer.
