A compelling, balanced examination into the historical and theological uniqueness of the Christian perspective and why it is that the Christianized areas of the world have tended to be the most enlightened and progressive. The work raises new questions about Christianity and, without sinking into dogmatism, suggests several fascinating answers.

The Four-Minute Ambush by John Hollis tells the story of the Caddo Indian boy Mark Adams from his humble beginnings to his quest for boxing’s heavyweight championship of the world. 
Along the way, Adams battles ex-pugs, thugs, Louisiana gangsters, Mexican drug lords, Ozark hillbillies, and a variety of colorful and tough boxers. 
Adams is recruited and trained by the garrulous old Kelly Shaw, an ex-boxer himself who steers Mark through the pitfalls of not only the boxing world, but through the problems faced by a young man growing up in today’s society. Shaw’s family adopts Mark, and together they form a bond too strong too break. 
After years of struggle, Adams seems on the verge of obtaining his dream—heavyweight champion of the world—when a gangster from Kelly Shaw’s past emerges to try and derail Mark’s quest. The exciting conclusion proves to be a matter of extremes—total defeat for one and overwhelming success for the other!

The Spirit of Spain brims with aperçus and revelations, many of them controversial, others startling, all engrossing. From Roman Hispania to the most recent Spanish trends, Professor Raley narrates the unique story of Spanish civilization. Examples of his original thinking include a "phenomenology of Spanish history," a new theory of the Spanish Renaissance, new concepts of Spanish patriotism and nationalism, and a reinterpretation of Spanish "Stoicism." As the book unfolds he also takes many sidelong looks into Hispanic America and offers a new explanation of Spain's relationship to Moslem Al-Andalus and modern Europe. The book culminates in a radical analysis of "Quixotic life" and its unsuspected significance for the post-modern age.
