On April 3, 1944 an incident over Mostar, Yugoslavia would change forever the lives of the ten crewmen aboard the B-24 H Heavy Bomber Boojum. "There was no such thing as a milk run. Every mission was fraught with danger. The first flight into enemy territory frequently was the last." Sgt. Edward L. DeMent

Growing up in the comfort of Rocky Mount, North Carolina, Elizabeth Vann might have embraced the charmed life of a small-town southern belle. But instead she chose to remain open to God’s call. And God clearly had other plans for her, which became evident when she married Worth Hobbs, a U. S. Naval Academy graduate who rose quickly in the military and later in the corporate world. In the span of nearly fifty years, Elizabeth would move twenty-nine times, and to such faraway places as Suriname, South America, where she and her husband endured three coup attempts. 
Wherever she has lived, doors have opened to her—problems have been solved and challenges met; friends, old and new, and opportunities have always appeared at the right moment. Are these mere coincidences? Elizabeth long ago recognized them as evidence of God’s plan for her life, as examples of what she calls "God-incidences." 
Always an Open Door is no ordinary memoir, for it is a moving testament to the ways in which God works through us when we are willing to be obedient members of His household. Drawing abundantly from the Bible and from the Book of Common Prayer, Elizabeth uses her life story to illustrate the blessings, the glimpses of the Kingdom, that await all those who learn to recognize God’s call and who respond with a joyful and willing heart. 
"I am but one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. What I can do, I ought to do. What I ought to do, by the Grace of God I will do. Lord, what will you have me do?" 
 —Motto of the Daughters of the King, a Holy Order in the Episcopal Church

On the morning of December 7, 1941, life for families across America was forever changed by events over which they had no control, but were to witness and play a part. An American Family in World War II is the moving story of one of those families — told largely in their own words. When Ralph “Lee” Minker Jr. entered U.S. Army Air Cadet training in 1943, he began a correspondence with his parents and two teenage sisters; letters that describe the rigors of pilot training and ultimately his life at “this air base I call home,” as he flew 37 combat missions over Nazi Germany. The letters from the family members to Lee bring a vibrant reality to the home front — rationing, bond drives, and the daily tension of war — through the people who lived it. Woven together with commentary by the editors, this is an intensely personal and richly detailed account of life in America during the harrowing days of WWII.

Why should a young person consider the sport of wrestling?    Why should parents take a close look at the sport for their children?    The sport of wrestling has the potential to change behavior, inspire personal development, and set the pace for a productive life and a fulfilling future.  So says Darrell McDowell, an educator who believes that wrestling as a youth set him on the road to personal success.      Wrestling for Your Life is rich with personal stories of struggles and triumphs.  It brings the sport’s attributes into sharp focus, juxtaposing colorful real-life stories with hard facts and information about the sport and how it is organized and played out.      In wrestling no advantage can be found by blaming another teammate.  Acceptance of personal responsibility separates wrestling from many other athletic activities.    This sport requires absolute attention to achieving an individual level of composure and sportsmanship....that test our expectations for pure and consistent self control.    Wrestling for Your Life proclaims that this sport may provide life’s only opportunity to devote full attention to individual performance under extreme conditions while demanding an all-out contribution to the success of the team.

One moment life is normal and in the next you have somehow stepped through a doorway and everything is in pieces. It was a beautiful summer day when Dwight Alexander received the news that his family had been in a deadly car crash. It was unbearable —two young sons barely alive and his wife—killed upon impact. Through These Doors is the actual account of the ordeal the Alexander family endured but more than that, it is a chronicle of how, through the grace of God and the strength of their faith, they triumphed. The journey was long and hard, taking this father through doors that led to intensive care units, surgical waiting rooms, and to a final farewell to his wife. But at every turn, no matter how difficult or terrifying, there was always so much love, support, and companionship from family, friends, and acquaintances, Dwight could little doubt that the Lord was carrying him along through so many unfamiliar doors. But would He restore Dwight’s sons? Would He answer Dwight’s plea for full recovery? Through These Doors is a faith journey fueled by nothing less than the promises of God. Can any believer then doubt the outcome?

A keepsake collection of over 600 prize-winning family recipes from residents of Lawrence, Kansas, and surrounding communities, from 1921-1949. On July 29, 1921, the Lawrence Journal-World newspaper announced to its readers an opportunity to win a two-dollar cash prize to the person submitting the best recipe for a vegetable salad. So began The Market Basket Contest, a weekly competition that would span three decades, leaving behind a long trail of prized dishes, some of which might otherwise have been forever lost. Among the more than 600 prize-winning recipes contained in this volume, you'll find: Miss Bartz's Black Raspberry Juice Mrs. Bahnmaier's Potato Salad with Cheese Mask Mrs. Rothwell's Cinnamon Rolls Mrs. Bartley's Love Knots Mrs. Fey's Hot Oyster Sandwich Mrs. Kirchhoff's Vegetable Soup Mrs. Smith's Arroz Con Pollo Mr. Broadwell's English Meat Pie Mrs. Jones's Corn Fritters Mrs. Hunter's Tomato Catsup Mrs. Beal's Eggs a la Goldenrod Dr. Bumgardner's Summer Drink Mrs. Fletcher's Cranberry Juice Cocktail Mrs. Ralston's Hot Cross Buns Mrs. Kasson's Strawberry Cream Waffles Jane Garrett's delightful journey into the kitchens of Lawrence homemakers is truly a timeless treat. Food, family and friends are the stuff of our culture no matter the era, and Jane has accurately captured the ins and outs of daily life as seen through a weekly recipe competition. More fun is found in the frequent use of print ads from the Lawrence Journal-World. The recipes are written as though being told to you across the kitchen table.--Robert Scoular, Lawrence, Kansas Chef
