Rich Fritzky poses five questions to forty-five individuals who have devoted much, if not all of their lives, to Abraham Lincoln. The individuals reveal what led them to him in the first place, the attribute or ‘fixed mark’ that sealed their belonging to him, the conversations that they would most have liked to have had with him, the words of his that they were most moved by, and the why and how of his, maybe just maybe, helping save the soul of the Republic yet again in our own time. Among those interviewed were eleven celebrated Lincoln scholars and historians, the leaders of the National Lincoln Forum, the Abraham Lincoln Association, Lincoln Groups, and Civil War Roundtables from coast to coast, two celebrated Lincoln artists, an array of Lincoln impersonators, including Gettysburg’s own, curators, animators, professors, teachers, presenters, and more. They so movingly responded, inspiring and driving the author deep into Lincoln’s universe and into much material that is not often considered especially as to racism and race, his shadow-boxing with God, his faith and doubt, his exquisite humanity and extraordinary ability to lead, his nation of suffering and the torture it exacted upon him, and his rich reverence for both all that America was and could be.

Most of us know George Martin as No. 75 of the New York Football Giants, the star defensive end of the 1970s and ‘80s, with 96 quarterback sacks, the touchdown record for a defensive lineman, a Super Bowl win and an incredible interception that Coach Bill Parcells called the greatest football play he has ever seen. George is an NFL legend, but he’s also so much more. Son of a sharecropper who grew up dirt poor in the American South, through talent and determination, family and faith, George Martin became a true leader on the field and off, a man whose relentless positive energy and ability to inspire know no bounds. He has championed NFL colleagues as their union president, advocated for retired players with chronic injuries, and created a non-profit to help young people find their way to responsible adulthood through athletics and mentoring. Heeding his own inspiration, George one day decided to walk across America, the country he loves and credits with giving him the opportunity to succeed, dedicating his Journey to the rescue and recovery workers who helped America stand tall after 9/11, and raising millions of dollars for their medical care. Just Around the Bend is the remarkable story of a man, a life and a special Journey. George Martin is happy to have you along.

If you didn't know her, Mary Varick's theology might well have seemed nuts. After all, she insisted that God's greatest gifts included pain, denial, suffering, and sacrifice. Likely because those she served and helped bring to God were frequently blessed with these. Handicapped, Mary Varick had a great husband, four children, and a wonderful life that was threatened by a ravaging bone cancer. In the annals of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre, just north of Quebec City, you can read about the miracle that sent that cancer back to the abyss on July 21, 1951. But here, you'll read about the second thirty-seven years of her life-the relentless sojourn of an unabashed pilgrim, determined to bring others, especially her disabled "God's inner circle," to joy, grace, and God.
