He was many things to many people. To his immediate family, he was "Papa". To his friends, he was "Paul". To his football family, he was "Coach Bryant". To the masses, he was affectionately known as "Bear", a nickname that he never really cared for. Regardless of the moniker to which he answered, the man grew to be larger than life. More than a quarter of a centruy since he was laid to rest, Coach Paul "bear" Bryant's imposing shadow still lingers over The University of Alabama, its storied football program, and the sport that he changed - for the better - forever. Revealed for the first time in The Long Shadow ... are some of the questions and mysteries behind Coach bryant's decision to relinquish power and the troubling times he predicted for his beloved university. Reasons for the revolving door of coaching changes - and the negative impact that uncertainty has had on the University of Alabama's football program - are at long last brought to bear. You will better understand why Paul Bryant's extended football family and a traditional football juggernaut have found balancing the glory days of the past with the hopes and visions of its future, a bitter-sweet order. Whether a player, coach, or fan, you should come away from reading this book with a greater appreciation for the enduring impact that one man of vision can have on a society. You will also see how the sudden absence of such an individual creates an abysmal vacuum, an emptiness that can only be filled if - or when - another larger than life legend emerges from the shadows.

Now in book form, this is the intensely moving first-person account of "the Auschwitz Memoirist's extraordinary manuscript" described in Philip Roth's Patrimony: A True Story. 
This is the true story of a young man born at the wrong time in the wrong place. Lothar Orbach's family proudly traces its German heritage back to the fifteenth century, but that is no help to a Jewish boy coming of age in Hitler's Berlin. 
At the center of this world gone mad is Lothar, outwardly a cagey, amoral street thug, inwardly a sensitive, romantic youth, devoted son, and increasingly religious Jew, clinging to his humanity and his belief in God but letting his irrepressible spirit soar while underground.

This is the story of FBI undercover agent Edgar Robb and his 20 years of experience as a member of the Mafia. Robb, the only undercover agent to become a Mafia boss with his own crew and to penetrate both the American Italian and Sicilian Mafias, was responsible for what U.S News and World Report termed "the biggest drug bust in American history." The operations in which he was the lead agent resulted in over 200 convictions, turning the tide against the mob's power in the United States from the inside out.

Before and after

McCollough, E. Gaylon

Written from an evangelical Christian perspective, Road to Emmaus is a theologically thoughtful and intensely practical guide for pastors, pastoral care associates, and congregational volunteers. Practical suggestions abound--including talking with the dying, supporting families after traumatic losses, funerals and memorial services, counseling after mass tragedies and suicide, and ministering to unchurched people after a death. 
 The book is rich with anecdotes from the author's more than 25 years working with the dying and bereaved--as a hospice chaplain, pastor, and pastoral counselor. Here is strong biblical and historical theology of death and grief, with great practical ideas for pastoral caregivers who serve in the trenches.

The discovery of previously overlooked revelations in Genesis gave rise to this book, its title, and the McCollough Theory of Divinely Engineered Creative-Evolution. The composition and intent of the original colonizing team- the "us" and "our" cited in the ninth of ten creative commands- is a mystery that seems to have been ignored. Whether biblical scholars intentionally glossed over clues in the creation scriptures is a question that begs an answer. So, in keeping with the directive, "Ask and you shall receive," mysteries surrounding the origin, evolution, and destiny of life throughout the universe are posed to one of God's great Angels. During an encounter of the fourth kind, the Archangel Metatron offers the reader a fleeting glimpse of the Mind of God. And, for the first time, many realize that the image reflected in one's own mirror is that of a lesser angel, experiencing the priveleges, responsibilities, and challenges of being human- a requirement for earning its way through the ranks of a Celestial Hierarchy. Metatron's Revelation- unlike that of St. John, The Divine- provides hope for people of all races, creeds, and nationalities. The one, revealed in Let Us Make Man, suggests that if Mankind- of its own free will- chooses Good over Evil, Heaven on Earth would become a reality. The unfinished miracle would be concluded. And the call for Armageddon would be irrelevant.
