The characters face the challenges of fame and family, and the battle between faithfulness and betrayal, on an unforgettable journey in the search of truth. Will they remain together through fortune and misfortune, or is the best thing that ever happens to them also the worst?

In an amazing true story, Zip Rzeppa's life connects with media superstars Bill O'Reilly--and Howard Stern--and Joe Buck--before any of them appear on TV. Grit and determination bring Zip his own fame as he becomes the wackiest local TV sportscaster in America. Longing for love, Zip ricochets from redheads to reporters to runners, from friends to flings to fiancees until he finally finds the woman who shows him every moment matters. Inspired, Zip drops the microphone and rolls up his sleeves to serve those in sheltered workshops, inner city dwellings, and foster homes. Finally, a miracle from Our Lady of Guadalupe delivers Zip a new calling to use his media savvy to feed today's spiritually starved souls. With echoes of St. Augustine's The Confessions and Thomas Merton's The Seven Story Mountain, For A Greater Purpose is the heartbreaking and triumphant saga of a dynamic 21st century man who discovers that the purpose of life is written in the Palm of God's Hand.

Do you ever feel helpless against the spiritual tactics of the devil? Do you look at the world around you and wonder what YOU can possibly do to make things better? In Let Freedom Ring, Fr. Altman, Fr. Heilman, and Fr. Peckman cover forty ways the devil influences our lives. Over the course of this training, you will learn how to cultivate virtues that counteract demonic manifestations; you will train yourself up spiritually, mentally, and physically; and you will become well-versed in effective spiritual weapons that have fallen by the wayside. As "children of light" we are called to put on the armor of God so that we may stand firm against the tactics of the devil (Ephesians 6:11). The tools in this book give us our weapons back and enable us to fight the darkness. We are the Church Militant. We have sat by for too long and passively let the devil build strongholds in our lives - it is time to take up arms. You are not here by accident. God has placed you in this time and place for a divine reason. We need YOU on the battlefield. Perhaps, like Esther, you were born "for such a time as this."
