McGuire Memorial Awakening Spiritual Dimensions: Catechesis and Prayer Services with Persons with Severe Disabilities offers a program and method whereby persons with severe intellectual and physical disabilities and their catechists are given the tools to awaken the Spirit of God within them and learn about the love of God for them. The book begins with the purpose and methods used in the program to allow its participants to evoke and awaken the love and presence of God during a time of catechesis and prayer. It is a sensory-based program of learning allowing the person with a disability to experience a sense of the sacred by way of sight, sounds, aroma, and symbols. The sessions are brief and composed of prayer, scripture, a lesson and a simple written activity.

Cecil Barr Currey, an acclaimed professor of military history and award-winning author of the novel, Innocence Dies (lstBooks Library, 2001), again turns his attention to the Vietnam conflict, continuing the story of Douglas MacArthur Andrews, a young man caught in the turbulence of the 1960s. An ROTC lieutenant, he serves as a platoon leader in Vietnam. He becomes friends with Platoon Sergeant Jan Szigmond; they struggle to serve with honor while simultaneously becoming ever more cynical, Szigmond is wounded and left for dead in the Viet Cong-infested jungle by members of his platoon. Later Andrews is supposedly killed in a VC Ambush. A Time to Remember continues their story. Neither Andrews nor Szigmond died. Currey tells how they were wounded, captured by the enemy and thrown into a northern prison to face daily terror and torture. Finally escaping, for months the two men make their way south toward safety. Currey brilliantly recounts their suffering, courage, and steadfast determination once again to pick up the thread of their lives. Returning, Andrews faces a court-martial for leading an alleged massacre of Vietnamese civilians. A Time to Remember tells the poignant story of his trial and its aftermath.

Amazing Gifts: Stories of Faith, Disability, and Inclusion is a new publication by noted religion writer Mark I. Pinsky. Pinsky has gathered stories from churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples across the country, "stories of people with disabilities and the congregations where they have found welcome." He has taken special care to include the widest range of disabilities, including non-apparent disabilities like lupus, chronic pain, traumatic brain injury, depression, and mental illness. There were 54 million American with disabilities as of 2000, and that number is now being swelled by wounded warriors from the Afghan and Iraq wars and an aging population. he author emphasizes that his purpose is to not to write a resource manual on accessibility and inclusion. Rather, Pinsky seeks to share stories of how people with disabilities have experienced their faith in the context of their disability, and how congregations have gained when they value the gifts that people with disabilities bring along. "This book," notes the author, "is for congregational leaders and others who may have no expertise or personal experience with disability, but who make the congregational decisions about accessibility and inclusion."

This book focuses on the power of the ‘ordinary’, ‘everydayness’ and ‘embodiment’ as keys to exploring the intersection of trauma and the everyday reality of religion. It critically investigates traumatic experiences from a perspective of lived religion, and therefore, examines how trauma is articulated and lived in the foreground of people’s concrete, material actualities. Trauma and Lived Religion seeks to demonstrate the vital relevance between the concept of lived religion and the study of trauma, and the reciprocal relationship between the two. A central question in this volume therefore focuses on the key dimensions of body, language, memory, testimony, and ritual. It will be of interest to academics in the fields of sociology, psychology, and religious studies with a focus on lived religion and trauma studies, across various religions and cultural contexts.
