Описание: Dennis O Neil s and Neal Adams legendary run on the groundbreaking GREEN LANTERN/GREEN ARROW is presented as a Deluxe Edition hardcover for the first time.
One quiet Sunday afternoon, Pat McGurn receives a shocking recorded phone call from the Cook County jail in Illinois informing him that his brother's killer has been released from custody. Pat can't believe it. None of it makes sense. His brother, Denny, was run down, killed by not only a man who is an illegal alien but also a convicted felon--and now the man is walking free.
Death in Chicago is a narrative of Pat McGurn's brother's death and the glaring misdeeds of so called justice. Over the course of twenty-five days, Pat fights to keep Denny's killer behind bars, Denny had only been gone two months following the tragedy in Logan Square on Chicago's north side. How could the man responsible for his death be allowed to leave the country?
The deeper Pat digs into the case, the more he comes to realize the decision to release Denny's killer is completely political and orchestrated by the Cook County Board of Commissioners. He won't let them get away with blood on their hands--his brother's blood. He'll find a way to return justice with the help of Viet Nam Marine veterans.
Описание: In 1968, two remarkable pitchers would dominate the game as well as the broadsheets. One was black, the other white. Bob Gibson, together with the St. Louis Cardinals, embodied an entire generation's hope for integration at a heated moment in American history. Denny McLain, his adversary, was a crass self-promoter who eschewed the team charter and his Detroit Tigers teammates to zip cross-country in his own plane. For one season, the nation watched as these two men and their teams swept their respective league championships to meet at the World Series. Gibson set a major league record that year with a 1.12 ERA. McLain won more than thirty games in 1968, a feat that hadn't been achieved since 1934 and has been untouched since. Together, the two have come to stand as iconic symbols, giving the fans "The Year of the Pitcher" and changing the game. Evoking a nostalgic season and its incredible characters, this is the story of one of the great rivalries in sports, and an indelible portrait of the national pastime during a turbulent year--and the two men who electrified fans from all walks of life.

Описание:
In an age of deconstruction and rethinking, the Church should not be surprised to find itself confused by words like mission, missions, and missionary. Some struggle to redefine these categories and some seek to reclaim them, while others reject them outright, with or without providing new terms to guide us forward.
But words and their meaning matter; our confusion has a cost. Competing priorities pressure us to stretch our mission definitions as wide as they can go, releasing our people to creatively engage in service of every description. Some churches turn away from traditional mission efforts all together, giving preference to local service and evangelism while outsourcing any cross-cultural effort to those who surely must be more effective than we would be.
As an unfortunate result of these tendencies, many of our churches lack a coherent, compelling sense of what we're all about as we engage with the world. And if we lose our scriptural moorings, how far will our missions efforts drift?
Matthew Ellison and Denny Spitters call us to refocus our gaze on the gospel and the Great Commission. They assert that thinking must come before doing and shape our world mission practices and priorities. When Everything Is Missions is for church and ministry leaders and all who look to clarify their own answers to questions like these:
What is the mission of God?
What is the mission of the Church?
Is every Christian a missionary?
