An unvarnished family memoir of three generations of Irish-Catholic Boston firemen

Liverpool, 1939. Lonely historian Tom Baines is at work on a study of the city's architectural past but the ominous news from Europe, together with his burgeoning friendship with Richard, a young photographer, and his beautiful wife, Bella, are proving a distraction. When the bombings begin, Tom joins up as 'rescue man', retrieving the wounded and dying from the ruins of buildings, but the love affair he embarks on soon leads him into a very different kind of danger.

The history of a near-century of combat search and rescue, with an account of how the discipline was created and how it is administered—or neglected—today.

This generation is struggling—mostly alone. Fear and pain are everywhere. And yet most of us, especially men, forget or forgot what’s available and intended to help us survive and even thrive in these evil days: authentic Christian community. In Rescue, Justin Camp reminds guys that God put his Spirit into their hearts so they would come out of isolation to support and sacrifice for one another. This third book in the life-changing WiRE series explores: Why the myth persists that “real” men don’t need each other How vulnerability is the only path to becoming hearty, rugged, good men Practical wisdom for starting worthwhile spiritual communities Scattered, men are assailable. United with brothers and God, though, they’re protected—ready for anything this world might threaten.

From the Civil War to the turn of the century, this is the true-life story of the original Coast Guard and one crew of African-American heroes who fought storms and saved lives off America's southeastern coast. 31 halftones.

This historical study of the Holocaust explores the rescue activity in all 12 Protestant villages on the plateau of Vivarais-Lignon. Through letters, interviews, and unpublished autobiographical notes by some of the key rescuers, it highlights the extraordinary ordinary involvement of those who risked their lives to shelter thousands.

Astonishing and profound scriptural revelation of the Word of God not previously brought to bear on the root problems of loss of manhood in our nation and lack of accountability in the Body of Christ.
