In World War II, more than twelve thousand Protestant ministers, Catholic priests, and Jewish rabbis joined the Chaplain Corps. They were men of faith under fire. And they would charge straight into Hell to save the soul of a single soldier… Representing America’s three major religious traditions, volunteers from across the country enlisted as noncombatant commissioned officers to provide spiritual strength and guidance for those fighting men who never knew if they were going to survive. Armed only with Bibles, Torahs, and the tools of their holy trade, these men of God went wherever the troops went. They prayed over men about to go into combat on land, at sea, and in the air. And, most important and difficult of all, they guided fallen fighting men of every faith as they breathed their last, and gave up their lives in the fight against tyranny. These are the personal stories of some of the bravest and most selfless men who served with the armed forces. Many lost their lives or suffered debilitating wounds as they strived to keep the military personnel spiritually awake, morally fit—and prepared to make the journey from this world to the next without fear or despair, and with the trust of the Almighty in their hearts.

“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.” –Psalm 23:5 There are some places where you just don’t expect to find God. For the men of the 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, downtown Baghdad was one of those places. Moving into the heart of Iraq and ever deeper into enemy territory, they found themselves face-to-face with the ruthless Iraqi Republican Guard and Fedayeen militia. But when the smoke cleared, God’s touch was clearly visible. Serving as a chaplain to the U.S. Marines, Lieutenant Carey Cash had witnessed the miracles that began in the desert of northern Kuwait, and found their culmination in one of the fiercest battles of Operation Iraqi Freedom. With vivid detail and gripping emotion, Lt. Cash gives a firsthand account of this amazing story–how the men of an entire battalion found God in the presence of their enemies.

On Friday, November 10, 1775, the Continental Congress approved a resolution for the organization of the Corps, creating what would become the hallowed few, the proud--the Marines. Since then, the men and women of the United States Marine Corps have created the finest traditions of service and honor, and supplied a pantheon of heroes who have upheld them. In The Greatest U.S. Marine Stories Ever Told, editor Iain Martin has accumulated these marines' most amazing true tales of service and sacrifice, from the Halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli, to the conflicts where they serve today.

The global world debates secularism, freedom of belief, faith-based norms, the state's arbitration of religious conflicts, and the place of the sacred in the public sphere. In facing these issues, Britain, India, and South Africa stand out as unique laboratories. They have greatly influenced the rest of the world. As single countries and together as a whole, the three have moved from the colonial clash of antagonistic religions (of your gods) to an era when it has become impossible to dissociate your god from my god. Today both belong to the same blurred reality of our gods. Through a narrative account of British, South African, and Indian court cases from 1857 to 2009, the author draws an unconventional history of the process leading from the encounter with the gods of the other to the forging of a postmodern, common, and global religion. Across ages, borders, faiths, and laws, the three countries have experienced the ambivalent interaction of society, politics, and beliefs. Hence the lesson the world might learn from them: our gods promise an idealized purity, but they can only become real in the everyday creation of mixed identities, hybrid deities, and shared fears and hopes.

Did you know that God has superheroes of his own? They started as ordinary people of different ages, from all different countries and different races, from rich and poor and all walks of life. Then they heard God's call, accepted their missions, and were changed forever! God's Superheroes: Amazing Catholic Men, Vol. II highlights another thirty-eight amazing Catholic men, including Saint Damien de Veuster, Saint Francis de Sales, Hugh O'Flaherty, Saint Jean de Brebeuf, Saint José Sánchez del Río, Saint Juan Diego, Saint Philip Neri, Blessed Solanus Casey, and a trio of heroic chaplains: Servant of God Emil Kapaun, Venerable Joseph Lafleur, and Servant of God Vincent Capodanno. The men in this book were brave and bold in their Catholic Faith. Some of them even had what could be called "superpowers." God gave them special abilities that helped them bring people closer to him, such as healing, bilocation, reading hearts and minds, and knowing future events. Whether dealing with their own weaknesses or facing persecution, torture, and even death, they held onto their faith and never wavered in their mission. God's superheroes are still champions for good today. They want you to continue their work of helping those in need, fighting evil and injustice, and making Jesus known and loved. They want to help you find the mission that God has for you. Learn about holy women in this book's companion — God"s Superheroes: Amazing Catholic Women, Vol. II.
