I Held Lincoln
Summary
Lt. Benjamin Loring (1824-1902) lived the life of an everyman Civil War sailor. He commanded no armies and devised no grand strategies. Loring was a sailor who just wanted to return home, where the biggest story of his life awaited him. Covering almost a year of Loring’s service, I Held Lincoln describes the lieutenant’s command of the gunboat USS Wave, the Battle of Calcasieu Pass, the surrender of his ship, and his capture by the Confederates. He was incarcerated in Camp Groce, a deadly Confederate prison where he endured horrific conditions and abuse. Loring attempted to escape, evading capture for 10 days behind enemy lines, only to be recaptured just a few miles from freedom. After an arduous second escape, he finally reached the safety of Union lines and gained his freedom. On the night of April 14, 1865, Loring attended Ford’s Theater and witnessed one of the single most tragic events in American history: the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. After the shot rang out, Loring climbed into the presidential box and assisted the dying president, helping to carry him across the street to the Peterson House. Using Loring’s recently discovered private journal, Richard E. Quest tells this astonishing now-recovered story, giving insight into a little-known Confederate prison camp during the last days of the Civil War and providing much-deserved recognition to a man whose journey was nearly lost to American history.

The Biggest Sinners of Them All
Summary
"I'm sorry Lord You can try me Lord If you think there's a way I can repay what I've taken from you My soul in is your hands" So sings music legend Johnny Cash, who, despite having been a rebel, a hell raiser, and one of the biggest sinners of them all, not only spent the last few years of his life as a devout Christian, but released some of the best music of his career as well. That's how we have always had a connection, you see. Not in a personal way, mind you. From afar. Although I would have given anything to meet him in person if I'd had the chance. But he nonetheless had a very profound effect on my life. Then again, I'm quite sure that Johnny had a very profound effect on a lot of lives. How could he not? He was a very commanding presence to be close to. Whether he was singing or speaking, his voice alone commanded attention and respect. His voice was like no other; his stand-alone bass-baritone vocal style was akin to rolling thunder in a violent storm, but if you stood by Johnny's side through it all, you just knew you could weather the storm together. Come join me on our journey together, with tales of hope, inspiration, and redemption - and our long dark journey back into the light of God....

Lifelines to Cancer Survival
Summary
Reimagine cancer survival. That’s what stage-4 cancer survivor Dr. Mark Roby wants you to do. On December 30, 2002, Roby was diagnosed with one of the rarest cancers in the world and told it was unresponsive to all known chemotherapy. His oncologist suggested he “accept the inevitable”, but Roby thought otherwise. Quickly realizing that conventional thinking would do little to help him, he created his own, personalized treatment plan targeting his specific tumor. And he survived! This is Roby’s story, but more importantly it’s his compilation of the many resources he painstakingly discovered and wants to share with others who are fighting similar battles. With a medical insider’s knowledge of what it takes to stay alive when all the odds are against you, Lifelines to Cancer Survival is the first book to help guide cancer patients toward advanced modalities and testing, such as genetic profiling, personalized vaccines, and more. Roby wants to lead the charge of patients directing and supervising their own care. What others are saying: “Dr. Mark Roby's Lifelines helped save my wife's life and spared her from disfiguring surgery.” (Dr. Steve S., emergency room physician, Pennsylvania) "The concepts in this book, and from Mark Roby, were a complete game changer for all of us, a surviving cancer family.” (Marge Casteel, advanced cholangiocarcinoma) “The perfect guidebook for anyone feeling overwhelmed by a cancer diagnosis.” (Kelly Turner, PhD, New York Times best-selling author of Radical Remission: Surviving Cancer Against All Odds)
