Download or read book Honor Before Glory written by Scott McGaugh and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 24, 1944, more than two hundred American soldiers realized they were surrounded by German infantry deep in the mountain forest of eastern France. As their dwindling food, ammunition, and medical supplies ran out, the American commanding officer turned to the 442nd Regimental Combat Team to achieve what other units had failed to do. Honor Before Glory is the story of the 442nd, a segregated unit of Japanese American citizens, commanded by white officers, that finally rescued the "lost battalion." Their unmatched courage and sacrifice under fire became legend-all the more remarkable because many of the soldiers had volunteered from prison-like "internment" camps where sentries watched their mothers and fathers from the barbed-wire perimeter. In seven campaigns, these young Japanese American men earned more than 9,000 Purple Hearts, 6,000 Bronze and Silver Stars, and nearly two dozen Medals of Honor. The 442nd became the most decorated unit of its size in World War II: its soldiers earned 18,100 awards and decorations, more than one for every man. Honor Before Glory is their story-a story of a young generation's fight against both the enemy and American prejudice-a story of heroism, sacrifice, and the best America has to offer.

Download or read book The Passion and the Glory written by Ysatis De Saint Simon and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2001-03-14 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Passion and The Glory The Greatest Love Story Ever Lived There have been numerous accounts of the life of Jesus, but throughout the whole century there has never been a single one written from the point of view of a woman. The Passion and the Glory The Greatest Love Story Ever Lived is the first Gospel written from the point of view of a woman, furthermore, it is the only one written from the perspective of the woman who loved Jesus passionately as a God and as a Man, Mary of Magdala. It is the Gospel of Mary of Magdala. A Gospel for the new Century. The Passion and the Glory The Greatest Love Story Ever Lived offers to the reader the most complete account of the life of Jesus the Christ that has ever been written in the history of Christianity. That is, it includes in it witnesses accounts of His birth, miracles and stories of His Infancy, the occult, or lost years, His mission, passion and death, and the rarely found mystery teachings of the Christ Jesus to His apostles after His Resurrection, these, although known to Theologians, have only been disclosed in some rare and hard to find Apocryphal Gospels. The Gospel of Mary Magdala is illuminating, human, intriguing and interesting because it gives us dimensions unknown to most of us of the humanity and divinity of Jesus the Christ, dimensions that only the woman who loved Him experienced and can help us to know Him better. At the same time, it also gives to us dimensions of our humanity and our unconscious quest to recuperate our forgotten divine status. Mary of Magdala is an integral part of us, the fallen humanity. Her fall and her redemption are both irrevocably tied to our fallen human nature and to our hopes for redemption, when we read her story we are able to understand our human selves, our relationship with Jesus the Christ and our divine potentials subjectively. It is as if her love affair with the Christ is our own love affair with His Spirit and her rise from sin into sainthood, the hope for our own future divinization. As we penetrate it, The Passion and The Glory The Greatest Story Ever Lived becomes our own story. We learn more about Jesus, His Love for us and are exposed to His Mystery teachings, a priceless treasure of wisdom which is not only liberating, but helps to fuel in us the innate desire to discover and recuperate our true, divine nature. The Gospel of Mary Magdalene is indeed a revolutionary Gospel of Love for the new minds and spirits of the Twenty-first Century. The Passion and The Glory - The Greatest Love Story Ever Lived is a Gospel that was rejected in the past, mainly because it came from a woman. Things have changed, what makes it most valuable in the new century is precisely that it comes from a woman. A woman who was not only one of Jesus closest disciples and His most intimate companion, but the one He chose to make an apostle to His apostles by making her the sole harbinger of His resurrection. In an age when women don t have to bend anymore under the dark cloud of male chauvinism, the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, the woman who loved Jesus is more than welcome. The fact that her vision of Jesus is that of a woman, makes her Gospel a great love story, passionate, deeper and more human, very different indeed from that of the male apostles. Mary of Magdala lived with Jesus Christ by and through His Grace, The Greatest Story of Love Ever Lived. Thus, it is her Gospel.
