Paperback. Zustand: Good. In the summer of 1957 the Ward family moved from Brooklyn, New York to Lee, New Hampshire to escape gang violence. It was an era when racial tensions were high and they were the first colored family in the area. Needless to say, over the years they encountered many interesting experiences and created a storied life.They also became respected members of the community, led by parents, Harold and Virginia Ward, a couple with strong convictions and compassion. Harold, Michael Cameron Ward's 94-year-old father, was hospitalized in the beginning of May 2015 with only weeks to live. On the 20th he made a request of his son: Michael, I want you to write the stories of our existence. I want my great grandchildren to know where they came from. Then, as Michael sat beside his father's bed on the 4th floor at Exeter Hospital, his father recounted stories of his life that had never been told before. If not captured, they would be lost forever. On June 9th, 2015 Harold died, and Michael has been fulfilling his father's request ever since.The Sketches of Lee collection is not just the tale of a family's relocation in the summer of 1957 from Brooklyn, N.Y. to Lee, N.H. Rather, it's a chronicle of family life as the Index of Integration for Lee and other New Hampshire towns. This first volume, A Colored Man in Exeter, recounts some of Harold's experiences in the Exeter, NH area from 1959 until 1975. During this time, he often worked with people who had never spoken to or seen a colored person before.He became an ambassador for his race in an era where people were known for their deeds and not their bluster. Sometimes the challenge was overwhelming. But he and Virginia, were equally relentless in disproving the existing stereotypes of the era. They succeeded.Throughout their lives Harold and Virginia taught their children five basic tenets: 1. We are equal and will not stand to be treated any other way. 2. Racists are either ignorant or stupid. Ignorant people can be taught. Stupid people can't, so don't waste your time on them. 3. Any commitment you make is total; there is no excuse for not fulfilling one. 4. Do not spend time doing what everybody else does. Do what's right for you as well as you possibly can. 5. When you are in the right, you do not quit. No one ever successfully countered those positions.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. What don't Christians believe? Is Jesus really divine? Is Jesus really human? Can God suffer? Can people be saved by their own efforts?The early church puzzled over these questions, ruling in some beliefs and ruling out others. Heresies and How to Avoid Them explains the principal ancient heresies and shows why contemporary Christians still need to know about them. These famous detours in Christian believing seemed plausible and attractive to many people in the past, and most can still be found in modern-day guises. By learning what it is that Christians don't believe--and why--believers today can gain a deeper, truer understanding of their faith.This is a deeply refreshing book, full of exciting ideas. It manages both to be generous to the heretics and to show the beauty of orthodoxy. It is theologically profound while being immensely readable.--Timothy Radcliffe, former Master of the Order of Preachers (the Dominicans)This is broadband, big-picture theology, brightly clear and easy to read--not in the least bit 'dogmatic' in the contemporary, negative sense of that word.--The Very Rev Dr Paul Zahl, former rector, All Saints Church, Maryland; former president and dean, Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry, Pennsylvania.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Michael Ward's book presents a realistic and insightful portrayal of the early AIDS epidemic in Boston. I was especially moved by the vivid descriptions of love and loss expressed at Mark's memorial service. -Jerome Groopman, MD, staff writer in medicine and biology for The New Yorker Over three decades ago, just when we were all learning about AIDS, Michael Ward and his lover experienced firsthand the uncertainty, fear, and heartbreak of the disease. It is essential that we not forget these early days of the AIDS crisis. Thank goodness Michael is here to remind us of the human cost of those days in this moving, deeply personal, and beautifully written book. -Ken Harvey, author of A Passionate Engagement and If You Were With Me Everything Would Be All Right The Sea Is Quiet Tonight is about so much more than life and death. It's a story about how relationships survive when death is close. It's a story about community. I felt as if I knew all of the characters personally. A real stand-out is the characterization of Aunt Pearl, and both sets of parents are given good and honest space on the page. Michael Ward and Mark Halberstadt are present- visually, emotionally, realistically. While no relationship is without its difficulties and challenges, this wonderful memoir presents a searingly honest portrayal of life and love, of decency and strong ties. It asks all the right questions within the frame of a fraught relationship. The writing is tight and clean, and the prose is never maudlin. Michael Ward has written from the heart about a wonderful, terrible time in his life, and in so doing he's honored Mark Halberstadt's memory. -Catherine Parnell, Senior Associate Editor, Consequence magazine The Sea Is Quiet Tonight is beautifully written, a deeply affecting story. -Helene Atwan, Director, Beacon Press Sometimes what matters most is the story under the story. Maybe you think you know the story of the AIDS crisis and its devastations in this country. But inside that story are the kind of guiding, soul-level stories we need so much now: about how to be a true friend, how love takes apart our fondest dreams of what's supposed to happen, and ultimately how to grow up as human beings. Michael Ward's The Sea Is Quiet Tonight gives us both the outside and the inside stories. I read it in two sittings, riveted, nourished by the honest, sad, funny, beautiful truth of what unfolded for the author and his beloved and their friends and family. I won't forget this book. -Sherry Ruth Anderson, author of Ripening Time: Inside Stories for Aging with Grace Profoundly evocative of a time when hilarity and high camp gave way to unimaginable horror. Enter into these pages, if you dare. For those of us who lived to tell the story, Michael Ward calls forth the memory of the beauty, the dread, the terror, and the extraordinary ways we cared for one another. -Rev. Kim K. Crawford Harvie, Senior Minister, Arlington Street Church (UUA), Boston.…
