Ted Owens reveals all in this breakthrough classic of a bygone era - the golden age of UFOs.

You can be young, passionate about Jesus Christ, surrounded by diversity, engaged in a postmodern world, and reared in evangelicalism and not be an emergent Christian. In fact I want to argue that it would be better if you weren't. The Emergent Church is a strong voice in today's Christian community. And they're talking about good things: caring for the poor, peace for all men, loving Jesus. They're doing church a new way, not content to fit the mold. Again, all good. But there's more to the movement than that.

Have you ever wondered why some people just have "it" - that enigmatic spark that we just can't seem to put our finger on, that ethereal quality that seems to give all those individuals who have it a godlike power that allows them to move mountains? Celebrities have it, musicians have it, entrepreneurs have it, actors have it, rich people have it, and CEOs have it. Surely this can't be coincidence.

Ophelia Dahl traveled from Buckinghamshire to Haiti in 1983 and fell in love with the country and with Paul Farmer, a recent graduate of Duke who would become a famous doctor. With others they founded Partners in Health, the groundbreaking global health organization. Then came the split, new partners, new disaster in Haiti, and a search for solutions that might, in Tracy Kidder's words, "heal the world".

The African-American community represents a paradox of sorts. While collective success has been achieved in many areas, African-Americans still disproportionately suffer from a variety of social ills. The residual impact of years of slavery and exclusion from the major institutions of American life are still trenchant. Yet there is hope. As we move forward into a new millennium, our greatest answers can be found by exploring the past.

These stories are sure to open your "mind's eye" and engulf your senses of things unseen...and unknown.

I hope you get as much enjoyment and entertainment from listening to this book as I have had in creating it.
