Warriors Forever is storytelling at its best: timeless, timely, a true story from an era when high school basketball was the talk of the town and the social event of the week. Warriors Forever is the story of what is best in us and what is worst in us in Everycity, USA : how we are divided, and how a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon can bring us together, at least for a moment, and erase our differences.                        –Publishing Profile

'There are times in life where we need to have our heart tugged on and our life put into perspective. John Gile in his great easy read book Keeping First Things First gets 'right to the heart of life". When you read "Love is a flower that blooms only in the soil of sacrifice. Where there is no sacrifice there is no love." ....John Gile's creative writing brings the reader to a place one may not have gone and even thought about...."Look at what you do when you don't have anything to do and you'll catch a glimpse of your soul." Let me ask you when was the last time you saw your soul?....What is happiness and fulfillment? How do you look at responsibility? John Gile suggest that "Happiness and fulfillment are by-products of doing our work and meeting our duties, obligations,commitments and responsibilities. For it is in meeting them that we meet God." I recommend Keeping First Things First Thank you John Gile for the wonderful book that helps to remind me to put first things first. To see the importance of the little things in life.'

At The Crossroads: A Vision Of Hope is about our future, about our rights, relationships, and responsibilities, about making life better and happier.

Today we breathe cleaner air and drink cleaner water because we resolved to change. But moral pollution which diminishes joy and destroys liv
es often is met with resignation.
cross
Many shrug and say, "We can't do anything about it." At The Crossroads: A Vision Of Hope reminds us that we need not accept foul contaminants which corrupt our spirit any more than we need accept foul contaminants which choke and poison our bodies. It is not a theoretical treatise, but a prescription for change, starting with you and me. Written by one of the foremost leaders in the effort to reform seminaries and a leader of a diocese which, to date, is an example of zero tolerance of clergy abuse and cover-up, it is a must-read for those looking for inspiration to take charge and reform our Church.
