Synopsis Going Down Jericho Road: The Memphis Strike, Martin Luther King's Last Campaign by : Michael K. Honey
The definitive history of the epic struggle for economic justice that became Martin Luther King Jr.'s last crusade. Memphis in 1968 was ruled by a paternalistic "plantation mentality" embodied in its good-old-boy mayor, Henry Loeb. Wretched conditions, abusive white supervisors, poor education, and low wages locked most black workers into poverty. Then two sanitation workers were chewed up like garbage in the back of a faulty truck, igniting a public employee strike that brought to a boil long-simmering issues of racial injustice. With novelistic drama and rich scholarly detail, Michael Honey brings to life the magnetic characters who clashed on the Memphis battlefield: stalwart black workers; fiery black ministers; volatile, young, black-power advocates; idealistic organizers and tough-talking unionists; the first black members of the Memphis city council; the white upper crust who sought to prevent change or conflagration; and, finally, the magisterial Martin Luther King Jr., undertaking a Poor People's Campaign at the crossroads of his life, vilified as a subversive, hounded by the FBI, and seeing in the working poor of Memphis his hopes for a better America.

Synopsis King by : Harvard Sitkoff
In this fast-paced biography, Harvard Sitkoff presents a stunningly relevant and radical King. Honestly assessing his successes alongside his failures, King: Pilgrimage to the Mountaintop weaves together high and low points to capture King's lifelong struggle, through disappointment and epiphany, with his own injunction: "Let us be Christian in all our actions." By telling King's life as one on the verge of reaching its fulfillment, Sitkoff powerfully shows where King's faith and activism were leading him--to a direct confrontation with a president over an immoral war and with an America blind to its complicity in economic injustice.

Synopsis Lost on the Road to Jericho by : David L. Williams
Samantha Hannum is the kind of experienced, calm-under-fire paramedic you'd want if you were badly injured, but the crises and threats she faces each day have begun to erode her compassion and will. She's lost all sense of purpose, a dilemma that is affecting the relationships with her family, friends and the people she serves. Samantha and her rookie partner stumble onto a plot to distribute contaminated medicine. Their discovery puts the medics in grave danger and tests the limits of their cunning and loyalty. Set against the backdrop of a gang war and a violent protest against a local abortion clinic, it's difficult at times for the partners to know if there is an actual plot against them or if they're simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Samantha's world is brutal and unpredictable, but it is also a place where strangers care for others in the most extraordinary conditions. To triumph--and survive--Samantha must find a way to rekindle the humanity she believes she has lost.

Synopsis The Road to Jericho by : Steven J. Carroll
Ronny Gentry, no stranger to trouble, is in trouble for real this time. After finding himself in the clutches of "Bank-Nappers," he's in danger of not only losing his life, but also his way, on the Road to Jericho. Aided by his trusty "best dog," Lionel, Ronny is brought into a web of menace and corruption that hadn't ever been seen, this side of the Mississippi. The Road to Jericho is about his travels to Jericho, AR, a hubbub of wanton and reckless living, in the summer of 1949. It's a book about charity, and gratitude, and greed, and the choices that lead us there.

Synopsis Jericho by : Ann McMan
Librarian Syd Murphy flees the carnage of a failed marriage by accepting an eighteen-month position in Jericho, a small town in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia. Her plans to hide out and heal her wounds fall by the wayside as she gets drawn into the daily lives of the quirky locals. When Syd gets a flat tire and is rescued by the town physician, Maddie Stevenson, the two women form a fast friendship—but almost immediately begin struggling with a mutual attraction. And, if that’s not enough, Syd is straight and going through a divorce—and Maddie somehow forgets to mention her sexual orientation to her new best friend. Almost everyone who crosses their paths believes it’s only a matter of time until they figure it out, but sometimes, it takes a while to see the obvious. Together, Syd and Maddie learn that life and love can have as many twists and turns as a winding mountain road.

Synopsis Three Times I Pleaded by : Michael Cranford
We live in a culture and a time when we're less willing than ever to accept that losses can lead to blessings and that God uses adversity to change us in ways that are essential for his work. As a consequence, we see very little of God's power in our lives or in the church. But each of us has the potential to let the Spirit work in and through the difficulties we face to change us and reflect his power in ways we can scarcely dream of, and produce an outworking of joy and peace that will carry us through the greatest of difficulties without fear. This book is intended to unravel God's plan and your potential to have that kind of life. Three Times I Pleaded includes study questions for each chapter that can be used for personal study or group discussion.
