Letters to Zipp
The author’s father was the great and well-known sports writer and editor of The Birmingham News. Zipp Newman was an active writer from 1919 to his passing in 1977. Not only was he a gifted writer, Newman used sports to raise funds for needy causes, particularly for Birmingham’s Crippled Children’s Clinic and Hospital. The book is about Zipp Newman and his many relationships not only with sports figures around the nation but with local business and civic leaders.

The ABCs of Faith
The author of these two workbooks (or guided study programs) is the VII Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Dallas.

In his 4th edition of The ABCs of Faith, key points of faith are explained to the faithful who wish to recover their understanding, and to seekers who want to find a pathway toward faith.

The Special Jurisdiction of the Armed Forces and Chaplaincy (SJAFC or JAFC) is the endorsing agency for ACNA chaplains in the United States Military. The JAFC is a diocese of the Anglican Church in North America. The JAFC Journal contains articles written by chaplains – lay and ordained – who work many ministries around the world and within the United States. Some chaplains are non-military serving in hospitals, hospices, and prisons. The articles are eye-opening. Michael Williams is editor-in-chief and a bishop-suffragan of the Jurisdiction.
