In Moses: A Stranger among Us, Rabbi Maurice Harris leads us to look beyond familiar and popular portrayals of Moses so that we can discover the Moses whose lesser-known attributes and experiences provide us with surprisingly fresh ethical and spiritual guidance. Harris offers many angles on his subject, interweaving traditional religious interpretations, academic Bible scholarship, psychological and sociological analysis, feminist readings, and more. Combining deep respect for the biblical text with a willingness to question received tradition, Harris reveals a complex Moses whose life story gives us important tools for better understanding issues like religious fundamentalism, intermarriage, identity confusion, civil disobedience, gay and lesbian equality, and the nature of sacred mythic storytelling. Written in a refreshing, plainspoken voice for people of all faiths or none, the result is a volume of creative, thought-provoking, and exciting readings of the Bible.

Edward Harris presents a technical introduction to all facets of nutritive minerals in foods, including their chemistry, transport, absorption, bioavailability and physiological functions. He explains the in vivo behavior of minerals at a molecular level and clarifies their unique metabolic roles.

Charisma has had it rough life since the loss of her mother. At the age 13, she moves in with her father and his wife, Dianne but their relationship never becomes cordial. While living with her father she meets Peaches and finds out they share a birthday, but little do she know they share more than just a birthday. When Charisma gets raped by a neighborhood thug, things between her and Dianne get worse, so she moves in with her dad's mother, Grandma Ruth; where she meets Stacy, the brother of her sister LaChae's friend Tricia. What started as a great relationship soon turns heinous as he tries to kill her. While fighting Stacy, she is fighting the voices and demons in her head. Will she survive the torment of Stacy, will she get revenge for her rape, or will the voices and demons control her?

Yes You Can Survive Adolescence and Beyond was inspired by Jeffrey Harris' childhood and life long experience. Growing up without knowing his biological father, reared in a financially challenged household, Mr. Harris makes no excuses of what he didn't have, but talks about how he achieved what he does have. He learned the values of hardwork at an early age. Self-determination never left him although hard times challenged him. Reflecting on how he walked around with cardboard stuffed at the bottom of his shoes to replace their worn soles, drug dealing and use, and gang involvement, Mr. Harris knows that there is a much better life for everyone despite their challenges. The book captures such experiences of everyday people and prominent people we all know. His experience in the United States Army awakened him to his life's purpose. Although those years were not his best, they were the years that fertilized the seed his grandfather planted within him to cultivate the man he is today. This book is straight talk. It is nothing spectacular, but provocative, practical, profound and to the point. His advice to young people is believable and achievable. The book is trusting and real. Now, you be the judge!

“Harris says that almost everything in the novel happened—so much so that the book seems to me to be a memoir in the guise of a novel. It is difficult to discern what, if anything, is fiction.” - The VVA Veteran Join Garner, Dodge, and the rest of RT Iowa as they venture “across the fence” to help stem the flow of the North Vietnamese on the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Tense hours of moving in areas “denied” to the U.S. military are interspersed with fierce firefights; back at Kontum, the Green Berets unwind with wild abandon, while the recon first sergeant makes repeated, often doomed attempts to ensure the teams’ success—and survival. First published in 1990, this classic account of Military Assistance Command Vietnam, Studies and Observation Group, was written as a novel by a veteran of Recon Team Iowa to bring his experiences and those of fellow MACV-SOG soldiers to a wider audience at a time when their dedication and sacrifice was little known. The small tight recon teams—each comprising three U.S. soldiers and five to seven indigenous allies—undertook some of the most hazardous missions of the war. They would operate for hours or days in areas controlled by the North Vietnamese in order to collect essential intelligence on the enemy’s disposition. The unit would receive many accolades, but also suffer sky-high casualties. With a new author’s note and epilogue, Break Contact—Continue Mission is Harris’ tribute not only to the American soldiers that he fought alongside, but to the Montagnard fighters of RT Iowa—Whean, Kehn, Phe, Djuit, Kuie and Dominique.
