| 'Drawing on his years of experience as a Catholic writer, Philip Trower offers a long view of how the Catholic Church arrived in its present modern crisis. Whereas many analyses take the Second Vatican Council as their starting point, Trower turns his gaze back towards the previous centuries, searching out the roots of modern conflicts over authority within the Church, the nature of Scripture, the relationship with the secular world, and more. ' His central thesis is that the positive movement for reform, and the negative movements of rebellion against the Church's authority, grew up intertwined in the years preceding Vatican II, and that it was only in the period following the Council that the division between the two became clearer. His analysis introduces a host of persons and movements whose legacies endure. ' Philip Trower's accessible style of writing and his attention to detail offer the reader a clear understanding of where the Church has come from in its recent past. Turmoil and Truth is essential reading for all who wish to understand the present and future direction of the Catholic Church.' ' “The most comprehensive and penetrating account we have of the post-conciliar crisis.� " James Hitchcock, St. Louis University ' ' Philip Trower is a British writer and journalist who covered five episcopal synods in Rome from 1980 to 1990. He is also the author of the novel, A Danger to the State , about the 19th century suppression of the Jesuits.' ' Press Information ' ' Dear Editor...

| "[Jonny Lang] is a man that's passionate about his faith as a Christian and is committed to reflecting that in his music. This is an amazing record from an amazing artist." Steven Curtis Chapman The Grammy-nominated, Platinum-selling former prodigy blues guitarist and singer/songwriter who topped the Billboard New Artist chart with his first album at age 15, stands now as a mature creative force, made more sensitive yet also toughened by life's adventures. He's learned what it means to rise above hard times and to find meaning where chaos seemed to rule. These insights, and the emotions they unleash, make Turn Around the pivotal album of Jonny Lang's career to date - a passage that links the triumphs of his past to the promise of his future. "With this album I want to focus, more than ever before, on my purpose in life," he explains. "I've been so incredibly blessed. My wife and I just had our fifth anniversary. I get to do what I love for a living. But it wasn't so long ago that I was spiraling downward in a lot of ways, until God touched my life and set me on the right track. I feel a huge debt to give glory back to Him for everything He has done for me. It's the least I can do." Produced by Ron Fair (Black Eyed Peas, Mary J. Blige, Counting Crows), energized through collaboration with songwriter/performers Drew Ramsey, Shannon Sanders and Steven Curtis Chapman, anchored and elevated by former Prince NPG rhythm dynamo Michael Bland, Turn Around is Lang's fifth album - but it's also the first of what will become his most moving and enduring works. "Every record I've done has felt progressively more and more like the real me," he sums up. "But more than anything I've done, this one comes straight from my heart." |

| Growing up, Chance Reynolds was the wunderkind of the Midwestern racing world. He was a sprint car champion who had quickly moved up to stock cars, which he was driving two years before he was licensed to drive on the street. And he keeps getting better. But, at a time when he's one of the hottest drivers on the Winston Cup circuit, that all changes: an off-track accident that affects his vision forces him out of the racing circuit, and for the first time he has to face a future without racing. Chance's old racing team doesn't want to lose his expertise, so they ask him if he will mentor Gage Grissom--a young driver who seems poised to move into the place on the circuit Chance occupied before his injury. Additionally, Chance begins to read Scripture as therapy for his injured eye and take independent-study courses at a local Bible college. In addition to working odd jobs for the Winston Cup Series--car chief, race-team general manager, and cable TV commentator--Chance takes over as the Winston Cup chaplain with the Speedway Christian Ministries. His life is taking new turns every day. Then the unexpected happens: medical advances raise the possibility that, with experimental surgery, Chance may be able to race again, and he decides to give it a try. After the surgery, NASCAR gives its blessing for Chance to drive again--and he does better than ever! Now Chance must choose between the "good life"--racing cars and being showered with money--or the life he created for himself when he thought he could never race again, including the ministry opportunities that go with the chaplaincy. It takes a friendship with a troubled teenager to point Chance in the right direction. |
