New Every Morning

Waking Up to My Life

In this autobiography, D. Gordon Rohman, a child of the Thirties, brings to life in loving detail the world of the small town in which he grew up. He begins his story when he was age three with a mysterious kairos moment in which he was awakened to himself by his mother’s singing. Ever since, he has cherished the intuition that he has been on a sacred journey, touched by God, and renewed every morning as he awakened to ever larger life. Raised a Baptist, his faith journey led him to seek God in the self when he discovered Emerson and Thoreau in college. In his 50s, he was awakened to a breathtaking cosmic vision of God and Christianity by the works of C. S. Lewis. The author fills his journey with stories of the many families who, he says, made “me” possible. “I built my life on the rock of two families,” he writes, “the one I was born into and the one my wife Pam and I created in which we raised seven children. But I have been nurtured by many other families—of my hometown, of ancestors, of in-laws, of comradeship, of vocation, of avocation, and of faith.” “My story,” the author writes, “runs like a two-way street filled with the traffic of active and passive verbs—giving and being given, serving and being served, helping and being helped, teaching and being taught, loving and being loved.” Readers of this heartfelt and insightful autobiography will discover one man’s road to Heaven filled with love—of ideas, friends, work, soul mates, stories, families and God.

Fahim Speaks

A Warrior-Actor's Odyssey from Afghanistan to Hollywood and Back

Fahim Fazli is a man of two worlds: Afghanistan, the country of his birth, and America, the nation he adopted and learned to love. He’s also a man who escaped oppression, found his dream profession, and then paid it forward by returning to Afghanistan as an interpreter with the US. Marines. When Fahim speaks, the story he tells is harrowing, fascinating, and inspiring. Born and raised in Kabul, Fahim saw his country and family torn apart by revolution and civil war. Dodging Afghan authorities and informers with his father and brother, Fahim made his way across the border to Pakistan and then to America. After reuniting with his mother, sisters, and one brother, he moved to California with dreams of an acting career. After fifteen turbulent years that included two unsuccessful arranged marriages to Afghan brides, he finally qualified for membership in the Screen Actors Guild—and found true American love. Though Fahim’s California life was happy and rewarding, he kept thinking about the battlefields of Afghanistan. Haunted by a desire to serve his adopted country, he became a combat linguist. While other interpreters opted for safe assignments, Fahim chose one of the most dangerous: working with the Leathernecks in embattled Helmand Province, where his outgoing personality and deep cultural understanding made him a favorite of both marines and local Afghans—and a pariah to the Taliban, who put a price on his head. Fahim Speaks is an inspiring story of perseverance and patriotism—and of the special love that one man developed for his adopted country.

Daoud Khan later issued a presidential directive eliminating tribal surnames,
supposedly to make the country more modern. My father reluctantly changed our
last name from the tribal Barikzoy to Fazli—my paternal grandfather's first name.

The Journals of Washington Irving

Best known for his short stories, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Rip van Winkle, Washington Irving was a prolific essayist, biographer, and historian, as well as a member of the American diplomatic staff.
