In History from the Bottom Up and the Inside Out James R. Barrett rethinks the boundaries of American social and labor history by investigating the ways in which working-class, radical, and immigrant people's personal lives intersected with their activism and religious, racial, ethnic, and class identities. Concerned with carving out space for individuals in the story of the working class, Barrett examines all aspects of individuals' subjective experiences, from their personalities, relationships, and emotions to their health and intellectual pursuits. Barrett's subjects include American communists, "blue-collar cosmopolitans"—such as well-read and well-traveled porters, sailors, and hoboes—and figures in early twentieth-century anarchist subculture. He also details the process of the Americanization of immigrant workers via popular culture and their development of class and racial identities, asking how immigrants learned to think of themselves as white. Throughout, Barrett enriches our understanding of working people’s lives, making it harder to objectify them as nameless cogs operating within social and political movements. In so doing, he works to redefine conceptions of work, migration, and radical politics.

The Great Mysteries responds with passion and skill to the growing concerns of spiritual seekers and teachers of the Catholic faith. In radical, refreshing fashion, Greeley explores 12 essential questions of faith and grounds them in human experience. With the skill of a master storyteller and the passion of a deep believer, Greeley contemplates questions at the heart of human life--is there any purpose in my life? Are there any grounds for hope? Why is there evil in the world?--and reveals how the symbols, rituals, teachings and mysteries of Catholicism both shape and respond to these profound uncertainties.

Framed within an inspiring true story of spiritual awakening and deliverance from the clutches of organized crime, Tongues Inside-Out is a practical Biblical guide regarding why Christians can, but most don't resume Man's lost friendship with God by exercising his gift of speaking in tongues. Like Abraham's willingness to take a sign of the righteousness he had by faith, the book makes the case why tongues is likewise a voluntary sign of the circumcision of the heart that all born again Christians already received by grace. The book challenges all Christians that Christ Jesus has never stopped calling for us to step out in faith from our dispensational boats to walk on spiritual waters with unfailing trust that will allow their born again human spirits to pray and worship from the inside-out, causing a never ending spiritual conversation with God in the cool of the day in his Garden.
