Resisting Tyranny is a new book about an American Revolutionary patriot, Matthew Lyon, a Congressman from Vermont, who was thrown into jail for criticizing then President John Adams under the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798. This is the story of a young Irish immigrant who became a leader in the Republican Party of his time, a crusading newspaper editor, and the founder of a town in Vermont and another in Kentucky. His legacy makes history come alive in our time with warnings for us to treasure and protect our First Amendment rights.

Regardless of our age, God constantly calls us to a deeper relationship with God. In *Fire in the Soul**, Richard L. Morgan offers prayers to God for help in meeting the following late-life challenges: discovering God's call at retirement, moving to deeper contemplation, accepting aging, discerning the meaning of stories, mentoring, facing loss and death and redeeming suffering. Morgan includes personal prayers (most written after his own retirement) as well as classic prayers from John Calvin, Saint Augustine, John Donne, and Teresa of Avila.
A constant spiritual guide for the later years, *Fire in the Soul** is a valuable guide for midlifers – for whom growing old is no longer a distant possibility – as well as clergy, social workers and other professionals who work with older adults.
