A WAR WITHIN Colonel Ray Longknife and Marine Captain Mary Rodrigo were once enemies in an interstellar war. Now they’re working together to keep the peace.

Stories from the women and men who have served alongside Methodist and United Methodist bishops. When a bishop is elected in The United Methodist Church, it is not only the one elected who is asked to serve but his or her spouse and family as well. Hear the stories of how Methodist and United Methodist episcopal spouses have adjusted to and navigated this life-changing journey. While dealing with the full range of human experience—births, deaths, relationship struggles, and illness—they also travel the world, participate in mission and ceremonies, meet interesting people, and stand up for justice. Through hardships, celebrations, and everyday struggles, these spouses find their own paths of ministry, answering the calls that are also placed upon their lives. In these ways and many others, they also serve. Praise for They Also Served A meticulous labor of love by Jane P. Ives, They Also Served remembers faithful unsung Christians by chronicling previously unrecorded details of the spouses of episcopal leaders. Sometimes in the spotlight, often in the shadows, the bishop's spouses struggled to fulfill unpaid roles and undefined responsibilities in the church, usually far from family and friends. Ives empatheticlly highlights how these persons, usually without voice or vote, helped shape the church's mission and ministry. - Dr. Donald E. Messer, Executive Director, Central for Health and Hope: Focusing on Global HIV and AIDS, Centennial Colorado. Bishops may ebb and flow in their popularity based on their decisions, but their spouses are almost universally loved and admired. Jane Ives helps readers understand why that is the case with her comprehensive story of the impressive, diverse, and thoroughly dedicated women and men who have contributed so much to God's work. —Lovett H. Weems, Jr., Distinguished Professor of Church Leadership Emeritus, Wesley Theological Seminary, Washington, DC In the gospel of Luke, Jesus sent the disciples out, two by two, to every town, and country, every charge and conference. Ives' book records the wisdom of sending two, and restores the names of those often forgotten in the story of the people called "Methodists," the spouses. These are remarkable oral histories as well as timelines of social holiness and global service. This is not a book about survival in ministry and marriage; it's a testimony to those who thrived in their calling. —Heather Murray Elkins, Professor of Worship, Preaching, and the Arts, The Theological School of Drew University, Madison, New Jersey This is a book about discipleship. It is also a book about ministry and itinerancy. It tells stories of how God sometimes calls two people to the work of episcopacy, people who happen to be married to each other. It is a book that will make you laugh and cry! This book is an important addition to the literature of Methodist episcopacy. And it is a hard book to put down! —William Boyd Grove, Bishop (Ret.) of The United Methodist Church Jane Ives has given the Methodist family a priceless treasure. Through an astonishing effort to collect memories and explore archival material, she has compiled a comprehensive record of episcopal spouses, their stories, accomplishments, and contributions to the church. But this book is more than a biographical dictionary. It offers a poignant, insightful account of the lives of bishops, their spouses and families, and the impact of the church's expectations on all of them. As a little boy, I knew firsthand the phone call: get on a train to New Orleans with your sister; your Daddy is going to be a bishop. Allow me to testify, then, that this book is the real deal -- genuine, human, and rich with faith and Spirit. —Thomas E. Frank, Associate Dean for Continuing Studies, Graduate School of Arts and Science, Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, North Carolina Laity and clergy active in United Methodist life and their spouses will want to immerse themselves in this "corporate" autobiography, which provides an overview of Methodism through almost 80 years of personal experiences and cultural change. Jane Ives, an episcopal spouse, has amassed here narratives, reports, and communications crafted by her spousal "colleagues," living and dead, as well as by those who have known them. For page after page, the reader will relive Methodism's sometimes gradual, sometimes dramatic evolution and its struggles with race, gender, inclusivity, and global relationships. The bishops' spouses have shown great creativity in making the most of their opportunities to be together during Council meetings: sharing ideas, establishing covenant and interest groups, and adjusting their organization to respond to changing needs. Ives has devoted the final third of the book to profiles of the spouses, some quite famous and others whose names are not even known. These vignettes illustrate how different episcopal spouses have lived out their own calling and how they have impacted the church and the world. —Russell E. Richey, Dean Emeritus of Candler School of Theology and William R. Cannon Distinguished Professor of Church History Emeritus, Durham, North Carolina

Finally, a book for parents of the deployed. We Also Serve: A Family Goes to War chronicles the impact of the two most controversial wars of our time on a mother, her marriage, and her family. In 2004, Nanette Sagastumes son is sent to Fallujah, Iraq with the same battalion, company and platoon that his father served with in Vietnam. To a degree not possible in previous global conflicts, advanced technology virtually plunges Nanette and her family into real time war, where the double-edged sword of instant information can bring both agony and relief. When a suicide bomber attacks the platoon, the family suffers through the experience with painful memories, faith, and courage. In We Also Serve, Nanette shares the emotional turmoil of having a son join the military just before the country is catapulted into war. She recalls in intimate detail the toll the war took on her relationships with her husband, family, and friends. Most unexpected was the impact of the war on her husband and his Vietnam veteran friends, who relived the stress, anxiety and anger they had tried to leave behind. When two generations of warriors come together, the tale becomes one of hope and healing.

This is the story of Corporal Ian W. Beaton’s U.S. Army World War II experiences based upon excerpts from over 400 letters he wrote to his parents and young teen age sister from February, 1943 to November, 1945. Along with extensive quotes from his letters, the well-researched background text provides in depth perspectives about life and attitudes that prevailed in the United States in the 1940s. What makes this author’s story different is that it is not about heroic battles, but about service in a non-combat supporting role in the military. Most of the 16 million veterans of World War II served in non-combat assignments. “They Also Serve” is really their story. Corporal Beaton and his millions of comrades in all branches of the military served in every theater as well as in the United States. Among their dozens of military specification numbers are ‘jobs” such as clerk/typist, yeoman, truck driver, cook, baker, heavy equipment operator, fireman, military policeman, drill sergeant and airplane pilot. However, even these assignments could be dangerous occupations. In World War II, 113,000 service men and women died from “non-battle” causes usually from unfortunate accidents or illness. In the author’s letters, we can feel his frustration about his assigned lot while at the same time, trying to rationalize his job as to its worth measured against that of others who were fighting and dying in the most important conflict in recorded history. This story follows the author from army induction through grueling infantry training where this young naïve very nearsighted soldier excelled in his weapons training and physical conditioning. This was followed by a two-month period of uncertainty in replacement centers in California and Pennsylvania where shipping orders were issued on a daily basis. After crossing the United States twice in a three-week period on troop trains, the author was shipped to Dutch Harbor, Aleutian Islands along with thousands of other infantry-trained replacements. Their role was to replace battle casualties which were expected to be very heavy in the joint American/Canadian invasion force to recapture heavily fortified Kiska Island from the Japanese. By the time the actual invasion was launched, the 6000 Japanese defenders had been secretly evacuated back to Japan in ships under the cover of the dense fog that frequently blankets the Aleutians in the summer months. The infantry replacements became the property of the Alaskan Defense Command and they were divided up among the personnel starved non-combat garrison units stationed permanently in the Aleutians. The author served a total of 25 months in the barren, treeless, wind-swept Aleutians including 19 months on Shemya Island, a tiny atoll in the far western Aleutians only 800 miles from Japan. He wrote to his parents that he felt like John Milton, the famous blind English poet who wrote the line, “They also serve who only stand and wait”. Life on Shemya was hard with frequent “alerts” for possible Japanese air or commando attacks. Work was on a 24-hour basis to construct a giant B-29 airbase with a 10,000 foot runway, large “T” pier, two-lane breakwater plus all the other infrastructure necessary to support the mission of destroying the major cities in Japan. The strategy was to literally set massive fires knowing that most houses in the Japanese cities were constructed of wood, and Shemya would play a major role in this campaign. All this changed when U.S. forces recaptured warm weather islands in the Central Pacific which were closer to the major Japanese cities than Shemya. In October of 1944, a huge storm (known in the Aleutians as a “williwaw”) destroyed the newly constructed “T” pier and the breakwater and
