Abigail & John


Portrait of a Marriage
Edith Gelles
Publisher: William Morrow & Co, Inc/Imp of Har., April 14, 2009
Review: It was a love match that has been “mythologized in American history,” one that endured for 54 years, produced a President-son and established a political dynasty. Now, in Abigail & John, historian Edith Gelles gives us a powerful double biography that views America’s founding through the lens of this extraordinary couple.
With ample excerpts from their extensive correspondence, Gelles provides a vivid portrait of the Adams’ family and political life, including John’s single turbulent term as president and Abigail’s successes as our second First Lady. Ultimately, Gelles shows how the Adams’ marriage was a marriage of equals. The result is an inspiring, first-hand flesh-and-blood account of the birth of the United States.

The Black Cat


A Richard Jury Mystery
Martha Grimes
Publisher: Viking Penguin/Div. Penguin Putnam, April 06, 2010
Review: In Martha Grimes' The Black Cat, a couple of months have passed since Superintendent Richard Jury of New Scotland Yard was suspended for saving the lives of two little girls, and the pensive detective has grown more wary than ever. He doesn’t know what to think when he’s called on a case far out of his jurisdiction.
In the outlying village of Chesham, a beautiful young woman has been shot to death and left in the cold wearing a gown by Yves Saint Laurent and shoes by Jimmy Choo. Jury wouldn’t think twice if this homicide took place at the Royal Albert Hall, but what’s interesting is that it occurred on the grounds of a back-alley pub. The only witness is the pub’s black cat, who seems to be involved in a mystery of his own.
Identifying the murdered girl is tricky, until she's recognized as a local who was living a double life: as a retiring librarian by day, and a high-class call girl by night. When two more escorts are murdered, Jury must use all his wits and intuition to determine the connection.
During the investigation, a name pops up that sets Jury’s teeth on edge: his old nemesis, Harry Johnson. And Johnson, along with the imperturbable dog, Mungo, just may be the key to it all.

A Beautiful Friendship



David Weber
Publisher: Baen Books, October 01, 2011
Review: With A Beautiful Friendship, David Weber delivers the first entry in a teen series featuring the founder of a pioneering family destined to lead the fight for humanity’s freedom in a dangerous galaxy.
Twelve-year-old Stephanie Harrington hates being confined inside her family’s compound on the frontier planet Sphinx, a wilderness world populated by dangerous animals that could easily tear a human to pieces. She’s determined to make discoveries—and the biggest discovery of all is an intelligent alien species called treecats.
Resembling a cross between a bobcat and a lemur (but with six legs and much more deadly claws), treecats are also telepathic, able to bond with gifted humans such as the genetically-enhanced Stephanie. But Stephanie’s find, and her first-of-its-kind bond with a treecat, brings on a torrent of danger. Highly-placed enemies with galactic-sized wealth at stake are determined to ensure that Sphinx remains entirely in human hands—even if it means the extermination of another thinking species. Stephanie and Lionheart are about to undergo the greatest test two alien species can ever face together: how to survive first contact and win a future with liberty and justice for all!

The Scent of Jasmine



Jude Deveraux
Publisher: Atria Books, December 28, 2010
Review: Jude Deveraux dazzles again with the next installment in her popular Edilean series. The Scent of Jasmine takes us to 1799, where a pampered young beauty leaves behind her patrician upbringing to go on the run with a convicted killer….
That it wasn’t supposed to turn out this way is all Cay Harcourt can think about after her godfather’s plan to help Scotsman Alexander McDowell break out of prison goes terribly awry. Now she too is on the run, having aided his escape, and the crazy thing is, she’s never felt so free!
Alex, the son of an old friend of Cay’s father, insists he was framed for murder—and she believes him. She also suspects that beneath his unkempt appearance is a man she wouldn’t mind adding to her long list of suitors. As for Alex, he’s well aware that such close proximity to Cay would test the limits of a saint, something he decidedly is not. And when the pair meets up with the boat waiting to hide Alex deep inside the Everglades, he sends her away, never imagining she would dare to refuse. Now, amid the sultry atmosphere of uncharted land and unspeakable danger, will the unlikely couple stop sparring long enough to discover the promise and passion of love?

David Crockett


The Lion of the West
Michael Wallis
Publisher: W.W. Norton & Co., Inc., May 16, 2011
Review: His name was David Crockett. He never signed his name any other way, but popular culture transformed his memory into “Davy Crockett,” and Hollywood gave him a raccoon hat he hardly ever wore. But, he did cut a huge swath across early 19th-century America—as a frontiersman, a prodigious hunter, a soldier under Andrew Jackson, an unlikely congressman, a defender of Native American Indian rights and, finally, a martyr at the Alamo.
In David Crockett: The Lion of the West, historian and bestselling author Michael Wallis casts a fresh look at the man behind the legend. Separating fact from fiction, he brings to life a true American hero whose real-life exploits are at least as fascinating as the tales they inspired.

The Kindly Ones



Jonathan Littell
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers, March 03, 2009
Review: Massive in scope, provocative in subject matter and shocking in its choice of protagonist, The Kindly Ones by Jonathan Littell is one of the most keenly anticipated books of the season. A record-breaking bestseller in Europe, it has already won France’s prestigious Concourt Prize, as well as the Academie Francaise’s Prize for Literature. And now, for the first time, it’s finally available for the English-speaking world.
Dr. Max Aue, a middle-class entrepreneur and family man in northern France, has a terrible secret. He used to be Obersturmfurher Aue of the SS. And through his eyes we experience the horrors of WWII and the Nazi genocide of the Jews. The author, an American Jew raised in France, pulls out all the stops, detailing Aue’s experiences in precise, unflinching detail as he is sent to the Ukraine, fights at the Battle of Stalingrad, is posted at Auschwitz, witnesses Berlin’s collapse and even pays a visit to the Fuhrerbunker.
Peopled by real figures like Eichmann, Himmler, Goring and Hitler himself, The Kindly Ones is one of the most ambitious novels we’ve seen in a long while. It’s an intense, hallucinatory and utterly original reading experience that you won’t soon forget.

The Inn at Angel Island: Angel Island #1



Thomas Kinkade
Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd., April 06, 2010
Review: The Inn at Angel Island begins an inspiring new series, Angel Island, by Thomas Kinkade and Katherine Spencer. And there’s plenty of room at this very special Inn—for new life and love.
It’s said that angels dwell on Angel’s Island who help guide the lost…sometimes right back to where they started. Liza Martin arrives to quickly sell the inn she and her brother inherited from their aunt, so she can rush back to her busy life in Boston. Selling it to the highest bidder is an easy decision, but the rest of her life is not so clear. A broken marriage and an unstable career as an advertising executive await her back home.
When Liza finds herself enjoying the quiet company of Claire North, her aunt’s long-time housekeeper, she begins second-guessing herself. Her doubts grow even more when she stumbles upon her aunt’s beautiful paintings, a passion Liza used to share years before. And then there’s Daniel Merritt, the handyman whose wit and charm intrigue her.
Liza can’t deny that the people of Angel’s Island have caused her to notice that her life is flying by…and going nowhere. There’s much to resolve before her departure—and it’s going to take a band of angels to redirect her aching heart.

Hero


The Life and Legend of Lawrence of Arabia
Michael Korda
Publisher: Harper Collins Publishers, November 16, 2010
Review: With his sun-burnished blond looks and flowing white robes, Lawrence of Arabia became one of the most intriguing figures of the 20th century. But who was he, really? Did his exploits live up to his fame?
In Hero, Michael Korda, the bestselling author of Ike, draws on declassified material to bring us a gripping—and extensively illustrated—portrait of the man behind the myth. The illegitimate son of a British aristocrat, T.E. Lawrence went to Cairo as an intelligence officer in 1916, vanished into the desert and re-emerged as the most colorful figure of World War I. His accomplishments are staggering. Seemingly impervious to pain and fatigue, he was a soldier of great originality, a master of explosives, a genius at guerrilla warfare, a brilliant writer and a visionary. Even though he was a foreigner, he was able to unite the Arab tribes and lead them to victory against the Turks, eventually capturing Damascus.
Perhaps most intriguing is Korda’s account of Lawrence’s post-war work in the Middle East as he drew the borders of what is now Jordan and Iraq and tried to create a joint Arab/Zionist state in Palestine. The failure to implement his vision still shakes the world today.

The Battle of the Crater



Newt Gingrich
Publisher: St. Martin's Press, Llc, November 08, 2011
Review: The Union’s plan was as brilliant as it was audacious. To finally break the stalemate between North and South, they would tunnel under Fort Pegram, breach it with explosives and rush in with the new, battle-hungry African-American division.
In The Battle of the Crater, bestselling authors Newt Gingrich and William R. Forstchen explore this little-known battle to shed light on the anxieties of a president desperate to save the Union, the bureaucratic infighting waged by his commanders and the aspirations of the newly trained African-American troops. The battleground drama unfolds through the eyes of James Reilly—famed artist, correspondent and friend of Lincoln—and he sees it all: the ingenious tunneling toward the fort, the suicide charges, the chaos of battle, and the egotism and incompetence that turned the tide of the battle.
A thrilling historical novel that’s rich in battlefield drama and political intrigue, The Battle of the Crater is Gingrich and Forstchen’s most compelling fact-based work yet. Presenting little-known facts drawn from the court of inquiry held after the attack, it’s an eye-opening look at a nearly forgotten confrontation that almost ended the Civil War.

For Pearl, this is a disaster, and—terrified for her daughter’s safety—she follows Joy to the country she left so long ago. In their own ways, these two come face-to-face with their guilt-ridden past, but even as their separate journeys converge, one of the most tragic episodes in China’s history will threaten their very lives.

Review: Most people don’t know who Michele Bachmann really is, so she decided to tell her story in Core of Conviction and let readers decide.
She became “an accidental politician” when a state-mandated education curriculum stressed political correctness over academic excellence.

She speaks from the heart about limited government, the sanctity of life and marriage, free enterprise and the need to confront America’s enemies.
This book will show you why Michele believes ordinary people can take on the establishment—and win—just as she has done.

Churchill's Empire


The World That Made Him and the World He Made
Richard Toye
Publisher: Henry Holt & Company, Inc., August 01, 2010
Review: Review by Edward B. Segel
In his radio address in early February 1952 on the death of King George VI and the accession of the young Queen Elizabeth, Winston Churchill referred to his own youth, “passed in the august, unchallenged, and tranquil glories of the Victorian Era.” So it seemed in Churchill’s romantic retrospective, with the Victorian Empire at its apparent apogee. But as Richard Toye makes clear in this illuminating study of Churchill’s life and his relationship with the Empire, with which he so closely identified himself, the story is much more complicated, ambiguous and interesting.
We usually see Churchill as an unreconstructed Victorian imperialist, with accompanying racist attitudes—and in some respects he was. But Toye’s view is much more nuanced than this traditional, somewhat one-dimensional picture (even than Churchill’s own self-portrayal); there are complexities, inconsistencies, changes over Churchill’s long career that are usually neglected. Toye uses an impressive array of private and public documentary sources to shed much useful light on British imperial history: “This book does not adopt a purely biographical approach but explores Churchill’s career within the context of the experiences and opinions of his contemporaries. It looks at attitudes and ideas as well as events and policies; crucially, it also examines the way in which Churchill was perceived and his messages understood not only in Britain but throughout the empire.
In all this Toye is very balanced and fair-minded—he is out neither to rehabilitate nor to deflate Churchill. He carefully weighs the early influences on Winston’s imperial thought, like his schooling at Harrow; or his father Lord Randolph, whose Victorian imperialist and racist attitudes seemed to accept racial equality (at least theoretically); or Winston’s early Social Darwinism. The very term “Victorian” needs greater precision: “No homogeneous view of Empire existed in late-Victorian Britain”; and Churchill himself became more “Victorian” only in the 1920s.
As Churchill’s career went on, he clearly moved to the right on issues of Empire—or rather, here as elsewhere, the world moved, while Churchill tended to stay behind: “It was this absence of a positive agenda, rather than his continued belief in Empire as such, that increasingly marked him out as a reactionary during the remainder of the inter-war years.” Churchill’s complete opposition to concessions to Indian self-government made him seem more of a die-hard imperialist than even Rudyard Kipling.
In his last decades Churchill tried to confront the “unpalatable fact” of the Empire’s inevitable decline as a result of the World Wars, economic strains and the rise of the Cold War superpowers; in a sense the downward course of the Empire was mirrored in his own life. But Toye has a more positive conclusion. Citing Nelson Mandela, he sees the Atlantic Charter of 1941 and similar declarations as inspiring many postwar liberation movements. Churchill, no doubt without intending it, “helped unlock the forces of anti-colonialism. The spirit of freedom…escaped the bounds he would have set on it”—perhaps providing, ironically against Churchill’s own vision, another of his great legacies.

Antonia fears her husband, Griff, an angry man given to drunken rages, could be involved. Suddenly it seems her decision to stay in a troubled marriage could wind up costing more than her child’s voice. For both families, the weight of silence is heavy, as the truth is trapped by unspoken secrets.

How Our Cities Will Thrive in the Hotter Future
Matthew E. Kahn
Publisher: Basic Books Inc., September 07, 2010
Review: Cities are the engines of economic growth and the foundation of our prosperity. But as Earth warms, what will become of them? In Climatopolis, Matthew Kahn argues that they will adapt to hotter temperatures along with their populations. Taking us on a tour of the world’s cities from New York to L.A., Beijing to Mumbai, he offers an ingenious vision of our urban future.
By 2050, for example, San Diego’s sea level may rise 12 to 18 inches, and its average annual temperature may increase by 4.5° F. The region will require 37% more water although sources like the Colorado River will shrink 20% or more. The fire season will start earlier, and peak electricity demand will increase by more than 70%. Yet the problems faced by American cities are benign compared to those facing other regions. Climate change, says Kahn, is likely to increase urban density in the poorest parts of cities in less developed countries; this will bring with it the dangerous risk of contagion from infectious diseases such as cholera. Cities such as Dhaka, Jakarta, Manila, and Calcutta—each close to the sea, regularly hit with natural disasters, and already quite hot—may take the brunt of the blow.
Despite dire predictions, Kahn is ultimately optimistic. Although it is too late to reduce the trend toward higher temperatures, he sees cities overall continuing to operate through the 21st century. A huge opportunity exists for innovation that can meliorate the worst effects of warming; he suggests that manufacturers of more efficient air conditioning technologies that require less electricity than needed at present stand to make fortunes, while the engineering of new seawalls may mitigate mass flooding.
Climatopolis is a clear-eyed guide to the cities of tomorrow.

Small Favor


A Novel of the Dresden Files
Jim Butcher
Publisher: Roc/Imp of Nal Signet, April 01, 2008
Review: One of the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on the shelves” (Cinescape), The Dresden Files pits Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only professional wizard, against the supernatural offenders that plague his world. In this eagerly-awaited stand-alone novel, Harry has an adventure that will strain his skills and his loyaties to their limits.
Harry Dresden’s life finally seems to be calming down. The war between the White Council of wizards and the vampiric Red Court has reached an uneasy detente. No one has tried to kill him for almost an entire year, and the worst problem he’s had lately is trying to figure out how to remove the stains on his carpeting. But just as he’s getting used to this pint-measure of peace, the past comes back to take a long, cold draft of it.
An old bargain has put Harry in debt to Mab, the exquisitely beautiful—and exquisitely cruel—queen of the Winter Court of the Sidhe. Harry still owes Mab two favors, and it’s time to pay one of them off. Just one small favor he can’t refuse—and when he finally gets a job from the Chicago PD, he’ll find himself trapped between a nightmarish foe and an equally deadly ally.
It figures. Everything was going too well.

A Christmas Star


A Cape Light Novel
Thomas Kinkade
Publisher: Berkeley, October 01, 2008
Review: A note from Thomas Kinkade:
This year our friends in Cape Light will come to realize how great a role faith plays in one’s family, though the lessons won’t be easy...But perhaps a simple wish on a Christmas star can bring them together. Perhaps love can heal battered hearts and lift up weary spirit. Follow me to Cape Light, where the townspeople invite us into their homes year after year to enjoy the comfort and warmth of their friendship, their families, and their faith.”—Thomas Kinkade
There’s always room at the inn in Cape Light. But when hardships bring people together under one roof, things don’t always go smoothly.
Sam and Jessica Morgan’s holiday joy screeches to a halt when they lose their house to a fire. The loss weighs heavily on their marriage and, as tensions flare, they become perpetual guests in others’ homes. Meanwhile, single mom Julie Newton needs a roof over her head due to bad weather, a broken-down car and a dead cell phone. She and her daughter need Jack Baxter’s help, and Jack, still mourning the loss of his wife, can’t turn them away.
As the Morgans struggle to mend their marriage—and Jack’s heart melts with Julie’s presence—God’s grace blesses their lives.

The Hitler I Knew


Memoirs of the Third Reich's Press Chief
Otto Dietrich
Publisher: Skyhorse Publishing, May 01, 2010
Review: Journalist Otto Dietrich entered Adolf Hitler’s circle of confidants in 1931, through an introduction by Rudolf Hess. Two years later, Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany, and Dietrich served as Hitler’s press chief until 1945—he was dismissed only days before the ignominious deaths of Hitler and Eva Braun.
At the end of the war, imprisoned and disillusioned, Otto Dietrich wrote down what he had seen and heard in 12 years of close association with Hitler, to be published after his death. The remarkable result is The Hitler I Knew. The first half of the book recounts the rise and fall of Hitler as politician, ruler and military strategist—ground well trodden, but this time with the dictator’s confidant as our guide. The second half probes the personality of the enigmatic Fuhrer, “out of a thousand details of Hitler’s public and private life.
The author traces the beginning of Hitler’s despotic tendencies to the June 30, 1934, purge of the armed forces. Subsequently, protestations of peace were replaced by preparations for war, as Hitler’s “Anglophobia” increased and as he commenced his program of state-sponsored anti-Semitism (Dietrich exonerates his countrymen for the events of Kristallnacht, attributing them entirely to Hitler and claiming that “the overwhelming majority of the German people considered [the attacks] disgusting and shameful”). This is an example of a theme running throughout the book, as the author asserts that every one of Hitler’s decisions was unilateral, without input or counsel from advisers. Clearly emerging is the portrait of a leader who, years before attaining power, had such confidence that he would command the nation that he had already drawn up detailed policy statements and massive construction plans.
Ultimately, Dietrich characterizes the Fuhrer as “a demonic personality obsessed by racial delusions” and a singular lust for power that trumped any desire for riches or personal comforts. In Dietrich’s judgment, such delusions blinded Hitler to the evil of his actions.
Without question, Dietrich remained an apologist for the aspects of National Socialism that he found more palatable. He suggests repeatedly that the racist aspects of the ideology were not integral to the whole, and he ascribes benevolent motives to many of the regime’s early actions. Nevertheless, he acknowledges the harm done by his work as a publicist for the dictator and in his 1933 hagiography, With Hitler on the Road to Power, and the toll the work incurred on Dietrich’s conscience. Thus, he seeks here to “dispel the last shreds of glamour from the myth of Hitler.” While the present work cannot excuse Dietrich’s involvement, his direct, personal experience of life at the heart of the Reich makes for compelling reading.

Your Brain on Food


How Chemicals Control Your Thoughts and Feelings
Gary L. Wenk
Publisher: Oxford University Press, July 30, 2010
Review: Why is eating chocolate so pleasurable? Why does drinking alcohol make you drowsy? Can eating less food preserve your mental acuity? Everything we put into our bodies can affect how our neurons behave and, consequently, how we think, feel and act. In Your Brain on Food, Gary Wenk examines what neuroscientists currently know about the actions of specific drugs and food in the brain.
The author introduces several neurotransmitter systems and explores how substances ranging from nuts to mushrooms to recreational drugs can influence them. For example, the plant henbane, which killed King Hamlet, contains atropine and scopolamine, which affect the autonomic nervous system. An overdose of henbane leads to the loss of control of one’s diaphragm, causing death by asphyxiation, or from cardiac arrest. Much more commonly observed is the anti-drowsiness effect of the caffeine in our coffee. We see how this substance acts on our acetylcholine neurons in a way that blocks the onset of drowsiness and sleep. In other sections of the book, Wenk describes the specific neural changes activated by the intake of marijuana, LSD, cocaine, amphetamine, the nut of the areca palm tree, and many other stimulants and depressants.
Wenk also discusses the role of the brain in certain experiences such as hallucinations, religiosity, pain and the aging process, and the extent to which these experiences are influenced by what we consume. For example, the myth that witches can fly may have been inspired by hallucinogenic substances that female occultists traditionally ingested and that produced in them a sensation of flying.
Your Brain on Food provides vivid evidence that indeed we are, in a very fundamental set of ways, what we eat.

Machiavelli



Miles Unger
Publisher: Simon & Schuster, June 21, 2011
Review: In the nearly 500 years since his death, Niccolo Machiavelli has almost always been cast in the role of the villain. Where Realpolitik might be acceptable in some diplomatic circles, Machiavellianism is rejected outright. Yet in other contexts Machiavelli has gained a certain cachet. Individuals looking to project a no-nonsense attitude will find it handy to invoke his name. Business books dispensing advice on how to get an edge over the competition often claim insights derived from Machiavelli’s writings.
Machiavelli’s name has become associated not only with a particular approach to politics but with a particular type of personality. To many, Machiavellianism is little more than an endorsement of underhanded and immoral behavior. “This largely inaccurate, or at least simplistic, interpretation is a function of his pragmatism, an approach that offends those who insist that morality should be based on something more ethereal,” contends historian Miles J. Unger. In the enlightening Machiavelli, Unger turns a discerning eye to the important—and notoriously misunderstood—Florentine thinker.
From 1498 to 1512, Machiavelli served as Secretary to the Second Chancery of the Republic of Florence. A series of political disasters led to the overthrow of the Republic by the Medici and Machiavelli’s dismissal from office. In 1513 he was implicated in a plot to overthrow the new regime. Thrown into prison, he was periodically tortured by his captors in attempt to extract a confession. Machiavelli admitted nothing. After three weeks, he was released.
Machiavelli wrote his most famous work, The Prince, after being barred from government service. The book, which argues that the ends (glory and survival) justify the immoral means used to achieve them, is considered to be one of the first works of political philosophy. The Prince ignited controversy for appearing to promote unethical behavior. Some modern scholars consider the work to be a satire, along the lines of Swift’s A Modest Proposal.
Those who view Machiavelli as an apologist for tyranny tend to focus on The Prince, while ignoring passages in The Discourses where he clearly states that the seizure of dictatorial powers is legitimate only when the normal tools of government have failed to meet a crisis. “The misuse of Machiavelli derives in part from his approach, which is aphoristic and epigrammatic rather than systematic,” explains Unger. “His fondness for memorable phrases and lack of an overall program has allowed readers to pick and choose what they wish from his writings without fear of contradiction.
Authoritative yet accessible, Machiavelli is an important biography of a man whose writings have outraged and inspired generations of readers.

The Kitchen House



Kathleen Grissom
Publisher: Touchstone/Imp Simon & Schuster, February 02, 2010
Review: A debut novel of uncommon skill, Kathleen Grissom’s The Kitchen House is a beautifully written, emotionally wrenching coming-of-age story—set on a Virginia plantation during the late 18th century—that sheds new perspective on an often forgotten part of our history.
It is 1790, and Lavinia, a 7-year-old girl, has just come off a ship from Ireland with no parents and no memory of her past. Taken to a tobacco plantation, she’s quickly put to work as an indentured servant, living with the kitchen house slaves under the care of Belle, the master’s illegitimate daughter. Soon, Lavinia becomes deeply bonded with her new family, even though she realizes that she’s forever set apart by her white skin. But as time passes and she slowly gains acceptance into the big house, she finds herself caught in uncharted territory, straddling two very different worlds that neither trust nor understand the other. Marrying the master’s troubled son—and taking on the role of mistress—only makes things worse. Now, as her two worlds collide, long-standing loyalties are torn, hidden truths are laid bare and a shocking act of violence forever changes the deceptive peace of the plantation.

Living as a Christian


Teachings From First Peter
A.W. Tozer
Publisher: Regal Books, August 01, 2009
Review: What is a Christian? The contemporary scene is flooded with all kinds of ideas of what it means, most taken from the culture around us. In Living as a Christian, a never-before published collection of teachings on 1 Peter, A.W. Tozer examines what being a Christian, and to live out that role in one’s daily life, really means.
Living as a Christian, adapted from sermons given to Dr. Tozer’s parishioners, develops the theme of salvation as God’s master plan for mankind. In Dr. Tozer’s view, to be a recipient of God’s salvation is to be able to withstand anything and everything that seeks to undermine our faith. The epistle of 1 Peter was written to a group of just such Christians, to encourage them to live in the center of God’s redeeming love, in spite of persecution and hardship. The differences between believers and non-believers are examined, as are our relation to government and authority, standing firm against false teaching and much more.
Each of us, as Christians, has a specific destiny to fulfill. Discovering that destiny and fulfilling it in the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit is the joy of our daily walk with Christ…and A.W. Tozer points the way.

Unfamiliar Fishes



Sarah Vowell
Publisher: Riverhead Bks/Mbr Of Penguin Putnam, March 22, 2011
Review: A lot of people consider 1776 the defining year of American history. In Unfamiliar Fishes, Sarah Vowell argues that 1898 was actually the most defining. It is the year that the U.S. annexed Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Guam, and invaded Cuba and the Philippines, becoming an international superpower almost overnight.
She considers the Americanization of Hawaii the most fascinating: New England missionaries arrived in 1820, trying to Christianize the local heathen, and eventually overthrowing the Hawaiian queen. The cast of characters is beguiling: sugar barons, lepers, con artists, Theodore Roosevelt and more. With her trademark wit, Vowell discovers the exceptional history of the 50th state—and finds America, warts and all.

The Great Decision


Jefferson, Adams, Marshall, and the Battle for the Supreme Court
Cliff Sloan
Publisher: Public Affairs, March 02, 2009
Review: In 1800, the United States teetered on the brink of a second revolution. The new capital in Washington was in shambles. The presidential election between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson was a bitterly contested tie—and the government was on the verge of collapse. Tellingly, the Supreme Court had no clear purpose or power—and, symbolically, no one had even thought to build it a courtroom in the new capital city. It would take one man to make good the power of the Court, and America found him in Chief Justice John Marshall. In The Great Decision, Cliff Sloan and David McKean tell the story of Marshall and of the landmark court case, Marbury v. Madison, through which he fought for the Founding Fathers’ vision of a nation ruled by laws, and transformed the idea of the separation of powers into a working blueprint for our modern state.
The nation’s disorder was mirrored in the Court’s predicament. Of the first six Supreme Court justices, two had quit to pursue better careers as governors, one died in a debtor’s prison, and one was invalidated by a mysterious ringing between his ears. Merely fourteen years after the adoption of the Constitution in 1787, the Supreme Court’s powers were completely uncharted. The Court had never set aside a law as unconstitutional—and some strongly maintained that the Court had no such power. The new Constitution provided only that the Court “had the judicial Power of the United States,” but did not explicitly define that “Power.” “[T]his pretended power of the Courts to annul the laws of Congress,” thundered Senator John Breckenridge of Kentucky, “cannot possibly exist….
John Adams’s last act before conceding power to Jefferson was to try to prolong his policies—in defiance of the electorate—by packing the courts with Federalist sympathizers, a blatant piece of political fixing that the words of the Constitution could not prevent. The issue came to a head when James Madison, Jefferson’s Secretary of State, blocked Adams’s appointment of William Marbury to the bench—and Adams responded by suing.
The newly Jeffersonian Congress shut down the Supreme Court for a year, in an effort to make the suit disappear. Both Adams’s Whigs and Jefferson’s Republicans had behaved with scant regard to the law. But Chief Justice Marshall determined that the separation of powers between three institutions would be upheld, and would rule that the Court had the power to overrule both Congress and the President. With this one decision, Marshall changed the nature of American public life and power forever.
The story of how Marshall came to make and uphold his momentous decision is a compelling tale of guile and intrigue, rich in atmospheric detail and fascinating characters, and one of lasting importance to the rule of law in the land.

Review: Photographer Skyler Quinn likes what she sees when she first fixes her lens on cowboy Trace Wolf Track, but as a young widow struggling with debts, she quickly puts him out of her mind. At first, anyway. Suddenly, she’s seeing him all over the place—the rodeo, the Double D Wild Horse Sanctuary—and before she knows it, casual interest soon turns into white-hot passion!
Written by Kathleen Eagle, Cowboy, Take Me Away is a sassy, spicy romance that’s sure to capture your heart. Even as Skyler falls for her sexy cowboy, she knows she has to make some decisions. Is Trace a fatal distraction, a mere summer fling? Or does this younger man—so deep, so passionate—hold the key to a future that would make all her dreams come true?
