Book excerpt: A masterful political thriller from the author of Shining City thrusts veteran Washington fixers Peter Rena and Randi Brooks into a dark world of cyberattacks, a new era of foreign espionage, and a risky, classified plan to save the world from environmental disaster Billionaire entrepreneur David Traynor has big dreams for fixing a broken government in his first term as president of the United States. In the months before his inauguration, he’s developed daring and, in some cases, secret strategies to solve the climate crisis, force Congress to work again, and rebuild America’s economy—and that’s just the beginning. Everyone in the capital is scrambling to adapt to the new disruptor in chief’s bold agenda, though many, both at home and abroad, also want to see Traynor and his steely vice president, Wendy Upton, fail. Unsure of whom he can trust, Traynor intends to turn to an unusual group of people to advise him, including the savvy and sometimes ruthless DC fixers Peter Rena and Randi Brooks. Though he is at the height of his career, Rena finds his world in chaos. His personal life is a mess; he wonders if his work—saving powerful people from their mistakes—has become too cynical. When malicious, untraceable cyberattacks related to his past start seeping from the dark corners of the internet, Rena’s doubts overwhelm him. Then an unpredictable tragedy throws the country into crisis, and he must come out of his stupor. If Rena wants to help the new president salvage American politics, he will first have to reckon with his own demons and come to grips with a world far different from the one he once believed in. With the government and the country polarized and on the cusp of enormous change, Tom Rosenstiel’s The Days to Come is a clever, gripping thriller and a cogent meditation on how to heal a divided country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The saga of the Logan family--made famous in the Newbery Medal-winning Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry--concludes in a deeply fulfilling story, now available in paperback. In her tenth book, Mildred Taylor completes her sweeping saga about the Logan family of Mississippi, which is also the story of the civil rights movement in America of the 20th century. Cassie Logan, first met in Song of the Trees and Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, is a young woman now, searching for her place in the world, a journey that takes her from Toledo to California, to law school in Boston, and, ultimately, in the 60s, home to Mississippi to participate in voter registration. She is witness to the now-historic events of the century: the Great Migration north, the rise of the civil rights movement, preceded and precipitated by the racist society of America, and the often violent confrontations that brought about change. Rich, compelling storytelling is Ms. Taylor's hallmark, and she fulfills expectations as she brings to a close the stirring family story that has absorbed her for over forty years. It is a story she was born to tell.
Download or read book In Days to Come written by Avraham Burg and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The first childhood memory I have of my father is linked to the destruction of empires--the collapse of a world order that had once seemed eternal." So begins Avraham Burg's authoritative and deeply personal inquiry into the ambitions and failures of Israel and Judaism worldwide. Born in 1955, Burg witnessed firsthand many of the most dramatic and critical moments in Israeli history. Here, he chronicles the highs and lows of his country over the last five decades, threading his own journey into the story of his people. He explores the misplaced hopes of religious Zionism through the lens of his conservative upbringing, explains Israel's obsession with military might while relating his own experiences as a paratrooper officer, and probes the country's democratic aspirations, informed by his tenure in the Knesset. With bravery and candor, Burg lays bare the seismic intellectual shifts that drove the country's political and religious journeys, offering a prophecy of fury and consolation and a vision for a new comprehensive paradigm for Judaism, Israel, and the Middle East.

Maybe God fills our days with lots of reminders to come running back to him for help--not so we'll spend our days full of frustration and tears, but so we'll end our days closer and closer to him. This is the heartbeat behind Come to Jesus. A collection of ways God has brought me closer to him through times of unbelief, loneliness, and uncertainty plus a call for you to bring your hard back to the One who gave it to you. Because maybe that was his purpose in giving it to you all along--not to see how much you can carry but to display his glory and strength as he carries you. ENDORSEMENTS "We need constant reminders that, in everything, we can go to Jesus. I'm grateful for Christa's helpful and beautiful call to do just that through the pages of this book." --Christine Hoover, author of Searching for Spring "This small book has rooted itself in my heart, and since reading it, I've stopped in my wrong-way track more than once to remind myself to run to Jesus with my fears, doubts, sorrows, and temptations." --Claudia Barba, author of Sovereign Hope "Are you lonely? Overwhelmed? Battling unbelief? In this book, Christa speaks to women of all ages in a refreshingly simple yet profound style. She offers a glimpse into her own life to communicate the convincing message that you can and should come to Jesus regardless of who you are or where you find yourself in life." --Gretchen Fant, speaker, counselor, and veteran pastor's wife "At this point in history, things look bleak for so many. And at this point in history, there are so many voices telling us how to fix our lives so that things will not look so bleak. Never before have we needed wise women to say it over and over again: Come to Jesus. He is the author. Come to Jesus, He is the fixer. Come to Jesus, He is the comfort. You'll love this gentle and timely word from Christa and it will leave you wanting more of Jesus, and knowing exactly where to find Him." --Jess Connolly, coauthor of Wild and Free and author of Dance Stand Run
