With the passion, erudition, and irrepressible wit that have become his signature, Eric Metaxas's REVOLUTION: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World brings the epic of America's birth to life so fully that you will feel you are a part of the story, which is precisely the point. By turns deeply moving, gripping, and spectacularly entertaining, these are the stories every American must know, including some of history's noblest heroes-and some despicable villains.REVOLUTION also touches on the role that sacrifice, character, and faith played in the great struggle for "the Sacred Cause" of liberty. George Washington, John Adams, Nathan Hale, Henry Knox, Horatio Gates, Israel Putnam, Benedict Arnold and many others all come to life for a new generation of Americans.At more than 500 pages-with photos, maps, and illustrations-REVOLUTION is definitive and sweeping, an astonishing epic containing a dazzling array of stories, ranging from the explosive events that led up to Lexington and Concord, all the way through the impossible twists and turns of the war itself-including the Battle of Bunker Hill, the Crossing of the Delaware, Saratoga, and the bitter winter at Valley Forge-all the way to the final victory in Yorktown and "The World Turned Upside Down."Unless we ourselves know the true story of the Revolution-what some have called America's "founding myth"-we cannot play the role we are meant to play in the Revolution that still continues today.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Can a skunk and a raccoon get stuck together?  You know!  I saw it on TV, should we believe it?  Plus…why are so many morning radio teams checking out of the business?   I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

When I entered this forest in 1992 my heart wasn't focused on the present. The calling was to put myself in 2040. How often do we put ourselves in a position of exploration and never take the time to see what the invisible visionaries put into play decades before your arrival? Can you spot the fingerprint of one who foresaw longevity?

Mandy Gonzalez Sings Lin-Manuel Miranda.A Broadway powerhouse known for her starring roles in Sunset Blvd, Wicked, Hamilton, and In the Heights, Mandy debuted this show at Carnegie Hall to a standing ovation and rave feedback from both audiences and Lin-Manuel Miranda himself (see attached). She’s bringing the production to select cities nationwide this year, and I’d love to set up an interview for Mandy to speak about the show and collaboration with Lin! Everything I Know is a symphonic concert experience celebrating Miranda’s iconic music—from Hamilton, In the Heights, Moana, Encanto, and The Little Mermaid to rarely performed gems like 21 Chump Street and “Delivery.” As one of Miranda’s earliest collaborators, Mandy brings a uniquely personal perspective and emotional depth to the material. It won’t take long to understand exactly why Lin-Manuel Miranda praises Mandy Gonzalez as “...one of the greatest singers on earth.”Mandy and Lin first met in 2004 and have collaborated for over 20 years. After years of concert performances, Mandy saw growing audience demand for a full symphonic experience of his work and partnered with Lin to create this show.

What does love look like in life's later chapters? In this tender, mischievous new collection of poetry, Zack Rogow answers with the hard-won wisdom of a man newly single in his senior years. “After being with the same person for over three decades, I found my life upside down, dating again after the age of 65,” says Rogow, a teacher, playwright, poet, and translator. “I went on over 75 first dates and tried every-which-way to meet someone that I could feel a loving connection with. Luckily, I did, but it was not easy.” Rogow adds: “I didn’t succeed in finding a long-term partner by dating online. I finally met my current partner through our mutual interest in French literature.

Best known for Fantastic Fungi, Louie combines breathtaking slow-motion cinematography, time-lapse photography, and meditative storytelling to create calming visual experiences designed to reduce stress and reconnect viewers with nature. Louie launched the new season, which journeys through landscapes from the Andes to Antarctica.
