Summary:

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

This may just be the single most important book on modern Evangelicalism in recent years. It is bold, clear, and very well-researched.John MacArthur

''Some will quibble over details, but no one should miss the powerful warning in this book. We face a gathering storm, as Winston Churchill warned a century ago, but this time the enemy is inside as well as outside the gates. Every convinced and unashamed Evangelical should read, ponder, and pray over this important book.''Os Guinness

How deeply have leftist billionaires infiltrated Americas churches?

In Shepherds for Sale, Megan Basham of the Daily Wire documents how progressive powerbrokers from George Soros, to the founder of eBay, to former members of the Obama administration set out to change the American church. Their goal: to co-opt evangelicals for political purposes. She exposes:

        The left-wing billionaires, foundations, and think tanks that deliberately target Christian media, universities, megachurches, nonprofits, and even entire denominations

        The celebrity megachurch pastor who secretly encouraged a group of pastors to change their views on sexuality

        The revered Presbyterian theologian who backed a congregation rebelling against his own denomination

These are just a glimpse into the compromises and astroturf campaigns Basham uncovers. Many evangelical leaders are pushing their members to whisper about sexual sins, reconsider the importance of abortion, lament the effects of climate change, and repent of perpetuating systemic racism. And in exchange for toeing a left-wing line, many of those church leaders and institutions have received cash, career jumps, prestige, and praise. Basham brings the receipts, and names names.

A rigorously reported exposé, Shepherds for Sale is a warning of what happens when the church trusts the worlds wisdom instead of Scripture.

Language: English

Release date: 07-16-24

Publisher: HarperCollins

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Ancient Civilizations, Military, History & Culture

Summary:

A heart-pounding, mind-bending adventure. Ilyon Woo

A riveting biography of Alexander the Greats final years, when the leaders insatiable desire to conquer the world set him off on an exhilarating, harrowing journey that would define his legacy.  

By 330 B.C.E., Alexander the Great had reached the pinnacle of success. Or so it seemed. He had defeated the Persian ruler Darius III and seized the capital city of Persepolis. His exhausted and traumatized soldiers were ready to return home to Macedonia. Yet Alexander had other plans. He was determined to continue heading east to Afghanistan in search of his ultimate goal: to reach the end of the world. 

Alexanders unrelenting desire to press on resulted in a perilous seven-year journey through the unknown eastern borderlands of the Persian empire that would test the great conquerors physical and mental limits. He faced challenges from the natural world, moving through deadly monsoons and extreme temperatures; from a rotating cast of well-matched adversaries, who conspired against him at every turn; and even from his own men, who questioned his motives and distrusted the very beliefs on which Alexander built his empire. This incredible sweep of time, culminating with his death in 323 BC at the age of 32, would come to determine Alexanders legacy and shape the empire he left behind. 

In Alexander at the End of the World, renowned classicist and art history professor Rachel Kousser vividly brings to life Alexanders labyrinthine, treacherous final years, weaving together a brilliant series of epic battles, stunning landscapes, and nearly insurmountable obstacles. Meticulously researched and grippingly written, Koussers narrative is an unforgettable tale of daring and adventure, an inspiring portrait of grit and ambition, and a powerful meditation on the ability to learn from failure.

Full of enthralling tales of the miracles of engineering that permeate our lives, Stuff Matters will make you see stuff in a whole new way.

Title: Drop In: The Gender Rebels Who Changed the Face of Skateboarding

Author: Deborah Stoll

Narrator: Daru Oda, Deborah Stoll

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7:25:32

Language: English

Release date: 07-16-24

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Sports & Recreation, Biography & Memoir, Non-Fiction, Other, Social Science

Summary:

The bad*ss story of the female, queer, bi, and nonbinary skaters who charted a path to the Olympics and changed the face of skateboarding.

Who gets to tell the story of skateboarding? Drop In is the first book to recognize and historicize the female, queer, bi, and nonbinary humans who blazed the path that led to todays more equitable skate culture. It wasnt easy getting here.

Like the rest of the world, skateboarding has long been patriarchal. In the 70s, it personified the punk rock, lock-up-your-daughters, middle-finger-to-the-man ethos. In the 80s, it was Miami Vice soundtracks and parachute pants, neon graphics and fingerless gloves. In the 90s it was New York Citygraffiti, hip-hop, and skating in the street. Rarely did you see a womans name in a skate videoeither on a deck or behind the lens.

The four skateboarders at the heart of Drop In defied expectations of gender, talent, physical ability, and mental capacity to fight the status quo: Alana as the first openly nonbinary athlete in Olympic history; Vanessa as a record breaking runaway; Marbie as an accidental boundary-breaking trans icon; and Victoria as the skate rookie turned social media sensation. Drop In spotlights their paths from rebellious outsiders to recognized pioneers on the historic stage of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, where skateboarding made its debut. Their experiences reveal a side of skateboarding thats never been recorded, amplifying voices that have, for too long, gone unheard.
