Amelia Earhart (1897-1937) captured the hearts of America after
becoming the first woman to fly across the Atlantic in 1928. Nine
years later, her disappearance on an around-the-world flight
brought her extraordinary life to an abrupt and mysterious
end.Based on a decade of archival research through Earhart's
letters, journals, and diaries, and drawing on interviews with the
aviator's friends and relatives, East to the Dawn provides the most
authoritative and richly textured account of both Earhart's
record-setting aviation career and her personal life: her early
years with her grandparents, her experiences as a nurse and social
worker, her famous marriage to publisher George Putnam, and her
secret affair with Gene Vidal, head of the Bureau of Air Commerce.
As the Los Angeles Times raved, East to the Dawn is a "fully
realized portrait of a truly remarkable woman."
Many Christians desire a deeper walk with God, but feel they are
too busy to add one more thing to their schedules. Because time is
valuable and reading God's Word consistently takes strong
discipline, First Fruits offers a condensed explanation of specific
Scripture passages for all 365 days of the year. The Scripture and
the Scripture reference is printed on each page. It's easy to open
up to a single one to share a moment with God,and perhaps, change
the course of your day.First Fruits is written in the first person
of God, allowing you to understand Scripture as if inconversation
with Him. God wants nothing more than to have a personal, intimate
relationship with each soul He created. This relationship is
achieved through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, and then
believing in and depending upon the indwelling of the Holy
Spirit.In First Fruits, delve into not only the grace of God, but
everyday issues thought by some to be too mundane for God. You will
learn what God's desires are for your speech, attitude, faith,
obedience, discipline, stewardship, acts of love, and trust in Him.
You will understand the security you have as a Believer, the power
and sovereignty of God, the End Times, what to expect in Heaven,
and so much more!
This book is a Kickstarter funded collaborative effort that started
2012. Our goal was to write an easy to understand book about the
cloud that covered the philosophy that underlies it. We wrote this
book so that it would be accessible to everyone. Food trailers
swiping credit cards on their smart phones. Arab revolutionaries
toppling dictators with Twitter and Facebook. And entrepreneurs
running their entire businesses from an iPad. We wrote this
manifesto to explore an exciting world propelled by disruptive
innovation.

Dreary, desolate, shrouded. And most unnerving of all, forbidden.
Such was the bizarre circumstance surrounding the north wing of
Rochester Manor, as Abigail was about to discover. Late in the
summer of 1887, shortly after her 19th birthday, Abigail Parker's
life took an unforeseen turn. Although she wasn't looking for love,
it found her in the form of a handsome, wealthy stranger who swept
her off her feet, and soon she would embark upon a journey filled
with the promise of bliss. Exciting though it was, it was also
daunting for her to enter into a lifestyle she was ill-equipped to
handle. While this fact was evident, no one could have prepared her
for the true challenge she was to face, and the staggering secret
waiting to be unearthed in The North Wing.

In the midst of the crises of the Second World War, Roosevelt and
Stalin secretly exchanged three hundred letters, published together
now for the first time My Dear Mr. Stalin is the first publication
that contains the complete correspondence between Franklin D.
Roosevelt and Joseph V. Stalin. This collection of more than three
hundred hot-war messages, never before fully available in any
language, is an invaluable primary source for understanding the
relationship that developed between these two great world leaders
during a time of supreme world crisis. The correspondence, secret
at the time, begins with a letter Roosevelt wrote to Stalin
offering aid to the Soviet Union following Hitler's surprise attack
in 1941. It ends with a message that was an attempt to minimize the
differences between the two leaders, approved by Roosevelt only
minutes before his death in 1945. The book traces the evolution of
their unique relationship, revealing the statesmanship of the two
men and their thinking about the grave events of their time. An
informative introduction to the volume and generous annotations set
the letters in context.
