A startling, gripping portrait of what it was like to be alive in Britain during the blitz, and what it was like to be around Churchill.
On Winston Churchill’s first day as prime minister, Hitler invaded Holland and Belgium. Poland and Czechoslovakia had already fallen, and the Dunkirk evacuation was just two weeks away. For the next twelve months, the Nazis would wage a relentless bombing campaign, killing 45,000 Britons and destroying two million homes.
In The Splendid and the Vile, Erik Larson gives a new and brilliantly cinematic account of how Britain’s most iconic leader set about unifying the nation at its most vulnerable moment, and teaching ‘the art of being fearless.’
Drawing on once-secret intelligence reports and diaries, #1 bestselling author Larson takes readers from the shelled streets of London to Churchill’s own chambers, giving a vivid vision of true leadership, when – in the face of unrelenting horror – a leader of eloquence, strategic brilliance and perseverance bound a country, and a family, together.

New attention from historians and journalists is raising pointed
questions about the founding period: was the American revolution
waged to preserve slavery, and was the Constitution a pact with
slavery or a landmark in the antislavery movement? Leaders of the
founding who called for American liberty are scrutinized for
enslaving Black people themselves: George Washington consistently
refused to recognize the freedom of those who escaped his Mount
Vernon plantation. And we have long needed a history of the
founding that fully includes Black Americans in the Revolutionary
protests, the war, and the debates over slavery and freedom that
followed. We now have that history in Edward J. Larson’s
insightful synthesis of the founding. With slavery thriving in
Britain’s Caribbean empire and practiced in all of the American
colonies, the independence movement’s calls for liberty proved
narrow, though some Black observers and others made their full
implications clear. In the war, both sides employed strategies to
draw needed support from free and enslaved Blacks, whose responses
varied by local conditions. By the time of the Constitutional
Convention, a widening sectional divide shaped the fateful
compromises over slavery that would prove disastrous in the coming
decades. Larson’s narrative delivers poignant moments that deepen
our understanding: we witness New York’s tumultuous welcome of
Washington as liberator through the eyes of Daniel Payne, a Black
man who had escaped enslavement at Mount Vernon two years before.
Indeed, throughout Larson’s brilliant history it is the voices of
Black Americans that prove the most convincing of all on the
urgency of liberty.
Your Mind Is the Devil's Playground Here's the truth: The devil
can't beat you on even ground. So he creeps his way into your mind,
weaving words and situations into lies you take as truth: I'm a
failure. Something's wrong with me. God's mad at me. Nobody cares
about me. These devil-crafted lies create the emotional,
psychological and spiritual conflicts that rob you of your
God-given purpose. Yet you can win these battles. Here are the
biblical tools you need to recognize the sour, subtle voice of the
Accuser. Once you do, you will see his toxic thought-patterns and
destructive lies for the slander they are. And you will say with
unshakable confidence and courage: "Shut up, devil!" "In this
insightful message, my friend Kyle Winkler exposes the lies of the
enemy and empowers us to fight back. If you've ever wrestled with
the accusations of the devil, then this book will equip you to shut
him up."--JOHN BEVERE, bestselling author and co-founder of
Messenger International and MessengerX "I'm thrilled about Kyle's
new book. Using biblical wisdom, neuroscience and his own
experience in battle, Kyle will help you silence the enemy's
taunts, break free from the lies that bind you and live life with
bold, humble faith."--SUSIE LARSON, talk radio host, bestselling
author and national speaker

Heaven on the Half Shell offers a thoroughly researched and richly
illustrated history of the Pacific Northwest’s beloved bivalve,
the oyster. Starting with the earliest evidence of sea gardens and
clam beds from 11,500 years ago, this book covers the history of
oyster cultivation through contemporary aquaculture in coastal
Washington, Oregon, British Columbia, northern California, and
southeastern Alaska. Generations of oyster farmers, Native and
non-Native, have weathered many challenges to continue the harvest.
Their vivid individual accounts are braided together with
significant history, such as the major contributions of Japanese
immigrants prior to World War II and the 1994 Rafeedie decision
that affirmed shellfish harvesting rights held by Northwest tribes.
The book also sheds light on the innovations that made oysters an
enduringly popular food, from the creation of so-called sexless
oysters that could be consumed year-round to breakthroughs in
contemporary oyster cuisine. Now fully updated and expanded—and
chock-full of “oysterabilia”—this classic text shares new
insights on emerging challenges to the oyster farmer’s life as
well as increased coverage of the roles of women and contemporary
tribes in building this cultural tradition, past and present.
Newcomers and aficionados alike will also be delighted by the
carefully selected recipes, both historic and contemporary, from
the region’s top chefs. As the old saying goes, when the tide is
out, the table is set.
God is omnipresent—meaning He's here, there, everywhere all at
the same time—so no matter what you're going through today or
worried about facing tomorrow, He is closer than you can imagine,
and His presence changes everything. The God of creation cares
deeply about every detail of our personal lives. He's in charge of
every galaxy and has named every star. He also knows about the
hurts in our hearts and the hairs on our heads. He's near and far.
His glory fills the universe, and yet He's up close and involved.
Though we believe in our minds that God is all-powerful,
all-knowing, and all-present, sometimes we don't feel his
closeness. How can we walk boldly in our faith, expecting Him to
draw near to us as we draw near to Him, as promised in the book of
James? In Closer Than Your Next Breath, bestselling author,
speaker, and radio host Susie Larson helps readers experience God's
trustworthiness and love—even when they feel far from Him. In
this book, readers will explore these questions and more:
How do I know if I'm hearing the voice of God? Is feeling good the
same as feeling God? Is there anything I can do when God seems
silent? How should God's presence impact me? There's
nothing like God's presence in our lives, but sometimes we chase
the sensational and miss the supernatural. Worship services,
retreats or conferences, and mountaintop experiences are great, but
too often we rush right by the nuanced, miraculous ways God shows
up in our story every day. When we pursue the heart of God through
the Word of God, that's when we experience the presence of
God—and it makes all the difference in our lives.
