The Innocent
A Vanessa Michael Munroe Novel
Taylor Stevens
The highly anticipated follow-up thriller to the bestselling The Informationist,
featuring Vanessa "Michael" Munroe.
Eight years ago, a man walked five-year-old Hannah out the front doors of her
school and spirited her over the Mexican border, taking her into the world of a cult
known as The Chosen. For eight years, followers of The Prophet have hidden the
child, moving her from country to country, shielding the man who stole her. Now,
those who've searched the longest know where to find her. They are childhood
survivors of The Chosen, 30-somethings born and raised inside the cult who've
managed to make a life for themselves on the outside. They understand the
mind-set, the culture within that world, and turn to Vanessa Michael Munroe for
help, knowing that the only possibility of stealing Hannah back and getting her
safely out of Argentina is to trust someone who doesn't trust them, and get
Munroe on the inside.
Tautly written, brilliantly paced, and with the same evocation of the exotic
combined with chilling violence that made The Informationist such a success, The
Innocent confirms Taylor Stevens's reputation as a thriller writer of the first rank.

Glock
The Rise of America's Gun
Paul M. Barrett
Based on fifteen years of research, Bloomberg Businessweek managing
editor Paul Barrett tells the story of how an obscure Austrian curtain-rod
manufacturer captured the hearts of the American gun market.
When Gaston Glock, a small window-fixture and knife manufacturer, first
cracked the gun business with a new gun he had created to win a contract from
the Austrian military, America still preferred the six-cylinder revolver as its
handgun of choice. Today, 65 percent of the American law-enforcement market
uses the Glock, and the Austrian gun manufacturer controls a healthy share of the
annual $1 billion handgun market. Based on years of extensive interviews with
Gaston Glock, Glock executives and former executives, law enforcement
agencies, and more, this is the first book to examine America's love affair with the
world's deadliest, and most popular, gun. Since it was introduced in 1982, the
Glock has become the weapon of choice for America's law-enforcement agencies,
criminals and gang members, Second Amendment enthusiasts, and Hollywood's
silver screen.

Quiet
The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop
Talking
Susan Cain
Like A Whole New Mind, You Just Don't Understand, or Stumbling on
Happiness, Quiet is a paradigm-shifting book that shows how dramatically
our culture has come to misunderstand and undervalue introverts, and
gives introverts the tools to take full advantage of their strengths.
Passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled with indelible stories of
real people, Quiet has the power to permanently change how we see introverts
and, equally important, how they see themselves. Author Susan Cain charts the
rise of "the extrovert ideal" over the 20th century and shows how it has come to
permeate our culture--helping to determine everything from how parishioners
worship to who excels at Harvard Business School. She also explores
cutting-edge research on the biology and psychology of temperament and outlines
practical skills that can benefit nearly all of us, including how to network if you hate
small talk, how to modulate your personality according to circumstance, and how
to empower introverted children.

A beautifully written literary thriller featuring madmen who see monsters
and monsters who hide in plain sight, The Bedlam Detective is a powerful
story of class, family, and insanity.
Sebastian Becker, a former Pinkerton man, lives in England and investigates
wealthy eccentrics who may be too insane to care for their own affairs. He is
asked to investigate rich landowner Sir Owain, but arrives to discover two young
girls have been murdered. It is not the first time children have come to harm in this
small town. Owain's sanity is in question after a disastrous adventure that killed
his family and colleagues, and Becker suspects him of the killings. A smart young
suffragette and the wild daughter of a horse trainer had a frightening childhood
experience that may hold some of the answers Becker seeks, but only if Becker
can convince them to trust him in time.
Madmen and monsters both real and imagined abound, and Becker faces
immense danger in his hunt for the truth--and in the process he will have to face
murderers, tragedy, and the tempestuous depths of his own mind.

Coincidence Engine
Sam Leith
A lively, boisterous debut by a British novelist about a mysterious engine
and the forces--benevolent and nefarious--who are after it.
A hurricane sweeps off the Gulf of Mexico and, in the back country of Alabama,
assembles a passenger jet out of old bean cans and junkyard waste. This piques
the interest of Red Queen, the head of the enigmatic Directorate of the Extremely
Improbable. Her fascination with this random event sets into motion a madcap
caper that will bring together a hilarious cast of characters, including: an eccentric
mathematician, last heard of investigating the physics of free will; Alex Smart, a
lovelorn Cambridge postgraduate who has set off to America with hope in his
heart and a ring in his pocket; and a member of the Directorate with no capacity
for imagination and his partner who falls for him. What ensues is a chaotic chase
across a fully realized, hyper-real America, haunted by madness, murder,
mistaken identity, and conspiracy.

While America Sleeps
A Wake-up Call for the Post-9/11 Era
Russ Feingold
Champion of progessives and liberals, former senator Russ Feingold
explains from his unique view where America went wrong after 9/11 and
how we can fix the mess we made.
To quote a recent interview in The Nation: "Russ Feingold was a different kind
of senator--more committed to progressive principles than to a party...[a] man of
great integrity [who kept] his word and [held] to his values through every crisis and
every vote."
Known for his convictions, Russ Feingold is in a great tradition of upper
Midwest progressives the likes of LaFollette, Humphrey, Mondale, and Wellstone.
Revered on the left and respected on the right, the former senator is now issuing
his wake-up call to America. With echoes of Churchill and Kennedy, While
America Sleeps looks at the institutional failures of government to get it right in the
post-9/11 era and proposes a new paradigm both at home and abroad that lives
up to the virtues of the American way.

Masters of Delusion
Sam Israel, the Octopus, and the Inside Story of the
Wildest, Craziest Fraud in the History of Wall Street
Guy Lawson
An incredible-but-true narrative of massive Wall Street financial
manipulation, and an even larger, more sinister con game in which
ingenious predators hunt the richest prey
When the Bayou Hedge Fund is revealed to be a massive Ponzi scheme that
has defrauded investors of hundreds of millions, its fast-talking manager, Sam
Israel, who hails from a wealthy family of global movers and shakers, seizes on a
plan to avoid a decades-long prison sentence. He commits suicide by leaping off a
bridge--or, at least, that's what he wants authorities to think. After a nationally
televised weeks-long manhunt delivers Israel back to authorities, the defeated
fund manager begins what figures to be a lifetime of incarceration. But not even
the Feds know the full story of what Israel was involved in, how his high-rolling
lifestyle and increasingly desperate attempts to conceal his hedge fund's poor
performance pushed him to the brink before the prospect of a way out suddenly
appeared. Salvation would involve the ultimate gambit, a roll of the dice with $150
million at stake, and a potentially deadly game of "who blinks first" with a
mysterious entity said to secretly control the world's financial structure. Written by

January First
A Child's Descent into Madness and Her Father's
Struggle to Save Her
Michael Schofield
A brilliant and harrowingly honest memoir, January First is the
extraordinary story of a father's fight to save his child from an extremely
severe case of mental illness in the face of overwhelming adversity
At six years old, Michael Schofield's daughter, January, was diagnosed with
one of the most severe cases of child-onset schizophrenia that doctors had ever
seen. In January's case, she is hallucinating 95 percent of the time that she is
awake. Potent psychiatric drugs that would level most adults barely faze her.
January, Jani to her family, has literally hundreds of imaginary friends. They go
by names like 400-the-Cat, 100 Degrees, 24 Hours, and Sycamore and live on an
island called "Calalini," which she describes as existing "on the border of my world
and your world." Some of these friends are good, and some of them, such as 400,
are very bad. They tell her to jump off buildings, crawl in ovens, eat her brother,
throw herself through doors, and push her father's car into neutral.
In the middle of these never-ending delusions, hallucinations, and paroxysms
of rage are Jani's parents, who have gone to the ends of the earth to keep both of
their children alive and unharmed. They live in separate one-bedroom

Hugh Brewster
April 15, 2012, marks the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, and
already a host of commemorative events are planned for the centenary year
(among them James Cameron's release of a 3D version of his film Titantic).
No one knows the category--and what appeals to Titanic book readers--more
than Hugh Brewster, who, with Gilded Lives, Fatal Voyage, has written the
definitive account of the Titanic passengers and their world.
The Titanic tragedy is one of the most enduring stories of all time. Hugh
Brewster, who created several bestselling books on the Titanic, here uses original
research to intertwine, for the first time, the lives of the rich and famous within the
powerful arc of the ship's dramatic demise to convey the poignance of this
epochal disaster. He shows us how these privileged passengers provide "an
exquisite microcosm of the Edwardian era."

Rachel Maddow
There's a war going on, argues Rachel Maddow, but it's not the one in
Afghanistan. Rather, it's a battle between the priorities of civilian life and of the
war machine, and right now the national security sector is winning--leaving the
United States less strong and secure. Speaking to us in the fiercely honest, witty,
piercingly intelligent voice we know from her on-air commentary, Maddow shows
how deeply militarized our culture has become--how the role of the national
security sector has shape-shifted and grown over the past century to the point of
being financially unsustainable and confused in mission.

Kieran Shields
Two hundred years after the Salem witch trials, in the summer of 1892, a
grisly new witch hunt is beginning....
When newly appointed Deputy Marshal Archie Lean is called in to investigate a
prostitute's murder in Portland, Maine, he's surprised to find the body laid out like
a pentagram and pinned to the earth with a pitchfork. He's even more surprised to
learn that this death by "sticking" is a traditional method of killing a witch.
Baffled by the ritualized murder scene, Lean secretly enlists the help of
historian Helen Prescott and brilliant criminalist Perceval Grey. Distrusted by
officials because of his mixed Abenaki Indian ancestry, Grey is even more
notorious for combining modern investigative techniques with an almost eerie
perceptiveness. Although skeptical of each other's methods, together the
detectives pursue the killer's trail through postmortems and opium dens, into the
spiritualist societies and lunatic asylums of gothic New England.
Before the killer closes in on his final victim, Lean and Grey must decipher the
secret pattern to these murders--a pattern hidden within the dark history of the
Salem witch trials.

Immortality
The Quest to Live Forever and How It Drives Civilization
Stephen Cave
An engaging, character-driven look at man's search for immortality
throughout history and its role in driving civilization, which argues that at
the heart of every human endeavor, from science and medicine to religion
and art, is a powerful desire to beat death.
The quest to live forever is the hidden motivator of all we do--the wellspring of
religion, the muse of philosophy, the architect of our cities and the impulse behind
the arts. It is embedded in our very nature, and its result is what we know as
civilization. But underlying this quest, despite the apparent diversity, are just four
basic strategies. The four paths up the Mount of the Immortals are: staying alive
(whether through magic or medicine); being resurrected (with help from the
divine--or more recently, cryonics); persisting as a soul (either in heaven, hell, or
in reincarnated form on earth); or living on through one's legacy (such as through
genes, art, or fame). In a lively narrative that recruits key figures from Alexander
the Great to modern-day scientists as guides up each path, this book shows how
immortality questing has led to humanity's greatest achievements. Incorporating
the latest conclusions from science and philosophy, Immortality assesses whether
any path has a real prospect of taking us to the summit of the immortals--and what
ON SALE 4/3/2012 those odds mean for how we should live.

Lyndon Johnson was a profuse mass of contradictions. A southerner from
Texas, he presided over the most sweeping social changes since FDR's New
Deal, with Medicare, civil rights, and his War on Poverty. A harsh brute of a man
to some, he was hungry for the love and approval of the American public. Mark
Updegrove, director of the LBJ Library and Museum, brings Johnson compellingly
to life, through the stories and recollections of the staff members and
congressmen, cabinet leaders and senators, journalists and friends who worked
alongside him, lived with him, and battled him. In Search of LBJ will reveal an
illuminating portrait of a president who was both larger than life and deeply flawed,
whose domestic program remade the landscape of America and whose

City of Scoundrels
The 12 Days of Disaster That Gave Birth to Modern
Chicago
Gary Krist
The masterfully told story of 12 volatile days in the life of Chicago, when an
aviation disaster, a race riot, a crippling transit strike, and a sensational
child murder transfixed and roiled a city already on the brink of collapse.
Summer 1919: the city of Chicago seemed on the verge of transformation.
Modernizers had an audacious, expensive plan to turn the city from a brawling,
unglamorous place into "the Metropolis of the World." But just as the dream
seemed within reach, pandemonium broke loose--the city's highest ambitions
suddenly under attack by the unbridled energies that had given birth to them in the
first place.
It began on a balmy Monday afternoon when a blimp in flames crashed
through the roof of a busy downtown bank, incinerating those inside. Within days,
a racial incident at a hot, crowded South Side beach spiraled into one of the worst
urban riots in American history, followed by a transit strike that paralyzed the city.
Then, when it seemed as if things could get no worse, police searching for a
six-year-old girl discovered her body in a dark, North Side basement.
Meticulously researched yet expertly paced, City of Scoundrels captures the
ON SALE 4/17/2012 tumultuous birth of the modern American city, with all of its light and dark aspects

In My Father's Country
A Pashtun Daughter Returns to Afghanistan
Saima Wahab
The memoir of a young Afghan-American woman's perilous and moving
journey from nervous Pashto interpreter to intrepid "Human Terrain"
specialist.
Soon after graduating from college in Portland, Oregon, Saima Wahab
returned to her original country of Afghanistan and became an interpreter. From
learning that she was the only college-educated female Pashto speaker in the
country, to her posting at an operating base in Afghanistan's blistering western
frontier, to spending a year in Jalalabad translating for "Hollywood Pashtun"
© Shafiqa Sherzai, to venturing into isolated Pashtun communities (where no one sees or
talks to females unless they are related to them) to engage hostile village elders in

Tim Brady
A Dirty Dozen/Band of Brothers-like account of how a tiny Honduran banana
boat staffed with a colorful crew of international merchant seamen, inmates,
and a French harbor pilot were drafted into service in WWII and heroically
succeeded in setting the stage for Patton's epic invasion of North Africa.
Twelve Desperate Miles is the story of the November 1942 invasion of Axis
forces in North Africa consisting of more than 100 ships carrying over 30,000
soldiers, with a spotlight on a little-known aspect of Operation Torch, as it was
dubbed: the role of the Contessa, the naval oddity that trailed the largest
cross-ocean invasion force in the history of the world. In the book, author Tim
Brady depicts how General George Patton's legendary mission required an armed
naval ship packed full of combustible airplane fuel drums and 900 tons of bombs
as well as assault team to sail 12 miles up a shallow, well-defended Moroccan
river, a short flight from the city of Casablanca, which the Allies were prepared to
bomb if necessary. In spite of the vast resources of the U.S. forces, it was
determined that the Contessa, a banana boat of Honduran registry, was the only
vessel with a draft shallow enough to make it up the river. While portraying the
ship's journey day-by-day and describing its colorful crew, Twelve Desperate
ON SALE 4/24/2012 Miles chronicles the overall invasion and its aftermath, as well as the critical but

Alan Mulally and the Fight to Save the Ford Motor
Company
Bryce Hoffman
American Icon is a riveting, behind-the-scenes account of the near collapse
of the Ford Motor Company, which in 2008 was within days of bankrupcy,
and CEO Alan Mulally's hard-fought effort to bring Ford back from the brink,
crown business
transforming it into the world's most profitable automobile company in 2010.
American Icon is a gripping, fly-on-the-wall narrative of the Ford Motor
Company's seemingly imminent collapse and astounding turnaround. It is also an
incredibly in-depth account of how Mulally, a Detroit outsider, came into Ford and
completely transformed its management, its cars, its public image, and a
corporate culture filled with backbiting and politics and personal vendettas, to such
an extent that by 2010 it was the most profitable car company in the world. In
telling the story of Ford's remarkable comeback, Detroit News reporter Bryce
Hoffman was given unprecidented access to Alan Mulally and Ford's senior
management--a level of cooperation that will likely never be repeated.

The Origins of Power, Prosperity and Poverty
With Egypt and Pakistan roiling the headlines and the extent of inequality
among nations at an unprecedented level, Why Nations Fail answers the
questions that have stumped people for centuries--why are some nations rich and
others poor? Why is the world divided by wealth and poverty, health and sickness,
food and famine? A new theory of political economy based on 15 years of
research explains why the average person in the U.S. is 10 times as prosperous
as the average Guatemalan, 20 times as prosperous as the average North Korean
and 40 times as prosperous as those living in the Congo--and what can be done

New material based on explosive interviews proves that the financial crisis was

behavior poses a major danger to the American economy and political system.
The crisis was an industrial-scale fraud, aided and abetted by intellectual enablers

My Fight for Equal Pay and Fairness at Goodyear and

Lilly Ledbetter with Lanier Isom
The inspiring story of the woman at the center of the historic discrimination
case that inspired the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act--her fight for
equal rights in the workplace, and how her determination became a victory
for the nation.
Lilly Ledbetter always knew that she was destined for something more than
what she was born into--a house with no running water or electricity in the small
town of Possum Trot, Alabama. In 1979, with two young children, meager savings,
and a resistant yet loving husband, Lilly applied and was hired for her dream job
in management at Goodyear, one of the first women hired at this level. Nineteen
years after her first day at Goodyear, Lilly received an anonymous note revealing
that she was making thousands less per year than the men in her position.
When she filed a sex discrimination case against Goodyear, Lilly won--and
then heartbreakingly lost on appeal. Over the next eight years, her case made it
all the way to the Supreme Court, where she lost again. But Lilly continued to
fight, and became the namesake of Barack Obama's first official piece of

Live Wild
A Paleo Survival Guide to Living Well in the Modern
World
John Durant
From the fresh new leader of the Paleo movement, a guide to returning to
the way our hunter-gatherer ancestors ate, moved, and lived in the wild.
What do Paleolithic hunter-gatherers, Bengal tigers, and six-year-old kids have
in common? They teach us about the wild human animal inside all of us.
Blending science, culture, anthropology, and philosophy, John Durant shows
readers how to stay healthy and live with purpose in the most alien environment
humans have known--the modern world. Durant takes readers on a thrilling

A Memoir
Garry Marshall
For readers of Hollywood autobiographies, the first memoir of one of the

For over five decades, Garry Marshall has been among the most successful
writers, directors, and producers in America. He began as a comedy writer during
the last years of television's "golden age," writing for The Dick Van Dyke Show,
then swiftly went on to produce the top sitcoms of the 1970s--including Happy
Days, Laverne & Shirley, The Odd Couple, and Mork & Mindy. He has since
directed such huge blockbuster movies as Pretty Woman, Valentine's Day,
and--most recently--the star-studded New Year's Eve. Throughout his
extraordinarily prolific career he has produced and created 14 prime-time
televisions series, directed 16 major motion pictures, written 3 plays, directed 2

Coming Apart
The State of White America, 1960-2010
Charles Murray
From the bestselling author of Losing Ground and The Bell Curve, Coming
Apart is a harrowing portrait of the haves and have-nots of white America.
Coming Apart explores an evolution in American society that has taken place
over the last 50 years, leading to the formation of American classes that are
different in kind and in their degree of separation from anything we have ever
known.
In a stunning rebuke of "feel-good" social science the likes of The Social
Animal and Stumbling on Happiness, Coming Apart argues where you come from
correlates strongly with how you will achieve. The book demonstrates that the
paths of social mobility that made American great are becoming sclerotic and that
the upper, elite class is becoming more and more isolated while the white
underclass grows in size and resentment. Drawing on decades of statistics and
ON SALE 1/31/2012 research and reminiscent of other societal cross-sections like Bobos in Paradise
CROWN FORUM and Bowling Alone, Coming Apart examines how class tension could lead to class
HARDCOVER warfare and the end of the American project.

Untitled on American Power
Charles Krauthammer
One of the most important conservative voices of this generation gives an
impassioned and rigorous defense for America's "political minimalism,"
judicious use of power aboard, and his vision for our future.
Charles Krauthammer has spent nearly three decades analyzing and
commenting on American politics. Over the course of those years, certain
principles gained clear validation--foremost among them: limited government
based on skepticism and restraint is essential to the liberty and virtues of our way
of life.
Lately though the "change we can believe in" has undermined that which
makes America exceptional. To right our course, Krauthammer argues for a U.S.
government that can be both minimalist domestically and wield great power
internationally--with a foreign policy that seeks a middle way between

Ten Poems to Say Goodbye
Roger Housden
Roger Housden is back with the next volume of his tremendously
successful Ten Poems series.
In Ten Poems to Say Goodbye, the newest addition to the celebrated Ten
Poems series, Roger Housden continues to highlight the magic of poetry, this time
as it relates to personal loss. The selected poems in this volume focus not only on
loss and grief, but also on solace, respite, and joy. A goodbye is an opportunity for
kindness, for forgiveness, for intimacy, and ultimately for love and a deepening
acceptance of life as it is instead of what it was. Goodbyes can be poignant,
sorrowful, sometimes a relief, and now and then, an occasion for joy. They are
always transition moments which, when embraced, can be the door to a new life
both for ourselves and for others. Housden encourages readers to embrace a
poem's words and feel their meaning. In doing so, Housden shows how poetry
enables each of us to see the beauty of life and better understand not only the
world around us, but also the world within us.

personality and the lone figure who not only rivals, but could surpass, the
importance of any previous Church leader in influence on the country's almost 70
million Catholics. At just 59 years old, Dolan is poised to be the de facto leader
and spokesperson of the American Catholic Church for an entire generation.
Certain to become a cardinal in the near future, Dolan is also quite possibly the
first American who could be a serious candidate to become pope. It is then perfect
timing for John Allen's serious but highly readable profile of Dolan and his growing
influence for the millions of Americans who already know about him, and introduce
him to those who don't.

Night of the Confessor
Christian Faith in an Age of Uncertainty
Tomás Halík
Tomás Halík is a wise guide for the post-Christian era, and never more so
than in his latest work, a thought-provoking and powerful reflection on the
relationship between faith, paradox, change, and resurrection.
As the challenges of cultural secularization and dwindling religious
communities confront North America and Europe, Tomás Halík is a prophetic
voice of hope. He lived through the intolerance of religion that defined communist
Czechoslovakia, and he reminds readers that ours is not the first era to see faith
challenged and that crisis leads to deeper understanding. Christianity's central
messages have always seemed impossible, from peace and forgiveness in the
face of a harsh world, to love and self-sacrifice despite human selfishness, to the
victory of resurrection through the defeat of the cross. Acceptance of paradox
therefore is the way forward, he explains. It is a difficult way that offers an unclear
immediate future, yet it is an honest way that alone can offer peace in this age.

The Pope Who Quit
A True Medieval Tale of Mystery, Death, and Salvation
Jon Sweeney
In this fascinating tale of mystery, lies, and deceit, acclaimed author Jon
Sweeney tells the largely unknown story of a 13th century monk who would,
against his will, be elected pope and five months later nearly bring the
papacy to its knees.
At the close of the tumultuous Middle Ages, there lived a man who seemed
destined from birth to save the world. His name was Peter Morrone, a monk,
founder of a religious order, and, depending on who you talk to, a reformer, an
instigator, a prophet, a coward, a saint, and possibly the victim of murder. A stroke
of fate would, practically overnight, transform this humble servant of God into the
most powerful man in the Catholic Church. Half a year later, he would be the only
pope in history to abdicate the Chair of Peter. What lead him to make that
decision and what happened afterward would be shrouded in mystery for
centuries.
The Pope Who Quit pulls back the veil of secrecy on this dramatic time in history
and showcases a story that involves deadly dealings, apocalyptic maneuverings,
and papal intrigue.

The Way to Love
Anthony De Mello
Bestselling author Anthony de Mello's brilliant guide to the ultimate
questions of understanding and love, The Way to Love is a modern spiritual
classic, now beautifully repackaged and in trade paperback for the first time
ever.
In 31 meditations, beloved teacher Anthony de Mello implores his readers with
his usual pithiness to break through illusion, the great obstacle to love. "Love
springs from awareness," he insists, saying that it is only when we see others as
they are that we can begin to really love. But not only must we seek to see others
with clarity, we must examine ourselves without misconception. The task,
however, is not easy. "The most painful act," de Mello says, "is the act of seeing.
But in that act of seeing that love is born."

All the Way to Heaven
The Selected Letters of Dorothy Day
Dorothy Day
Dorothy Day, cofounder of the Catholic Worker movement, has been called
the most significant, interesting, and influential person in the history of
American Catholicism. Now the publication of her letters, previously sealed
for 25 years after her death and meticulously selected by Robert Ellsberg,
offers an extraordinary look at her daily struggles, her hopes, and her
unwavering faith.
This volume, drawing on Dorothy Day's personal papers, offers a fascinating
chronicle of her response to the vast changes in America, the Church, and the
wider world. Set against the backdrop of the Depression, World War II, the Cold
War, Vatican II, Vietnam, and the protests of the 1960s and '70s, she
corresponded with a wide range of friends, colleagues, family members, and

Destructive Temptations
Kay Arthur, David and BJ Lawson
Through this six-week, no-homework study, Christians of all ages will learn
how to arm themselves against six common sins that are fatal to a person's
spiritual progress.
While there's no such thing as a "little" sin, certain sins hold the power to
undermine a Christian's spiritual growth in subtle yet deadly ways. Fear, Pride,
Anger, Immorality, Greed, and Despair inevitably bring sorrow--but the Bible
shows how individuals can protect themselves and avoid giving room to any of
these in their lives.

Enemy

Readers of all ages will learn how to arm themselves for battle with their
spiritual enemy in this six-week, no-homework study.
The Bible clearly shows that every one of us lives in the midst of a spiritual

A thorough knowledge of the opponent's strength, his probable line of attack, and
his tactics are vital to achieving victory. In this six-week study, readers will dig into
the Bible to discover for themselves the truth about the devil. They'll gain the
battle-ready perspective and tools they need to stand firm against the enemy and
walk daily in victory.

Joshua Harris
From the author of the runaway bestseller I Kissed Dating Goodbye comes
the book about what to do when Boy Meets Girl.
What comes between "How do you do?" and "I do"? How do you find a lifetime
partner in a way that's God-centered, not self-centered? Boy Meets Girl is an
honest, romantic, and refreshingly biblical look at courtship. It's about dating with a
purpose. About friendship plus possibility. About romance chaperoned by wisdom.
In this book, the author asks questions like: Is "courting" more holy than "dating"?
© Kristen Leigh
In a relationship what's the best thing you can do with your lips? How can
Christians committed to "waiting" view their sex drive as good? Would you be in
trouble if you got pulled over by a "courtship cop"? Join the guy who "kissed
dating goodbye"...and say hello to courtship.

The Necessity of an Enemy
How the Battle You Face Is Your Best Opportunity
Ron Carpenter
In everyone's journey to reach life goals--whether it's a satisfying
relationship, career opportunity, financial stability, or other desired
outcom--enemies are as necessary as friends.
When individuals commit to what God wants them to be and do in life, that's
when an enemy shows up. Enemies bring tests that build strength, expose
weaknesses that demand correction, and help turn lethargy into energized
creativity. Human nature is such that opposition and testing are necessary to bring
out a person's best qualities. Often the challenge comes from an "opponent" being
used by God to "promote" individuals to the next stage of their future, for example
in the biblical story of the Israelites leaving Egypt. Understanding the nature--and
necessity--of enemies is the key to greater personal maturity and success in
achieving God's plans.

romantic, and business relationships in this heart-pounding novel.
Relationships are fragile things, especially at the Crossroads Crisis Center.
Beth believes her best friend and business partner, Sara, is married to an
unscrupulous man. Sara disagrees, and the resulting friction between the two
women becomes almost unbearable for Beth. Tension rises even more when
Sara's husband goes missing and is presumed dead--and Beth appears guilty of
his murder. In her attempt to prove herself innocent and help Sara see the truth,
Beth calls on Joe, a former special ops member and a man she loves though she
knows she shouldn't. Together, they discover an international link to NINA, the
most feared terrorist group in the world, and realize that the head of this group is
among their closest friends. But which one? Uncovering the truth creates havoc,
and in its ravages comes love and truth so pure it proves that no one is ever too
damaged to find redemption. No one is beyond God's healing touch.

Steven K. Scott
Top-selling author Steven K. Scott inspires readers with practical lessons
on success from Jesus's life on earth. Jesus's model of leadership,
influence, team-building, and communication are unsurpassed.
Christians sometimes concentrate so closely on Christ's spiritual message that
they miss the powerful lessons to be learned from studying the way he lived. The
example of Jesus's daily life on earth holds the keys to success for entrepreneurs,
professionals, business people, pastors, teachers, leaders in any field, and those
who mentor or coach others. Jesus's example shows how to get your message
across; how to identify the most critical missions; how to focus effort where it will
have the greatest impact; how to increase your value to a team or organization;
how to influence and lead others; and how to cross over from being
"purpose-driven" to consistently being "mission-accomplished."

The Fourth Fisherman
How Three Mexican Fishermen Who Came Back from
the Dead Changed My Life and Saved My Marriage
Joe Kissack
Two stories, in different parts of the world, which ultimately intersect. Both
are about being adrift--one literally adrift on the Pacific, the other spiritually
adrift in the empty world of Hollywood.
The true story of tres pescadores (three fishermen) who were rescued near
Australia after drifting 5,500 miles across the Pacific for nine months in an
eight-meter boat. One of the few items that remained after the terrible storm that
disabled their boat was a Bible. They survived on "raw fish, rainwater, and their
faith in God." At the same time Joe Kissack, noted Hollywood TV and film
producer, found his own life adrift as his extraordinary career crumbled in
wreckage around him. Reaching out from his own spiritual lostness, Joe sought to
connect with the three fisherman following their amazing ordeal. The Fourth
Fisherman is the inspirational true account of these two remarkable stories of
physical and spiritual salvation and how they ultimately came together through
faith in God.

Leonard Sweet
How did Christians get the point but miss the Person?
God made us for relationship, for up-close engagement. We are designed for
the give-and-take of deep relationships with other people and with God. God
wants to be known, not just known about, and that requires trust. Belief is
intellectual assent, while trust is action. It is the difference between thinking about
Jesus and going out and following him. The daily practice of faith--versus the
settledness of mere belief--will open your life to unimagined possibilities. It is that
difference that Leonard Sweet explores in What Matters Most.

How the Digital Shift Changes Everything for Christians,
the Church, and the Future
Leonard Sweet
The most widely respected Christian cultural critic and trend analyst has
identified the last, best hope for the church in America. And it's not who you
think it is.
Why do younger Christians prefer an iPhone to a hymnal or a kneeler? Why is
playing chess with someone in Australia via the Internet more appealing than
sitting in a pew to listen to a 30-minute sermon? How is it that Facebook has
attracted 550 million people who will never see one another, when the average
church can't get a pew-full of believers between 18 and 32 to show up in person?
Leonard Sweet knows the answer, and it has nothing to do with young Americans
holding onto childhood, or being overly self-involved, or not wanting to give up
their pet sins. Instead, he says, the problem is that the church has held fast to the
ON SALE 3/13/2012 Gutenberg model, while the rest of the world has gone digital. The digital
WATERBROOK PRESS generation is driven to create community in every possible way, and when they
TRADE PAPERBACK don't find connection in the church they leave the church in favor of authentic
relationships outside it. Gutenbergers, it turns out, are unequalled when it comes

Larry Crabb
Christians, like everyone else, expend great effort in trying to make life
work. But God has a better plan.
Assuming ultimate responsibility for your life and how things work out is the
natural thing to do. It's also a major frustration and a guaranteed waste of time.
The human impulse is to do everything possible to overcome problems and
ensure success. Following that impulse might work for a while, but you can't fix
your life over the long haul. God does not promise success as it is defined in
human terms. Instead, Jesus assured his followers that life would bring setbacks
and loss. In place of earthly success, God gives us himself and invites us to hand
over control of our lives. We stop trying to make the universe work, and in
exchange we receive peace and the enjoyment of knowing God more deeply.
Letting God take over relieves the pressure.

Award-winning author Jane Kirkpatrick brings readers another riveting
fictional account of a real pioneer housewife whose love for flowers
changed the lives of those around her.
In the early 1900s, housewife Hulda Klager reads a book that changes her life
forever, leading her to develop over 200 new varieties of lilacs that she gives away
or sells to individuals as a way of sharing beauty. Her commitment to
creation--struggling against flooding rivers and the vagaries of hybrid plants--while
living through family losses and challenges is a story of perseverance and
generosity that culminates when, in a time of great need, the people who Hulda
gifted with beauty return to her life to help her start over.

Writing to Win REISSUE
Steven D. Stark
From a master teacher, a fully revised and updated edition of Writing to Win,
the results-oriented approach to powerful legal writing that communicates,
that persuades--and that wins.
thRee RIveRS PReSS
More than almost any profession, the law has the most deserved reputation for
opaque, jargon-clogged writing. Legal education, which focuses on judicial
opinions, not instruments of persuasion, is partly to blame. Yet forceful writing is
one of the most potent weapons of legal advocacy. In Writing to Win, Steve Stark,
a former teacher of writing at Harvard Law who has taught thousands of aspiring
and practicing lawyers, has written the only book on the market that applies the
universal principles of vigorous prose to the job of making a case--and winning it.
Key Points/Quotes
REVISED AND UPDATED EDITION: Stark has updated the book to reflect the
changes in law, jargon, and professional vocabulary that have occurred in the 12
years since the book's original publication. This revised edition includes
information on how computers, the Internet, and smart phones are revolutionizing

The Bird Sisters
A Novel
Rebecca Rasmussen
"A beautiful first novel...has the sturdy literary bones of pastoral
masterworks such as Jane Smiley's A Thousand Acres and Marilynne
Robinson's Housekeeping." --St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Whenever a bird flies into a window in Spring Green, Wisconsin, sisters Milly
and Twiss get a visit. Twiss listens to the birds' heartbeats, assessing what she
can fix and what she can't, while Milly listens to the heartaches of the people
who've brought them, offering her signature vanilla drop biscuits. The two sisters
have spent their lives nursing people and birds back to health.
But they weren't always known as the Bird Sisters.
In the summer of 1947, Milly was a great beauty with emerald eyes and Twiss
was a brazen wild child who never did what she was told. That was the summer
their golf-pro father got into an accident that cost him both his swing and his

Michelle Moran
The world knows Madame Tussaud as a wax artist extraordinaire...but who
was this woman and how did she become one of the most famous
sculptresses of all time? In Madame Tussaud, her tumultuous story comes
to life as only Michelle Moran can tell it. The year is 1788, and a revolution is
about to begin.
In her fourth novel, national bestselling author Michelle Moran enters the gilded
but troubled court of Marie Antoinette with the intriguing story of Marie Tussaud, a
woman who survived the French Revolution only by creating death masks of the
beheaded aristocracy. Spanning five years from budding revolution to the Reign of
Terror, Madame Tussaud brings us into the world of an incredible heroine whose

A Novel
Kate Taylor
A seductive and gripping historical mystery for readers of A. S. Byatt
It's the late 19th century, at the height of the Belle Epoque in France. The
bourgeois lawyer François Dubon lives a well-ordered life. He spends his days at
his office, his evenings with his aristocratic wife, and his afternoons with his
mistress. This complacent existence is shattered when a mysterious widow pays
him a call. She insists only Dubon can rescue her innocent friend, an army captain
by the name of Dreyfus who has been convicted of spying. Against his better

Peter Firstbrook
The astonishing story of Barack Obama's Kenyan roots, by the first person
to trace Obama's family history back 27 generations.
On January 20, 2009, a few hundred men, women, and children gathered
under trees in the twilight at K'obama, a village on the shores of Lake Victoria in
western Kenya. The members of this gathering took a special pride in the
swearing in of America's first black president, for they were all Obamas, all the
president's direct African family.
In the first in-depth history of the Obama family, Peter Firstbrook recounts a
journey that starts in a mud hut by the White Nile and ends seven centuries later
in the White House. Interweaving oral history and tribal lore, interviews with
Obama family members and other Kenyans, the writings of Kenyan historians,
and original genealogical research, Firstbrook sets the fascinating story of the
president's family against the background of Kenya's rich and complex history.
More than a tale of love and war, hardship and hard-won success, The
Obamas reveals a family history--epic in scope yet intimate in feel--that is truly
without precedent.

Bridge of Spies vividly traces the journeys of the three men the Soviet and
American superpowers exchanged on Berlin's Glienicke Bridge and
Checkpoint Charlie on February 10, 1962, in the first and most legendary
prisoner exhange between East and West.
Bridge of Spies is a true story of three men--a Soviet Spy who was a master of
disguise; Gary Powers, an American who was captured when his spy plane was
shot down by the Russians; and Frederic Pryor, a young American graduate
student mistakenly identified as a spy, who had been captured by the Soviets. In
this three-way political swap, these men were drawn into the nadir of the cold war
by duty and curiosity, and the same tragicomedy of errors that induced
Khrushchev to deploy missiles to Cuba. They were rescued against daunting odds
by fate and by their families, and then all but forgotten. Yet between them they laid
bare the pathological mistrust that fueled the arms race for the next 30 years.

Escape from the Land of Snows
The Young Dalai Lama's Harrowing Flight to Freedom
and the Making of a Spiritual Hero
Stephan Talty
The thrilling story of the 24-year-old Tibetan leader's white-knuckle escape
from Chinese forces, and his transformation into the charismatic champion
of free thinking and compassion that the world knows today.
In the early weeks of 1959, a bloody uprising gripped the streets of the Tibetan
capital of Lhasa, as ragtag Tibetan rebels faced off against their Communist
Chinese occupiers. Realizing that the impending battle would result in a bloodbath
and his own capture, the young Dalai Lama began planning an audacious escape
to India, a two-week journey that would involve numerous near-death encounters,
a dangerous mountain crossing, and evading thousands of Chinese soldiers who
hunted for his head. The journey would transform this callow young man into one
of the world's greatest statesmen...and create an enduring beacon of hope for a
nation.

Born Wild
The Extraordinary Story of One Man's Passion for Africa
Tony Fitzjohn
An exotic, insane, fantastically entertaining memoir from the man who
worked hand-in-hand with George Adamson of Born Free fame in helping
reintroduce lions to the wild.
Born Wild shows how a man driven by an impossibly restless spirit can do
almost anything.
A notorious hell-raiser given to scrapes with bandits, evil policemen, and
wicked politicians, who has been shot at by poachers and chewed up by lions,
Tony Fitzjohn is also a wonderful raconteur. And shenanigans aside, he belongs
to that rare species of humans who have sought refuge and meaning in a life truly
dedicated to the restoration of the animal kingdom. Many times Tony Fitzjohn has
put his life on the line for the cause in which he believes. Born Wild is the story of
that passion.

In the tradition of The Middle Place, A Three Dog Life, and Here If You Need
Me, a luminous and unforgettable memoir about love and loss.
Unforgettable and utterly absorbing, Signs of Life features a powerful, wholly
original debut voice that will have you crying and laughing to the very last page.
Twenty-four-year-old Natalie Taylor has led a charmed life. She's surrounded by
her large, close-knit family, enjoys her meaningful job as a high school English
teacher, cherishes being married to her college sweetheart, and is ecstatic about
their baby on the way. Then her husband dies in a freak skateboarding accident,
and in an instant, life as she knows it is over. With the help of her dark wit, her rich
fantasy life, and her love of literature, Natalie finds the strength to come back from
the depths of despair. A heartfelt and utterly absorbing story, Signs of Life is a
powerful coming-of-age tale about grieving and growing up.

Redemption
A Story of Sisterhood, Survival, and Finding Freedom
Behind Bars
Stacey Lannert and Kristen Kemp
Now in paperback, the gripping, inspiring memoir of a young woman who
killed her father after years of abuse, spent half of a lifetime in prison, and
triumphed over the harshest of circumstances.
On July 4, 1990, Stacey Lannert shot and killed her father, who had been
abusing her sexually since she was seven. Missouri state law, a disbelieving
prosecutor, and Stacey's own fragile psyche conspired against her: she was found
guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Redemption is Stacey's candid memoir of what happened after she found
herself in prison for life. It is an extraordinary account of her will to live a
positive--even triumphant--life and, ultimately, the healing power of forgiveness.

The Floor of Heaven
A True Tale of the Last Frontier and the Yukon Gold
Rush
Howard Blum
By the author of the New York Times bestseller and Edgar Award-winner
American Lightning, this true-life tale uses the intertwined lives of a
bonanza-seeking gold prospector, an unstoppable lawman, and a wily con
artist-thief to show how the opening of the "last frontier" in Alaska shaped
America's national character.
Charlie Siringo spends two decades in the saddle before joining the Pinkerton
Agency as its "cowboy detective" and heading to Alaska to solve a robbery at the
world's largest gold mine. Along the way, he befriends George Carmack, a gold
prospector with big dreams. When Carmack's discovery of history's richest gold
deposit sets off the 1896 gold rush--and Carmack becomes one of Alaska's
richest men--the prospector-turned-tycoon becomes the target of a gang led by
Soapy Smith, a notorious con man who runs the Alaskan gold-rush underworld.
To stop him, Carmack must enlist the help of his detective friend Charlie Siringo.
These three larger-than-life figures aren't simply unforgettable. Their tangled fates
tell the story of the end of one America and the beginning of something new.

A breathtaking debut with an astonishing twist that will prove there is
nothing as durable--and as exceptional--as the bond between sisters.
Beatrice's little sister Tess has been found dead, apparently by suicide.
Bee's friends, her fiancé, and even her mother accept the fact that impulsive artist
Tess killed herself. However, only Bee knows that Tess was pregnant with her first
child, and she is convinced that something more sinister is responsible for her
sister's untimely death. Single-minded in her search for a killer, Bee moves into
Tess's apartment and throws herself headlong into her sister's life--and all its
secrets. Her family and the police see her as a grieving sister in denial, unwilling
to accept the facts of the case. But as a determined Bee gives her statement to
the lead investigator, her story reveals a predator who got away with murder--and
an obsession that may cost Bee her own life.

This Boy's Faith
Notes from a Southern Baptist Upbringing
Hamilton Cain
In the spirit of Rick Bragg, Patricia Hampl, and Stephen Dubner, This Boy's
Faith is an unforgettable memoir about growing up Southern, grappling with
faith, and confronting a childhood colored by religion, Bible Belt culture,
and a mother who minces words better than a food processor.
Hamilton Cain came to Jesus on a trampoline, or as his devout parents
described it, "He just jumped and bounced his way to the Lord." Growing up in
Tennessee, he set himself on the path to becoming the best Baptist boy he could
be. Yet as he grew older, Hamilton began to notice fractures in a world that had
once promised sanctuary, perils threatening to shatter the protective shell of family
and community. He cut himself free of his evangelical milieu, and eventually
gravitated north, to cosmopolitan New York.
Twenty years later, Hamilton's oldest child was born with a grave genetic
disease. Thrown into a chasm of confusion and despair, he found the primal
voices of his original culture reaching out to him. He picked up that faded,
half-forgotten script to see what values could steady him. The result is a story of
growing up Baptist, and then growing up.

and the government's complete inability to adequately respond, and the inevitable
environmental effects are some of the dramatic issues explored. Will energy and
environmental policy change as well? Safina addresses these concerns in a rich
investigation of a catastrophe he has reported from the beginning.

In the explosive conclusion to the vampire series that began with 13 Bullets,
Laura Caxton and her longtime nemesis, vampire Justinia Malvern, finally
clash in a decisive--and bloody--showdown.
Laura Caxton's battles against Justinia Malvern have cost her possibly
everything--the lives of her friends and family, her freedom, . . . even her
humanity. But even now, reduced to a solitary existence as a wanted fugitive,
Laura's not finished fighting. In fact, she's got a plan--a plan that will force Malvern
to come to her. The ever-wily Malvern's got plans of her own, though--plans that
involve Laura's few remaining friends, a battalion of cops, and an army of
half-dead slaves.

Dawn Casale and David Crofton
Just as the Fat Witch Brownies cookbook broke out a local favorite, One

an instant hit. Like BabyCakes, but with butter and eggs, One Girl resonates with
dessert lovers looking for something unique. Deeply invested in family, Dawn
incorporates heirloom recipes and stories into her baked goods and the shop's
décor. Many cookies are named for someone special: Lucia (Espresso Caramel
Squares with White & Dark Chocolate Swirl) is in honor of Dawn's beloved

The Homemade Pantry
101 Real Foods You Can Stop Buying and Start Making
Alana Chernila
On a mission to kick her family's packaged-food habit, Alana Chernila
learned that, with a little determination, anything she could buy at the store
could be made in her kitchen--and the homemade versions were tastier and
more healthful and didn't take that long to make.
In her debut cookbook, Alana Chernila collects recipes for 101 everyday
staples, organized by supermarket aisle--from crackers to cheese, cake mix to
sauerkraut, and mayonnaise to Oreos. In beautiful prose that captures the
everyday humor and foibles of family life, Alana both inspires and guides the
reader to make delicious everyday items.
The Homemade Pantry is a celebration of food made by hand--mozzarella that is
stretched, fat lasagna noodles rolled from flour and water, fresh tomato sauce that
bubbles on the stove--and many of the recipes are used in multiple dishes. Alana
ON SALE 4/3/2012 also tells readers about helpful kitchen gadgets and offers sidebars on canning
