Zack Lightman is daydreaming through another dull math class when the high-tech dropship lands in his school’s courtyard--and when the men in the dark suits and sunglasses leap out of the ship and start calling his name, he’s sure he’s still dreaming. But the dream is all too real; the people of Earth need him. As Zack soon discovers, the video game he’s been playing obsessively for years isn’t just a game; it’s part of a massive, top secret government training program, designed to teach gamers the skills they’ll need to defend Earth from an impending alien invasion. And now...that invasion is coming. AUTHOR BIO ERNEST CLINE is an author, screenwriter, spoken-word artist, and full-time geek.

On July 22, 2007, William Petit, an Ivy League-educated doctor and pillar of a tight-knit community, enjoyed a quiet dinner with his wife and two young daughters. By 3:00 the next morning, Petit’s world was upended in a series of horrific, random events that culminated with the torture and brutal murders of his family. The Rising chronicles the making of an exceptional man and New England town that raised him, taking us from his early days in Plainville, CT, to the new life that includes a second marriage and newborn son. Petit’s story is not only about a man absorbing an unimaginable blow; it’s about the human impulse to live, and what allows us to survive even when it seems there is nothing left. Until that terrible July day, Petit had led an unusually ordinary, blessed life. The extremity of the suffering thrust upon him forced him to confront questions he never wanted to ask: Would it have been better never to have found love at all, when the void left by the departed is so cruel and endless? What is the life we build worth to the world? How can we find joy in so much pain? And what is our obligation to those who look to us to shoulder our burdens with dignity? These are questions all of us, in a much less urgent way, face just by being alive. Through Petit and the loved ones who rallied around him, The Rising offers profound and moving answers, and a remarkable example of indomitable love, astonishing determination, and the power of the human spirit.

Tetlock and Dan Gardner Publicist: Rachel Rokicki | 212-782-8455 | [email protected] SUMMARY From one of the world’s most highly regarded social scientists comes a seminal book on forecasting that shows, for the first time, how we can all get better at making predictions. Everyone would benefit from seeing further into the future, whether buying stocks, crafting policy, launching a new product, or simply planning the week’s meals. Unfortunately, people tend to be terrible forecasters. As Wharton professor Philip Tetlock showed in a landmark 2005 study, even experts’ predictions are only slightly better than chance. However, an important, and underreported, conclusion of that study was that some experts do have real foresight, and Tetlock has spent the past decade trying to figure out why. What makes some people so good? And can this talent be taught? In Superforecasters, Tetlock and coauthor Dan Gardner offer a masterwork on prediction, drawinging on decades of research and the results of a massive, governmentfunded forecasting tournament. The Good Judgment Project involves tens of thousands of ordinary people--including a Brooklyn filmmaker, a retired pipe installer, and a former ballroom dancer--who set out to forecast global events. Some of the volunteers have turned out to be astonishingly good. They’ve beaten other benchmarks, competitors, and prediction markets. They’ve even beaten the collective judgment of intelligence analysts with access to classified information. They are “superforecasters.” In this groundbreaking and accessible book, Tetlock and Gardner show us how we can learn from this elite group. Weaving together stories of forecasting successes (the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound) and failures (the Bay of Pigs) and interviews with a range of high-level decision makers, from David Petraeus to Robert Rubin, they show that good forecasting doesn’t require powerful computers or arcane methods. It involves gathering evidence from a variety of sources, learning to think probabilistically, working in teams, keeping score, and being willing to admit error and change course. Superforecasting offers the first demonstrably effective way to improve our ability to predict the future--whether in business, finance, politics, international affairs, or daily life. AUTHOR BIO PHILIP E. TETLOCK is the Annenberg University Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, with appointments in Wharton, psychology and political science. He is co-leader of the Good Judgment Project, a multi-year forecasting study, and the author of Expert Political Judgment and (with Aaron Belkin) Counterfactual Thought Experiments in World Politics.

Ask the Red Cross or FEMA what to do during a major power outage and they will tell you to be sure to have extra batteries and three days’ worth of extra food and water on hand, along with a few other necessities. But what if the blackout arrived without warning and lasted not days but weeks or months? There would be no running water; no sewage; no electric heat, refrigeration, or light. Food and medical supplies would dwindle. Banks would not function. Gas stations without generators would no longer be able to pump fuel. The devices we rely on would go dark. Firefighters and police officers might no longer be reachable, or might choose to stay with their own families. Mass evacuation would become chaos. The fact is, one well-placed attack on the electrical grid could lastingly cripple much of our infrastructure. Several nation states hostile to the United States could do it, and the ranks of criminal and terrorist organizations approaching the capability are growing. Ted Koppel convincingly argues that it is not a question of if such an attack will occur, but when. National leaders across government, industry, and the military know this--as they candidly admit in these pages. The Department of Homeland Security has no plan for the aftermath of an attack on the power grid. Individuals are largely left to their own devices, leading to an explosion of the “prepper” movement. Koppel visits one wealthy prepper who has built a retreat equipped with a specially excavated three-acre lake stocked with fish. But how will ordinary civilians survive? The Mormon church has elaborate plans for long-term disaster survival, but it doesn’t have the resources for everyone. Lights Out exposes the breadth and urgency of the problem and suggests ways to prepare for the inevitable catastrophe. AUTHOR BIO TED KOPPEL, a 42-year veteran of ABC News, was anchor and managing editor of Nightline from 1980-2005.

Crown 9780804140034 On-Sale Date: 08/04/2015 Hardcover $28.00 History - Europe - Western The leafy Avenue Foch, one of the most exclusive residential streets in Nazi-occupied France, was Paris’s hotbed of daring spies, murderous secret police, amoral informers, and Vichy collaborators. So when American physician Sumner Jackson, who lived at Number 11, found himself drawn into the Liberation network of the French Resistance, he knew the stakes were impossibly high. Just down the road at Number 31 was Theodor Dannecker, an Eichmann protégé charged with deporting French Jews to concentration camps. And Number 84 housed the Parisian headquarters of the Gestapo, run by the most effective spy hunter in Nazi Germany. From his office at the American Hospital, Jackson smuggled fallen Allied fighter pilots safely out of France. After witnessing the brutal roundup of his Jewish friends, Jackson invited the Liberation to officially operate out of his home at Number 11--but the noose soon began to tighten. When his secret life was discovered by his Nazi neighbors, he and his family were forced to undertake a journey into the dark heart of the war-torn continent from which there was little chance of return. Drawing upon a wealth of primary source material and extensive interviews with Phillip Jackson, Alex Kershaw recreates the City of Light during its darkest days. The untold story of the Jackson family anchors the suspenseful narrative, and Kershaw dazzles readers with the vivid immediacy of the best spy thrillers. Awash with the tense atmosphere of World War II’s Europe, Avenue of Spies introduces us to the brave doctor who risked everything to defy Hitler.

Crown 9780307451064 On-Sale Date: 10/06/2015 Hardcover $28.00 NonFiction - History - United States - 20th Century The 1920s are famous as the golden age of jazz and glamour, but it was also an era of fevered yearning for communion with an unseen spirit world, after the loss of tens of millions in the First World War and the Spanishflu epidemic. A desperate search for reunion with dead loved ones precipitated a tidal wave of self-proclaimed psychics—and, as reputable media sought stories on occult phenomena, mediums became celebrities. Against this backdrop, in 1924, the pretty wife of a distinguished Boston surgeon became the idolized focus of the raging national debate over Spiritualism, a movement centered on communication with the dead. The Boston psychic became known as Margery, a socially prominent woman of exceptional charm. Her most vocal advocate was Sherlock Holmes’s creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who urged her to enter a controversial contest, sponsored by Scientific American and offering a large cash prize to the first medium declared authentic by its impressive five-man investigative committee. Margery’s supernatural gifts beguiled four of the judges. There was one left to convince...the acclaimed escape artist Harry Houdini. David Jaher’s extraordinary debut culminates in the showdown between Houdini, the world’s greatest unmasker of charlatans, and Margery, the nation’s most credible spirit medium. The Witch of Lime Street, the first book to capture their electric public rivalry and the competition that brought them into each other’s orbit, returns us to an oft-mythologized era, all while igniting our imagination and engaging with the timeless question: Is there life after death?

Crown 9780307985675 On-Sale-Date: 1/19/2016 Hardcover $28.00 Psychology - Psychopathology - Autism Eighty years ago in Mississippi, the first child diagnosed with autism--Donald Triplett--was born. His parents embarked on a journey to understand the mysterious and complex condition that affected their son. In the years that followed, autism remained an exceedingly rare condition, limited to the 11 children cited in the original journal article announcing the disorder’s discovery. Today, physicians, parents, and politicians regularly speak of an “epidemic” of autism. The rate of autism spectrum disorders has been accelerating dramatically since the early 1990s, and some form of autism is now estimated to affect 1 in every 88 American children. A Simple Twist of Fate is the extraordinary human story of the quest to understand and treat autism. It is also the definitive history of a condition shrouded in mystery and fear. National Magazine Award finalists John Donvan and Caren Zucker, whose families have both been affected by autism, have conducted over 150 interviews with top scientists, educators, politicians, therapists, movie stars, shaman, and other experts. A Simple Twist of Fate features moments of incredible humanity and absolute depravity, from civil rights battles to the long nights of parents wracked by guilt, isolation and the pain of feeling they might never know who their children were on the inside. In this way, A Simple Twist of Fate is the story of more than just thousands of autistic children, adults, and their parents--it’s about all of us.

Finalist for the 2014 Man Booker Prize. Kevern Cohen doesn’t know why his father always drew two fingers across his lips when he said a word starting with a J. It wasn’t then, and isn’t now, the time or place to ask questions. Ailinn Solomons, too, knows only a world of lost histories and watchfulness. When Ailinn arrives in Kevern’s remote seaside village, he is instantly drawn to her. Although mistrustful by nature, Kevern and Ailinn begin to build a life together. To Ailinn’s guardian, Esme, they offer hope for a solution to rising commonplace brutality--the legacy of a cataclysm shrouded in suspicion, denial, and apology, simply referred to as “What Happened, If It Happened.” As this unusual pair faces ever-increasing danger, Esme is determined to keep them together--whatever the cost. Stunning, evocative, and terribly heartbreaking, J is at once a love story, a chilling and provocative exploration of the power of denial, and a poignant commentary on the importance of historical memory.

In this epic, haunting, deeply researched, and profoundly original book, Timothy Snyder has written a history of extermination and survival, an explanation of an unprecedented crime of the 20th century that might serve as a precedent in the 21st. It tells the story of the Holocaust based on an array of new archival sources from eastern Europe and the voices of Jewish survivors to present the mass murder of the Jews in comprehensible historical terms--and thus all the more terrifyingly. The Holocaust began in a dark but accessible place, in Hitler’s mind, with the thought that the elimination of Jews would restore balance to the planet and allow Germans to win the natural resources they deserved. Hitler’s worldview could only be realized insofar as Germans destroyed other states, and his political agenda was to prepare for this new kind of war. The absorption of Austria, the capitulation of Czechoslovakia, and the invasion of Poland allowed ever more radical policies toward Jews: but only the invasion of the Soviet Union created the conditions for the murder of millions. In the wake of Hitler’s destruction, and in the zones of statelessness where almost all Jews died, they were rescued sometimes by institutions that resembled states and sometimes by those who could grant them a semblance of citizenship. A very few people aided Jews without any connection to an institution and without any selfish motive. Much of the new archival research in this book is devoted to understanding these people. If the Holocaust was in fact a result of ecological panic and state destruction, Snyder argues persuasively that we have drawn the wrong lessons from it and endangered our own future. The world of the early 21st century is coming to resemble that of the early 20th, in the growing preoccupations with food and water and in the destabilization of a previous world order. Our world is much closer to Hitler’s than we might imagine. Saving our society requires that we see the Holocaust as it was and ourselves as we are. In this chilling, groundbreaking, and utterly absorbing narrative, Black Earth shows that the Holocaust is not only history but warning. AUTHOR BIO TIMOTHY SNYDER is the Housum Professor of History at Yale University and the author of Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin, which won the 2013 Hannah Arendt Prize. Snyder is a contributing editor at The New Republic and a frequent contributor to the New York Review of Books.

In 2000, the CIA realized that their surveillance drones could be weaponized, thus changing the game of warfare as the world has always known it. In Objective Troy, Scott Shane, national security reporter for the New York Times, tells the riveting story of the advent of the drone, tapping his unparalleled access to the top sources in the intelligence community, the armed forces, and the Obama administration, whose military policies have come to be defined by this lethal homing weapon. The larger narrative of the drone era is anchored by the immense, frantic manhunt for Anwar al-Awlaki, the first US citizen to be deliberately targeted for assassination by his own government. As far as the president was concerned, terrorist leader Awlaki had declared war on America and America had, in turn, declared war on him. Awlaki (code-named “Objective Troy”) evaded Obama’s efforts for a year and spent that time taunting the president--mocking him online, falsifying terrorist threats against Obama’s native Chicago. Shane writes a white-knuckled, thrilling account of how Obama finally cornered Awlaki, while exposing a new type of warfare that has profound, lasting implications that extend well beyond the military and leak into our everyday lives.

Mindy Kaling Publicist: Tammy Blake | 212-572-2542 | [email protected] SUMMARY From Mindy Kaling, the author of the mega-bestseller Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? and creator and star of The Mindy Project, comes a highly anticipated second book of hilarious essays, opinions, concerns, and advice. Since the publication of her much-loved first book, Mindy Kaling’s life has changed significantly. Back then, she played Kelly Kapoor, a supporting character on the popular series The Office. Now Mindy is the creator, producer, writer, and star of her own TV show, The Mindy Project. She is, as she puts it, “a tiny bit famous,” the perks of which include being three assistants, two phone calls and a really good lie away from obtaining Bradley Cooper’s email address and having convicts writing her fan mail from prison. She’s gone through some other major changes as well--she’s watched friends start their own families, and she’s grappled with her own balance of work and private life. Mindy turns the anxieties, the glamour, the heartache,and the celebrations of her second coming of age into a laugh-out-loud funny collection of essays that anyone who’s ever been at a turning point in their life or career can relate to. And those who’ve never been at a turning point can skip to the parts where she talks about meeting Bono, encountering Elmo, what kind of snacks they have at a Vogue photo shoot, and what you should carry in your purse when you go to the state dinner honoring the president of France. AUTHOR BIO MINDY KALING is an Emmy-nominated writer and actress currently starring on Fox’s The Mindy Project, and author of the bestseller Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?

For years many have believed that genes were fixed components of our bodies, that we as individuals were incapable of altering our genetic makeup. Yet, groundbreaking research suggests something else, that a change in lifestyle and diet can greatly influence our genetic predispositions to disease and certain physical and psychological behaviors. Moreover, the adoption of ancient Vedic practices like yoga and meditation create genetic mutations that will allow us to lead longer and healthier lives.

Big Data is used to spy on us, hire and fire us, and sell us things we don’t need. In Dataclysm, Christian Rudder puts this flood of information to an entirely different use: understanding human nature. Drawing on terabytes of data from Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, OkCupid, and many other sites, Rudder explores the terrain of human experience. He charts the rise and fall of America’s most reviled word through Google Search, explains the new dynamics of collaborative rage on Twitter, and traces human migration over time, showing how groups of people move from certain small towns to the same big cities across the globe. And he grapples with the challenge of maintaining privacy in a world where these explorations are possible. Audacious, entertaining, and illuminating, Dataclysm is a portrait of our essential selves--and a first look at a revolution in the making.

Barrett Publicist: Hannah Frail | 212-572-2247 | [email protected] SUMMARY Now in paperback, the gripping story of one man’s obsession with righting the wrongs perpetrated by Texaco (and later Chevron, after the merger of the companies), in polluting the Amazon rain forest over a 30-year period while drilling for oil and destroying the lives of the aboriginal tribes who lived there. But Law of the Jungle is not a simple story of villains and heroes. Steven Donziger crossed the line in bringing the case to a decision, and may have forfeited all that he won--for himself and the Ecuadorean tribesmen he represented. Steven Donziger, former journalist and self-styled social activist, is a Harvard-educated lawyer who was classmates and buddies with Barack Obama. He first signed on to the budding class-action lawsuit against oil giant Texaco (later Chevron) in 1991 to seek reparations for the Ecuadorean aboriginal tribesmen whose lives were overturned by years of oil drilling in their villages and backyards. As the years went on, in the face of legal setbacks and a fierce defense by Texaco, Donziger became the lead lawyer in the case, a larger-than-life, loud-mouthed courtroom thespian and showman who learned how to manipulate the media and win over public opinion. Played out over 20 years, in the courts of Manhattan and the un-air-conditioned courtrooms in the villages of Ecuador, both Donziger and Chevron played by tactics that would have been unethical, if not worse, in an American legal setting. Near the end, when Chevron realized the verdict was likely to go against the company, the company targeted Donziger himself. Suddenly his years of behind-the-scenes politicking and legal manuveuring, courting celebrities and environmental groups like Sting and Bianca Jagger, seemed to come undone. Written by bestselling author and veteran journalist Paul Barrett, Law of the Jungle is an engrossing narrative of greed and overweening ambition. AUTHOR BIO PAUL M. BARRETT is an assistant managing editor at Bloomberg Businessweek.

A major motion picture from 20th Century Fox from director Ridley Scott starring Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, and more in theathers November 2015. Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he’s sure he’ll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate the planet while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded on Mars’ surface, completely alone, with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive. And even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone years before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, Mark won’t have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old “human error” are much more likely to kill him first. But Mark’s not ready to quit. Armed with nothing but his ingenuity, his engineering skills--and a gallows sense of humor that proves to be his greatest source of strength--he embarks on a dogged quest to stay alive. As he confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next, Mark begins to let himself believe he might make it off the planet alive. But Mars has plenty of surprises in store for him yet.

John Cleese Publicist: Penny Simon | 865-675-1705 | [email protected] SUMMARY John Cleese’s huge comedic influence has stretched across generations; his sharp, irreverent eye and the unique brand of physical comedy he perfected with Monty Python, on Fawlty Towers, and beyond now seem written into comedy’s DNA. In this rollicking New York Times bestselling memoir, So, Anyway..., Cleese takes readers on a Grand Tour of his ascent in the entertainment world, from his humble beginnings in a sleepy English town and his early comedic days at Cambridge University (with future Python partner Graham Chapman), to the founding of the landmark comedy troupe that would propel him to worldwide renown. Cleese was just days away from graduating Cambridge and setting off on a law career when he was visited by two BBC executives who offered him a job writing comedy for radio. That fateful moment--and a near-simultaneous offer to take his university humor revue to London’s famed West End--propelled him down a different path, cutting his teeth writing for stars like David Frost and Peter Sellers, and eventually joining the five other Pythons to pioneer a new kind of comedy that prized invention, silliness, and absurdity. Along the way, he found his first true love with the actress Connie Booth and transformed himself from a reluctant performer to a world-class actor and back again. Twisting and turning through surprising stories and hilarious digressions--with some brief pauses along the way that comprise a fascinating primer on what’s funny and why--this story of a young man’s journey to the pinnacle of comedy is a masterly performance by a master performer. AUTHOR BIO JOHN CLEESE achieved his first big success in London’s West End and as a scriptwriter and performer on The Frost Report. He went on to co-found the legendary Monty Python comedy troupe, writing and performing in the first three TV seasons of Flying Circus and in films that include Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Life of Brian. In the mid-1970s, John Cleese and his first wife, Connie Booth, co-wrote and starred in the now-classic sitcom Fawlty Towers. Later, he wrote and co-starred in A Fish Called Wanda and Fierce Creatures. He has appeared in many other films, from James Bond to Harry Potter to Shrek, and has guest-starred in TV shows that have included 3rd Rock from the Sun, Will & Grace, and Entourage. He lives in London.

It’s not enough to be right, these days. Especially when you’re a member of the right. Conservatives are a dwindling minority. To survive, they must persuade people of their point of view.

Koch Publicist: Carisa Hays | 212-782-9277 | [email protected] Megan Perritt | 212-572-2543 | [email protected] SUMMARY A Legendary CEO’s Unique Management System. In 1967, Charles Koch took the reins of his father’s company and began the process of growing it from a $21 million company into a global corporation with revenues of about $115 billion, according to Forbes. So how did this MIT engineer manage to grow Koch Industries into one of the largest private companies in the world today with growth exceeding that of the S&P 500 by almost 30-fold over the last five decades? Through his unique five-dimensional management process and system called Market-Based Management. Based on five decades of crossdisciplinary studies, experimental discovery, and practical implementation across Koch companies and their 100,000 employees worldwide, the core objective of Market-Based Management’s framework is as simple as it is effective: to generate good profit. What is good profit? Good profit results when a company creates value for customers in a way that helps them improve their lives. Good profit is the result of innovations that customers freely vote for with their own dollars; it’s the result of business decisions that create long-term value for everyone--customers, employees, shareholders, and society. While you won’t find the Koch Industries name on your home’s stain-resistant carpet, your baby’s more comfortable but absorbent diapers, your stretch denim jeans, or your television with a better clarity screen, MBM™ drove these innovations and many more. Here, drawing on revealing, honest stories from his five decades in business--the company’s many successes as well as its stumbles--Koch walks the reader step-by-step through the five dimensions of Market-Based Management to show stockholders, entrepreneurs, leaders, students--and innovators, supervisors and employees of all kinds, in any field--how to apply the principles to generate Good Profit in their organizations, companies, and lives. AUTHOR BIO CHARLES G. KOCH is chairman of the board and CEO of Koch Industries, Inc., a position he has held since 1967. He is ranked fourth on Forbes’ list of America’s richest people. He has continuously supported academic and public policy research (including many Nobel Prize winners) for more than 50 years, and has helped build a number of organizations focused on research, policy, and education to advance the understanding of the free society. He holds a bachelor’s degree in general engineering as well as two master’s degrees in nuclear and chemical engineering from MIT. He has been married to his wife, Liz, for 43 years. They have two children and two grandchildren. Based in Wichita, Kansas, KOCH INDUSTRIES INC. is one of the largest private companies in America. With a presence in about 60 countries, Koch companies employ more than 100,000 people worldwide, with about 60,000 of those in the United States. From January 2009 to present, Koch companies have earned more than 930 awards for safety, environmental excellence, community stewardship, innovation, and customer service.

During his three combat-filled tours of duty in Afghanistan, former college sports star and skilled paratrooper U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills never once backed down from the hardest challenges that came his way. The big, likable guy literally woke up every morning proudly singing the 82nd Airborne song to encourage and motivate the men he led. But late one afternoon in April 2012 while Travis and his men were on a routine mission near a remote village in southern Afghanistan, the unthinkable happened. While patrolling for improvised explosive devices (IEDs), the minesweeper missed one IED, and Travis Mills’s world changed forever. In this vivid account of Travis’s heroic fight for survival, he recalls the action-packed and challenging days of his earlier tours of duty with the legendary 82nd Airborne Division, the agony of encountering a hidden bomb while on patrol with his men, and his odds-defying physical and spiritual struggle afterward to come back from severe quadruple-amputee injuries and rebuild his life. This searing and unforgettable true story will inspire, encourage, challenge, and motivate you forward. It shows how resilient the human spirit is, how unbreakable the will is when pressed with difficult demands, and how triumphant a person can be when tasked with the seemingly impossible. “Every day is a challenge,” Travis says, “but every challenge can be overcome. I’m not wounded anymore. If you’re wounded, then you’re still focused on your injury. I’m just a man with scars living life to the fullest and best I know how.” AUTHOR BIO Retired U.S. Army Staff Sergeant TRAVIS MILLS of the 82nd Airborne is a wounded warrior, motivational speaker, and international advocate for veterans and amputees. He is one of only five servicemen from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan ever to survive his injuries as a quadruple amputee. He started the Travis Mills Foundation, which benefits and assists wounded and injured veterans, www.travismills.org.

Nadia Bolz-Weber, author of the New York Times bestseller Pastrix, may be the most unlikely minister in America. She’s a tattooed Crossfit fanatic with a checkered past and a penchant for four letter words who stubbornly, sometimes hilariously, resists the God she feels called to serve. In Accidental Saints, Nadia takes us inside the House for All Sinners and Saints, her young congregation in Denver. In daily life with her people, she keeps “stumbling into holy moments,” when a divine intrusion breaks through her resistance and sweeps her up in unforgettable experiences of giving and receiving grace—of actually being grace. As we watch her dramatic stories unfold, we begin to sense that just such holy moments are waiting for each unlikely one of us—if we knew where to look. In a time when many have become disillusioned with Christianity, Accidental Saints demonstrates what happens when ordinary people surrender to word and sacrament in an honest, loving community of faith. Told in Nadia’s trademark confessional style, and evoking such classics as Traveling Mercies and The Ragamuffin Gospel, this book is a stunning next work from one of today’s most important Christian voices. AUTHOR BIO NADIA BOLZ-WEBER is the founding pastor of House for All Sinners and Saints in Denver, Colorado. She is author of the New York Times bestselling memoir, Pastrix. Her writings can be found in the Christian Century, The Lutheran Magazine and Patheos.com.

The miracle story of Kent and Amber Brantly inspires everyone to serve others and make the most of life’s experiences. Dr. Kent and Amber Brantly (with David Thomas) tell of Dr. Brantly’s near-death encounter with the Ebola virus in Liberia. The first American diagnosed during the 2014 outbreak, Dr. Brantly’s ordeal--including his controversial evacuation to and hospitalization in the United States--received worldwide media attention. Interspersed in the account is the full story of how both Kent and his wife, Amber, sought to serve others in the name of Christ in Liberia. Then, when tragedy struck--as thousands, perhaps millions of people worldwide prayed for his life--miraculous events unfolded that resulted in Dr. Brantly’s flight to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta and an eventual clean bill of health. AUTHOR BIO DR. KENT BRANTLY is family medicine physician who in 2013 accepted a post-resident position with World Medical Mission (a ministry of Samaritan’s Purse) to serve at the ELWA Hospital in Monvovia, Liberia. In July of 2014, Kent contracted the Ebola virus, and his treatment and subsequent recovery became an international news story. He is a graduate of Abilene Christian University in Texas and received his degree in medicine from Indiana University. In fall of 2014, Kent testified on the Ebola crisis in West Africa before both houses of the US Congress, and later that year he was honored by Time as a “Person of the Year.” Dr. Brantly’s wife, AMBER, also an alumnus of Abilene Christian University, is a registered nurse. The Brantlys are the parents of two young children and are living temporarily in the United States with the intention of resuming their international medical mission service in the near future.

No Fear tells the stories of twelve young Christian Americans who have found creative, often very challenging ways to stand up for their faith in a secularized culture that increasingly seems opposed or even hostile to biblical values.

Each profile is accompanied by an example from the Bible that connects the contemporary experience with scriptural truth.

They both sought to build bridges among Catholicism, Judaism, and the world at large. On Heaven and Earth, originally published in Argentina in 2010, brings together a series of these conversations where both men talked about various theological and worldly issues, including God, fundamentalism, atheism, abortion, homosexuality, euthanasia, same-sex marriage, and globalization. From these personal and accessible talks comes a first-hand view of the man who became pope to 1.2 billion Catholics around the world in March 2013. AUTHOR BIO JORGE MARIO BERGOGLIO, now POPE FRANCIS, is the first Latin American to be elected to the chair of Peter. A native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, he was ordained as a priest in 1969. He served as head of the Society of Jesus in Argentina from 1973 to 1979. In 1998 he became the archbishop of Buenos Aires, and in 2001 a cardinal. Following the resignation of his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, on February 28, 2013, the conclave elected Bergoglio, who chose the papal name Francis in honor of Saint Francis of Assisi. ABRAHAM SKORKA is an Argentine rabbi and biophysicist. He is rector of the Seminario Rabinico Latinoamericano in Buenos Aires, the rabbi of the Jewish community Benei Tikva, and a professor of biblical and rabbinic literature at the Seminario Rabinico Latinoamericano.
