"In March to the Majority, New York Times bestselling author Newt Gingrich takes readers behind the scenes of the Republican Revolution in 1994 and the rise of the modern GOP. The story of Gingrich's rise from college professor to architect of the Contract with America to Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives is historic. There were many adventures, personalities, missteps, and victories on the road from a seemingly permanent House GOP minority to the first Republican majority in forty years. These untold stories and inspiring lessons about the rise of modern conservatism are immensely relevant today as the United States faces profound and extraordinary challenges. Newt Gingrich joins with former National Republican Congressional Committee executive director Joe Gaylord to bring alive the stories, events, and activities that led to the Contract with America and the first reelected Republican majority since 1928. No two people are better positioned to tell this story than Gingrich and Gaylord. They were there, and they got it done. Gingrich and Gaylord share never-before-told stories about: Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, Tip O'Neill, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and other fascinating political figures. March to the Majority is not only about the past, but also about the challenges our nation faces today and offers principles for governing the American people." - from the inner front jacket flap. "Anyone who wants to understand how and why American politics are the way they are should read March to the Majority. This is the essential story of how a stale, seemingly permanent Democrat majority in Congress was defeated by a passionate group of men and women led by Newt Gingrich who wanted to change Washington and help Americans prosper." - Larry Kudlow.

Includes Praise for Forword; Author Dedication; Introduction; Acknowledgments; Notes; Scripture Index; Index; About the Author and List of Other Books by Dr. David Jeremiah. "Discover God's plan for seizing tomorrow! Your best days are not behind you! Now more than ever God is ready to use you, and your greatest moment could be only a step away. It doesn't matter who you are or what your age or your current situation may be - God will strengthen you, fulfill you, and partner with you to see great things accomplished in your lifetime. In Forward, prominent author and Bible teacher Dr. David Jeremiah invites you to follow the apostle Paul in "forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead" (Phil 3:13). Forward gives you practical insights into the "what's next" in your life, with a step-by-step plan of action you've needed to move past where you are to where you want to be. You'll learn how God wants to expand your dream, give you divine direction, plant within you a life purpose, equip you with tools to overcome fear, grant you great personal accomplishment, and lead you to a mission that will outlive your life. No matter what season of life you find yourself in, your brightest day can be just around the corner. Take hold of it! Let go of the past and get out of your rut. Choose to run Forward toward everything God has planned for the next phase of your life." - from the rear outer jacket. "No matter what stage of life you're in, you need big dreams to draw you forward. You need a vision bright enough to light up the future. Yet Dr. David Jeremiah understands that dreams are not enough. Dreamers need to be doers. You'll need optimism and excitement in order to take hold of your vision - not to mention a plan. Forward is that plan. In these pages, Dr. Jeremiah will walk you through ten steps you can take to seize the momentum in your life and everything God has planned for this coming season. Those steps are: 1. DREAM; 2. PRAY; 3. CHOOSE; 4. FOCUS; 5. RISK; 6. PURSUE; 7. BELIEVE; 8. INVEST; 9. FINISH; 10. CELEBRATE. In the words of the apostle Paul, it's time to "press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." It's time to move Forward!" - from the inner front jacket flap.

Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: As New. Faceout Studio (cover design); Weissman, Alan (author photograph) Ilustrador. 1st Edition. As new condition black boards with copper spine lettering contained in an as new condition color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Introduction; Epilogue; Index; Notes; Acknowledgments and About the Author. Also includes a bound-into-the-volume Turning Point document entitled: My Prayer to Be The Answer plus an additional Turning Point pamphlet entitled One Voice We Can Trust! "We always expected life to be filled with ups and downs. But lately, doesn't it feel like the downs are winning? Doesn't it seem as if the hits keep coming harder and closer together? Our world is packed with lies and loss of trust. Wars and rumors of war. Devastation and disaster. Pressure and persecution. Lawlessness and lovelessness. Some days it seems like bad news all around. And with bad news comes questions: "Why is this happening?" "When will it stop?" "What can we do?" And perhaps the most pressing of all: "Is this the end?" 'And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. - Matthew 24:14' In these hope-filled pages, bestselling author, pastor, and respected Bible teacher Dr. David Jeremiah focuses our attention not on the problems at hand, but on the hand of God. That's because Jesus Himself told us what to expect from this season of history when He delivered His Olivet Discourse - a significant sermon that scholars have called "the most important single passage of prophecy in all the Bible." With his trademark clarity, Dr. Jeremiah reveals exactly what Jesus promised to us - and what He expects of us - as we approach The World of the End." - from the rear outer jacket. "In a world of questions, now is not a time for cowering or complaining. This is our time to BE THE ANSWER! Yes, we are living in troubled times. But all who claim the name of Christ also carry a calling to address that trouble as representatives of His kingdom. We alone can offer the solution to a world in need, and this task becomes more and more important as we inch closer and closer to The World of the End. These pages will help you BE HONEST in a world of deception, BE CALM in a world of war, BE CONFIDENT in a world of disaster, BE PREPARED in a world of persecution, BE FAITHFUL in a world of betrayal, BE KIND in a world of lawlessness, BE THE GOOD NEWS in a world of bad news, and BE DETERMINED in the World of the End. Don't be frightened. Be faithful. In the words of Dr. Jeremiah, Jesus didn't give us this information so that we would be afraid of what's to come or be overwhelmed by the World of the End. He knows what's ahead, and He wants to make sure we can face it with confidence and hope." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. Silverglass Studio (book design); Meditz, Steven (jacket design); Kittner, Sam (author photograph) Ilustrador. 1st Edition. New condition dark gray boards, black spine, and silver spine lettering contained in a new condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Chris Wallace; Author Dedication; Epilogue; Acknowledgments; Notes; Bibliography; Index and About the Author. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs and black-and-white photographic front and rear endpapers. "A riveting new work and fresh take on the lead-up to the presidential election of 1960, drawing timely parallels to the choice Americans face in 2024. It's January 2, 1960: the day that Massachusetts Senator John F. Kennedy declared his candidacy; and with this opening scene, Chris Wallace offers readers a front-row seat to history. From the challnge of primary battle in a nation that had never elected a Catholic president, to the intense machinations of the national conventions - where JFK chose Lyndon B. Johnson as his running mate over the impassioned objections of his brother Bobby - this is a nonfiction political thriller filled with intrigue, cinematic action, and fresh reporting. Like with many popular histories, readers may be familiar with the story, but few will know the behind-the-scenes details, told here with gripping effect. Featuring some of history's most remarkable characters, page-turning action, and vivid details, Countdown 1960 follows a group of extraordinary politicians, civil rights leaders, Hollywood stars, labor bosses, and mobsters during a pivotal year in American history. The election of 1960 ushered in the modern era of presidential politics, with televised debates, private planes, and slick advertising. In fact, television played a massive role. It allowed voters to see the candidates' appearances. More than 70 million Americans watched one or all four debates. The public turned to television to watch campaign rallies. And on the night of the election, the contest between Kennedy and Nixon was so close that Americans were glued to their televisions long after dawn to see who won. The year 1960 was a deeply contentious, perilous time for America. It also was a moment our nation survived due to courage, leadership, and patriotism." - from the inner front jacket flap.

"Vivid characters - jokers, wisemen, failures, the brilliant and the merely bemused - march through the pages of Men Astutely Trained. This is a world of vast imaginings and the most severe pragmatism. McDonough argues persuasively that the Jesuits in North America have been the carriers of a culture borne along by a fruitful and often frustrating tension between their dual commitment to ancient virtues and to the principled pursuit of the free play of ideas. Men Astutely Trained is a fascinating book, full of humor and sharp-eyed critique." - Jean Bethke Elshthain, Centennial Professor of Political Science, Vanderbilt University. "This is a courageous, ambitious book which captures the authentic drama of the Jesuits' confrontation with American modernity. Peter McDonough has produced a remarkable synthesis of religious and cultural history; he also tells a good story." - James T. Fisher, Assistant Professor of American Studies, Yale University. "This is more than a history of the Jesuits. It is a perceptive and provocative analysis of the transformation that swept through American Catholicism in the decades leading up to Vatican II. The personalities are so fascinating and the analysis is so incisive that once you start to read this book it is hard to put it down. If you want to understand what happened to American Catholicisom in this critical period, this book is indispensable." - Jay P. Dolan, Professor of History, University of Notre Dame. "[The book] is a sympathetic, but realistic and accurate portrait. McDonough makes use of his scholarly skills to explain developments among the Jesuits and to set them in the larger context of the sea-changes that have shaken the world and the Catholic Church in the world during the middle years of this century. He covers nearly all the major movements and the movers and shakers in them. I recommend this well-done study." - James Henesey, S.J., Professor of the History of Christianity, Canisius College. "The saga of the Jesuits in America is the story of the rise, decline, and transformation of the largest and most celebrated male religious order in Catholicism. As Peter McDonough shows, the historical drama of the Jesuits took root in the tensions between religious tradition and the ascent of modernity in the West. Founded by Ignatius Loyola in 1540, the Jesuits complemented the explosive economic and political expansion of that period by establishing themselves as educators - cultivators of human capital. Members of the Society of Jesus shaped the intellect and molded the character of Catholics throughout the European world and eventually America. In the days of immigrant and post-immigrant Catholicism in the United States, from the turn of the century through the period after World War II, the "swift, light cavalry of Christ" operated schools, seminaries, and univesities that spurred Catholics toward mobility and trained them for leadership. Equally influential were the efforts of Jesuit journalists, labor priests, missionaries, and others to respond to the social and political questions raised by the Great Depression, the unprecedented abundance of the fifties, the erosion of ethnic enclaves, the spreading influence of the mass media, and the cultural upheavals that converged in the sixties with the convening of the Second Vatican Council. Drawing on hundreds of personal interviews, a rich store of archival materials, and extensive observation, McDonough weaves a vivid narrative with imaginative interpretation to convey the intricacies and atmosphere of the Jesuit experience." - excerpt from the inner front jacket flap.

Rhodes, Richard (photography); Smith, Mary Ann (jacket design); Barr Studio (jacket photograph); Tym, Peter (author photograph) Ilustrador. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition white boards, blue spine and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by John Bentley Mays; Author Dedication; About This Book; Introduction: The Secret Hoard; Sources and Acknowledgments. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. Also includes a fine condition vintage October 4, 1997 newspaper book review article from The Globe and Mail by Don Gillmor reviewing Power in the Blood, the article entitled South Rises Again In Family Meditation. "John Bentley Mays is one of the most powerful voices to speak of an out of the Deep South. Power in the Blood chronicles a journey of immense poignancy and resonance." - Anne Rivers Siddons. "A marvel of literary architectonics, Power in the Blood shimmers with passion and intelligence. Few books meditate on so much - history, place, the evolving self - with such elegance. But then, few writers possess John Bentley Mays' gift of probity bound up in sweet lyricism." - Charles Foran. "John Bentley Mays may have found his place in Canada but his blood is thick with Deep South truth. Power in the Blood is simply a remarkable book - brilliantly written and as accurate a portrayal of the South as anyone is ever likely to pen." - Terry Kay. "Both passionate and reflective, romantic and well researched. An odyssey of roots and change." - Lois Battle. "John Bentley Mays gives us a new view of the South, unbiased by the old view. It's as if he read everything written about the South and forgot it, or dismissed it all as cliche. Power in the Blood is a memoir of quivering beauty and truth." - Janice Daugharty. "An extraordinary narrative and honest exploration of the heart of the real American South, Power in the Blood is the account of one man's rediscovery of his Southern roots and heritage, forgotten during decades of self-exile from his homeland. John Bentley Mays left his ancestral region because, like many members of his generation, he believed a larger, more interesting life awaited him beyond the American South. The distance he put between himself and his Southern homeland widened until he eventually settled in Canada and into modern metropolitan life. Decades later, on a spring morning in 1990, the death of Mays' Aunt Vandalia summons him back to the South. As a result of his fateful return, Mays experiences an awakening of feelings and attitudes linked to his early life and family heritage, and he begins an exploration of his past. The secrets he uncovers in Vandalia's home motivate him to search for answers through the Virginia tidewater forests his ancestors cleared, the colonial plantations of his distant antebellum relatives, and the towns in South Carolina, Mississippi, and Louisiana where they lived through almost four hundred years of American history. Along the route of his journey he encounters echoes of Faulkner, remnants of civil war, and the spirits of colonial-era roads now laden with strip malls. And like many before him whose ties to their homelands have been broken, Mays struggles with the facts, stereotypes, and contradictions that exist today and color his native cultural landscape. Power in the Blood is about memory and recollection, and about the land that defines the blood and soul of a family over time. Above all, it is the poignant tale of an encounter with the American past as it emerges during a search for the truth of one family." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

And as Luke Lucas starts to unravel the mystery of his amnesia and relearn the story of his life, his desperate search leads him back to his Harvard friends: to his wife, to his best friend, to the woman he once loved more than life itself.and to the realization that his fate is tied to the rocket that stands ready at the Cape. For Luke knew something that someone deliberately wanted him to forget, and unless he is able to discover his own terrible, deadly secret, Luke may be left powerless to save the launch of Explorer - and with it, America's future." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
