  A powerful memoir about a dad navigating loss, fighting cancer, surviving, and thriving alongside the most important person in his life—his daughter. 
    
  Paul Weigel’s life always felt hard. Throughout his isolated childhood, with distant and detached parents, losing his college sweetheart in a horrible tragedy, and enduring the unexpected death of his father, Weigel spent his life in despair. It all just hurt. 
    
  Everything changed when his daughter was born. 
    
  From day one, Weigel and his daughter shared an incredible bond. She was a constant source of peace and inspiration to him, and he was determined to give her the love and security he’d never had. His life and the family that he’d dreamed about seemed to be finally getting on track—that is, until a devastating cancer diagnosis threatened that future. 
    
  But this time around, Weigel chose hope. If you believe in the impossible, he told himself, the incredible can come true. Using this mantra, Weigel pushed forward, determined to show his daughter true strength and power. Facing the ups and downs of his illness and treatment with courage, he trained for and completed an Ironman triathlon within six months of finishing chemotherapy, and he continued to be a dedicated father. 
    
  In Iron Dad, Weigel celebrates the unique bond between fathers and daughters and shares an inspiring story of finding and clinging to the joy in life, no matter the odds.

  In Bringing Home the White House, Melissa Estes Blair introduces us to five fascinating yet unheralded women who were at the heart of campaigns to elect and reelect some of our most beloved presidents. By examining the roles of these political strategists in affecting the outcome of presidential elections, Blair sheds light on their historical importance and the relevance of their individual influence. 
   
   
   
  In the middle decades of the twentieth century both major political parties had Women's Divisions. The leaders of these divisions—five women who held the job from 1932 until 1958—organized tens of thousands of women all over the country, turning them into the "saleswomen for the party" by providing them with talking points, fliers, and other material they needed to strike up political conversations with their friends and neighbors. The leaders of the Women's Divisions also produced a huge portion of the media used by the campaigns—over 90 percent of all print material in the 1930s—and were close advisors of the presidents of both parties. 
   
   
   
  In spite of their importance, these women and their work have been left out of the narratives of midcentury America. In telling the story of these women, Blair reveals the ways that women were central to American politics from the depths of the Great Depression to the height of the Cold War.

  This is small copy of  Introduction of the book: Welcome to the remarkable journey through the life and legacy of one of history's most influential figures, Martin Luther—the Father of Protestantism. In the pages that follow, we will embark on a voyage into the world of a man whose actions and ideas reshaped the course of Christianity and the Western world. As we delve into the life of Martin Luther, you'll discover a man whose story is both inspiring and thought-provoking. Born on November 10, 1483, in Eisleben, Germany, Martin Luther's early years were marked by the tumultuous times of the Renaissance and the late medieval period. Little did the world know that this humble son of a miner would go on to challenge the religious and political authorities of his time, setting in motion a chain of events that would forever alter the religious landscape. 
  Luther's journey takes us through the hallowed halls of the University of Erfurt, where he began his education and laid the groundwork for his future endeavors. It was here that his intellectual curiosity and passion for theology began to flourish. But it was a fateful event during a thunderstorm in 1505 that changed the course of Luther's life. Seeking divine protection during a lightning storm, he vowed to become a monk if spared. Keeping true to his word, Luther entered the Augustinian monastery in Erfurt and embarked on a life of devotion and contemplation.

  Life In The Pits - My Time as a...

  Brad Schaeffer

  In 1989, Brad Schaeffer was working as an artist when his trader brother invited him to visit the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Schaeffer promptly quit his job and became a clerk in that most iconic arena of raw capitalism. During the next six years, Schaeffer rose from clerk to trader, making markets on Eurodollar options in Chicago and heating oil options in New York. In that time, jammed literally shoulder-to-shoulder, he screamed, flailed his arms, hurled expletives, and pushed and shoved his way through his day. 
   
   
   
  In Life in the Pits, Schaeffer recalls the uneasy camaraderie of working right next to fierce competitors, the sheer intensity of dealing in stacks of money changing hands with a simple scream or hand signal, and the hijinks, excesses, and collection of characters as colorful as the jackets they wore, giving the listener an intimate look into what life was like down in the financial mosh pits. 
   
   
   
  A worthy successor to Liar's Poker and Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, Life in the Pits offers nuggets of wisdom on what makes a successful trader and the rules all must follow to survive in such an unforgiving environment. Schaeffer's often hilarious, yet sometimes profound, reflections take us on his personal journey from penniless artist to moving millions of dollars' worth of commodities in the blink of an eye.
