  In her midforties and settled into the responsibilities and routines of adulthood, Dani Shapiro found herself with more questions than answers. Was this all life was—a hodgepodge of errands, dinner dates, e-mails, meetings, to-do lists? What did it all mean? 
  Having grown up in a deeply religious and traditional family, Shapiro had no personal sense of faith, despite repeated attempts to create a connection to something greater. Feeling as if she was plunging headlong into what Carl Jung termed "the afternoon of life," she wrestled with self-doubt and a searing disquietude that would awaken her in the middle of the night. Set adrift by loss—her father's early death; the life-threatening illness of her infant son; her troubled relationship with her mother—she had become edgy and uncertain. At the heart of this anxiety, she realized, was a challenge: What did she believe? Spurred on by the big questions her young son began to raise, Shapiro embarked upon a surprisingly joyful quest to find meaning in a constantly changing world. The result is Devotion: a literary excavation to the core of a life. 
  In this spiritual detective story, Shapiro explores the varieties of experience she has pursued—from the rituals of her black hat Orthodox Jewish relatives to yoga shalas and meditation retreats. A reckoning of the choices she has made and the knowledge she has gained, Devotion is the story of a woman whose search for meaning ultimately leads her home. Her journey is at once poignant and funny, intensely personal—and completely universal.

  Faith That Fed Thousands: The True Story of George Müller’s Radical Trust in God 
  What happens when one man decides to rely on prayer alone to meet every need? 
  Sincere attempts to define George Müller as a preacher, evangelist, or a man who cared for the poor, fail to illustrate why you should read about him. 
  The man who cared for over 10,000 orphans and established 120 schools is best remembered for the principles by which he lived his life - principles that are now within your reach. 
  Hear, in Müller’s own words, his early days caught in theft and deceit, his conversion to Christ, his reliance upon the Bible alone as his foundation for truth. Hear of his faith – grown large enough to move mountains. 
  In this first part, Müller documents those initial mountains down the nearest penny, the thinnest spool of thread, and the last soul hungry for the gospel. All achieved without a salary, nor requesting any donation from anyone. 
  Now turned into an audiobook, with chapter headings, plus an introduction by author and narrator David G. Allen, this version of A Narration gives readers appropriate resting points, a sense of direction, and greater anticipation of each step in Müller’s journey. 
  It’s more than an autobiography. It’s a living testimony of what faith can do. 
  Explore a life whose legacy is sealed in the record books of heaven.

  Dive into the dark yet irresistibly compelling world of "The Story of an Awakening", a psychological thriller about an artist stripped of everything but his unquenchable thirst for truth. 
  Elias Burton was once a dazzling painter whose canvases captivated audiences—until the betrayal of someone close shattered not only his career but his faith in himself.

  Perfectly balanced between psychological drama and enigmatic investigation, "The Story of an Awakening" will make you feel every emotion alongside its hero, keeping you on edge until the very end. Open the book—and experience one man's journey back from the shadows to claim his right to the dawn.

  Jason Dunkerley’s Visions of Hope: Running Towards My Own Truth is the uplifting autobiography of a world-class Canadian middle-distance runner. Blind from birth with a congenital eye condition, Jason achieved international acclaim as a five-time Paralympic medalist and world champion. In telling his story, Jason introduces the reader to the behind-the-scenes intricacies of top-tier athletics: the drudgery and painful rigours of intensive training; the building of rapport among athlete, guide, and coach; the development and implementation of winning strategies; the never-ending struggle to excel; the searing letdown of defeat, and the euphoric triumph of victory. Jason, born in Northern Ireland, emigrated to Canada with his family in 1991 when he was thirteen. He never let his lack of sight diminish his drive to live life to the fullest or prevent him from developing his innate athletic talent while also inspiring others, regardless of their abilities, to achieve personal fulfillment through sport. Bruce Kidd, a fabled Canadian Olympian and Professor Emeritus of Sport Politics and Policy at the University of Toronto, calls Visions of Hope “an insightful, at times poetic, account of the life of a Canadian Paralympian.”

  How Ronald Reagan Changed My Life

  On February 6, 2001, my nine-year-old daughter happened to wander into the room during a television segment marking Ronald Reagan's ninetieth birthday. She watched for a moment. Then she turned to me and asked, ""Dad, is that the President you worked for?"" 
  What answer could I give her? How could I make her see? I wanted my daughter to recognize that the world she inhabited was freer and more prosperous because of that old, old man on television. But I also wanted her to grasp my personal debt to him, to understand all that he taught me-how to work and how to relax, how to think and how to use words, how to be a good husband, how to approach life itself... 
  I needed to tell my children how Ronald Reagan changed my life. 
  In 1982, as a young man, Peter Robinson was hired as a speechwriter in the Reagan White House. During the six years that followed, he was one of a core group of writers who became informal experts on Reagan, absorbing not just his political positions but his personality, manner, and way of carrying himself And the example Reagan set-as a confident, passionate, principled, generous-spirited older man-molded Robinson's outlook just as he was coming into his own. ""Hard work. A good marriage. A certain lightness of touch,"" he writes. ""The longer I studied Ronald Reagan, the more lessons I learned."" 
  At the core of How Ronald Reagan Changed My Life are ten of the life lessons Robinson learned from the fortieth President-principles that have guided his own life ever since. But it also offers a warm and unforgettable portrait of a great yet ordinary man who touched the individuals around him as surely as he did his millions of admirers around the world. 
  Drawing on journal entries from his days at the White House, as well as interviews with those who knew the President best, Robinson etches his portrait with fresh observations, telling detail, and that ""certain lightness of touch"" that recalls the master himself The result is nothing less than a love story-an account of the profound respect and affection that one young man came to feel for the President who changed his life forever.
