  The Galatians is the ninth book of the New Testament. It is a letter from Paul the Apostle to a number of Early Christian communities in Galatia. Scholars have suggested that this is either the Roman province of Galatia in southern Anatolia, or a large region defined by an ethnic group of Celtic people in central Anatolia. The language the letter was originally written in was Koine Greek and later translated into other languages.

  How many tough conversations have you had—or avoided—about politics, religion, social issues, or parenting? These topics often evoke strong, physical reactions: tension, a knot in the stomach, and rising anxiety. As perspectives clash, the fear of sparking a contentious debate can lead to frustration and division. 
  But it doesn’t have to be this way. 
  In Lose the Debate, Dr. Summer Allen introduces the ACTER model, a research-backed framework that equips readers to stay calm and open, even in tough conversations. ACTER stands for:A—Appreciate diverse opinionsC—Cultivate curiosityT—Identify triggersE—Regulate emotionsR—Practice respectful listening 
  When applied, ACTER helps ease the stress of difficult dialogues, enabling readers to understand others objectively and confidently express their own views. This straightforward model encourages small, practical steps toward mastering courageous conversations. 
  Lose the Debate is timely, addressing the divides straining relationships today. Living in silos stifles growth and limits meaningful connections. Dr. Allen shares her research to show that one conversation at a time can heal divides. Drawing from her experience training Fortune 500 leaders, public figures, and influencers, she teaches how to approach difficult topics with respect and emotional intelligence. 
  As the founder of a consulting firm dedicated to emotional intelligence, Dr. Allen provides skills to engage constructively in polarized conversations, using insights from 15 years of experience. Her book equips readers to approach sensitive topics thoughtfully, fostering greater understanding, connection, and respect.

  On Our Way Home from the...

  In 2014 Sonya Bilocerkowycz is a tourist at a deadly revolution. At first she is enamored with the Ukrainians' idealism, which reminds her of her own patriotic family. But when the romantic revolution melts into a war with Russia, she becomes disillusioned, prompting a return home to the US and the diaspora community that raised her. As the daughter of a man who studies Ukrainian dissidents for a living, the granddaughter of war refugees, and the great-granddaughter of a gulag victim, Bilocerkowycz has inherited a legacy of political oppression. But what does it mean when she discovers a missing page from her family's survival story—one that raises questions about her own guilt? 
   
   
   
  In these linked essays, Bilocerkowycz invites listeners to meet a swirling cast of post-Soviet characters, including a Russian intelligence officer who finds Osama bin Laden a few weeks after 9/11; a Ukrainian poet whose nose gets broken by Russian separatists; and a long-lost relative who drives a bus into the heart of Chernobyl. On Our Way Home from the Revolution muddles our easy distinctions between innocence and culpability, agency and fate.

  A poignant exploration of what it means to be Jewish today, from a leading voice in modern Judaism, Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove of Park Avenue Synagogue 
  For Jews today, the attack on Israel on October 7th has drawn a clear and irreversible demarcation in time. On that day, the Jewish community woke up to an unrecognizable new reality, witnessing the stark rise in antisemitism, the world’s oldest hatred, in its wake.  
  But even in this dark hour, the Jewish community is experiencing something profound and beautiful: a deep, abiding connection to community, culture, and faith. Drawing on the rich trove of Jewish history and tradition, Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove, one of today’s most influential thought leaders and spiritual guides, helps readers make sense of this fraught time. With warmth and wisdom, Rabbi Cosgrove explores the challenging questions embedded in the soul of contemporary Jewry. Where did all this antisemitism come from, and was it always there? How have Israel and Zionism shaped American Judaism, and what ties us and divides us today? How do we practice Judaism and understand our place in a world that has, without fail, in every century, turned against us? 
  Knitting together storytelling with ancient teachings, Rabbi Cosgrove helps navigate and understand the landscape of this new reality, turning over questions that have no clear or easy answer in the way only a very good rabbi can. 
  For thousands of years, the Jewish people have wrestled with what it means to be Jewish. In this often divisive era, Rabbi Cosgrove reminds of how we can come together despite—and even because of—our differences. For Such a Time as This is a guide for a new generation that is reconciling the past with the present and facing the unknown future with courage, spirit, and unwavering hope.

  "Martin King tells the human side of the story of the Battle of the Bulge better than anyone." 
  Commander Jeffrey Barta, US Navy (retired) 
   
  "I have walked the battlefields with Martin King, who has traversed them countless times with veterans of the Bulge. No one knows this story like Martin, and no one can tell it quite the way he does." 
  Rick Beyer, New York Times bestselling author of The Ghost Army of World War II 
   
  The vortex of a tornado is a vacuum, and that is where we were, in the centre of a storm of armour and artillery pushing forward into the Ardennes. 
  - John Hillard Dunn, 106th Division, US Army 
   
  The Battle of the Bulge was the largest land engagement of World War II. The German counter-attack, spearheaded by three Panzer armies, found the Allies unprepared and ill-equipped. As the fighting raged across the frosty forests of the Ardennes, it was left to a few untested US Infantry divisions to hold the Allied lines. Written by one of the world's leading experts on the subject, this account provides an essential introduction to the events of winter 1944-5 and to the many soldiers who risked their lives in defence of freedom. 
   
  Drawing on personal interviews, extensive research, and an unparalleled knowledge of the region, Martin King explores one of the most important battles of World War II.
