Synopsis

In "Sir Walter Raleigh and His Time," Charles Kingsley presents a vivid and engaging portrayal of one of England's most enigmatic historical figures, Sir Walter Raleigh. Blending historical narrative with biographical analysis, Kingsley employs a vibrant literary style that captures the drama and complexity of the Elizabethan Age. The text weaves through the intricate tapestry of Raleigh's life, exploring themes of ambition, exploration, and the interplay of politics and personal fate against the backdrop of powerful figures like Queen Elizabeth I and the Spanish Armada. Kingsley's rich descriptions and robust prose immerse the reader in the period's cultural and historical context, making it a compelling read for history enthusiasts and literary scholars alike. Charles Kingsley was a renowned Victorian author and social reformer whose deep interest in history and the lives of influential figures fueled his writing. A contemporary of Raleigh's inspirational legacy, Kingsley's background in the church and his commitment to social issues likely influenced his sympathetically nuanced portrayal of Raleigh's character—an explorer who grappled with the tensions of duty, ambition, and morality in an era marked by colonial expansion and religious strife. "Sir Walter Raleigh and His Time" is recommended for readers seeking an insightful blend of biography and history. It stands as a testament to human resilience and ambition, while also opening a window into the cultural currents of the late sixteenth century. Kingsley's engaging narrative style ensures that both avid historians and casual readers will find a rich and thought-provoking exploration of a man whose life reflected an age of adventure, intrigue, and the quest for identity.

    From FOX & Friends Weekend cohost Pete Hegseth comes a collection of inspiring stories from fifteen of America’s greatest heroes—highly decorated Navy SEALs, Army Rangers, marines, Purple Heart recipients, combat pilots, a Medal of Honor recipient, and more—based on FOX Nation’s hit show of the same name. 
     
    After three Army deployments—earning two Bronze Stars and a Combat Infantryman’s Badge—Pete Hegseth knows what it takes to be a modern warrior. In Modern Warriors he presents candid, unfiltered conversations with fellow modern warriors and digs for real answers to key questions like: What inspired them to serve? What is their legacy? What does sacrifice really mean to them? How do they handle loss? And what can civilians learn from this latest generation of veterans?

Hegseth uses their experiences to facilitate conversations about the raw truths of combat, including the difficulties of transitioning back home, while also celebrating these soldiers’ contributions to preserving our nation’s most precious gift—freedom. 
    These stories provide an unvarnished representation of battlefield leadership, military morale, and the strain of war. This book is the perfect keepsake and gift for anyone who wants to know what it means, and what it truly takes, to be a patriot.

    God always keeps His promises, but not always in the way we expect…. 
    “Have faith” is a phrase we hear all the time. But what does it actually look like to live it out? In The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream examines the lives of biblical women to see how God’s plans can turn our worlds upside down. She tells the story of Jochebed, a mother who took enormous risks to protect her son, Moses, from Pharaoh. Could Jochebed have imagined that God’s actual design for her son involved flight into exile and danger? And yet this was all part of the master plan to deliver Israel from slavery. Another biblical mother, Rebekah, made terrible choices in an attempt to ensure her son’s place in history. And a daughter, Michal, struggled to keep her faithless father, Saul, from sin, while battling pride in herself. 
    Through these stories, Shannon explains the intimate connection between faith and family—and how God’s unexpected agenda can redefine the way we think about family. Not all of these mothers and daughters in the Bible were paragons of virtue. Like us, they were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best. While some heard God’s voice, others chose their own paths. Through the lens of their imperfections, we can see how God used their stories to bring about His divine plans. He’s still doing the same work in our lives today. 
    The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak shows that faith is more often a twisting road than a straight line. Yet, as the stories of biblical families attest, at the end of these journeys lies greater peace and joy than we could ever imagine.

    Two-and-a-half centuries after his death, the complex life of composer Johann Sebastian Bach continues to fascinate. 
    Bach's colorful life was anchored in his belief that "music has been ordered by God's Spirit"?so much so that he began each composition by scrawling Jesu, juva (Jesus, help me) at the top of a blank page and concluded each with S.D.G. (short for Soli Deo Gloria, to God alone be the glory). Through the eyes of noted music and culture writer Rick Marschall, the intensely personal yet boldly public faith that earned Bach the nickname "The Fifth Evangelist" takes on fresh meaning. From a survey of Bach's family and its deep Christian roots to a behind-the-scenes look at how he crafted his masterpieces, this book paints a picture of an astonishing figure and his relationship with his God.   Marschall brings Bach's enduring music and influence to the postmodern world and to all who would draw inspiration from his relentless pursuit of divinely ordained creativity.   
    Appendixes are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.
