  Celebrated for her innovative literary bravura, Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) settled into a bustling Paris at the turn of the twentieth century, never again to return to her native America. While in Paris, she not only surrounded herself with—and tirelessly championed the careers of—a remarkable group of young expatriate artists but also solidified herself as "one of the most controversial figures of American letters" (New York Times). 
  In Paris France with a new introduction from Adam Gopnik-Stein unites her childhood memories of Paris with her observations about everything from art and war to love and cooking. The result is an unforgettable glimpse into a bygone era, one on the brink of revolutionary change.

  Finalist for the best biography of the year with Christian Book Awards.The life, thought, and  legacy of C. S. Lewis—a Prophet for our TimesOne of the most brilliant minds of the twentieth century,  C. S. Lewis bridged literature, philosophy, and religion. He taught at Oxford and Cambridge, all the while communicating  in a clear, winsome manner that ordinary men and women could comprehend. He gave us masterpieces like The Screwtape Letters,  The Chronicles of Narnia, Mere Christianity, The Problem of Pain, and still more. In this  fascinating biographical study Not a Tame Lion, author Terry Glaspey points out that Lewis’ life was as compelling  as his work. Glaspey gives readers a glimpse of the character of this extraordinarily gifted man—who believed that  his sharp mind and rich imagination were to be accompanied by a sense of responsibility to the wider world. If Lewis were  alive today, he would see the fruition of trends he warned against many years ago. His continued relevance is based on his  understanding of the human predicament—a predicament that is intellectual and moral, as well as spiritual. Lewis points  the way out of this predicament, but it’s not an easy way. It requires submission to God's authority, moral discipline,  and integrity of action. Lewis shows how our lives can be lived in light of eternity and can demonstrate the hope that endures,  even in these shadowlands.
