  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.

  Letters from a WWII Airman: How his faith sustained him, is the true story of one of those men from what we acknowledge as "the "Greatest Generation". Like so many who experienced war, Ken Hathaway (1918-2001) was reluctant to talk about those experiences, but the letters and scrapbooks he left behind contained information that, when pieced together, provided a compelling story of: 
  The experiences of training for and participating in aerial combat in World War II. 
  An account of being interned in a neutral country. 
  The importance of connections with family and friends. 
  The significance of his Christian faith. 
  The wartime romance that developed because of the military service.

  The story of the prophet Elijah's transformation from fierce zealot to compassionate hero and cherished figure in Jewish tradition 
   
   
   
  In the Bible Elijah is a zealous prophet, attacking idolatry and injustice, championing God. He performs miracles, restoring life and calling down fire. When his earthly life ends, he vanishes in a whirlwind, carried off to heaven in a fiery chariot. Was this a spectacular death, or did Elijah escape death entirely? The latter view prevailed. Though residing in heaven, Elijah revisits earth—to help, rescue, enlighten, and eventually herald the Messiah. Because of his messianic role, Jews open the door for Elijah during each seder—the meal commemorating liberation from slavery and anticipating final redemption. 
   
   
    
  How did this zealot turn into a compassionate hero—apparently the most popular figure in Jewish tradition? Becoming Elijah explores this question, tracing how Elijah develops from the Bible to Rabbinic Judaism, Kabbalah, and Jewish ritual (as well as Christianity and Islam). His transformation is pertinent and inspirational for our polarized, fanatical world.

  107 Days is a powerful memoir about leadership, resilience, and transformation under pressure.

The story blends the urgency of politics with the universal lessons of productivity and focus. From campaign war rooms to rallies across the country, it captures both the chaos of high-stakes decision-making and the quiet discipline required to lead with clarity. More than a chronicle of events, this audiobook offers insight into how moments of crisis can sharpen purpose, how trust is built under fire, and how determination can turn scarcity of time into strength. For listeners, it is both a gripping narrative and a motivational guide to facing their own compressed timelines with courage and strategy.
