    Never before has anyone explored the mind, soul, and heart of Ronald Reagan. The Search for Reagan explores the challenges and controversies in Reagan's life and how he successfully dealt with each, depicting a man who was never as conservative as some conservatives wanted him to be, but rather as conservative as he was comfortable being—a man who wanted to win on his own terms and integrity. 
 
 
 
Ronald Reagan was a singularly unique man and conservative who championed a wildly successful revolution—leading to more freedom and less government for the American people and to the fall of communism, while boosting American morale. He was the first president in many years who believed optimism from the Oval Office had a direct bearing on the affairs of the nation. As a consequence, he left office more popular than when he entered, with a whopping 73 percent approval. He understood that American conservatism was based upon the individual and not the group. In his presidency, he solved the mystery of high inflation that had bedeviled his predecessor, high interest rates, and high gas prices. He created over twenty million new jobs, and the number of American millionaires grew from 4,414 to 34,944. He is considered by most historians to be one of our four greatest presidents, along with George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Roosevelt.

    We are all patient with beginners, extending compassionate grace to anyone learning a new skill. But what about the woman just beginning her marriage journey? What about the woman, ten years in, who still wishes she had a marriage manual to help make sense of challenges she never anticipated?  
Discover a fresh marriage manual that offers practical wisdom illustrated through the author’s personal stories and experiences over the course of her four decade marriage. Each chapter is uniquely devoted to one of the critical characteristics the author deems essential to a happy marriage. Whether 12 weeks or 12 years in, this book extends understanding and hope to those still learning the ins and outs of marriage: those whom the author calls–beginner wives. 
From the Introduction: 
“I’ll let you in on a little secret: Other women don’t have perfect husbands; they’ve simply learned how to enjoy the husbands they have! In this book I share what worked for me, where I missed the mark (so you don’t have to), and how establishing and sharing a core set of values with my husband not only influenced my early years of becoming a wife, but also how I balanced that role with being a mother of six children. I’ve devoted each chapter to the critical characteristics that I’ve found to be essential to a happy marriage. And the best part is that each of these characteristics is available to you if you’re willing to do the work. 
"If you’re a woman who wants to prepare for a marriage she doesn’t have yet, and then carry the honeymoon phase through to the very end, this book is for you. If you’re a woman looking to thrive in your marriage, and gain the tools to consistently support and elevate each other through all of life’s seasons, this book is for you. If you're a woman who wants to be intentional about actually enjoying — not resenting — your husband and your marriage, then this book is for you. Welcome!”

    On December 4th, 1872, a 100-foot brigantine was discovered drifting through the North Atlantic without a soul on board. Not a sign of struggle, not a shred of damage, no ransacked cargo—and not a trace of the captain, his wife and daughter, or the crew. What happened on board the ghost ship Mary Celeste has baffled and tantalized the world for 130 years. Brian Hicks plumbs the depths of this fabled nautical mystery and uncovers the truth. 
 
 
 
The Mary Celeste was cursed as soon as she was launched on the Bay of Fundy in 1861. Her first captain died before completing the maiden voyage. In London she accidentally rammed and sank an English brig. Later she was abandoned after a storm drove her ashore at Cape Breton. But somehow the ship was recovered and refitted, and in 1872 she fell to the reluctant command of a seasoned mariner named Benjamin Spooner Briggs. It was Briggs who was at the helm when the Mary Celeste sailed into history. 
 
 
 
The story of the Mary Celeste becomes the quintessential tale of men lost at sea. Hicks vividly recreates the events leading up to the crew's disappearance and then unfolds the complicated and bizarre aftermath. Brian Hicks reveals the truth is actually grounded in the combined tragedies of human error and bad luck.
