    THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 
    From bestselling historian Saul David, a riveting new history of the British airborne experience across the Second World War. 
    The legendary ‘Red Devils’ were among the finest combat troops of the Second World War. Created at Churchill’s instigation in June 1940, they began as a single parachute battalion of 500 men and grew into three 10,000-strong airborne divisions: the 1st, 6th and 44th Indian, each composed of parachutists and glider-borne troops. Wearing their distinctive maroon berets, steel helmets and Dennison smocks, they served with distinction in every major theatre of the conflict – including North Africa, Sicily, mainland Europe and the Far East – and played a starring role in some most iconic airborne operations in history: the Bruneval Raid of February 1942; the capture of the Primasole, Pegasus and Arnhem Bridges in July 1943, June 1944 and September 1944 respectively; and Operation Varsity, the biggest parachute drop in history, near Wesel in Germany in March 1945. 
    Sky Warriors by Saul David is a Sunday Times bestseller that provides a modern, non-fiction account of Britain's military aviation history in the 20th century. This autobiography of the Red Devils is a compelling read for anyone interested in World War II. 
    For fans of Joseph Wheelan (Bitter Peleliu), Geoffrey Wawro (A Mad Catastrophe), Bob Drury (Throne of Grace), Al Murray (Arnhem), and Antony Beevor (D-Day).

    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.

    An Unlikely and Not-So-Funny Path to Redemption  
    Does God call us to difficult paths in order to transform us? 
    When Ann said yes to bringing two young foster boys into her home, she had no idea what a long haul she was signing up for. 
    After two difficult pregnancies, Ann chooses to open her home to two foster boys who eventually became eligible for adoption. Raising them alongside her biological children, their paths become conjoined forever—riddled with constant behavior issues from one and health issues for the other. 
    Suddenly at age 27, the oldest son needs to return home after suffering a catastrophic brain injury. Ann becomes his caretaker and is faced with the hardest questions in her life. 
    She throws up desperate pleas, unsure if the God she has believed in her whole life will hear her. In the process, love changes everything, and she comes face to face with the younger prodigal son who swore her out of his life. 
    When all her life plans come suddenly to a halt, will God find her in the mire? 
    A journey rich in growth, truth, and forgiveness with a dab of humor, this compelling story will leave readers with a tear in their eye and hope in their heart.
