    Their paths to God's purpose led them together. 
    Many know the heroic story of Jim Elliot's violent death in 1956, killed along with four other missionaries by a primitive Ecuadorian tribe they were seeking to reach. Many also know the prolific legacy of Elisabeth Elliot, whose inspiring influence on generations of believers through print, broadcast, and personal testimony continues to resonate, even after her own death in 2015. 
    What many don't know is the remarkable story of how these two stalwart personalities-single-mindedly devoted to pursuing God's will for their young lives, certain their future callings would require them to sacrifice forever the blessings of marriage—found their hearts intertwined. Their paths to God's purpose led them together. 
    Now, for the first time, their only child—daughter Valerie Elliot Shepard—unseals never-before-published letters and private journals that capture in first-person intimacy the attraction, struggle, drama, and devotion that became a most unlikely love story. 
    Riveting for old and young alike, this moving account of their personal lives shines as a gold mine of lived-out truth, hard-fought purity, and an insider's view on two beloved Christian figures.

    From the New York Times–bestselling author of Seward and Stanton comes the definitive biography of John Jay: “Wonderful” (Walter Isaacson, New York Times–bestselling author of Leonardo da Vinci).   John Jay is central to the early history of the American Republic. Drawing on substantial new material, renowned biographer Walter Stahr has written a full and highly readable portrait of both the public and private man—one of the most prominent figures of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.   “The greatest founders—such as Washington and Jefferson—have kept even the greatest of the second tier of the nation’s founding generation in the shadows. But now John Jay, arguably the most important of this second group, has found an admiring, skilled student in Stahr . . . Since the last biography of Jay appeared 60 years ago, a mountain of new knowledge about the early nation has piled up, and Stahr uses it all with confidence and critical detachment. Jay had a remarkable career. He was president of the Continental Congress, secretary of foreign affairs, a negotiator of the treaty that won the United States its independence in 1783, one of three authors of The Federalist Papers, first chief justice of the Supreme Court and governor of his native New York . . . [Stahr] places Jay once again in the company of America’s greatest statesmen, where he unquestionably belongs.” —Publishers Weekly   “Even-handed . . . Riveting on the matter of negotiating tactics, as practiced by Adams, Jay and Franklin.” —The Economist   “Stahr has not only given us a meticulous study of the life of John Jay, but one very much in the spirit of the man . . . Thorough, fair, consistently intelligent, and presented with the most scrupulous accuracy. Let us hope that this book helps to retrieve Jay from the relative obscurity to which he has been unfairly consigned.” —Ron Chernow, author of Alexander Hamilton

    A little book of timeless wisdom by the founder of TinyBuddha.com: An “engaging, thought-provoking book” that explores life’s biggest questions (Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project).   What is the meaning of life? Why are relationships so hard? What does it take to be happy? The answers to these and life’s other questions are explored in author Lori Deschene’s Tiny Buddha.   In 2008, Deschene began asking life’s biggest questions on Twitter. The many insights that came flooding back to her became the starting point for this uniquely modern guide to life’s most ancient mysteries. Through the process of engagement, research, and personal reflection, Deschene learned that these questions unite us. And while no one answer is right for everyone, the simultaneous lack and abundance of answers is the answer.  Tiny Buddha combines many of the responses Deschene received with her own insightful essays and lessons from wise teachers throughout time, as well as practical tips and exercises to help you bring more meaning and intention to your life. Deschene also shares her own experiences overcoming depression, isolation, self-loathing, and a sense of meaninglessness. The result is a guide that helps readers discover the endless possibilities of a life lived mindfully in the present, connected to others.
