Sinopsis

In 'Benjamin Franklin', John S. C. Abbott offers a meticulous and enlightening investigation into the life and impact of one of America's most pivotal Founding Fathers. Abbott employs a narrative style that seamlessly integrates biographical detail with engaging anecdotes, giving a rich portrayal of Franklin's multifaceted character—scientist, diplomat, and philosopher. Set against the backdrop of the Enlightenment, Abbott contextualizes Franklin's contributions not only to American society but also to global thought, illuminating the spirit of innovation and social reform that defined the era. John S. C. Abbott, a prominent 19th-century historian and biographer, was deeply invested in the ideals of American democracy and education. His passion for accessible history stems from his belief in the power of individual agency, which he illustrates through Franklin's life story. Abbott's extensive background in education and his admiration for Franklin as a self-made man inspire a narrative that is as motivational as it is informative, capturing the essence of Franklin's influence on both his contemporaries and future generations. I highly recommend 'Benjamin Franklin' to readers seeking a compelling blend of biography and historical analysis. Abbott's work is not only a celebration of Franklin's extraordinary achievements but also a reflection on the values of perseverance and intellectual curiosity, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the formative years of America.

    The History of Kings is vividly brought to life in this emotionally charged narrative of King Josiah and his contemporaries. Although the major portion of this novel centers upon the life and reign of King Josiah in particular, his grandfather King Manasseh, and father King Amon, are also vividly portrayed in the early chapters of this book to illustrate the conditions under which the child Prince Josiah matured and came of age along with many youthful life adventures and experiences that helped to mold him into the great King and leader of his people that he was. 
    While the Scriptural history of the Kings is honorably held to with nothing sugar-coated or glossed over, much of what history does not tell us is also realistically included in this account, (such as King Manasseh's prison sentence in Assyria), to create a seamlessly flowing storyline, complete with the customs and lifestyle of ancient Judah, the beauty of the land, and many unique surprises and gems of wisdom that you will surely find to be well worth your reading and or listening time. The uncompromising integrity and strength of character that King Josiah displayed during an age of vile corruption is a shining historical legacy that will encourage your faith to stand strong against the many challenges of our modern times.

    A New York Times bestseller!An Amazon Best Books of 2014 selection"If you're reading this, it means I'm already dead. Just kidding."In 2009, at thirty years old, Bryan Bishop's life was right on track. Known to millions as "Bald Bryan," the sidekick and soundman on the record-setting podcast, The Adam Carolla Show, his radio career was taking off. He was newly engaged. Then, he and his fiancée Christie were delivered a crushing blow when he was diagnosed with a brain stem glioma—an inoperable brain tumor. Suddenly Bryan's promising future was transformed into a grueling schedule of radiation and chemotherapy while facing his mortality. In this poignant narrative that is alternately heartbreaking and hysterical, Bishop shares the surreal experiences of writing his will with the bravado of a pulp novelist, taking chemo in a strip club, and (technically) the closest he ever got to achieving his lifelong dream of a threesome—when a physical therapist had to show his wife how to bathe him in the shower during his weakened state.Whether recounting his search for the most aggressive form of treatment, how radiation treatment jeopardized his ability to (literally) walk down the aisle or even smile for his wedding photos, or recalling the time his wife inadvertently drugged him in a pool in Maui, Bishop's inimitable voice radiates through his story.As the author celebrates how treatment shrunk his tumor and gave him a new lease on life, Shrinkage reveals the resilience of the human spirit—and the power of laughter—during even the darkest times.
