Summary

"Talk Radio Politics" explores the significant impact of political talk radio on civic discourse and the political landscape, despite the rise of digital media. It examines how hosts craft narratives, mobilize audiences, and influence elections, revealing its enduring power in shaping public opinion, especially among politically engaged citizens. The book highlights the importance of understanding this medium's mechanics and rhetorical strategies in today's complex political communication environment.

 
The book charts the evolution of talk radio, noting the impact of the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine, and analyzes the core elements of the genre: the charismatic host, dedicated listener base, and emphasis on opinion. It argues that political talk radio, while often criticized for partisanship and potential misinformation, also provides space for alternative viewpoints and fosters community. Emotional appeals and framing techniques are key to the medium's persuasive power.

 
The book progresses through detailed portraits of influential hosts, explores the psychological and sociological factors contributing to its persuasive power, and examines its real-world implications in shaping political campaigns and contributing to political polarization. Utilizing content analysis, listener surveys, and interviews, it offers a balanced perspective on both the positive and negative aspects of political talk radio's influence, making it valuable for students, journalists, and anyone interested in contemporary politics.

    If your heart is aching for proof that God is present in the darkest circumstances . . . that hope can emerge when all seems lost . . . and that love is still the greatest power on earth, Jeff Woodke's true story of survival and healing is for you. 
In October 2016, a year away from retiring as a missionary and humanitarian aid worker with Youth With a Mission in Niger, Africa, Jeff Woodke was making plans to move back to the United States and make a new life at home. Then the worst happened. 
On October 14, in the dusty town of Abalak in northern Niger, armed terrorists came at night and took Jeff captive. For the next six and a half years, he would endure unspeakable horrors at the hands of al-Qaida in Mali. Released on March 20, 2023, Jeff came home to his wife and grown children, two grandchildren, and memories coupled with PTSD that threatened to steal the little faith and hope he had left. 
This is Jeff's incredible story--a story of loss and redemption, brutality and forgiveness, soul-wrenching questions and soul-deep peace. Most of all, it's a profound testimony of how God carries us through suffering, giving us a radical faith that can withstand this world's deepest pain and come out on the other side with hope. 
All the Way Home invites you to discover anew the God who provides when we have nothing to offer, the God who is near those who wait and weep. The God who reminds us again and again that no darkness can overcome the healing power of his love.

    Moscow Rules - What Drives...

    From Moscow, the world looks different. It is through understanding how Russia sees the world—and its place in it—that the West can best meet the Russian challenge. 
 
 
 
Russia and the West are like neighbors who never seem able to understand each other. A major reason, this book argues, is that Western leaders tend to think that Russia should act as a "rational" Western nation—even though Russian leaders for centuries have thought and acted based on their country's different history and traditions. Russia, through Western eyes, is unpredictable and irrational, when in fact its leaders almost always act in their own predictable and rational ways. For Western leaders to try to engage with Russia without attempting to understand how Russians look at the world is a recipe for repeated disappointment and crises. 
 
 
 
Keir Giles, a senior expert on Russia at Britain's prestigious Chatham House, describes how Russian leaders have used consistent doctrinal and strategic approaches to the rest of the world. These approaches may seem alien in the West, but understanding them is essential for successful engagement with Moscow. Giles argues that understanding how Moscow's leaders think—not just Putin but his predecessors and eventual successors—will help counterparts in the West develop a less crisis-prone and more productive relationship with Russia.
