  Oluwashola: The Story of Us This is not just a book. It’s Salt’s life. Her sister, Sholly’s life. Her family’s life. In all it’s perfectly imperfect glory. 
  When her baby sister, Oluwashola (Sholly) Arunrayo Adefolalu Gaska died on December 28, 2016, a part of Salt died along with her. She was going crazy and nobody knew it but the God in her. Eventually, God began to walk her through; guiding her to do things to help her make it through the black haze and writing this book was one of those things. 
  “Oluwashola: The Story of Us” is a beautiful story told in a very conversational style. It’s sometimes funny, sometimes sad and sometimes quite ugly. Just like Life. Salt’s prayer is that as you read, you will pick up as many lessons as possible; that you will be inspired to become intentional about ‘Being Love’ like God and that you will become determined to create as many memories with loved ones as you can.

  "The way of the cross is still the pain-wracked path to spiritual power and fruitfulness."
  
  "So do not seek to hide from it."
  
  "Do not accept an easy way."
  
  "Do not allow yourself to be patted to sleep in a comfortable church, void of power and barren of fruit."
  
  "Do not paint the cross nor deck it with flowers."
  
  "Take it for what it is, as it is, and you will find the rugged way to death and life. Let it slay you utterly." (A. W. Tozer, from "Coddled or Crucified?" in The Radical Cross)
  
  In this collection of short essays, Tozer considers with piercing conviction the offense and power of the cross. May you venture unguarded into this book, that you might be utterly changed.

  From the iconic image of a little boy saluting his father’s casket to his tragic death at age thirty- eight, John F. Kennedy, Jr., was never far from the public eye. Now the friend who John was flying to see the night he died reveals the private man behind the public myth. Billy and John shared summers in Hyannisport and formed a bond in the Kennedy compound that lasted well into adulthood. With Forever Young, Noonan offers a unique glimpse into the private life of his boyhood friend—his courtship with Carolyn, his relationship with his mother, Jackie, and his struggle with being the son of a great man he hardly remembered. Affectionate yet candid, Noonan’s deeply personal memoir ultimately emerges as the definitive portrait of the son of Camelot.

  In this memoir, a Canadian-American Jewish man recounts his training and service with Sayeret Duvdevan, an elite Israel Defense Forces special ops unit. 
   
  At the age of 18, Aaron Cohen left Beverly Hills to prove himself in the crucible of the armed forces. He was determined to be a part of Israel’s most elite security cadre, akin to the American Green Berets and Navy SEALs. After fifteen months of grueling training designed to break down each individual man and to rebuild him as a warrior, Cohen was offered the only post a non-Israeli can hold in the special forces. In 1996 he joined a top-secret, highly controversial unit that dispatches operatives disguised as Arabs into the Palestinian-controlled West Bank to abduct terrorist leaders and bring them to Israel for interrogation and trial. 
   
  Between 1996 and 1998, Aaron Cohen would learn Hebrew and Arabic; become an expert in urban counterterror warfare, the martial art of Krav Maga, and undercover operations; and participate in dozens of life-or-death missions. He would infiltrate a Hamas wedding to seize a wanted terrorist and pose as an American journalist to set a trap for one of the financiers behind the Dizengoff Massacre, taking him down in a brutal, hand-to-hand struggle. A propulsive, gripping read, Cohen’s story is a rare, fly-on-the-wall view into the shadowy world of “black ops” that redefines invincible strength, true danger, and inviolable security.

  Homegrown Terror - Benedict...

  This lively biography of America’s most famous traitor offers a new perspective on his terrible legacy as well as life in Revolutionary Era Connecticut. 
   
  On September 6, 1781, Connecticut native Benedict Arnold and a force of 1,700 British soldiers and loyalists took Fort Griswold and burnt New London to the ground. The brutality of the invasion galvanized the new nation, and “Remember New London!” would become a rallying cry for troops under General Lafayette.  
   
  In Homegrown Terror, Eric D. Lehman chronicles the events leading up to the attack and highlights this key transformation in Arnold—the point where he went from betraying his comrades to massacring his neighbors and destroying their homes. This defining incident forever marked him as a symbol of evil, turning an antiheroic story about weakness of character and missed opportunity into one about the nature of treachery itself.  
   
  Homegrown Terror draws upon a variety of primary sources and perspectives, from the traitor himself to his former comrades like Jonathan Trumbull and Silas Deane, to the murdered Colonel Ledyard. Rethinking Benedict Arnold through the lens of this terrible episode, Lehman sheds light on the ethics of the dawning nation, and the way colonial America responded to betrayal and terror.
