  A prophetic memoir bridging heaven and earth — the fulfillment of a 200-year-old promise. 
  In The Seventh Generation Blessing, Chaplain Dr. Shirley Mower Canniff uncovers a divine inheritance hidden across centuries — a legacy that began with her ancestor, Rev. Freeborn Garrettson, the 18th-century Methodist reformer and abolitionist whose faith ignited revival and whose prophecy declared that a female descendant would one day continue his mission. 
  Seven generations later, Dr. Canniff stands as the living fulfillment of that prophecy. Through dreams, music, ministry, and healing, she discovers that God’s covenant transcends time — restoring families, generations, and nations through the power of love and obedience. 
  From the vision of a Victorian attic filled with holy light to her baptism in the River Jordan, Dr. Canniff’s journey weaves together faith, family, music, and medicine into a tapestry of hope. 
  Her voice — both as a chaplain and prophetic worshiper — calls readers to rediscover their own generational purpose and divine assignment. 
  Through vivid storytelling and spiritual reflection, The Seventh Generation Blessing invites you to witness:The rediscovery of a sacred family lineage from colonial AmericaThe prophetic connection between Rev. Freeborn Garrettson and Dr. Canniff’s modern-day ministryThe birth of her healing outreach, The Joshua Connection for FamiliesThe sacred inspiration behind her album Somewhere Between the Heavens and the EarthA living example of how God’s promises pass from one generation to the next 
  “Freedom is the song of the Lord, and love is the sound of every generation redeemed.”

  HARRY TRUMAN 
  Like all Presidents of the United States, Harry Truman made both good and bad decisions. Both of these types of choices had lasting effects on our country and its foreign relations. 
  As you will soon discover, Truman served as President during some of the most challenging times in the history of the United States. He was sworn in during the 2nd World War, and as such had a lot of difficult decisions to make during a time of tumult, especially when the war was nearing its end. Many of his decisions, both during the war and afterwards are hotly debated to this day. 
  This biography of our 33rd President is not here to only focus on the good and ignore the bad. It’s here to portray the facts, showcase what Harry S. Truman had to deal with in the Oval Office, as well as outline the steps in his early life that took him to the Presidency. This book also covers his life after the Presidency and details how he transitioned from making decisions that affected a whole nation to back to being a regular Joe.

  Hanna Flint speaks from the heart in this personal and incisive reflection on how cinema has been the key to understanding herself and the world we live in. A staunch feminist of mixed-race heritage, Hanna has succeeded in an industry not designed for people like her. Interweaving anecdotes from familial and personal experiences—episodes of messy sex, introspection, and that time actor Vincent D'Onofrio tweeted that Hanna Flint sounded like a secret agent—she offers a critical eye on the screen's representation of women and ethnic minorities and their impact on her life, body image, and ambitions, with the humor and eloquence that has made her a leading film critic of her generation. Divided into the sections Origin Story, Coming of Age, Adult Material, Workplace Drama, and Strong Female Character, the book ponders how the creative industries could better reflect our multicultural society. Warm, funny, engaging, and full of film-infused lessons, Strong Female Character will appeal to listeners of all backgrounds and seeks to help us better see ourselves in our own eyes rather than letting others decide who and what we can be.

  For all its brevity, Intermezzo is a beautiful and deeply profound piece, rightfully considered Kotsubinsky's best work. It speaks of an artist's ongoing struggle to create in the midst of life and all its good, bad, and ugly aspects. It also acknowledges the need to escape and reset - but emphasizes this as a temporary measure only.

  A Telegraph Book to Read for Autumn 2022A Times Best Non-fiction Book for Autumn 2022A Daily Mail Book of the Year 2022A Waterstones Best Book of 2022: Biography 
  The astonishing new portrait of the master of spy fiction, by the woman he kept secret for almost half his life 
  John le Carré led a life entirely constructed of secrets. First as a British ‘spook’ during the Cold War, then as a world-renowned writer of espionage fiction, but also in his personal involvements. He guarded his private life with fierce determination, so that even when he finally permitted his life story to be written, there was still one element he insisted be excluded: the women. 
  Married with children for virtually all his adult life, le Carré – David Cornwell – had a number of secret affairs, usually conducted abroad with women encountered by chance on his travels. These relationships were always intense, dramatic, even tragic, yet each was destined to last no more than a few months. But there was one love affair that withstood the test of time; just one woman in all his life whom he took into the innermost sanctum of his writing and his heart. 
  The Secret Heart is the account of Suleika Dawson’s unique and enduring love affair with John le Carré. Written with fearless honesty and insight, the book sheds a bold new light on one of the foremost British writers of the 20th century and offers an alternative measure of the man over the literary legend. 
  Suleika Dawson's The Secret Heart is a riveting exploration of the hidden facets of a celebrated author's life, revealing a tale of enduring love that was as captivating as his award-winning crime narratives. This top-rated autobiography, a prize-winning entry among this year's collections, is a testament to the power of love and the allure of secrecy. 
  For fans of Robert D. Kaplan (In Europe's Shadow), Oliver Soden (Jeoffry), Anne Glenconner (Whatever Next?), David Fleming (Hellfire), and Thomas Harding (Legacy).
