  An informative, fun and rather charming essay on the nature and history of one of life’s most desirable assets, Charm, by renowned culture and design critic, Stephen Bayley. 
  Aiming to wound, a schoolmaster wrote on future design-guru Stephen Bayley’s last ever school report “Charm alone will not get him through”. Bayley took this to mean that an affable, genial, outgoing nature was not enough to ensure survival in a harsh world of statistical performance. But survive and flourish is exactly what Bayley did and now he aims to define Charm by looking at its origins and meanings throughout history and in the modern age. 
  Stephen Bayley, a best-selling author and top critic, offers a short but insightful exploration of charm in his latest book. His artful criticism of societal norms and expectations makes this a must-read for anyone interested in personal development. 
  For fans of Philip Delves Broughton (What They Teach You at Harvard Business School), and Viv Groskop (How to Own the Room).

  Jean-Honoré Fragonard - The...

  Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806) punctuates the eighteenth century with a burst of fireworks, closing the arc opened by Watteau with his enchanting poems of love and melancholy. While Watteau was ethereal and profound, Fragonard was delightfully light. He captivates us even as he amuses himself, his emotional distance ever apparent. Specialising in "fêtes galantes" executed in the Rococo style, Fragonard was a pupil of François Boucher and also studied under Chardin. Heeding Boucher's advice, he portrayed romantic gardens replete with fountains, grottos, temples, and terraces—settings that also reveal the influence of Tiepolo. With King Louis XV as his patron, Fragonard shifted his focus towards depicting the pleasure-seeking and licentious court, offering scenes rich in love and voluptuousness.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Deceitful Intentions 
   
  “Talent is great, but having a message and a purpose is something well beyond.” 
  — Lauren Daigle 
   
  They were just three young siblings, lifting their voices at their mother’s hospital bedside while she lay in a coma. What began as a desperate prayer in song carried them farther than anyone could have imagined—propelling them onto the national stage of America’s Got Talent and introducing the world to Voices of Glory. 
   
  But behind the thunderous applause and bright lights, a storm was waiting. 
   
  Drawn to Branson, Missouri, by a contract promising their very own show, the family left everything behind—only to encounter betrayal, broken promises, and a test of faith that would shake them to the core. 
   
  Yet even in the darkest valleys, God allowed their story to shine. 
   
  Their journey of faith and resilience was shared by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. Christian Voice Magazine placed them on its cover. They appeared multiple times on TBN, were welcomed onto The Jim Bakker Show, featured through Bott Radio Network, and celebrated on Bobby Jones Gospel. Each moment was more than exposure—it was confirmation that God had called them to something greater. 
   
  Deceitful Intentions is not merely a story of betrayal—it is a living witness of redemption. 
   
  Of children who lifted songs through suffering. 
  Of parents and an uncle who refused to let go. 
  And of a faithful God who never left their side—shaping pain into promise, sorrow into song, and turning their journey into one powerful testimony.
