  For eighteen years, Nora Lakheal has been relentlessly tracking down Islamist terrorists. Originally a philosophy student, the boxer from Barbès joined the police force as one would join a religion, but with a taste for action and the unexpected. She soon became the first woman to join the Group for Radical Islamism of SORS, the elite Intelligence Service. 
  Neither an exemplary life story, nor the umpteenth diary of a police officer, instead this book is the searing testimony of a woman who chose to risk her life – this is not said lightly - for her convictions and for France. In the image of this extraordinary personality, Elite Agent overturns all clichés and plunges us into the hectic career of an exceptional woman.

  It’s time we start looking at career success differently. 
  Perhaps you have heard the expression, “I’m at the bottom of the food chain.” This phrase is often used as reference to a person’s lack of power in the workplace or social group. And if you look at power and success in careers, the goal is typically to climb to the top and become a titan of the industry. 
  But does the top of the food chain hold all the power? Success? What if I told you that some of the most powerful people, right now, are at the bottom?  
  With a nature-based lens focused on careers, this book explores the power of lower-level positions in the workplace. For so long we’ve missed it.  
  You may not have “big wins” and all your career aspirations may not become your reality, but that doesn’t mean you are inadequate or that your value is reduced. Even the most seemingly minor actions, can contribute to something greater. 
  If you are exhausted from the efforts of trying to reach the top and feel like you failed because others around you have succeed in their careers in ways that you only dream of, take a break, and read this book. I’m not saying it's time to give up on your dreams, but it is time to see yourself for power that you have!

  ECPA Top Shelf Award Winner
  Long before it featured dramatically in the 2016 presidential election, Christian nationalism had sunk deep roots in the United States. From America's beginning, Christians have often merged their religious faith with national identity. But what is Christian nationalism? How is it different from patriotism? Is it an honest quirk, or something more threatening?
  Paul D. Miller, a Christian scholar, political theorist, veteran, and former White House staffer, provides a detailed portrait of—and case against—Christian nationalism. Building on his practical expertise not only in the archives and classroom but also in public service, Miller unravels this ideology's historical importance, its key tenets, and its political, cultural, and spiritual implications.
  Miller shows what's at stake if we misunderstand the relationship between Christianity and the American nation. Christian nationalism—the religion of American greatness—is an illiberal political theory, at odds with the genius of the American experiment, and could prove devastating to both church and state. Christians must relearn how to love our country without idolizing it and seek a healthier Christian political witness that respects our constitutional ideals and a biblical vision of justice.

  Michael's charismatic and highly successful wife Maggie showed the first signs of dementia in her mid-fifties. His experience of caring for her is quite exceptional: he lived with her in a care home for nine years, overseeing every aspect of her care and medical treatment. Michael chose to do this as an act of love, not wanting to be separated from his wife nor to leave her alone. But the result was that a highly experienced business consultant lived inside the care system for nine years, observing, guiding and negotiating care and medical treatment on Maggie's behalf, and is now able to share that story. In the experience of care professionals, this is unique. The lessons he learnt are so important that he has been urged by senior figures in the care sector to share his experience for the benefit of others and to promote much needed changes in the current care system.

  This program is read by the author.The empowering, inspiring, patriarchy-smashing first audiobook by podcast star Drew Afualo. With a new afterword from the author!Drew Afualo is best known as the internet’s “Crusader for Women” and is at the head of a new generation of entertainment’s rising stars. Loud is part manual, part manifesto, and part memoir. It makes it clear that behind her fearsome laugh is a mission and a life philosophy, a strategy for self-confidence from the inside out, and a pathway to once and for all remove men from the center of how women and femmes think about themselves.Afualo has amassed more than nine million followers across her social platforms. When she first started creating content in 2020, she realized that men on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and other apps were creating sexist content aimed at disparaging women, and also containing rampant fatphobia, racism, and other forms of bigotry, with very real-life consequences. It didn’t take long for her to step into the role of unofficial watchdog for misogyny, and her signature laugh is now recognized as a feminist call to arms, a summoning cry to rid the internet (and our hearts, minds, and lives) of “terrible men” and create a space to fight outdated patriarchal ideals.A Macmillan Audio production from AUWA Books.
