  Adolf Hitler's plan to eliminate Britain from WWII early using the destructive might of the Luftwaffe was thwarted by defeat in the Battle of Britain in 1940. 
   
   
   
  Still determined to force the British to surrender, Hitler launched a relentless night bombing offensive whose objective was to bomb Winston Churchill and his people into submission. 
   
   
   
  But he reckoned without the formidable courage and fighting spirit of the nation he was trying to conquer . . . 
   
   
   
  In Duel in the Dark Peter Townsend blends his own experiences of night fighting in the air war over Britain with stories from ordinary Londoners living with the terror of the Blitz to form an epic account of a country desperately defending itself against a mighty enemy. 
   
   
   
  Duel in the Dark is the sequel to Townsend's classic Duel of Eagles, one of the greatest books on the Battle of Britain ever written.

  This is small copy of the introduction of the book: Welcome to the fascinating journey through the life and legacy of John Calvin, a remarkable figure in the annals of Christian history. In this book, we will delve into the life of a man whose ideas and teachings have left an indelible mark on Protestantism and the broader theological landscape. As a seasoned historian with over four decades of experience in studying the complexities of ancient, medieval, and modern history, I'm excited to be your guide through the life of John Calvin. This book is not just a recounting of events but a journey into the heart and mind of a French theologian and pastor who reshaped the religious landscape of his time. 
  John Calvin was born on July 10, 1509, in Noyon, Picardy, France. Little did the world know that this unassuming birth would lead to a seismic shift in the Christian faith. His journey encompasses pivotal moments in the Protestant Reformation, theological debates, and the establishment of Reformed Protestantism. 
  Throughout this book, we will explore the significant events that shaped Calvin's life. From his early education in Paris to his conversion to Protestantism and his influential work, "Institutes of the Christian Religion," we will walk alongside him as he faces exile, controversy, and the challenges of religious leadership in Geneva. Calvin's impact extended beyond his time, as his theological writings, commentaries, and letters continue to inspire and influence theologians, scholars, and believers around the world.

  12 Rules for Life became a #1 National & International Bestseller for a simple reason… 
  (Please Note: This is a SUMMARY of Jordan B Peterson’s, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos) 
  Dr. Peterson unearths archetypal principles that shape our lives. He first observes that Order and Chaos are the two primordial forces of the Cosmos. Chaos is the realm of limitless possibilities, unsuitable for life. Order, on the other hand, is the world of rules, predictability, explanations, science, and conformity. 
  In the 12 Rules for Life, Dr. Peterson offers a roadmap to navigate these polar forces. The antidote to chaos is not merely order – it comes down to understanding the subtleties of life, realizing that virtue lies in the balance of the two extremes, and developing your own skills at the game. 
  Each Rule for Life will challenge you to examine your own approach to life and answer some tough questions about why you're living the way you do. It is only by transcending our own limitations that life becomes meaningful and rewarding. 
  Who will benefit from this book? 
  Whether you are an over-achiever burning through life, an under-achiever with perpetual overwhelm, or an intellectual seeking deeper truths of human nature, this audiobook is for you. 
  The 12 Rules cover a broad spectrum where you will find advice on how to manage your thoughts and emotions, how to thrive, how to get along with others, and how to find a greater sense of meaning in life. 
  DISCLAIMER: Testimonies show that our professional summaries introduce more readers to the full book who otherwise would have been overwhelmed by the initial commitment. Readers can use this summary as an introduction or a companion to the original, NOT AS A SUBSTITUTE.

  When Erica met John Baccus, it was the beginning of a love story that would span 41 unforgettable years-full of laughter, devotion, adventure, and quiet moments that stitched their souls together. Erica was the outgoing wife that wanted to travel the world and John was the supportive husband that never told her no. So when John was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and the choice came along, he asked Erica if she would help him end his life, and of course, her answer was yes. 
  In this deeply moving memoir, Erica Baccus invites readers into their intimate journey-through the beauty of their shared life, the heartbreak of decline, and the courageous choice John made to say goodbye on his own terms through assisted suicide. 
  A Promise Kept is more than a story of loss-it's a powerful testament to enduring love, dignity, and the strength it takes to honor a partner's final wish. With honesty and grace, Erica shows that even in the hardest moments, there is light, hope, and a different kind of happy ending. 
  This is their story.

  The Colony - Faith and Blood in...

  On the morning of November 4, 2019, a caravan of women and children was ambushed by masked gunmen on a desolate stretch of road in northern Mexico controlled by the Sinaloa drug cartel. Firing semi-automatic weapons, the attackers killed nine people and gravely injured five more. The victims were members of the LeBaron and La Mora communities—fundamentalist Mormons whose forebears broke from the LDS Church and settled in Mexico when their religion outlawed polygamy in the late nineteenth century. The massacre produced international headlines for weeks, and prompted President Donald Trump to threaten to send in the US Army. 
   
   
   
  In The Colony, Sally Denton delves into the complex story of the LeBaron clan. Their homestead—Colonia LeBaron—is a portal into the past, a place that offers a glimpse of life within a polygamous community on an arid and dangerous frontier in the mid-1800s, though with smartphones and machine guns. Rooting her narrative in written sources as well as interviews with anonymous women from LeBaron itself, Denton unfolds an epic, disturbing tale that spans the first polygamist emigrations to Mexico through the LeBarons' internal blood feud in the 1970s and up to the family's recent alliance with the NXIVM sex cult, whose now-imprisoned leader, Keith Raniere, may have based his practices on the society he witnessed in Colonia LeBaron.
