Book excerpt: "[An] executive summary of modern political history studded with sweeping assertions and telling anecdotes." -- The New York Times Book Review "Thought-provoking." -- Kirkus Reviews “A shot in the arm...powerful.” -- The Financial Times "The Wake-Up Call, refreshingly concise and eminently readable, highlights how the modern crisis of governance compounded the challenges of the pandemic." -- Bloomberg "The Wake-Up Call argues that Covid-19 has exposed not just one president's shortcomings but a much more profound degeneration of governance dating back long before 2016...You will read no more interesting book on the political consequences of the pandemic than this." -- Niall Ferguson, author of Civilization: The West and the Rest NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2020 (BLOOMBERG) An urgent and informed look at the challenges America and world governments will face in a post Covid-19 world. The Covid-19 pandemic has revealed that governments matter again, that competent leadership is the difference between living and dying. A few governments proved adept at handling the crisis while many others failed. Are Western governments healthy and strong enough to keep their citizens safe from another virulent virus—and protect their economies from collapse? Is global leadership passing from the United States to Asia—and particularly China? The Wake-Up Call addresses these urgent questions. Journalists and longtime collaborators John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge identify the problems Western leaders face, and outline a detailed plan to help them become more vigilant, better prepared, and responsive to disruptive future events. The problems that face us are enormous; as The Wake-Up Call makes clear, governments around the world must re-engineer the way they operate to successfully meet the challenges ahead.

Book excerpt: The heart-wrenching account of a young mother widowed after the horrific 9/11 terrorist attack and her journey towards becoming a central activists in the fight for justice and peace. Kristen Breitweiser was a happy young mother and housewife leading a privileged life. Then, on the morning of September 11th, 2001, the phone rang. It was her husband, Ron, calling from his office in the second tower. "Sweets, I'm ok. I'm ok. Don't worry. It's not my building," he said. Kristen didn't know what he was saying. He told her to turn on the television. He continued. "I see them. They're right there. Right across from me. And they're jumping. My God, they're jumping." The call ended abruptly and Kristen watched with horror as the second tower exploded. A huge, brilliant, red fireball. In that frozen instant, she felt in her heart that he had been killed. This is the deeply personal, often shocking and ultimately inspirational story of a woman left to pick up the pieces of a life shattered by terrorism. With no husband by her side or father for her child, Kristen had to find the strength within herself to embark on a journey that would lead first to the creation of the 9/11 Commission and then to her role as one of the country's most outspoken activists and critics of the current administration.

Book excerpt: God doesn’t do anything in the earth without first revealing it to His prophets (Amos 3:7). It’s because of His mercy He always gives a wake-up call to prepare His people. In this moving and compelling series, Kenneth Copeland and Richard Roberts join Oral Roberts as he shares the vision--The Wake-Up Call-God--God has given him concerning the future of the United States, the Jews, the Christians and the world. Brother Roberts heard the voice of the Lord say, I’m making a sign. This is one of the signs of the end time because the world is not ready for the Second Coming of My Son. My Church is not ready for the Second Coming of My Son. Things will always happen exactly in the time God has chosen, and He’s given mankind many years to repent. God is not out of mercy, but he is out of time. His giving of visions and signs is proof God is still interested in us. Our part is to simply turn around and be obedient. God has given Kenneth Copeland a prophetic word concerning Brother Robert’s vision. And in part two of this series, Brother Copeland is joined by Gloria Copeland and Billye Brim to offer insightful and informative commentary and interpretation of Brother Robert’s sobering vision and God’s exciting plan for every man and woman who will respond to it. The Wake-Up Call is your call to walk fear-free and love-filled in the overflow of God’s glory instead of the overflow of sin’s darkness in these last days. It’s your call to be prepared to help when unprecedented events send a frightened, questioning world running to God for answers. Listen with your heart and respond in repentance, faith and love to The Wake-Up Call.
