Book excerpt: Triumph of Hope From Theresienstadt and Auschwitz to Israel Now available in English, here is the award-winning and internationally acclaimed testament of a Jewish woman who was taken to Auschwitz while several months pregnant, where she was forced to confront perhaps the most agonizing choice ever imposed upon any woman, upon any human being, so that both she and her newborn infant should not die in a Nazi "medical" experiment personally conducted by the infamous Dr. Josef Mengele. And just as vividly, Ruth Elias recounts the aftermath of her imprisonment, and the difficult path to a new life in a new land: Israel, where new challenges, new obstacles awaited. "One of the most powerful memoirs provided to us by a survivor." --Indiana Jewish Post and Opinion "Well-written...not only provides a remarkably honest picture of the unspeakable reality of living in ghettos and slave-labor and death camps, but also what it meant to be Jewish in Europe in the 1920s and 1930s...This is one of the best Holocaust memoirs I have read." --Washington Jewish Week "The understated tone of this memoir adds to the author's powerful re-creation of her life as a young Czechoslovak Jewish woman during the Holocaust." --Publishers Weekly

Book excerpt: Conservative radio host and syndicated columnist Dennis Prager provides a bold, sweeping look at the future of civilization with Still the Best Hope, and offers a strong, cogent argument for why basic American values must triumph in a dangerously uncertain world. Humanity stands at a crossroads, and the only alternatives to the “American Trinity” of liberty, natural rights, and the melting-pot ideal of national unity are Islamic totalitarianism, European democratic socialism, capitalist dictatorship, or global chaos if we should fail. America is Still the Best Hope, as this eminently sensible, profoundly inspiring volume so powerfully proves.

Book excerpt: On the morning of April 22, 1986, Joel Rothschild was rushed to the hospital suffering from AIDS-related pneumonia. From that day, his life became a weary and surreal maze of experimental drug trials, support groups, memorial services for lost loved ones, opportunistic infections, and hospital stays. Through all of this, Rothschild refused to succumb to what he saw so many of his peers fall victim to: the stigma of AIDS, the emotional isolation, or worst of all, the final end of suicide. Instead, he chose to live as simply as possible, continually trying to see beyond fear and self-sabotaging thoughts to what each day brought. Rothschild gained hope and strength knowing he'd survived so much loss and physical suffering, growing more confident with each bout of depression or illness he overcame. The power and inspiration readers will take away from Hope comes from knowing how he has survived when millions of others have not. In his arduous process to re-join the land of the living, Joel realized that physical suffering and pain is a circumstance that will always come to an end. We can choose to escape it, however it is only by meeting this suffering head-on that we will truly see our life as a wondrous existence and know peace. -- The miraculous journey beyond fear of one of the world's longest living AIDS survivors -- A noted activist and talk-show guest, Rothschild received the prestigious TV Cares Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in 2001

Book excerpt: In the small, vibrant city of Port Harcourt, nestled along the banks of the Bonny River, a young boy named Hope Etim gazed out at the world with wide, curious eyes. His heart was filled with innocence and wonder, unaware of the challenges and hardships that lay ahead. Hope was just a child when he lost his father, a tragedy that would shape the course of his life and propel him on a journey of triumph against all odds. Hope's mother, Ruth, was a pillar of strength and resilience. As a single mother, she bore the weight of providing for her son and nurturing his dreams. Despite their meager means, Ruth instilled in Hope a deep-rooted belief that he was destined for greatness, that he had the power to rise above their circumstances and create a better future. The loss of his father at such a tender age left a void in Hope's heart-a void that could only be filled with the unwavering love and guidance of his mother. Ruth worked tirelessly, taking on multiple jobs to ensure that her son had a roof over his head, food on the table, and the opportunity to receive an education. She sacrificed her own dreams and aspirations, pouring all her love and resources into giving Hope the chance to succeed. Growing up in a humble home, Hope witnessed the struggles and hardships faced by his mother and the countless other families in their community. The harsh realities of poverty and inequality were starkly apparent, but Hope refused to let despair consume him. Instead, he embraced his mother's teachings of hope, perseverance, and the power of education. As Hope entered the halls of school, he discovered a thirst for knowledge that burned within him. Despite the lack of resources and proper infrastructure, he devoured every book he could get his hands on, immersing himself in a world of imagination and possibility. With each passing day, his dreams grew bolder, his aspirations reaching far beyond the boundaries of his humble surroundings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The civil rights movement was arguably the most successful social movement in American history. In a provocative new assessment of its success, David Chappell argues that the story of civil rights is not a story of the ultimate triumph of liberal ideas after decades of gradual progress. Rather, it is a story of the power of religious tradition. Chappell reconsiders the intellectual roots of civil rights reform, showing how northern liberals' faith in the power of human reason to overcome prejudice was at odds with the movement's goal of immediate change. Even when liberals sincerely wanted change, they recognized that they could not necessarily inspire others to unite and fight for it. But the prophetic tradition of the Old Testament--sometimes translated into secular language--drove African American activists to unprecedented solidarity and self-sacrifice. Martin Luther King Jr., Fannie Lou Hamer, James Lawson, Modjeska Simkins, and other black leaders believed, as the Hebrew prophets believed, that they had to stand apart from society and instigate dramatic changes to force an unwilling world to abandon its sinful ways. Their impassioned campaign to stamp out "the sin of segregation" brought the vitality of a religious revival to their cause. Meanwhile, segregationists found little support within their white southern religious denominations. Although segregationists outvoted and outgunned black integrationists, the segregationists lost, Chappell concludes, largely because they did not have a religious commitment to their cause.
