Paperback. Condizione: Good. Since he was a child, Jeff Brodsky has wept for the downtrodden and mistreated. Years later, when he set out across the world to share God's love with the lowest of the low, Jesus' mandate to serve the least of these was imprinted on his heart. But when he learned of little children being sold as sex slaves for the sick pleasure of evil men, he burned with holy anger. That's when Jeff turned his awareness into action. Jeff's remarkable journey has wound from the slums of Bangladesh to the dumps of Cambodia to the storefront brothels of India. This man on a mission to free enslaved children, arrest their captors, and abolish sex trafficking from the earth has left no stone unturned. You will celebrate his victories-and be challenged to listen for God's call to you. The Least of These will change your life-so you can change the world.…

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. One of our nation?s most prominent writers discovers the truth about how to live a long and happy life from the centenarian next door in this ?original and highly readable account of a splendid American life? (The Wall Street Journal).When a veteran Washington journalist moved to Kansas, he met a new neighbor who was more than a century old. Little did he know that he was beginning a long friendship?and a profound lesson in the meaning of life. Charlie White was no ordinary neighbor. Born before radio, Charlie lived long enough to use a smartphone. When a shocking tragedy interrupted his idyllic boyhood, Charlie mastered survival strategies that reflect thousands of years of human wisdom. Thus armored, Charlie?s sense of adventure carried him on an epic journey of the Jazz Age, racing aboard ambulances through Depression-era gangster wars, improvising techniques for early open-heart surgery, and cruising the Amazon as a guest of Peru?s president. David Von Drehle came to understand that Charlie?s resilience and willingness to grow made this remarkable neighbor a master in the art of thriving through times of dramatic change. As a gift to his children, he set out to tell Charlie?s secrets. The Book of Charlie is a ?genuinely original, formula-shattering? (Bob Woodward) gospel of grit?the inspiring story of one man?s journey through a century of upheaval. The history that unfolds through Charlie?s story reminds you that the United States has always been a divided nation, a questing nation?a nation of Charlies in the rollercoaster pursuit of a good and meaningful life.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. New York Times BestsellerGoodreads Choice Award WinnerLeonard Nimoy and William Shatner first crossed paths as actors on the set of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Little did they know that their next roles as Spock and Captain Kirk, in a new science fiction television series, would shape their lives in ways no one could have anticipated. In seventy-nine television episodes of Star Trek and six feature films, they grew to know each other more than most friends could ever imagine. Over the course of half a century, Shatner and Nimoy saw each other through personal and professional highs and lows. In this powerfully emotional book, Shatner tells the story of a man who was his friend for five decades, recounting anecdotes and untold stories of their lives on and off set, as well as gathering stories from others who knew Nimoy well, to present a full picture of a rich life. As much a biography of Nimoy as a story of their friendship, Leonard is a uniquely heartfelt book written by one legendary actor in celebration of another. …

Paperback. Condizione: Good. "If you have a soul, you will be changed forever by Blaine Harden's Escape from Camp 14." --Mitchell Zuckoff, New York Times bestselling author of Lost in Shangri-La The heartwrenching New York Times bestseller about the only known person born inside a North Korean prison camp to have escaped North Korea's political prison camps have existed twice as long as Stalin's Soviet gulags and twelve times as long as the Nazi concentration camps. No one born and raised in these camps is known to have escaped. No one, that is, except Shin Dong-hyuk. In Escape From Camp 14, Blaine Harden unlocks the secrets of the world's most repressive totalitarian state through the story of Shin's shocking imprisonment and his astounding getaway. Shin knew nothing of civilized existence--he saw his mother as a competitor for food, guards raised him to be a snitch, and he witnessed the execution of his mother and brother. The late "Dear Leader" Kim Jong Il was recognized throughout the world, but his country remains sealed as his third son and chosen heir, Kim Jong Eun, consolidates power. Few foreigners are allowed in, and few North Koreans are able to leave. North Korea is hungry, bankrupt, and armed with nuclear weapons. It is also a human rights catastrophe. Between 150,000 and 200,000 people work as slaves in its political prison camps. These camps are clearly visible in satellite photographs, yet North Korea's government denies they exist. Harden's harrowing narrative exposes this hidden dystopia, focusing on an extraordinary young man who came of age inside the highest security prison in the highest security state. Escape from Camp 14 offers an unequalled inside account of one of the world's darkest nations. It is a tale of endurance and courage, survival and hope.…
