Now, in How May I Offend You Today?, Lewis turns her trademark humor to ordinary events that work her nerves - from people who wear T-shirts with indecent images to public displays of affection in the plumbing aisle of Lowe's - while keeping a wry eye on herself and her own temptation to vent grievances "like a teenage girl in overalls and Birkenstocks. "Weaving together anecdotes from her distinctly Southern life with frequent references to the Bible, what she calls "our manual for living," Lewis says what many of us have thought, and in the process she encourages us to stand firm in our views. The witty yet down-to-earth banter and uplifting, inspirational message of How May I Offend You Today? gives listeners everywhere the boost necessary to make it through even their most trying days.

No Turning Back
Summary
Minutes before, the prosecutor had made his opening statement projecting only hatred and contempt toward my father, a missionary charged with rebellion. The police had arrested him the night before by covertly setting a trap. The press had already shamed and ridiculed him nationally and internationally, proclaiming his guilt on headline news before the hearing had even begun. The cold demeanor of the judge terrified us, and the odds seemed to be undeniably stacked against my dad. I looked at the judge's stern, intimidating eyes and wondered what my father would decide. She had laid the choice before him. He could face the trial (and be charged with 15 years or more in prison if she declared him guilty), or leave Colombia forever. "Choose the states," I prayed, "who knows what will happen to you here?" This book recounts some of the most important stories of my life, including how I found true love and how my father, Russell M. Stendal, was arrested and falsely accused of terrorism.

The Love of a Father
Summary
This book is a celebration of a father’s love. Much is written about a mother’s love, but little, if anything, is ever said about a father’s love for his children, except around Father’s Day. This insightful and thought-provoking book illustrates how a father’s love is forgiving, everlasting, unconditional...and often misunderstood. Using the Christian faith to show that fathers love as deeply as mothers, just differently, the book is designed to create “ah-ha” moments for readers who have previously not identified what the love of a father looks like. Through the use of Biblical scriptures, references, and examples, it highlights fathers in the Bible who modeled the love of a father, and challenges men to openly express the love of a father, as modeled in the word of God. It sets a mood of openness and receptivity for a topic not so often discussed and gives permission to the reader to expand his thoughts beyond what he sees to what can be possible. Married and divorced men with children will find the message empowering, versus hearing the usual societal message that a mother’s love is greater. Women with men in their lives who are fathers will better understand a father’s love. For children who do not have a healthy relationship with their father and have judged him not to love or care about them, this book will open their eyes to the ways men show love, and will challenge them to find their own father in that new revelation.

Dusk, Night, Dawn
Summary
"Anne Lamott is my Oprah." (Chicago Tribune) From the best-selling author of Help, Thanks, Wow comes an inspiring guide to restoring hope and joy in our lives. In Dusk, Night, Dawn, Anne Lamott explores the tough questions that many of us grapple with. How can we recapture the confidence we once had as we stumble through the dark times that seem increasingly bleak? As bad news piles up - from climate crises to daily assaults on civility - how can we cope? Where, she asks, "do we start to get our world and joy and hope and our faith in life itself back...with our sore feet, hearing loss, stiff fingers, poor digestion, stunned minds, broken hearts?" We begin, Lamott says, by accepting our flaws and embracing our humanity. Drawing from her own experiences, Lamott shows us the intimate and human ways we can adopt to move through life’s dark places and toward the light of hope that still burns ahead for all of us. As she does in Help, Thanks, Wow and her other best-selling books, Lamott explores the thorny issues of life and faith by breaking them down into manageable, human-sized questions for listeners to ponder, in the process showing us how we can amplify life's small moments of joy by staying open to love and connection. As Lamott notes in Dusk, Night, Dawn, "I got Medicare three days before I got hitched, which sounds like something an old person might do, which does not describe adorably ageless me." Marrying for the first time with a grown son and a grandson, Lamott explains that finding happiness with a partner isn't a function of age or beauty but of outlook and perspective. Full of the honesty, humor, and humanity that have made Lamott beloved by millions, Dusk, Night, Dawn is classic Anne Lamott - thoughtful and comic, warm and wise - and further proof that Lamott truly speaks to the better angels in all of us.

Freedom Fighter
Summary
It’s time to fight back! This is the true story of one man’s continuing fight for a world free of religious persecution. Majed El Shafie was arrested, tortured, and sentenced to die after he converted from Islam to Christianity. His dramatic story, and those of others worldwide who are suffering persecution, are told in shocking, yet sensitive detail. Especially startling is the true story of rescuing a very young Pakistani girl who experienced horrific sexual abuse - because her family would not convert to Islam. Although hard to imagine and even harder to accept, this important truth about religious persecution is blatantly exposed. Millions of families are praying for help. They are suffering daily in China, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, and many other countries - solely because of their beliefs. Freedom Fighter is Reverend El Shafie’s outreach. It follows his heroic work over a four-year period as he traveled to Pakistan and Afghanistan to investigate claims of abuse, persecution, and slavery and to speak truth to governments that neglect and violate the human rights of their citizens. This fight involves all believers - please help.
