In September 2008, Alaska Governor and vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin delivered a speech at the Republican National Convention that electrified the GOP's conservative base. But as the campaign unfolded, Palin became a lightning rod for criticism. Democrats, forgetting feminism, mocked her as an empty-headed beauty queen and bad mother, while some GOP insiders leaked complaints to the press that she was "going rogue" as an outspoken conservative. Now, in her eagerly anticipated memoir, Going Rogue, Sarah Palin tells her side of the story -- about her life, her family, her principles, her career, her vice- presidential candidacy. . . and her possible political future.

She has been threatened, ridiculed, smeared and vilified in the liberal media -- but beauty queen Carrie Prejean is still holding her head high. Now, in Still Standing, Prejean tells her side of the tumultuous story of how a beauty pageant contestant became nationally notorious, a villain of the amoral Left, and a hero of those who have faith in God and sound moral values -- which are more valuable than any earthly crown.

When most of us hear the name "Saint Nicholas," we immediately think of Santa Claus. But if asked why Santa sometimes goes by this alias, we might be at a loss for a satisfactory answer. Too bad: the real St. Nicholas, a fourth-century bishop who may have attended the famous Council of Nicaea in 325, was a fascinating if elusive figure whose name has been invoked, and selfless deeds recounted, for hundreds of years. Now, in The True St. Nicholas, the bestselling author, radio talk-show host and former Secretary of Education William Bennett brings Saint Nicholas's story to life, and shows why it is still relevant today.

"Washington is broken," said Barack Obama while on the campaign trail, and he's busy making it worse. While an adoring media heaps on adulation, Obama has (at an "historic" and "unprecedented" record pace, according to his media sycophants) presided over the appointment of an appalling rogue's gallery of crooks, cronies and tax cheats to the highest levels of our government -- while reneging on promises to make government more transparent and accountable to ordinary Americans. Now at last, in Culture of Corruption: Obama and His Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks & Cronies, bestselling author Michelle Malkin tears to shreds the mythical Obama constructed by the liberal media, and tells the full story about how this sinister new administration started out corrupt and is only getting more corrupt.

Is death the end? That's the ultimate question that has preoccupied mankind from the beginning of time to the present. And in truth, there is no more important question in life -- it is the one issue that makes every other issue trivial, for death is the great wrecking ball that destroys everything. But does anything lie beyond that great disruption, that terrible dissolution? Bestselling author Dinesh D'Souza answers that question with a resounding "yes." In his new blockbuster, Life After Death: The Evidence, he offers solid proof that death is not the end -- and shows why the rational side of this debate is the side that believes in the afterlife, while those clinging to blind faith are the ones who say that the end of this life is the extinguishing of all human existence.

Contemporary art is so divorced from – indeed hostile to -- Christianity, that one must occasionally be reminded how important Christian subjects were to the art of past centuries. Indeed, Christianity seems to have inspired the artistic imagination like nothing else -- it's surely no accident that all of the so-called Great Masters flourished when Europe was still overwhelmingly Christian. Now, The Lion Companion to Christian Art surveys the whole magnificent legacy of Christian art, showing how art has both reflected and stimulated Christian thought and experience throughout the ages. Sumptuously illustrated with more than 200 full-color images of paintings, sculptures, illuminated manuscripts, and other works, this is a comprehensive look at how the world's finest artists have sought to convey the stories, beliefs, and mysteries of the Christian faith.

With the possible exception of Ronald Reagan, no 20th century statesman did more to preserve freedom and democracy than Winston Churchill. None, certainly, provided more public entertainment with his dramatic ups and downs, his noble oratory, his powerful writings and sayings, his flashes of rage, and his sunbeams of wit. He took a prominent place on the public stage of his country and the world for over sixty years, in an astonishing variety of roles -- soldier, parliamentarian, Prime Minister, orator, writer, painter, and devoted family man. How did one man do so much, for so long, and so effectively? Now, in Churchill, the renowned British historian Paul Johnson -- author of the bestsellers Modern Times and A History of the American People -- shows how all of the phases of facets of Churchill's life and character combined to make him one of the most complex and fascinating men in history.

Ever since Ronald Reagan left office in 1989, liberal historians have been doing their best to sully his reputation and smear him as a "failed" President -- but now, in The Age of Reagan: The Conservative Counterrevolution 1980-1989, historian Steven F. Hayward sets the record straight. Hayward examines Reagan's well-known foreign policy and decisive role in the ending of the Cold War –- easily the most dramatic element of Reagan's tumultuous and triumphant presidency -- but also sheds much-needed light on Reagan's domestic policy, showing why these two aspects of Reagan's presidency should rightly be viewed as a unity.

For most Americans today, Christmas has become synonymous with shopping, spending, and stress. But according to former governor (and former pastor) Mike Huckabee, we can still recapture the true spirit of Christmas. "The first Christmas was a simple one," writes Huckabee. "So simple that it had all the makings of a first-class disaster. It's a miracle it turned out well at all. In fact, that's the whole point. It really was, and remains, a miracle -- the greatest miracle of all time. And it really was simple." Now, in A Simple Christmas, Huckabee recounts twelve Christmas memories from his own life that illustrate the true meaning of the original Nativity, and that teach us that, indeed, sometimes the simplest things are the most precious.

Isn't it just like liberals to diminish genuine racial and cultural diversity in the name of respecting it? That's what they've done with Huckleberry Finn, perhaps the greatest anti-slavery novel ever written, now tarred as "racist." And that's what they did with the tales of "Uncle Remus" -- a collection of African American folktales, many with roots in Africa itself, adapted and compiled by Joel Chandler Harris in the 1880s. Beloved by generations of Americans, black and white, these funny but pointedly moral stories about Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, Brer B'ar and Brer Wolf were akin to - and on a par with -- Aesop's fables. read more
