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.

During his campaign, Barack Obama repeatedly promised to defend the little guy against the evils of corporate America. But the reality is precisely the opposite: President Obama's policies are spelling gargantuan profits for the biggest and most well-connected businesses -- at the expense of their competitors, small businesses, consumers and taxpayers. Now, in Obamanomics: How Barack Obama Is Bankrupting You And Enriching His Wall Street Friends, Corporate Lobbyists, And Union Bosses, investigative reporter Tim Carney reveals how Obama's dramatic shift towards big government is yielding huge benefits for big business and their lobbyists -- and losses for average Americans.

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.

"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.

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.

The Federal Reserve: most people think of it as an indispensable institution without which the country's economy could not properly function. But in reality, it constitutes the primary obstacle to a smoothly functioning, prosperous American economy. In End the Fed, eleven-term Texas Congressman Ron Paul reveals why.

In 2004, Anthony Flew -- perhaps the most famous philosophical atheist of the twentieth century -- declared himself a theist, or more accurately a Deist. Not long before that, in 2003, Flew and his longtime friend Gary Habermas, who is arguably the world's leading expert on the historicity of the Resurrection of Jesus, debated that topic at a Veritas Forum in California -- with Habermas making the case for rational belief in the Resurrection on the basis of the evidence, and Flew arguing for alternative understandings of the evidence presented. Now, Did the Resurrection Happen? presents the full content of their third and final debate, as well as transcripts of the Q & A session with the audience afterward. Also included are a 2004 conversation between Habermas and Flew shortly after Flew's much-publicized change of position, as well as editor David Baggett's assessment and analysis of the full history of Habermas and Flew's interactions.

Darwin's Dilemma: The Mystery of the Cambrian Fossil Record examines what many consider to be the most powerful refutation of Darwinian evolution—the Cambrian fossil record. The Cambrian explosion has been called the most spectacular event in the history of life, for in a moment of geological time complex animals first appeared on earth fully formed, without evidence of any evolutionary ancestors. This documentary delivers information that points unmistakably to foresight, purpose, and intelligent design. read more

At its birth, America justified its independence by asserting truths said to be self-evident, according to "the Laws of Nature and Nature's God." Yet in many circles today -- especially among the learned elites of our universities and law schools the self-evident truths upon which America depends have been supplanted by the passionately held belief that no such truths exist. As a result, the federal government aggressively pursues "change" with little or no regard for the limits placed upon it by the Constitution, which many now regard as obsolete. Solution? We must restore America's founding principles as the central idea of our nation's public philosophy. Now, in We Still Hold These Truths, Matthew Spalding of The Heritage Foundation recalls America's first principles as they were understood by our Founders, in the context of our nation's history and its constitutional development from roots deep in Western civilization.

Now, in A Cracking of the Heart, Horowitz, the noted conservative author and activist, explores the legacy of his extraordinary daughter's short life, and narrates his quest for a deeper understanding of the child he lost.

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.

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.

In 1776, Tom Paine published Common Sense -- the case for revolution made with logical, straightforward, indisputable arguments. "Today," says TV and radio sensation Glenn Beck, "we find ourselves back in 1776 -- but this time our path forward isn't so clear-cut." That's why he wrote Glenn Beck's Common Sense: The Evolution of Thomas Paine's Revolution -- an incisive indictment of the abuses being perpetrated by our government, and a clear path back to sane democratic rule.

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.

They did it to Dan Quayle, they did it to George W. Bush, and they've done it to numerous other conservative politicians: liberal media talking heads and late-night comedians chortle repeatedly and relentlessly over their flubs, their gaffes, their errors -- and their alleged scandals, incompetence, and stupidity. The plan is to get the whole country laughing at the victim of this tactic, so that his effectiveness on the national stage is ended, and his political career in ruins. It worked with Quayle, and severely damaged Bush. But every now and then a conservative politician emerges who is courageous and intelligent enough to defeat this nasty and brutal assault: one of them was Ronald Reagan, who trounced the liberal media in 1980 and 1984, and whose memory has long since transcended the "amiable dunce" he was portrayed as in elite media myth.

The financial crisis that began in 2008 has resulted in a widespread reaction against globalization and free markets, and an improbably fast comeback for big government. All the more reason to understand the real causes of the meltdown -- not in free trade and free markets, argues Johan Norberg, but in the very kind of government meddling in the economy that is now being pursued as the solution to the crisis. Now, in Financial Fiasco: How America's Infatuation with Home Ownership and Easy Money Created the Economic Crisis, Norberg tells the story of how rate-cutting by the Federal Reserve inflated the real estate market and fueled increased risk-taking in the financial markets; how new government policies to promote home ownership blasted air into the credit bubble; how new financial instruments, credit-rating requirements, and accounting rules intended to prevent cheating backfired; and much more.
