SELECTED AS A BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK Born and raised in America, Mildred Harnack was twenty-six and living in Germany when she witnessed the meteoric rise of the Nazi party. She began holding secret meetings in her apartment, forming a small band of political activists set on helping Jews escape, denouncing Hitler and calling for revolution. When the Second World War began, she became a spy, couriering top-secret intelligence to the Allies. In this astonishing work of non-fiction, Harnack’s great-great-niece Rebecca Donner draws on extensive archival research, fusing elements of biography, political thriller and scholarly detective story to tell a powerful, epic tale of an enigmatic woman nearly erased by history.

Raising Praise for All Our Days: New Lyrics for Familiar and Beloved American Tunes draws from the deep reservoir of classic and beloved tunes known to generations of Americans and pairs them with lyrics that proclaim the love of God and the joy that comes from living with that love. Carol Carlson, the lyricist, has tapped into the insights she has gained from homeschooling her children. Working with them has shown her how powerfully singing aids memory. That realization sparked her desire to help others learn about and live with the love of God. The presentation of each song in Raising Praise for All Our Days suggests the tune to which the new lyrics fit. So, for instance, O, Give Me a Heart pairs with the classic tune for Home on the Range. The verse lifts up a life that brings God glory: O, give me a heart, yes, a big happy heart / That cares for Your children each day. / Make me happy to be Your hands and Your feet / So glory to You can be raised. Raising Praise for All Our Days: New Lyrics for Familiar and Beloved American Tunes promises to breathe new life into old tunes while bringing those time-tested and beloved melodies to the joyous task of giving voice to praises that celebrate Gods love for His children.
Paris 1926: Les Annees folles as the French called it, "The Crazy Years." It was the Roaring Twenties. It was the dawn of the Age of Modernism, feminism, the flappers, the birth of cinema; it was the decade of the automobile and radio. It was the reckless years of wealth and exuberance, where stock markets toyed with ideas of fanaticism, and where legends lived, loved, and died. Paris France was at the heart of a new cultural revolution that was reshaping and changing the world. Thomas E. McCann came to Paris to change his life. His life ended up changing everyone around him. There were parties, class privileges, there were flowing rivers of champagne, there was extravagant wealth, and everyone lived and loved like no one thought the wild celebrations of this Golden decade would ever come to an end."
