Listen to an excerpt of André Aciman's OUT OF EGYPT, read by  Edoardo Ballerini.

An all new recording of Out of Egypt, André Aciman's acclaimed memoir, narrated by Edoardo Ballerini!

From the New York Times bestselling author of Call Me By Your Name, Out of Egypt is a richly colored memoir chronicling the exploits of a flamboyant Jewish family, from its bold arrival in cosmopolitan Alexandria to its defeated exodus three generations later.

In elegant and witty prose, André Aciman introduces us to the marvelous eccentrics who shaped his life - Uncle Vili, the strutting daredevil, soldier, salesman, and spy; the two grandmothers, the Princess and the Saint, who gossip in six languages; Aunt Flora, the German refugee who warns that Jews lose everything "at least twice in their lives."

And through it all, we come to know a boy who, even as he longs for a wider world, does not want to be led, forever, out of Egypt.

The third horseman: famine stalks Somalia

In recognition of the 10th anniversary of the attack in Benghazi, a noted Libya expert and eyewitness to the attack provides a startling reconsideration of one of the defining controversies of our era.

Ten years after an attack on the US diplomatic mission in Benghazi killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans, cries of "Benghazi!" still echo across America. But instead of a landmark event to be taken seriously, it has become a punchline, an empty word, or a code for controversy and political theatre. In this thrilling retelling, Ethan Chorin reveals Benghazi as a watershed moment in American history, one that helped create the world America lives in today: polarized, fearful, and dangerously unstable.
 
Here, Benghazi is not a story contained in 13 hours, but a decades-long history beginning with the rise of Muammar Gaddafi, stretching through 9/11, the War on Terror, and the Arab Spring, and reaching into the present day, as the impact of the attack and ensuing controversy remain visible in America and around the world. Chorin draws on his own bone-chilling experience during the Benghazi attack, his expertise as a former diplomat and scholar of Libyan history, and new interviews with Libyan insiders, eyewitnesses, and key players like Hillary Clinton and Ben Rhodes. With this ambitious, engaging narrative, Chorin makes clear why Benghazi still matters so much ten years later—and why we can’t afford to continue overlooking and misunderstanding it.

Benghazi! by Ethan Chorin Read by Jim Meskimen - Audiobook Excerpt

'Sweet and achingly romantic - a truly wonderful love story' Beth O'Leary, author of The Flatshare

From the USA Today bestselling author of The Friend Zone comes an adorable and fresh romantic comedy about one trouble-making dog who brings together two perfect strangers.

Two years after losing her fiancé, Sloan Monroe still can't seem to get her life back on track. But one trouble-making pup with a 'take me home' look in his eyes is about to change everything. With her new pet by her side, Sloan finally starts to feel more like herself. Then, after weeks of unanswered texts, Tucker's owner reaches out. He's a musician on tour in Australia. And bottom line: he wants Tucker back.

Well, Sloan's not about to give up her dog without a fight. But what if this Jason guy really loves Tucker? As their flirty texts turn into long calls, Sloan can't deny a connection. Jason is hot and nice and funny. There's no telling what could happen when they meet in person. The question is: with his music career on the rise, how long will Jason really stick around? And is it possible for Sloan to survive another heartbreak?

The Happy Ever After Playlist by Abby Jimenez, read by Zachary Webber & Erin Mallon (Extract)

Have you ever felt adrift and alone after losing a job, a dream, a loved one, or your sense of purpose in life? In The God Who Stays, Matthew West uses stories and Scripture to encourage you that wherever you are and whatever you’re going through, God is right by your side—and nothing can separate you from His love and grace. 

Through the dramatic events of 2020 and the ensuing uncertainty and anxiety ever since, people’s lives and illusions of security have been turned upside down. Whenever our plans, hopes, and dreams are put on hold—or worse, lost forever—we feel discouraged, lost, and isolated, and desperately praying, “God, where are You?”

Matthew West’s newest book, The God Who Stays, is an engaging and thoughtful exploration, balanced with his trademark wit and humor, that helps us reconnect to the biblical truth of Immanuel—"God with us"—a personal Savior who never leaves our side and who always answers when we cry out for help. 

The God Who Stays contains:

An exploration of the character of the God who faithfully travels with us through every season of our life
Encouragement in a time of isolation and anxiety that many have been experiencing
Personal stories, experiences, and discoveries from Matthew’s own faith journey
In his most personal book yet, join Matthew on a spiritual journey of rediscovery and revival inspired by the words of his hit song “The God Who Stays”. Renew your faith and find rest and healing through biblical truth.

Ask The Expert - Michael Oliver - October 2022

Connect with the primal, feminine power of the Moon. Learn what the heavens are telling you, how to read them, and how to act on this knowledge; plus find inspiration in profiles of many strong women.

There was a time when the feminine and her guiding light, the Moon, were all-powerful. Men were seen primarily as consorts to the Great Goddess, as embodied in every woman. In these peaceful, agrarian societies, primal feminine powers—intuition, emotion, sexuality, creation, communion with nature—were honored. And the moon, which waxed and waned in predictable cycles, was a symbol for the birth, growth, death, andrenewal of life on Earth.

Moon Power’s 12 chapters each represent a moon sign. The introduction describes what’s meant by Moon Power, provides some history about ancient moon worship, and explains why it went underground. The basics of moon phases and the meaning of new and full moons are explained. Simple rituals for connecting with the power of the moon are included. The book:

Offers guidance on working with each sign as the moon passes through it (for example, when the moon is in Aries, take assertive action, but watch impulsivity)
Includes in each chapter a profile of a powerful woman who typifies her lunar sign (Angelina Jolie, Aries Moon; Malala Yousafzai, Libra Moon)
Introduces a Goddess and Power Animal for each moon sign and activities and rituals for connecting with their energy during certain moon phases

Moon Power will inspire you to recognize and develop your lunar nature, showing you how—through reflection, ritual, and purposeful action—to understand your emotional nature and inner self more deeply.
