Pearl Harbor: A Novel of December 8th
Fresh from their series on the American Civil War, bestselling authors Newt Gingrich and William R. Forstchen now launch a new epic adventure by applying their imaginations and knowledge to the “Date of Infamy”---the attack on Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor covers the full spectrum of character and events of that historic moment, from national leaders and admirals to the views of ordinary citizens caught in the chaos of war. From the chambers of the Emperor of Japan to the American White House, from the decks of aircraft carriers to the playing fields of the Japanese Naval Academy, this powerful story stretches from the nightmare slaughter of China in the 1930s to the lonely office of Commander James Watson, an American cryptographer, who suspects the impending catastrophic attack. It is a story of intrigue, double-dealing, the horrific brutality of war, and the desperate efforts by men of reason on both sides to prevent a titanic struggle that becomes inevitable. A compelling, meticulously researched saga, Pearl Harbor is also a novel of valor about those who took party in this cataclysmic moment in world history. It inaugurates a dramatic new Pacific War series that begins with the terrifying account of the day that started it all. .

In My Heart I Carry a Star: Stories for Advent
Have you ever found yourself reclining in your favorite armchair, a cup of coffee poised on your lap, staring at the Christmas tree in the corner and kind of wondering .. It's a tree; what is it doing in the living room?... It is that meeting place of the sacred and the secular that makes the Christmas tree such a durable and endearing feature of our holiday homes. It is a place where even the least religious feel compelled to stick an angel on the apex, include a Nativity underneath, or simply place a star near the top. Thus we give voice to the yearnings of all hungry hearts to undertake such a journey, as wise people still do today, following the star, making our way to public worship, singing carols, or at least pausing in some fashion to acknowledge the newborn King. -- Derek Maul This funny, articulate, and illustrative book provides a way to embrace the gift of Advent, reminding us of the core message. We wait for the Messiah. From sweet tales of childhood to more difficult and heart-wrenching realities, Derek Maul offers us the realistic hope of the season..

Joining Wellesley's army as it prepares to lay siege to this fortress high above the Deccan Plain, Sharpe will risk his honor, reputation, and fortune on a battle that will test him as never before. .

The Truth: What You Must Know Before December 21, 2012
WHY THE TRUTH IS THE ANTIDOTE TO THESE TUMULTUOUS TIMES: People who are aware of and have been paying attention to the many 2012 prophecies, including those contained in the Mayan calendar, the I CHING, the the Web Bot computer program, as well as those of the Hopi Indians, Nostradamus and others, are not surprised about the global financial melt down, the devastating hurricanes, wars, global warming and the seemingly unending series of disasters. They have been expecting these sorts of things to occur during the run up to December 21, 2012. The book, THE TRUTH, was created and written as a tool to enlighten anyone willing to take time to read it so that as many as possible can and will participate in the shift to higher consciousness that has long been anticipated to arrive by the end of 2012. But the THE TRUTH has practical value beyond its primary role as a vehicle of spiritual enlightenment. It is also a handbook for coping with, dealing with, and eventually triumphing over the turmoil we have already begun to experience and that we can expect to continue in the years and months leading up to December, 2012. Why is this so? THE TRUTH explains that we each create our own personal reality with our thoughts, including our mental programming from birth, and our fears. Our fears, unfortunately, are self-fulfilling. The book tells why this is so and it explains how we can reprogram our minds to rid ourselves of our fears, and destructive programming, and replace a mindset that may be bringing us trouble and sorrow with one that will result in the best life possible, given the circumstances we must deal with and face. Pages 50 - 53 lay out the steps for dealing with and turning around a personal crises, whether it be financial or otherwise. Pages 187 - 202 explain how to access higher guidance, or intuition, when making decisions, thereby enabling a person to see around corners and make the best choice in any given situation. Chapter Nine draws on a number of research studies (including one by Columbia University Medical School) to explain the how and why of prayer and those prayer techniques that produce the best results. Studies show that with the right techniques and understanding of universal laws, prayer works. One would be a fool not to use it. THE TRUTH puts our lives into perspective and in doing so makes it less painful to cope with difficulty and hardship. Using scientific research and other credible data, it explains that we (our life and our consciousness, though not our current physical bodies) are eternal. It brings the reader to an understanding that no matter how bad things are or may get, in the end we will triumph as long as we stay positive and persevere. THE TRUTH is truly the antidote to the widespread difficulties and turmoil that now exist, which are likely to worsen in the days, months and years just ahead..

December
Simon and his mom don't have much--the cardboard house they built for themselves, a tiny Christmas tree, and a picture of an angel pinned to one wall. On Christmas Eve they take in a frail stranger who needs a place to keep warm, and the next morning Simon wakes early to find that the woman has vanished. Instead, he sees December, the angel from the picture, with her wings fanned out over their cardboard house. Could she be real?
