Intangible Treasures: The Rich and Storied Legacies Our Parents Left Behind

Intangible Treasures: The Rich and Storied Legacies Our Parents Left Behind

$16.95
More Info
Their stories were so formative, so influential, and so big. As a little girl, I had no context for chronology or history, but they stuck anyway, lodging deep into my core and forming an identity so unique from the neighborhood friends we were blessed to grow up with. I always felt different. It wasn't the color of my skin or a language barrier, just an understanding that my family was from a very different place, we ate very different food, and my relatives were very far away. As we grew up, my siblings and I would frequently remark to our parents that someone needed to put all those stories in writing. But as life has a way of drowning out the best intentions, no one did...until now. So for the sake of our children and grandchildren, to preserve Anyu and Apu's stories for generations to come, here is their narrative, with the added dimension of a bit of Hungary's extraordinary history beginning in the 1600s. May the stories of Aladár and Xénia Wieland deliver the intangible wealth of identity, inspiration and strength to you, my dear reader.
Integrity (USED)

Integrity (USED)

$5.99
More Info
"Integrity" -- all of us are in favor of it, but nobody seems to know how to make sure that we get it. From presidential candidates to crusading journalists to the lords of collegiate sports, everybody promises to deliver integrity, yet all too often the promises go unfulfilled.

In this thoughtful book, Stephen Carter, whose 1993 book "The Culture of Disbelief" changed the way we talk about the role of religion in American life, turns his critical eye to the mystery of why the virtue of integrity holds such sway over the American political imagination. Why do we care more about winning than about playing by the rules? What are our rules about following the rules? What are our rules about breaking them? He explains why integrity is first in importance among the elements of good character, as well as why it is so hard to attain. By weaving together insights from philosophy, theology, history, and law, along with examples drawn from current events and a dose of personal experience, Carter offers a vision of integrity that has implications for everything from marriage and politics to professional football. He discusses the difficulties involved in trying to legislate integrity as well as the possibilities for teaching it.

Like Carter's earlier books, "Integrity" is at once provocative and witty, sober and inspiring. The first in a trilogy of books on the most important elements of the character of the good citizen, "Integrity" presents a frank examination of the national mood and concludes that unless we find ways to place integrity at the center of both our private and public lives, the American idea may crumble -- and the greatness of our democracy along with it.

    . . . with liberty and justice for some.

    The left has corrupted the U.S. legal system. Wielding the law as a weapon, arrogant judges and lawless prosecutors are intimidating, silencing, and even imprisoning Americans who stand in the way of their radical agenda. Their "enemies list" even includes parents who dare to speak up for their children at school board meetings.

    In this shocking new book, Senator Ted Cruz takes readers inside the justice system, showing how the wrong hands on the levers of power can strangle liberty, crush opposition, and wreck lives. The notion of a "Democratic" or "Republican" Department of Justice is outrageous. That institution should safeguard the Constitutional rights of all Americans. Justice Corrupted will equip patriots and lovers of liberty to hold their government accountable.

    Liar's Kingdom: How to Stop Trump's Deceit and Save America

    Liar's Kingdom: How to Stop Trump's Deceit and Save America

    $29.00
    More Info
    From MS NOW legal analyst and veteran federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann, an urgent summons to tackle the scourge of political lies in America--and prevent a figure like Donald Trump from ever rising again.

    "The 2020 election was a total FRAUD!" "I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally." "There is NO WAY Biden got 80,000,000 votes!!!" These and other lies by Donald Trump sparked a historic insurrection to topple our democracy and undermined the public's faith in elections. The Trump administration's deceit has enabled the use of law enforcement and the military against the people, the unlawful deportation of immigrants, and the disregard of international rules meant to promote a civilized and peaceful world. Other politicians, inspired by the success of the political lie, have flooded the public square with falsehoods of their own.

    As Andrew Weissmann reveals, our vulnerability to politicians' lies stems from a flaw in America's legal system--one that can be fixed. But it will take courage, creativity, and a willingness to look beyond our borders to other countries that have already confronted this crisis. A slim, elegant treatise, Liar's Kingdom is a playbook for stopping politicians like Trump from holding office in the future--and for saving our democracy. We are entitled to more from our government, and this book shows how we can get it.
