I am asking myself, how did I handle what God ultimately revealed to me? Did I become an enabler and allow my husband to continue? Was I a good steward of the truth that God allowed me to discover? Did I stand up for what was right? Did I protect what God had given to me? Did I crumble under what the devil meant for evil? What would you have done in such tests? We are all accountable to God, and no matter how painful it may be, we must remain faithful to Him. Remain faithful, even if it means uncovering your sin so that God can cover you and protect you and free you from it: so that you would be able to live and not die. In my book, I hope to express my deepest feelings, and my deepest hurts, and my deepest love for Jesus and His redemption. His hope for redemption, not only for the sinner but for the one sinned against. I hope that this book would affect people in a way that they would allow Jesus to cover their sin and be their salvation. My cry is no matter how wicked or hopeless you may feel, that you may see hope for your future. My hope is that there would no longer be desperation in your life, but redemption and the hope to live and not die. God showed me how to handle a dreadful situation that turned even more dreadful and tragic. In this is my triumph. I found that no matter what, I must hold on to the hope and the calling God had given me, and that I must be prepared to give a testimony for the strength that lies within me, 1 Peter 3:15.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW AND ECONOMIST BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR “A deeply reported, deeply personal history of Zionism and Israel that does something few books even attempt: It balances the strength and weakness, the idealism and the brutality, the hope and the horror, that has always been at Zionism’s heart.”—Ezra Klein, The New York Times Winner of the Natan Book Award, the National Jewish Book Award, and the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award Ari Shavit’s riveting work, now updated with new material, draws on historical documents, interviews, and private diaries and letters, as well as his own family’s story, to create a narrative larger than the sum of its parts: both personal and of profound historical dimension. As he examines the complexities and contradictions of the Israeli condition, Shavit asks difficult but important questions: Why did Israel come to be? How did it come to be? Can it survive? Culminating with an analysis of the issues and threats that Israel is facing, My Promised Land uses the defining events of the past to shed new light on the present. Shavit’s analysis of Israeli history provides a landmark portrait of a small, vibrant country living on the edge, whose identity and presence play a crucial role in today’s global political landscape.

Among Stephen Jay Gould's many gifts was his ability to write eloquently about baseball, his great passion. Through the years, the renowned palaeontologist published numerous essays on the sport which have now for the first time been collected in a volume alive with all the candour and insight that characterized Gould's writing. Here are his thoughts on the complexities of childhood streetball and the joys of opening day; tributes to Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth, and lesser-knowns such as deaf-mute centerfielder 'Dummy' Hoy; and a frank admission of the contradictions inherent in being a lifelong Yankees fan with Red Sox season tickets. So, too, does Gould deftly apply the tools of evolutionary theory to the demise of the 0.400 hitter, the Abner Doubleday creation myth, and the improbability of Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak. This book is a delight - an essential addition to Gould's remarkable legacy, and a fitting tribute to his love for the game.
