In the midst of the crises of the Second World War, Roosevelt and Stalin secretly exchanged three hundred letters, published together now for the first timeMy Dear Mr. Stalin is the first publication that contains the complete correspondence between Franklin D. Roosevelt and Joseph V. Stalin. This collection of more than three hundred hot-war messages, never before fully available in any language, is an invaluable primary source for understanding the relationship that developed between these two great world leaders during a time of supreme world crisis. The correspondence, secret at the time, begins with a letter Roosevelt wrote to Stalin offering aid to the Soviet Union following Hitler’s surprise attack in 1941. It ends with a message that was an attempt to minimize the differences between the two leaders, approved by Roosevelt only minutes before his death in 1945. The book traces the evolution of their unique relationship, revealing the statesmanship of the two men and their thinking about the grave events of their time. An informative introduction to the volume and generous annotations set the letters in context.

Amelia Earhart (1897-1937) captured the hearts of America after becoming the first woman to fly across the Atlantic in 1928. Nine years later, her disappearance on an around-the-world flight brought her extraordinary life to an abrupt and mysterious end.Based on a decade of archival research through Earhart's letters, journals, and diaries, and drawing on interviews with the aviator's friends and relatives, East to the Dawn provides the most authoritative and richly textured account of both Earhart's record-setting aviation career and her personal life: her early years with her grandparents, her experiences as a nurse and social worker, her famous marriage to publisher George Putnam, and her secret affair with Gene Vidal, head of the Bureau of Air Commerce. As the Los Angeles Times raved, East to the Dawn is a "fully realized portrait of a truly remarkable woman."

Many Christians desire a deeper walk with God, but feel they are too busy to add one more thing to their schedules. Because time is valuable and reading God’s Word consistently takes strong discipline, First Fruits offers a condensed explanation of specific Scripture passages for all 365 days of the year. The Scripture and the Scripture reference is printed on each page. It’s easy to open up to a single one to share a moment with God,and perhaps, change the course of your day.First Fruits is written in the first person of God, allowing you to understand Scripture as if inconversation with Him. God wants nothing more than to have a personal, intimate relationship with each soul He created. This relationship is achieved through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, and then believing in and depending upon the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.In First Fruits, delve into not only the grace of God, but everyday issues thought by some to be too mundane for God. You will learn what God’s desires are for your speech, attitude, faith, obedience, discipline, stewardship, acts of love, and trust in Him. You will understand the security you have as a Believer, the power and sovereignty of God, the End Times, what to expect in Heaven, and so much more!
