Open

Nobody writes about golf better than John Feinstein, and now he’s found the perfect subject to cover. In June 2002, the world watched a U.S. Open like no other. The most prestigious golf championship was played, for the first time in history, on a public golf course. With unprecedented access, Feinstein takes us through every step of the event, from how the players qualified to how pairings were made, from preparing the course to the heated negotiations between the USGA and NBC. Listeners will meet golf’s biggest stars and get to know them with eye-opening intimacy - and ultimately come to understand why playing in the Open at Bethpage meant so much to so many.

Ronnie And Nancy

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008 by Book Guy | No Comments »

He was the son of an alcoholic shoe salesman. She was the adopted daughter of a wealthy doctor. Both Ronald Reagan and Nancy Davis learned the value of cultivating the right friendships when they were young. Ronnie found his first marriage and political ambitions at irreconcilable odds, but when he met Nancy, one of the most remarkable career-building and romantic partnerships of all time was born.

Now comes the definitive portrait of America’s First Couple, in an audiobook that is at once a political saga, a social history, and an unforgettable love story.

No one is better equipped to chronicle the Reagans’ remarkable journey than noted journalist and longtime Vanity Fair writer Bob Colacello. With unprecedented access to Nancy Reagan, her personal papers, and the couple’s closest friends - including many who have spoken on the record for the first time - he sheds light on the Reagans’ early years and the development of the future president’s political ideas. Delving into their Hollywood careers, including Ronald Reagan’s marriage to actress Jane Wyman, he reveals how the Reagans perfected their social skills into an art form, rising through fashionable Los Angeles society to the governor’s mansion in Sacramento in 1967 and to the front door of the White House in 1980. Behind them, helping them climb from one peak to the next, was the Group, a clique of wealthy men and glamorous wives that would wield tremendous power throughout Ronald Reagan’s political life.

Moving, uncompromisingly honest, and rich with details previously hidden from public view, Ronnie and Nancy reveals the dynamics of an extraordinary marriage and reflects upon its amazing impact not only on American society but also on the cause of freedom around the world.

In Pursuit Of Peace

In Pursuit Of Peace

In today’s world, peace is hard to come by. It seems everywhere we look we see turmoil and disorder and all the things that combine to make our existence a very stressful one. To make matters worse, we often blindly follow our own paths, trying to create a perfect environment for ourselves. But we end up failing miserably.

How then can we find the calm and quiet we need to be truly content? By seeking for and immersing ourselves in God. In her latest book, bestselling author Joyce Meyer discusses twenty-one ways in which we can rediscover “the peace that passes all understanding.” Through a diligent analysis of Scripture, as well as words of wisdom and candid insights from her experiences, she inspires us to begin our own pursuit for lasting serenity. Journey with her and learn how to:

Be at peace with God-letting go of your worries will help you become supernaturally relaxed. · Be at peace with yourself-understanding how to strive for calm will help you overcome those mental and spiritual storms. · Be at peace with others-maintaining a mind-set of quietude in your relationships will ultimately enhance your search, both with God and within yourself. · Be led by peace-discovering how a peace-filled attitude affects every aspect of your life will make you more able to embrace it.

…and much more.

God tells us over and over in the Bible that we must seek peace in everything we do. Here, with these twenty-one steps, Joyce Meyer shows us how to actively pursue and live in it, as God intended. The choice is ours to make, she says. Are you ready?

Exact Revenge

Exact Revenge

For twenty years, Raymond White has waited. Living in a maximum security prison in upstate New York and convicted of a murder he didn’t commit, his only thoughts are finding the men who put him there.

In 1985, White was living out the decade’s excesses. Money. Power. A beautiful woman. White, a self-made man with humble roots, was only a step away from political office and marriage to the woman he loved.

But when a dying congressman asked White to hand-deliver a simple letter, a group of jealous rivals led him into an ingenious frame-up for murder.

Only decades later, when White befriends a wizened art thief named Lester Cole, does the future offer more than his grim cell. The aged Cole holds the key to unlocking the closed doors of the past.

Together, they plot an ingenious escape. Outside the prison gates, unimaginable wealth from a hidden cache awaits. That and a new name would give White the power to make every one of his enemies pay, and pay dearly.
