Kara Tippetts knows the ordinary days of mothering four kids, the joy of watching her children grow ... and the devestating reality of stage-four cancer. In The Hardest Peace, Kara doesn't offer answers for when living is hard, but she asks us to join her in moving away from fear and control and toward peace and grace. Most of all, she draws us back to the God who is with us, in the mundane and the suffering, and who shapes even our pain into beauty.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →A young man from rural Korea is conscripted to fight the Communists in Vietnam. He just wants to go home alive, but the idea of killing enemy soldiers to save himself triggers deep questions about life and faith. He sees soldiers around him die from accidents, from friendly fire, from drinking and from carelessness. It seems like death is around every corner, and yet he believes that God is with him. God saves him from falling out of a helicopter, from being shot at point blank range by the enemy and from multiple potentially fatal mishaps, but why? There must be a reason. There must be something he can do to repay God for protecting his life. Even amidst the suffering and cruelty, there must be a way to turn this war into a battle for love and peace.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →John Maynard Keynes, then a rising young economist, participated in the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 as chief representative of the British Treasury and advisor to Prime Minister David Lloyd George. He resigned after desperately trying and failing to reduce the huge demands for reparations being made on Germany. The Economic Consequences of the Peace is Keynes' brilliant and prophetic analysis of the effects that the peace treaty would have both on Germany and, even more fatefully, the world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Thoroughly sharp and honest treatment of a brutal conflict.The Algerian War (1954-1962) was a savage colonial war, killing an estimated one million Muslim Algerians and expelling the same number of European settlers from their homes. It was to cause the fall of six French prime minsters and the collapse of the Fourth Repbulic. It came close to bringing down de Gaulle and - twice - to plunging France into civil war.The story told here contains heroism and tragedy, and poses issues of enduring relevance beyond the confines of either geography or time. Horne writes with the extreme intelligence and perspicacity that are his trademarks.
