My American Journey
by Colin L. Powell
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A great American success story . . . an endearing and well-written book.”—The New York Times Book Review Colin Powell is the embodiment of the American dream. He was born in Harlem to immigrant parents from Jamaica. He knew the rough life of the streets. He overcame a barely average start at school. Then he joined the Army. The rest is history—Vietnam, the Pentagon, Panama, Desert Storm—but a history that until now has been known only on the surface. Here, for the first time, Colin Powell himself tells us how it happened, in a memoir distinguished by a heartfelt love of country and family, warm good humor, and a soldier’s directness. My American Journey is the powerful story of a life well lived and well told. It is also a view from the mountaintop of the political landscape of America. At a time when Americans feel disenchanted with their leaders, General Powell’s passionate views on family, personal responsibility, and, in his own words, “the greatness of America and the opportunities it offers” inspire hope and present a blueprint for the future. An utterly absorbing account, it is history with a vision.

A New Dating Attitude
by Suzan D. Johnson Cook
Use the Beatitudes to change your own attitudes as you wait for the mate God is preparing for you The number of people who wish they were married is myriad. Dating clubs, newspaper columns, and books on how to find a mate are everywhere. But no one has addressed this deep desire like Johnson Cook. She approaches this aching need and difficult situation from both a spiritual and practical perspective, applying the Beatitudes to the number one preoccupation of most single, divorced, and widowed Christian women--how to find a husband. This book uses the Beatitudes as a platform for those who are ready for the good news of God's way to kiss the single life goodbye. Pastor Johnson Cook encourages readers to develop what she calls 'betrothal attitudes'--positive states of mind and qualities of character that will help the reader enjoy her single life while she is becoming the person she needs to be to receive the mate God has in store for her. These 'betrothal attitudes' are spiritual teachings and life lessons learned by the author and others in her life, lessons that show how healing and victory can come to those who are willing to wait on God, receive God's teaching, and develop new attitudes toward themselves and their relationships.
