[George Packer's] account of America's decline into destructive tribalism is always illuminating and often dazzling. --William Galston, The Washington Post Acclaimed National Book Award-winning author George Packer diagnoses America's descent into a failed state, and envisions a path toward overcoming our injustices, paralyses, and divides In the year 2020, Americans suffered one rude blow after another to their health, livelihoods, and collective self-esteem. A ruthless pandemic, an inept and malign government response, polarizing protests, and an election marred by conspiracy theories left many citizens in despair about their country and its democratic experiment. With pitiless precision, the year exposed the nation's underlying conditions--discredited elites, weakened institutions, blatant inequalities--and how difficult they are to remedy. In Last Best Hope, George Packer traces the shocks back to their sources. He explores the four narratives that now dominate American life: Free America, which imagines a nation of separate individuals and serves the interests of corporations and the wealthy; Smart America, the world view of Silicon Valley and the professional elite; Real America, the white Christian nationalism of the heartland; and Just America, which sees citizens as members of identity groups that inflict or suffer oppression. In lively and biting prose, Packer shows that none of these narratives can sustain a democracy. To point a more hopeful way forward, he looks for a common American identity and finds it in the passion for equality--the "hidden code"--that Americans of diverse persuasions have held for centuries. Today, we are challenged again to fight for equality and renew what Alexis de Tocqueville called "the art" of self-government. In its strong voice and trenchant analysis, Last Best Hope is an essential contribution to the literature of national renewal.

Описание: From the award-winning author of The Unwinding--the brilliantly told saga of the ambition, idealism, and hubris of one of the most legendary and complicated figures in recent American history, set amid the rise and fall of U.S. power from Vietnam to Afghanistan Richard Holbrooke was brilliant, utterly self-absorbed, and possessed of almost inhuman energy and appetites. Admired and detested, he was the force behind the Dayton Accords that ended the Balkan wars, America's greatest diplomatic achievement in the post-Cold War era. His power lay in an utter belief in himself and his idea of a muscular, generous foreign policy. From his days as a young adviser in Vietnam to his last efforts to end the war in Afghanistan, Holbrooke embodied the postwar American impulse to take the lead on the global stage. But his sharp elbows and tireless self-promotion ensured that he never rose to the highest levels in government that he so desperately coveted. His story is thus the story of America during its era of supremacy: its strength, drive, and sense of possibility, as well as its penchant for overreach and heedless self-confidence. In Our Man, drawn from Holbrooke's diaries and papers, we are given a nonfiction narrative that is both intimate and epic in its revelatory portrait of this extraordinary and deeply flawed man and the elite spheres of society and government he inhabited.
Описание: Comforting savory and sweet breads, buns, pastries, cakes, cookies and many other baked delights inspired by the flavors of the Middle East, from the husband-and-wife duo who have taken the London culinary world by storm. At Honey & Co., there is always something sweet in the oven, all day long . . . "Our day is marked by what comes out of the pastry section, and there's always something good on the way: sticky buns full of cherries and pistachios in the morning; a loaf of rich dough rolled with chocolate, hazelnuts and cinnamon that has been proving since dawn and comes out of the oven fresh for elevenses. Lunch is a crisp, crumbly shell of pastry filled with spiced lamb or burnt eggplant, and at teatime there are cheesecakes and fruit cakes, small cakes and massive cookies - so many cakes that it's hard to choose one. (There's no need to worry, whatever you choose will be great ) After dinner there might be poached peaches with roses, or something more traditional, sweet and salty--"Knafe" drenched in orange blossom syrup, or maybe just a small piece of fresh marzipan." These recipes for family-favorite pastries and reinvented savory dishes (from shakshuka to moussaka) pair with the inside stories of running London's most exciting restaurant: a perfect follow-up to 2015's celebrated "Honey & Co.: The Cookbook."

YOU were created to live from two realms simultaneously - the seen and the unseen, the eternal and the temporal. To do so you must know how to access those realms and understand what is happening in them. In Visions, Visitations and the Voice of God, Lyn Packer demystifies the often-perplexing subject of revelation and experience with God. Drawing from both scripture and personal experience Lyn opens up the realm of supernatural revelation and makes it relevant to your daily life. Step out of a ho-hum Christian walk into one of vibrant daily experience with the Lord. He longs to reveal himself to you and each of the activations in this book will take you into personal experience with Him.

The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and our children forever, that we might do all the words of His law. Deut 29:29
In her book Daughters of Eve, Lyn Packer delves deep into Scripture to discover God's heart and intent for women. She also explores history, both in society and in the church, to expose how far we have wandered from that original plan and presents us with a clear pathway back. In doing so she establishes herself as an inspirational and prophetic voice that calls us back to God's original plan for mankind - both women and men. That plan is glorious, and God is calling us today to rediscover and walk in the fullness of it.
Lyn also shares her personal journey from a childhood of abuse, to being suppressed within the church, (the story of many women worldwide), and eventually to freedom. Her story is inspirational and compelling reading, and it offers people everywhere the knowledge that in Christ they truly can experience life in all its fullness.
In this book you'll discover:
- God's original glorious plan for man and woman and how we strayed from that
- Historical and current global and church perspectives
- How Jesus and Paul viewed and treated women
- A detailed study of Paul's controversial Scripture passages
- Understanding of what is at stake if we don't address this issue
- Insight into how to move forward from where we are today
