<b>In his earlier book, Eric Metaxas tackled the questions people had always wanted to ask about God. His book was well-received, but Metaxas soon realized there was a long list of questions that still needed to be addressed.</b><br /><br /> In <i>Everything <u>Else</u> You Always Wanted to Know about God…</i>, the author answers the rest–and some of the very best–of the questions that surface when God is the topic of conversation. Metaxas’ s welcoming tone and his skillful use of humor lower readers’ defenses. He presents biblical truth in the form of engaging answers that can’t help but connect, whether the reader is an inquisitive skeptic, an open-minded agnostic, or even a new believer looking to get grounded in the basics of the Christian faith. <br /><br /> No matter who is asking the questions, this sequel delivers the goods with disarming candor and biblical authority. <b><br /> </b>

Don’t bet on it! <i>White House Confidential</i> shows that commanders-in-chief have been lying, cheating, stealing, and womanizing from the days of the Founding Fathers.

Dip into these pages to find out:<br /><br /> Which president was famous for being the richest man alive because of all his brilliant real estate deals?<br /> Which president was born in Canada, and was ineligible to hold the office of president?<br /> Which president caused some problems by trying to grow strange herbs” in the White House garden?<br /> Which president often ordered White House staff to rub Vaseline into his scalp while he ate breakfast in bed?<br /> Which president often called his deputy chief of staff Turd Blossom”?<br /><br />Updated with new material about many presidents including George W. Bush and Barack Obama, <i>White House Confidential</i> will have you laughing (and sometimes cursing!) as you take a second look at the next occupant of the Oval Office.

<b>From the internationally bestselling author of <i>The Etymologicon</i>, a lively and fascinating exploration of how, throughout history, each civilization has found a way to celebrate, or to control, the eternal human drive to get sloshed</b><br /><br />Almost every culture on earth has drink, and where there's drink there's drunkenness. But in every age and in every place drunkenness is a little bit different. It can be religious, it can be sexual, it can be the duty of kings or the relief of peasants. It can be an offering to the ancestors, or a way of marking the end of a day's work. It can send you to sleep, or send you into battle.<br /><br /> Making stops all over the world, <i>A Short History of Drunkenness</i> traces humankind's love affair with booze from our primate ancestors through to the 20th century, answering every possible question along the way: What did people drink? How much? Who did the drinking? Of the many possible reasons, why? On the way, learn about the Neolithic Shamans, who drank to communicate with the spirit world (no pun intended), marvel at how Greeks got giddy and Sumerians got sauced, and find out how bars in the Wild West were never quite like in the movies.<br /><br /> This is a history of the world at its inebriated best.
