Book Description
No woman alive today has inspired so many with her simplicity of faith and compassion so all-encompassing. As she daily embraces the "least of the least" in her arms, Mother Theresa challenges the whole world to greater acts of service and understanding in the name of love. First published in 1971, this classic work introduced Mother Theresa to the Western World. As timely now as it was then, Something Beautiful for God interprets her life through the eyes of a modern-day skeptic who became literally transformed within her presence, describing her as "a light which could never be extinguised."

A crime scene. A cover-up. A young woman is dead, and solid evidence points to a soldier at a nearby military base. But that soldier has powerful friends in Washington. Reacher is ordered undercover to find out everything he can and then to vanish. But when he gets to Carter Crossing, Reacher meets local sheriff Elizabeth Deveraux, who has a thirst for justice and an appetite for secrets. Uncertain they can trust each other, they reluctantly join forces. Finding unexpected layers to the case, Reacher works to uncover the truth, while others try to bury it forever. The conspiracy threatens to shatter his faith in his mission—and turn him into a man to be feared.

When Graham Green and Catherine Walston began their illicit romance in January 1947, he was the acclaimed author of Brighton Rock with a troubled marriage, and she was the sexually libertine thirty-year-old wife of a millionaire future Labour life peer. What followed would inspire Greene's 1951 novel The End of the Affair. Revisiting the scenes of their adulterous passion, and drawing on love letters, diaries, personal interviews and correspondence, The Third Woman is the enthralling true story of one of the twentieth century's most epic romances.
