#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Barack Obama’s lucid vision of America’s place in the world and call for a new kind of politics that builds upon our shared understandings as Americans, based on his years in the Senate “In our lowdown, dispiriting era, Obama’s talent for proposing humane, sensible solutions with uplifting, elegant prose does fill one with hope.”—Michael Kazin, The Washington Post In July 2004, four years before his presidency, Barack Obama electrified the Democratic National Convention with an address that spoke to Americans across the political spectrum. One phrase in particular anchored itself in listeners’ minds, a reminder that for all the discord and struggle to be found in our history as a nation, we have always been guided by a dogged optimism in the future, or what Obama called “the audacity of hope.” The Audacity of Hope is Barack Obama’s call for a different brand of politics—a politics for those weary of bitter partisanship and alienated by the “endless clash of armies” we see in congress and on the campaign trail; a politics rooted in the faith, inclusiveness, and nobility of spirit at the heart of “our improbable experiment in democracy.” He explores those forces—from the fear of losing to the perpetual need to raise money to the power of the media—that can stifle even the best-intentioned politician. He also writes, with surprising intimacy and self-deprecating humor, about settling in as a senator, seeking to balance the demands of public service and family life, and his own deepening religious commitment. At the heart of this book is Barack Obama’s vision of how we can move beyond our divisions to tackle concrete problems. He examines the growing economic insecurity of American families, the racial and religious tensions within the body politic, and the transnational threats—from terrorism to pandemic—that gather beyond our shores. And he grapples with the role that faith plays in a democracy—where it is vital and where it must never intrude. Underlying his stories is a vigorous search for connection: the foundation for a radically hopeful political consensus. Only by returning to the principles that gave birth to our Constitution, Obama says, can Americans repair a political process that is broken, and restore to working order a government that has fallen dangerously out of touch with millions of ordinary Americans. Those Americans are out there, he writes—“waiting for Republicans and Democrats to catch up with them.”

What is Faith? First, What Faith is not is prehaps an important study to begin. First, faith is not religion. Many times people say "We have our faith". What do they really mean in saying this; they are saying, "We have our religious ideas and doctrines, our traditions, our ways of doing things that unlikely been passed down through the generations. Don't you try to change any of them." These thoughts, ideas have been established amoung us and not to be questioned whether they are proven true or not? Please, perhaps this is not really Biblical Faith! This is not what the Bible is teaching when it teaches the foundations, principles and ideas of faith, true faith in God. Faith is not mental assent. It is not agreeing with your mind, "Yes, this is true, because I believe it to be true faith in my mind and way of seeing things." Many professing Christians believe mentally that the Bible is the Word of God, but this faith does not change their way of life, believing and thinking God's thoughts of true bible believing faith. It is not a faith that can save and give them experienmental knowledge and power with God in Faith (James 2:14). Even demons have that kind of faith. They know and believe that God exists (James 2:19) and tremble. They have no loving (faith) confidence in God. "Satan believes and trembles before God's faith, but will not embrace the eternal God's way of a faith life in Him. " Faith is not hope, nor is faith a simple a set of positive thoughts and desire. The scriptures teaches hope, hope is good, and relates to the future. The bible teaches Faith and its promises as done NOW (in the NOW). Many people have hope and are anxiously looking for results, but they lack the settled confidence and present assurance which only faith has and can give one. Faith is not a way to manipulate God. It is not a power by which we make God do what WE want when otherwise He would be unwilling to do that thing. It is not a kind of magic through which we make God into our servant and our selfish wishes and desires! What Faith Is Faith, in its general sense of the word, is confidence or belief something or someone. It is a complete trust; fully confident that you base your actions on what you believe. To have faith is to be fully convinced of the truthfulness and reliability of that in which you believe. Faith in God, is having the kind of trust and confidence in God in Christ that leads you to commit your whole soul, life to Him as Saviour (Justifier, Cleanser, Healer, Deliverer) and Lord (Master, King). The faith that established a relationship that causes one to act upon the WORD of GOD WITHOUT any reservation. In this text we will discuss and see 'Revelation Faith.' The faith as revealed in Hebrews 11:1 that says, "Now Faith is the substance of things hope for (being sure of what we hope for), the evidence of things not seen (certain of what we do not see)" (Hebrews 11:1 KJV). Revelation Faith is a spiritual substance. When you have this faith (spiritual substance) in you, it communicates to you a certain inner knowing that the thing you are hoping for is certainly established as God says, even before you see any material evidence that it has happened. Faith, in spiritually is a spiritual force. Faith in God is a response to God's Word which causes God to move and act. Jesus said in Mark 11:23, "For assuredly I say to you, whoever SAYS to this mountain, 'Be removed and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but BELIEVES that those things he SAYS will be done, he will HAVE whatever he SAYS." Words mixed with Real, true and pure faith can and will move mountains; that means any problem or situation that appears before us as a mountain. "We will not only learn how to have faith in God in all things but how to use the faith of God in us"

"An essential starting point for those assessing the Obama presidency.” —Washington Monthly Two presidencies later, the time has never been better to revisit the legacy of Barack Obama. In Audacity, New York Magazine writer Jonathan Chait makes the unassailable case that, in the eyes of history, Obama will be viewed as one of America’s best and most accomplished presidents. Over the course of eight years, Barack Obama has amassed an array of outstanding achievements. His administration saved the American economy from collapse, expanded health insurance to millions who previously could not afford it, negotiated an historic nuclear deal with Iran, helped craft a groundbreaking international climate accord, reined in Wall Street and crafted a new vision of racial progress. He has done all of this despite a left that frequently disdained him as a sellout, and a hysterical right that did everything possible to destroy his agenda even when they agreed with what he was doing. Now, as the page turns to our next Commander in Chief, Jonathan Chait, acclaimed as one of the most incisive and meticulous political commentators in America, digs deep into Obama’s record on major policy fronts—economics, the environment, domestic reform, health care, race, foreign policy, and civil rights—to demonstrate why history will judge our forty-fourth president as among the greatest in history. Audacity does not shy away from Obama’s failures, most notably in foreign policy. Yet Chait convincingly shows that President Obama has accomplished what candidate Obama said he would, despite overwhelming opposition—and that the hopes of those who voted for him have not been dashed despite the smokescreen of extremist propaganda and the limits of short-term perspective.

In brief vignettes, historian Axelrod pinpoints and investigates the make-or-break event in the lives and careers of some of history's most significant figures. Axelrod reexamines history by answering the fascinating question of why the people who made history made their choices--and conveys the resonance of those choices today. The 46 profiles range from ancient times to the present day and include Cleopatra's decision to rescue Egypt; Washington's decision to cross the Delaware and win; Gandhi's decision to prevail against the British Empire without bloodshed; Truman's decision to drop the A-bomb and end WW II; Rosa Parks' decision to sit in for civil rights; Boris Yeltsin's decision to embrace a new world order; and Flight 93's decision to take a stand against terror.--From publisher description.
