Book excerpt: National Book Award Finalist From one of our most accomplished and widely admired historians, a revelatory portrait of Benjamin Franklin’s youngest sister and a history of history itself. Like her brother, Jane Franklin was a passionate reader, a gifted writer, and an astonishingly shrewd political commentator. Unlike him, she was a mother of twelve. Benjamin Franklin, who wrote more letters to his sister than he wrote to anyone else, was the original American self-made man; his sister spent her life caring for her children. They left very different traces behind. Making use of an amazing cache of little-studied material, including documents, objects, and portraits only just discovered, Jill Lepore brings Jane Franklin to life in a way that illuminates not only this one woman but an entire world—a world usually lost to history. Lepore’s life of Jane Franklin, with its strikingly original vantage on her remarkable brother, is at once a wholly different account of the founding of the United States and one of the great untold stories of American history and letters: a life unknown.

There are Legends, but they are just that. Perhaps, before the end of our time, we can find answer. By chance, possibly the pieces of the puzzle will come together.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is power in encouragement. Studies have shown that words have a significant impact on the human brain. And the messages that we replay in our minds can either lift us up or drag us down. The same is true in our spiritual life. There are days when we feel like giving up. Days when nothing seems to go right. Days when we are unsure of what the future may bring. Days when we wonder if God knows our address, much less if He even remembers our name. It is at those times that we can use an encouraging word. Just one powerful thought, one powerful promise, one powerful assurance that can be the lift we need to help us carry on. Gathered here are more than 3 months of daily encouraging words drawn from the classic book on the life of Christ, entitled, The Desire of Ages, by Ellen G. White. In a unique and inspiring way, the short quote on each page will give you a thought to cherish all day. And as you ponder and turn over in your mind an encouraging word, the power of heaven will lead you to dwell on these promises and cultivate courage and positivity. We all need encouragement. And those around us with their perplexities and disappointments could use some as well. So, let these words lift you up and at the same time enable you to spread a little encouragement in your corner of the world.
