With God We Prosper, Without Him We Fail is the result of a 10-year study of American spirituality that asks, "Does an abundance of or a lack of religion in a culture have an effect on how successful the culture's economy is?" This book is by no means religious, although it does use religion, along with every day current events, to build on its arguments.

I think society has watered down what a real man is, and because women have rightfully been obtaining more success, some tend to look down on men who are not as successful. There are also some men who feel less adequate in dealing with women that have a higher stature than they do. Nonetheless, it is my attempt in this book to not only educate women on what a real man is, but to also educate men on what a real man is, because in my opinion, many of them have lost their way.

Over the past four years, President Barack Obama has systematically undermined every pillar of America’s strength and vitality from the economy to health care to immigration to energy policy to personal liberty. With a bloated federal bureaucracy, staggering national debt, crippling unemployment, a crushing burden of regulation and red tape for private business and entrepreneurs, zealous pursuit of far-left pet projects, and attacks on every Constitutional freedom imaginable, Obama has brought America to the brink of disaster. Will we be able to avoid going over the edge? Well-known author and academic researcher John Lott sounds the alarm as he convincingly documents the challenges we face and builds an overwhelming case for fundamental change not the kind Obama promised, but the kind we need to save America from permanent damage. At the Brink is a powerful and alarming look at the challenges we face, and the monumental problems the next president is about to inherit.

The incredible story of a flood of near-Biblical proportions - its destruction, its heroes and victims, and how it shaped America’s natural-disaster policies for the next century. The storm began March 23, 1913, with a series of tornadoes that killed 150 people and injured 400. Then the freezing rains started and the flooding began. It was the nation’s most widespread flood ever - more than 700 people died, hundreds of thousands of homes and buildings were destroyed, and millions were left homeless.
