The "Official 2009 White House Christmas Ornament" illustrates the special place of the Christmas tree in the holiday celebrations of President Grover Cleveland’s young family. The central hologram depicts the south facade of the White House after an evening snowfall. The warm glow of the first Christmas tree to be illuminated by electric lights is seen through the tall windows of the second floor Oval Room beyond the center of the columned portico. read more

When most of us hear the name "Saint Nicholas," we immediately think of Santa Claus. But if asked why Santa sometimes goes by this alias, we might be at a loss for a satisfactory answer. Too bad: the real St. Nicholas, a fourth-century bishop who may have attended the famous Council of Nicaea in 325, was a fascinating if elusive figure whose name has been invoked, and selfless deeds recounted, for hundreds of years. Now, in The True St. Nicholas, the bestselling author, radio talk-show host and former Secretary of Education William Bennett brings Saint Nicholas's story to life, and shows why it is still relevant today.

"Washington is broken," said Barack Obama while on the campaign trail, and he's busy making it worse. While an adoring media heaps on adulation, Obama has (at an "historic" and "unprecedented" record pace, according to his media sycophants) presided over the appointment of an appalling rogue's gallery of crooks, cronies and tax cheats to the highest levels of our government -- while reneging on promises to make government more transparent and accountable to ordinary Americans. Now at last, in Culture of Corruption: Obama and His Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks & Cronies, bestselling author Michelle Malkin tears to shreds the mythical Obama constructed by the liberal media, and tells the full story about how this sinister new administration started out corrupt and is only getting more corrupt.

Is death the end? That's the ultimate question that has preoccupied mankind from the beginning of time to the present. And in truth, there is no more important question in life -- it is the one issue that makes every other issue trivial, for death is the great wrecking ball that destroys everything. But does anything lie beyond that great disruption, that terrible dissolution? Bestselling author Dinesh D'Souza answers that question with a resounding "yes." In his new blockbuster, Life After Death: The Evidence, he offers solid proof that death is not the end -- and shows why the rational side of this debate is the side that believes in the afterlife, while those clinging to blind faith are the ones who say that the end of this life is the extinguishing of all human existence.

Contemporary art is so divorced from – indeed hostile to -- Christianity, that one must occasionally be reminded how important Christian subjects were to the art of past centuries. Indeed, Christianity seems to have inspired the artistic imagination like nothing else -- it's surely no accident that all of the so-called Great Masters flourished when Europe was still overwhelmingly Christian. Now, The Lion Companion to Christian Art surveys the whole magnificent legacy of Christian art, showing how art has both reflected and stimulated Christian thought and experience throughout the ages. Sumptuously illustrated with more than 200 full-color images of paintings, sculptures, illuminated manuscripts, and other works, this is a comprehensive look at how the world's finest artists have sought to convey the stories, beliefs, and mysteries of the Christian faith.

The renowned television and radio host Glenn Beck has made a momentous discovery.

It's simple: all you have to do is know the facts.

Ever since Ronald Reagan left office in 1989, liberal historians have been doing their best to sully his reputation and smear him as a "failed" President -- but now, in The Age of Reagan: The Conservative Counterrevolution 1980-1989, historian Steven F. Hayward sets the record straight. Hayward examines Reagan's well-known foreign policy and decisive role in the ending of the Cold War –- easily the most dramatic element of Reagan's tumultuous and triumphant presidency -- but also sheds much-needed light on Reagan's domestic policy, showing why these two aspects of Reagan's presidency should rightly be viewed as a unity.

For most Americans today, Christmas has become synonymous with shopping, spending, and stress. But according to former governor (and former pastor) Mike Huckabee, we can still recapture the true spirit of Christmas. "The first Christmas was a simple one," writes Huckabee. "So simple that it had all the makings of a first-class disaster. It's a miracle it turned out well at all. In fact, that's the whole point. It really was, and remains, a miracle -- the greatest miracle of all time. And it really was simple." Now, in A Simple Christmas, Huckabee recounts twelve Christmas memories from his own life that illustrate the true meaning of the original Nativity, and that teach us that, indeed, sometimes the simplest things are the most precious.

Isn't it just like liberals to diminish genuine racial and cultural diversity in the name of respecting it? That's what they've done with Huckleberry Finn, perhaps the greatest anti-slavery novel ever written, now tarred as "racist." And that's what they did with the tales of "Uncle Remus" -- a collection of African American folktales, many with roots in Africa itself, adapted and compiled by Joel Chandler Harris in the 1880s. Beloved by generations of Americans, black and white, these funny but pointedly moral stories about Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, Brer B'ar and Brer Wolf were akin to - and on a par with -- Aesop's fables. read more

Let's face it: conservatism is in crisis. The liberal media is gleefully pronouncing it dead, and President Obama and his Far-Left henchmen are doing all they can to make sure it is marginalized and silenced. But radio talk show host Mark Levin is not ready to admit defeat! In Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto, he outlines a sweeping new conservative approach toward key issues including immigration, education, health care, the welfare state, the free market, and environmentalism. Above all, he issues a ringing call for a return to the true principles of Federalism and the Constitution as the Framers intended it to be -- a true conservative manifesto!

There has probably never been an era in history when intellectuals have played a larger role in society – and yet few Americans know these immensely influential people who are doing so much to steer our nation off course. But now, the latest thought-provoking book from the renowned conservative thinker Thomas Sowell, offers you a unique introduction to the world of intellectuals. Intellectuals and Society introduces you to the thinkers of our society, many of them unknown to the general public, who mold our society and make an impact on people in every walk of life, both for the better and for the worse -- but usually for the worse. Sowell's vision, as expansive as ever, ranges over economics, politics, the media, academia, the law, and even war as he shows the momentous ways in which this small group of people wields a baneful influence upon our nation and Western civilization as a whole.

In 1776, Tom Paine published Common Sense -- the case for revolution made with logical, straightforward, indisputable arguments. "Today," says TV and radio sensation Glenn Beck, "we find ourselves back in 1776 -- but this time our path forward isn't so clear-cut." That's why he wrote Glenn Beck's Common Sense: The Evolution of Thomas Paine's Revolution -- an incisive indictment of the abuses being perpetrated by our government, and a clear path back to sane democratic rule.
