The true story of four young Hungarians in search of inner meaning at a time of outer upheaval - the holocaust - who encountered luminous forces that helped them find new direction and hope in their shattered lives. These forces, which came to be known as angels, accompanied them for seventeen perilous months, until three of them met their deaths in Nazi concentration camps. Only Gitta Mallasz survived to bring their story and these remarkable dialogues to the world. Gitta Mallasz always rejected any notion of 'authorship' for this book, saying, I am merely the 'scribe' of the angels.

After planting her feet beside Jesus, Janet focused on this scripture: “In most solemn truth I tell you that he who trusts in me—the things which I do he shall do also; and greater things than these he shall do because I am going to the Father” (John 4:12 and Mark 16:15–20), that many signs would follow the believers of Jesus. Janet told the Lord she was available if He could use her. Upon the pages of this book, Janet writes about miraculous life-changing experiences led by the Holy Spirit. These are comparable to Biblically recorded events, such as healings, deliverance, salvation, and being raised from the dead. She discovered the promises made by God in His Word still come to pass in our own day. What’s recorded in the New Testament can be experienced by believers purposed to live for Him while yielding to His Holy Spirit. Like old friends who have grown up together, her relationship with Jesus continues to deepen. She became convinced Jesus is Who He says He is. Jesus will take you, draw you, lift you, make you, and provide you with everything needed to live, move, and have your being. This book is not an autobiography. It is about meeting, knowing, and being led by the Holy Spirit. In these chapters, Janet has presented the teachings He unfolded, along with the discovery that truly “Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). It’s Janet’s hope that if you don’t already know Jesus personally, this book will make that introduction.

In this "raucous, moving, and necessary" story by a Pulitzer Prize finalist (San Francisco Chronicle), the De La Cruzes, a family on the Mexican-American border, celebrate two of their most beloved relatives during a joyous and bittersweet weekend. "All we do, mija, is love. Love is the answer. Nothing stops it. Not borders. Not death." In his final days, beloved and ailing patriarch Miguel Angel de La Cruz, affectionately called Big Angel, has summoned his entire clan for one last legendary birthday party. But as the party approaches, his mother, nearly one hundred, dies, transforming the weekend into a farewell doubleheader. Among the guests is Big Angel's half brother, known as Little Angel, who must reckon with the truth that although he shares a father with his siblings, he has not, as a half gringo, shared a life. Across two bittersweet days in their San Diego neighborhood, the revelers mingle among the palm trees and cacti, celebrating the lives of Big Angel and his mother, and recounting the many inspiring tales that have passed into family lore, the acts both ordinary and heroic that brought these citizens to a fraught and sublime country and allowed them to flourish in the land they have come to call home. Teeming with brilliance and humor, authentic at every turn, The House of Broken Angels is Luis Alberto Urrea at his best, and cements his reputation as a storyteller of the first rank. "Epic . . .

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW, LOS ANGELES TIMES, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, AND PUBLISHERS WEEKLY For more than four hundred years, the art of ballet has stood at the center of Western civilization. Its traditions serve as a record of our past. Lavishly illustrated and beautifully told, Apollo’s Angels—the first cultural history of ballet ever written—is a groundbreaking work. From ballet’s origins in the Renaissance and the codification of its basic steps and positions under France’s Louis XIV (himself an avid dancer), the art form wound its way through the courts of Europe, from Paris and Milan to Vienna and St. Petersburg. In the twentieth century, émigré dancers taught their art to a generation in the United States and in Western Europe, setting off a new and radical transformation of dance. Jennifer Homans, a historian, critic, and former professional ballerina, wields a knowledge of dance born of dedicated practice. Her admiration and love for the ballet, as Entertainment Weekly notes, brings “a dancer’s grace and sure-footed agility to the page.”
