Many Americans recall Frank's lacerating wit, whether it was directed at the Clinton impeachment (\"What did the president touch, and when did he touch it?\") or the pro-life movement (some people believe \"life begins at conception and ends at birth\"). But the contours of his private and public lives are less well-known. For more than four decades, he was at the center of the struggle for personal freedom and economic fairness. From the battle over AIDS funding in the 1980s to the debates over \"big government\" during the Clinton years to the 2008 financial crisis, the congressman from Massachusetts played a key role. In 2010, he coauthored the most far-reaching and controversial Wall Street reform bill since the era of the Great Depression, and helped bring about the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this feisty and often moving memoir, Frank candidly discusses the satisfactions, fears, and grudges that come with elected office.

He discusses his painful quarrels with allies; his friendships with public figures, from Tip O'Neill to Sonny Bono; and how he found love with his husband, Jim Ready, becoming the first sitting member of Congress to enter a same-sex marriage. He also demonstrates how he used his rhetorical skills to expose his opponents' hypocrisies and delusions.

From the transformation on the road to Damascus of the Jew Saul into the Christian evangelist Paul to a twenty-first-century “religious marketplace” in which half of Americans have changed faiths at least once, nothing has been more important in the struggle for reason than the right to believe in the God of ones choice or to reject belief in God altogether.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFocusing on the long, tense convergence of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—each claiming possession of absolute truth—Jacoby examines conversions within a social and economic framework that includes theocratic coercion (unto torture and death) and the more friendly persuasion of political advantage, economic opportunism, and interreligious marriage. Moving through time, continents, and cultures—the triumph of Christianity over paganism in late antiquity, the Spanish Inquisition, John Calvins dour theocracy, Southern plantations where African slaves had to accept their masters religion—the narrative is punctuated by portraits of individual converts embodying the sacred and profane. The cast includes Augustine of Hippo; John Donne; the German Jew Edith Stein, whose conversion to Catholicism did not save her from Auschwitz; boxing champion Muhammad Ali; and former President George W. Bush. The story also encompasses conversions to rigid secular ideologies, notably Stalinist Communism, with their own truth claims.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinally, Jacoby offers a powerful case for religious choice as a product of the secular Enlightenment. In a forthright and unsettling conclusion linking the present with the most violent parts of the Wests religious past, she reminds us that in the absence of Enlightenment values, radical Islamists are persecuting Christians, many other Muslims, and atheists in ways that recall the worst of the Middle Ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/6574\/2237\/files\/2.jpg?v=1747072654\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40701666754717,"sku":"9780375423758","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/6574\/2237\/products\/strange-gods-9780375423758-5289588.jpg?v=1769969526"},{"product_id":"maus-i-my-father-bleeds-history","title":"Maus I My Father Bleeds History by Art Spiegelman","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaperback, 159 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eby Art Spiegelman\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Pulitzer Prize-winning \u003cem\u003eMaus\u003c\/em\u003e tells the story of Vladek Spiegelman, a Jewish survivor of Hitler’s Europe, and his son, a cartoonist coming to terms with his father’s story. \u003cem\u003eMaus\u003c\/em\u003e approaches the unspeakable through the diminutive.

And “steadfast and loyal” was how he lived his life. He passed along his values of patriotism, education, close family ties, and hard work to three children and 14 grandchildren.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLong after his service in the Army was over, Bill’s daughter, Elsie Shemin-Roth, waged her own battle for many years to have the U.S. government award him the Medal of Honor that rightfully should have been awarded at the time of his service in World War I.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book also features Henry Johnson, an African American soldier who, like Bill, fought bravely and heroically in World War I—not far away from the battlefields where Bill fought in France in 1918. Like Bill, Henry Johnson’s bravery in saving his fellow soldiers’ lives went unrecognized with a Medal of Honor in his lifetime, even though his actions certainly called for one. William Shemin was discriminated against because he was a Jewish American, and there was a pronounced mood of anti-Semitism in the United States in 1918. Henry Johnson was discriminated against because he was African American at a time when African Americans were severely discriminated against in the U.S. Army and throughout American life.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" aria-expanded=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/6574\/2237\/files\/1.jpg?v=1746735216\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon and Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44032144802102,"sku":"9781947951648","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/6574\/2237\/files\/the-ivy-hero-the-brave-life-of-sergeant-william-shemin-511572.png?v=1762463587"},{"product_id":"martin-luther-king-the-peacefu-7-847384019017","title":"Martin Luther King: The Peaceful Warrior by Ed Clayton","description":"\u003cdiv aria-expanded=\"true\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eFollow the inspiring life of Martin Luther King Jr. in a moving, vital, and informative book by an author and an illustrator with close ties to Dr. King’s family.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMartin Luther King Jr. devoted his life to helping people, first as a Baptist minister and scholar and later as the foremost leader in the African-American civil rights movement.

Joe Cherry was 20. Mary Mitnick, the belle of South Philadelphia, was 17. That kiss between the author's parents ignited a remarkable love story, the subject of Cherry Delight. Starting married life with little but grit and determination, Joe and Mary survived the Great Depression and World War II. In post-war America, they thrived: Joe built successful food businesses-among them the business that created the iconic Slim Jim; Mary filled the family with good food (Jewish and American) and good values. Generous and big hearted, they shared their success and love, enriching many lives around them-none more than the author's. Robert Cherry, the acclaimed biographer of Wilt Chamberlain, spent three years writing his own parents' inspiring story, gathering material from government and synagogue archives in the Ukraine, his father's diaries, family letters, and interviews with friends and relatives. (And even if, unlike Wilt, the author's parents never led the NBA in rebounding or scoring, they are well worth reading about and spending time with.) However, this book is more than a memoir. It is a tribute to the Greatest Generation, a chronicle of courage, devotion and mettle. Yet the story also includes the dark days that inevitably intrude on even the sunniest of lives. Beginning in the Russian Empire and unfolding in Philadelphia, this narrative spans the late nineteenth century to the first decade of the twenty-first. The story of one family, in truth it is a story that will resonate with anyone whose ancestors built a life in America. Or who just enjoys a well-told tale.
