Persist and Pursue is a stirring memoir recounting the unlikely, remarkable journey of Pierre Nzuah from a remote village in the Central African nation of Cameroon to a graduate degree in electrical engineering in the United States.His polygamous family survived by subsistence farming while living in a mud-brick compound without electricity or potable water. His parents were in no rush to send Pierre, their eleventh of seventeen children, to school. At the age of eight, which is very late for a child to begin formal education, he ran out of patience and began sneaking out of the compound-without his father's knowledge-to start attending primary school. Even as a young boy, his hunger for learning was that strong.Pierre's story is exceptional because he does not come from a wealthy family, but driven by a constant hunger for success, he persevered through extraordinary circumstances and hardships to realize his dreams.

The inspiring, influential senator and bestselling author mixes vivid personal stories with a passionate plea for political transformation. Elizabeth Warren is a beacon for everyone who believes that real change can improve the lives of all Americans. Committed, fearless, and famously persistent, she brings her best game to every battle she wages. In Persist, Warren writes about six perspectives that have influenced her life and advocacy. She’s a mother who learned from wrenching personal experience why child care is so essential. She’s a teacher who has known since grade school the value of a good and affordable education. She’s a planner who understands that every complex problem requires a comprehensive response. She’s a fighter who discovered the hard way that nobody gives up power willingly. She’s a learner who thinks, listens, and works to fight racism in America. And she’s a woman who has proven over and over that women are just as capable as men. Candid and compelling, Persist is both a deeply personal book and a powerful call to action. Elizabeth Warren—one of our nation’s most visionary leaders—will inspire everyone to believe that if we’re willing to fight for it, profound change is well within our reach.

Burning Ones is a call to action. Christians will be encouraged and motivated to consider seriously stepping in the role of “burning ones” and “dread champions” to spread the Kingdom of God in the earth. Vivid and detailed descriptions of these champions are given throughout the book, supported with biblical examples and modern-day personal experiences, including real-life healings worldwide. Each of the seven chapters concludes with “Burning Questions” designed to stimulate thought and action, followed by a space for the reader to record “Your Response.” A “Prayer to Get You There” connects the reader with the Lord in a genuine way that caps the vital issues covered in the chapter.
