Story
An autobiography usually requires a justification. The great autobiographies—those by Benvenuto Cellini, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Benjamin Franklin, and Henry Brooks Adams—were justified by their authors living in interesting times, harboring radically new ideas, or participating in great events. Joseph Epstein qualifies on none of these counts. His life has been quiet, lucky in numerous ways, and far from dramatic. But it has also been emblematic of the great changes in our country since World War II. Never Say You’ve Had a Lucky Life is an intimate look at one life steeped in radical change.

Story
How does a poor, Hispanic girl living in the projects of New Mexico grow up to work on Capitol Hill, meet a U.S. President, and become a state James Madison Fellow? Idell Koury can tell you how—through the grace of Jesus Christ.

But God had His hand on her whether she was in foster care or seeking refuge in one of her half-sibling’s ...
