NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The gripping story of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos—one of the biggest corporate frauds in history—a tale of ambition and hubris set amid the bold promises of Silicon Valley, rigorously reported by the prize-winning journalist. With a new Afterword covering her trial and sentencing, bringing the story to a close. “Chilling ... Reads like a thriller ... Carreyrou tells [the Theranos story] virtually to perfection.” —The New York Times Book Review In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the next Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose startup “unicorn” promised to revolutionize the medical industry with its breakthrough device, which performed the whole range of laboratory tests from a single drop of blood. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fundraising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes’s worth at an estimated $4.5 billion. There was just one problem: The technology didn’t work. Erroneous results put patients in danger, leading to misdiagnoses and unnecessary treatments. All the while, Holmes and her partner, Sunny Balwani, worked to silence anyone who voiced misgivings—from journalists to their own employees.

The Wildfire is a 50-day scripture-based prayer book and journal for those desiring to fan into flame a Holy Spirit wildfire, a new Pentecost through soaking prayer. Let's invite the Holy Trinity into our lives to: 1) change and revive us; 2) work on us through His seven sanctification gifts; 3) use us through His nine enabling gifts; 4) teach us to be compassionate like the Holy Trinity; 5) show us how to be a good disciple like Mary; 6) worship God and pray in the harvest; and 7) pray for a release of His anointing. The journaling pages enable us to reflect on God's love and discover Holy Spirit gems of loving and walking with Him. Annet O'Mara experienced a physical healing in her hands in February 1990, after suffering a debilitating limitation on them. She, then, started praying a nine-day devotional to the Holy Spirit. On the first three nights of praying the devotional, the Holy Spirit visited Annet even as she slept and moved her hands in a dance-like fashion - it was as if her hands thanked and praised God, even as He healed them. Annet was convicted in her spirit that Jesus had completely healed her; He had restored complete movement to her hands. Now, through The Wildfire, Annet invites you to pray for a new, refreshing, and vibrant Pentecostal outpouring of God's grace and love to all who will surrender totally to Him, and walk faithfully with Him. She believes that you will experience a joyous revival in your heart, body, soul, and spirit as you pray for others, too. Currently, Annet works as a college writing instructor. She and her husband, Don, live in Syracuse, New York, where they serve in their local church community.

Welcome to South Carolina's Lowcountry, the so-called “Netherlands of the South," where good tales grow like sweet-grass and the truth is as tricky as the Devil himself. Author Brian McCreight recounts thirteen tall tales told to him by his friend Jim Aisle, the Lowcountry Liar, whose homespun Southern yarns weave fact and fiction like the Gullah women make sweet-grass baskets. These tales are for telling aloud; the funny and the fantastic betide true Southern characters in a style as smooth as morning on the Stono River. Hear from Jim the stories of Brave Bob and his encounter with the ne'er-do-wells at the old mansion; of Lazy Lowcountry Jack and his troubles earning his keep and following his mama's orders; and learn about the Native American boy way back when whose hungry fishing trip wound up supplying food for all the coastal peoples. Jim even tells his own story: a firsthand account of a foggy morning on Buzzard's Roost Point, an area strictly off-limits to all but the conjure men and root doctors who work their magic there.
