Inspiring Stories Every Young Person Should Know and Every Adult Should Remember
by John McCain & Mark Salter
John McCain and Mark Salter have written three
acclaimed bestsellers, but Character Is Destiny may be their most
influential and enduring book yet – a work for parents to share with
their children, and, for Americans of all ages to read for inspiration
and guidance.
McCain has been called "one of the most inspiring public
figures of his generation" by The Washington Post. In Character Is
Destiny, he shows us why, by telling the stories of celebrated
historical figures and lesser-known heroes whose values exemplify the
best of the human spirit. He illustrates these qualities with moving
stories of triumph against the odds, righteousness in the face of
iniquity, hope in adversity, and sacrifices for a cause greater than
self-interest.
'Starred Review. Amid much speculation concerning his plans
for 2008, McCain has made a declaration of values that liberals can
embrace as readily as conservatives.' - PW.

As unsettling as it is exhilarating, American Gods is a dark and kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth and across an America at once eerily familiar and utterly alien.
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
