1. “The Return: Trump's Big 2024 Comeback’’ by Dick Morris (Humanix Books)

Renowned campaign strategist Dick Morris provides the road map for Donald Trump and Republicans to take back the White House and Congress in November. The author says conservatives must realize that there are new rules, and “unless the right figures out how to beat the Democrats and the radical left under these new rules, freedom-loving Americans will lose again … With the election of 2020, everything pundits knew — or thought they knew — is obsolete in this new era of massively higher turnout.’’ (Nonfiction)

2. “Defenders of the West: The Christian Heroes Who Stood Against Islam” by Raymond Ibrahim, Forward by Victor Davis Hanson (Bombardier Books)

A detailed study of the lives and epic battles of eight Western defenders against violent jihad that sheds new light on the enduring conflict with radical Islam. Profiled are eight warriors — some saints, some sinners — who defended the Christian West against Islamic invasions, including Romania’s Vlad the Impaler (inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Count Dracula), Spain’s El Cid and England’s Richard the Lionheart. (Nonfiction)

3. “We'll Be Back: The Fall and Rise of America’’ by Kurt Schlichter (Regnery)

Schlichter, a lawyer and senior columnist at townhall.com, takes on the woke mob he believes seeks to stand in the way of a great nation's patriotic resurgence. He says our cities are cesspools of homelessness and crime, and the “land of opportunity’’ seems to be in irreversible decline. But Schlichter makes a compelling case that America’s downturn is not irreversible and offers insights on how to fix it. (Nonfiction)

4. “The Traitor King: The Scandalous Exile of the Duke & Duchess of Windsor’’ by Andrew Lownie (Pegasus)

Drawing upon newly released archives, biographer Lownie reveals new details into the King of England’s shocking abdication from the throne in 1936, foregoing his royal duties for the love of Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee. The Duke and Duchess of Windsor were, in their day, the most glamorous exiles in the world, flitting from sumptuously appointed mansions in the south of France to luxurious residences in Palm Beach. But, writes Lownie, they were spoiled, selfish people, obsessed with their image, and reveling in adulterous affairs, in a life riddled with treachery and betrayal. (Nonfiction)

5. “Her True Worth: Breaking Free from a Culture of Selfies, Side Hustles, and People Pleasing to Embrace Your True Identity in Christ” by Brittany Maher & Cassandra Speer (Thomas Nelson) 

After years of working in the beauty industry, Maher and Speer became disheartened by the “false, contradictory messages about what defines a woman's worth.’’ To combat this pattern, they founded the social media ministry Her True Worth, the mission of which is to “help Christian women uncover their valuable identity in Jesus Christ.’’ In this book, the authors reveal “what God intended our identity to be in the beginning, how sin corrupted it, how Christ has redeemed it, and how to live securely in that identity.’’ They say that by learning who Jesus is and who they are in him, women are transformed by this biblical message that shows them how worthy and deeply loved by God they are.
