This week's Newsmax Rising Bestseller addresses movements that many see as threating America's core values: globalism and Marxism. Two others examine movements that seek to improve society: homeschooling and artificial intelligence. And, for fiction, there is what looks to be the first in a new series of novels, written by a new father-son team of novelists, Humberto and David Cancio.
"Gabriel Lock: Bound by Law," by D. & H. Cancio (Atlas Elite Publishing Partners)
With the prospect of becoming a series of tales surrounding the exploits of a young Miami lawyer named Gabriel Lock in the early 1980s, this adventure tells of Lock's sense of ethics and integrity which force him to leave the state attorney's office. He joins his father's private law firm, where he learns that the law seldom has a black and white clarity. Although fiction, the book takes an intimate look at the attorney-client relationship as Lock often struggles with his faith and emotions to represent his clients and meet their expectations. "What I liked most about it was that it explored human emotions and kindness that can exist during some very tough situations," wrote Miriam Calderin for GoodReads. "Gabriel is hard on himself but is a very upstanding young man who loves his family and his faith. I look forward to reading other books by these authors, and hopefully they'll include a love interest!" [Fiction]
"Dethrone Davos: Save America," by Theodore Gadsden Pierce (Liquid & Leaf, LLC)
America was founded on the principle of individual liberty, where the people are superior to the state. But as an unsustainable debt and political division consume the country, the left pushes it closer to globalism — the exact opposite of the Founders' blueprint. And nothing represents globalism more than Davos, Switzerland, the annual meeting place for the World Economic Forum. "Dethrone Davos" helps the reader to make sense of what's going on and what needs to be done to restore America and renew its future. "Everyone around me is blaming the world's problems on different groups of people, but we never can connect the BIG picture of what's happened to our culture and our world until this book," said Rehan Clement for Amazon. "We can't win if we don't know our enemy or our goal, and this book helps us get clear on both!" [Nonfiction]
"God-Given or Bust: Defeating Marxism and Saving America with Biblical Truths," by Cheryl K. Chumley (Bombardier Books)
The premise of fundamental rights as envisioned by the Founders, is that they're inalienable. That is, there are certain rights that are natural or God-given. Because they're not granted by the government, the government cannot take them away.
But many have witnessed in recent years that government has drifted away from that principle and increasingly restricted First Amendment free speech and press rights "for the greater good," as during the COVID-19 spread. And John Adams once observed that "Liberty, once lost, is lost forever." Author Cheryl K. Chumley argues if we don't jealously cling to those rights, the closer we'll creep toward Marxism. "This book is a riveting exploration of how America has strayed from the intentions of its Founding Fathers and turned its back on God," wrote Anon for Amazon. "Cheryl Chumley meticulously lays out the current state of the media, the motives of influential figures like Bill Gates, and the deceptions propagated by Dr. (Anthony) Fauci, among other topics. I found the book so compelling that I finished it in just two days." [Nonfiction]
"Parents' Guide to Homeschool: Making Education Easy and Fun," by Sam Sorbo (Humanix Books)
Actress Sandra Lynn "Sam" Sorbo, the wife of conservative actor Kevin Sorbo, previously wrote "They're Your Kids," a book that chronicled her own family's experience with homeschooling. In this offering, her latest, Sorbo explains how readers can do the same. Public education has come under attack recently by drifting away from teaching the core subjects and concentrating instead on subjects like critical race theory, gender fluidity and other liberal social concepts. As a result, children are graduating without the ability to read, write, or perform math at grade level. But if the thought of taking over the education of your children seems daunting, Sorbo offers this guide, "Making Education Easy And Fun." "In your heart you probably suspect that homeschooling is better for your kids, but how do you do it?" asked political commentator Tucker Carlson. "Sam Sorbo knows, and her family is testament to the fact it works." [Nonfiction]
"Some Future Day: How AI Is Going to Change Everything," by Marc Beckman (Skyhorse)
Forty years ago, a memorable tag line in the advertisements for a recording tape company went, "is it live, or is it Memorex?" Today we might ask of nearly anything produced, from films, to photos, to novels, "is it real, or is it AI?" New York University adjunct professor, entrepreneur, and "Some Fine Day" podcaster Marc Beckman gives readers the scoop on something that's taking over almost every facet of everyday life — artificial intelligence (AI). What we see today, he says, is just the beginning. AI will eventually impact the workplace, home environment, leisure time and entertainment — for the better. "Reading this book was an eye-opening experience," said James M. for Amazon. "It left me with a much deeper understanding of AI's role in our present and future, equipping me with the knowledge to navigate this rapidly evolving landscape. If you want to stay ahead of the curve and truly grasp how AI is changing everything, Some Future Day is a must read." [Nonfiction]
