Revisiting and disputing a key allegation of a commonly told story of WWII Japanese military bases during World War II concerns one of this week’s Newsmax Rising Bestsellers. Three others involve religious themes. The first tells the story of what may be the most remarkable military chaplain in American history — certainly during the 20th century. The second discusses a trend that has become something of a religion among leftist educators — using schools to transition America’s youth. Another makes the case that a paper discovered 150 years ago may in fact be a direct message from Christ. The fiction selection is the latest work from what may be America’s most read and prolific novelists.
“Crosshairs,” by James Patterson & James O. Born (Little, Brown and Company)
This is the 16th installment of No. 1 New York Times bestselling author James Patterson’s series centered on New York City detective Michael Bennett. In this one, he teams up with Officer Rob Trilling, a former Army Ranger and sniper with the NYPD’s Emergency Services Unit. But after a series of unexplained absences, questions arise as to whether Trilling is actually an assassin. “I enjoy the balance that this series has between Michael’s home life and his work life. Father to 10 adopted children, his still rather new marriage to their former nanny Mary Catherine brings him immense joy,” said RobinLovesReading in her GoodReads review. “What a thrilling read! I can’t believe that we have made it to 16 books in this amazing series. Not only is Mike an exceptional detective, leaving no stone unturned, his compassion as well as his love for his large family is always evident.” [Fiction]“The Comfort Women Hoax: A Fake Memoir, North Korean Spies, and Hit Squads in the Academic Swamp,” by J. Mark Ramseyer & Jason M. Morgan (Encounter Books)
