AN ENGAGING INSIDER'S ACCOUNT OF SOME OF THE MOST FASCINATING DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL EPISODES IN CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN HISTORY, FROM THE HIGHLY RESPECTED FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE WHO REMAINS A DEMOCRATIC ELDER STATESMAN. Warren Christopher is that rarest of Washington personalities: a wise and witty public servant once described by the Washington Post as "the antithesis of the glitz-hungry, self-aggrandizing, corner-cutting political figures who dominate Washington today." In this memoir, the man whose sage counsel and sometimes parodied discretion brought him to the right hand of mayors, governors, and presidents, shares his personal recollections and impressions of leaders and events that shaped the second half of the twentieth century. Writing in tightly crafted, often self-effacing prose, Christopher chronicles how he left the privacy of life at a premier law firm to heed calls to public service from Supreme Court justice William O. Douglas, Los Angeles mayor Tom Bradley, and California governor Edmund "Pat" Brown -- as well as presidents Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton. Throughout his career, Christopher faced diverse challenges: he advised a president on whether to dispatch federal troops to quell civil disturbances; led negotiations to free American hostages in Iran; investigated a major city's police force gone awry; and helped cope with Yitzhak Rabin's assassination. From "Starting from Scranton" and "The Johnson Treatment" to "Middle East: Antipodes" and "Yesterday a War, Today a Country," each chapter is a compelling story on its own. Together, they offer the first clear picture of the impact of this quiet North Dakotan on modern American history.

Where did man come from? Why is he here? Where is he going? Throughout the pages of Your Chance of a Lifetime, biblical quotes and other historical writings of inspired men and women are present, and we are provided clear direction and answers to these questions. Life on earth is an opportunity to gain knowledge, learn the difference between right and wrong, make choices, and develop an eternal soul worthy of various levels of eternal life. The King James Bible records in John 14:2, "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you." Based on decisions made in life, the size, location, and neighborhood of this eternal mansion will be determined. A few very unrighteous souls will be cast into outer darkness to live with Satan and his angels forever. Eternal life has many glories. In writings to the Corinthian saints, Paul taught the doctrine that in death, man will be resurrected to different glories based on obedience to Christ's teaching. First Corinthians 15:40-42 reads: There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 41: There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. 42. So also is the resurrection of the dead. Where will you live in eternity, and who will be your neighbors? Please email messagekentellis@gmail.com with any questions, comments or enquiries
