From the author of Home Land and Venus Drive comes Sam Lipsyte'ssearing, beautiful, and deeply comic novel, The Ask. A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Milo Burke, a development officer at a third-tier university, has "not been developing": after a run-in with a well-connected undergrad, he finds himself among the burgeoning class of the newly unemployed. Grasping after odd jobs to support his wife and child, Milo is offered one last chance by his former employer: he must reel in a potential donor—a major "ask"—who, mysteriously, has requested Milo's involvement. But it turns out that the ask is Milo's sinister college classmate Purdy Stuart. And the "give" won't come cheap. Probing many themes— or, perhaps, anxieties—including work, war, sex, class, child rearing, romantic comedies, Benjamin Franklin, cooking shows on death row, and the eroticization of chicken wire, Sam Lipsyte's The Ask is a burst of genius by an author who has already demonstrated that the truly provocative and important fictions are often the funniest ones.

Part two of the literary sci-fi thriller follows a boy and a girl who are caught in a warring town where thoughts can be heard – and secrets are never safe. Reaching the end of their flight in The Knife of Never Letting Go, Todd and Viola did not find healing and hope in Haven. They found instead their worst enemy, Mayor Prentiss, waiting to welcome them to New Prentisstown. There they are forced into separate lives: Todd to prison, and Viola to a house of healing where her wounds are treated. Soon Viola is swept into the ruthless activities of the Answer, while Todd faces impossible choices when forced to join the mayor’s oppressive new regime. In alternating narratives the two struggle to reconcile their own dubious actions with their deepest beliefs. Torn by confusion and compromise, suspicion and betrayal, can their trust in each other possibly survive?

In their groundbreaking book, Women Don’t Ask, Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever uncovered a startling fact: even women who negotiate brilliantly on behalf of others often falter when it comes to asking for themselves. Now they’ve developed the action plan that women all over the country requested—a guide to negotiation that starts before you get to the bargaining table. Ask for It explains why it’s essential to ask (men do it all the time) and teaches you how to ask effectively, in ways that feel comfortable to you as a woman. Whether you currently avoid negotiating like the plague or consider yourself hard-charging and fearless, Babcock and Laschever’s compelling stories of real women will help you recognize how much more you deserve—whether it’s a raise, that overdue promotion, an exciting new assignment, or even extra help around the house. Their four-phase program, backed by years of research, will show you how to identify what you’re really worth, maximize your bargaining power, develop the best strategy for your situation, and manage the reactions and emotions that may arise—on both sides. Guided step-by-step, you’ll learn how to draw on the special strengths you bring to the negotiating table to reach agreements that benefit everyone involved. This collaborative, problem-solving approach will propel you to new places both professionally and personally—and open doors you thought were closed. Because if you never hear no, you’re not asking enough.

Prayer is a universal language. Most of us learn to pray at a very young age. We might even learn some prayers by heart, like bedtime prayers, the Lord's prayer and others. We learn quickly that prayer is a way of talking to God. Young children pray about all kinds of things, from their wants to help for Daddy and Mommy. They trust God will come through. It is the prayer of faith that makes all the difference. It is asking God. This book is about just that - Asking God. 30 years ago, I did a Sunday School lesson and put together the notes for this study. It was called the A.S.K. Principle way back then. But the notes sat on the shelf for those 30 years until I ran across them in the fall of 2017. It was at this time God told me to put this book together. I dusted off the notes and plowed back into the study. I quickly found out I had learned a lot more since then and expanded the principle into the book you now hold in your hands. A friend of mine called this book a "spiritual vitamin." It contains a true picture of prayer and covers about every aspect of prayer. Over 250 scriptures and 45 books of the Bible are referenced. You will find here a treasure trove of prayer. My hope is that this book will transform your prayer life into one of power and authority. May you be led deeper into the throne room of prayer as you study these pages.
