(WASHINGTON, D.C.) THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2024 – Demi-Leigh Tebow’s new book “A Crown That Lasts” will lead the September Fall lineup for WMAL’s The All-American Book Club. Tebow, former Miss Universe, and Miss South Africa, confesses the danger of tying our identities to our accomplishments. Her book talks about discovering the truth of who you were created to be and how to use your platform, no matter how big or small, for eternal impact.
“On this earth, a crown is what separates victors from the rest of the competitors, but the goal of creating a life worth living is not to gain a trophy, get a prize, or keep the crown. Our lives are not meant to be about being number one or making our own names known. While walking you through the journey of her evolving confidence—from basing her identity on temporary labels and her own efforts, to discovering the rock-solid security of anchoring her dreams in her Maker—Demi weaves her story together with the insights she’s learned along the way.”
The September Fall book features at The All-American Book Club is thrilled to bring guests that are devoted to God, Family, and Country; the faithful voices who advocate in the public square exhibiting the power of family values make an impact, said Eden Gordon Hill, host of The All-American Book Club. Demi’s book is a powerful feature leading the many great American authors for the September lineup; this show shares the importance of community and encourages conversations around the kitchen table. We’re enriching lives with the values that make America great.

“Follow The Science” by Sharyl Attkisson
From Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist and New York Times bestselling author Sharyl Attkisson, comes a stunning exposé of the corruption that has ruled the pharmaceutical industry and news media for decades in “FOLLOW THE SCIENCE: How Big Pharma Misleads, Obscures, and Prevails.”
“FOLLOW THE SCIENCE” recounts, in exacting detail, how far the pharmaceutical industry and its supporters in medicine, media, and government will go to protect their profits. Attkisson provides shocking examples that reveal the disturbing callousness our government, public health officials, and top researchers are capable of when it comes to the most vulnerable among us. And she explains, in a graphic sense, how some of the most trusted within our society are willing to commit life-threatening ethics violations. When caught, they circle the wagons and marshal forces to defend their bad acts, and take steps to cruelly silence the injured and smear those who would expose them.
“Let’s Roll,” by Lisa Beamer with Ken Abraham (Special Feature to WMAL.com on Saturday, September 14)
Lisa Beamer was thrust into the national spotlight after her husband, Todd, led a counterattack against terrorists on United Flight 93. He―and all the other passenger heroes―lost their lives in a Pennsylvania field. Todd’s last known words, “Let’s roll!” have become a rallying cry for the entire American nation. Let’s Roll! is a message of character, courage, and undeniable faith in the face of horrifying tragedy, and encourages anyone who reads it to live real life right now . . . and to have confidence and hope for the future.
“No Address”, by Ken Abraham
The novel “No Address” is written by 15-time New York Times Best Selling Author Ken Abraham. Based on the critically acclaimed dramatic film and inspired by true events, “No Address” shows how homelessness could happen to anyone.
“I look for stories that have the potential to transform the fabric of our society, and ‘No Address’ rises to the top in that category,” shares Ken Abraham. “To help someone who has no way of repaying you is one of the greatest joys in life and I believe ‘No Address’ can inspire that sort of response in millions of people.”
“No Address” is a gripping tale about a group of individuals who find themselves homeless due to unfortunate circumstances. It provides a realistic portrayal of their fight for survival against the gangs, vigilantes, and an uncompassionate community. It features celebrity cast members, including William Baldwin, Xander Berkeley, Beverly D’Angelo, Ashanti, Lucas Jade Zumann, Isabella Ferreira, Patricia Velasquez, and Ty Pennington. To take homelessness head-on and do more, “The Big 5” includes the “No Address” movie, novel, documentary, an interactive study guide, and an upcoming music album.

“It’s an exciting time in Sweet River, Texas, and the whole town is talking. Maybe, a little too much. Former English professor Ainsley McGregor has gambled everything on her new business: Bless Your Art, an artisan market where local artists sell their wares and teach classes.
The bright, white space is filled to the brim with colorful art, yarn, jewelry, pet treats, antiques and even a few medieval weapons. Oh, and there are wine tastings. Everything is better with wine. Ainsley is surprised by how well things are going–right up until the moment her Great Dane finds a dead body. With her friend accused of the murder, it’s up to Ainsley to find the real killer.
As the suspect list grows longer, Ainsley has her work cut out for her. The task is made more difficult by the fact her brother, the sheriff, doesn’t seem to want her help. If she doesn’t wrap up the case soon, she might be the next wine, um, one to die.”
