Newsmax Rising Bestsellers offers a mixed bag of nonfiction offerings this week, including a GOP member of Congress' proposal to revamp our immigration system, and a series of stories from a physician illustrating instances where more than medical science was required to restore health — it took the power of prayer.

There is also the story of a young conservative powerhouse whose life was snuffed out by an assassin last year, and the case that Donald Trump’s 2024 victory was attributed to a “Revolution of Common Sense.”

This week’s novel is the first book in a new series of thrillers, written by a No. 1 bestselling author.


“Dignity Not Citizenship: The Truth About Immigration No One Is Telling You,”

by Maria Elvira Salazar (Regnery)

Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., submits that neither open, unchecked borders nor mass deportations are the answer to America’s immigration problem. The Miami-born daughter of Cuban refugees argues that we should focus on “Dignity, Not Citizenship.”

She makes the case for strengthening the borders and giving long-term, noncriminal aliens the opportunity to step out of the shadows by offering them some type of legal status — not necessarily citizenship.

That way they can contribute to society by paying taxes and reclaim their dignity. This “is one of the most honest and refreshing contributions to the immigration debate that I’ve read in years,” wrote Ashley Deazevedo for Amazon. “If you are serious about understanding why immigration reform keeps failing — and what a more honest, humane path forward could look like — ‘Dignity, Not Citizenship’ is absolutely worth your time.”  [Nonfiction]


“The Miracles Among Us: How God's Grace Plays a Role in Healing,” by Dr. Marc Siegel (Harper Influence)

In this No. 1 New York Times and Publishers Weekly bestseller, Dr. Marc Siegel submits that the road to physical healing isn’t always dictated by science and medicine — faith plays a role as well.

He knows this to be true because he’s seen it repeatedly as a physician and clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Health.

He relates many of those remarkable stories of patients who recovered from illnesses and injuries far beyond what medical science would dictate. “Whether or not a reader is religious, Dr. Siegel presents an interesting variety of detailed accounts of healing and recovery,” said Linda Schmidt for GoodReads. “As a person of faith, I found the stories of people holding various religious views truly miraculous.”  [Nonfiction]


“The Real Charlie Kirk,” by Dick Morris (Humanix Books)

In this New York Times bestseller, veteran strategist and commentator Dick Morris submits that the late political influencer and evangelist-turned-martyr Charlie Kirk played a pivotal role in President Donald Trump’s phenomenal 2024 victory, by reshaping how Republicans engaged with two key voter blocs: young voters and Catholic voters.

Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was assassinated while doing what he loved best in his public life — engaging with students on college campuses — especially those with opposing views. "Within these incendiary pages, Dick Morris, America's reigning dean of political strategy and tactics, completely unmasks the treasonous behavior of arguably the worst first family to ever darken the doors of the White House,” writes Peter Navarro in the book’s forward.  [Nonfiction]


“A Revolution of Common Sense: How Donald Trump Stormed Washington and Fought for Western Civilization,” by Scott Jennings (William Morrow)

Scott Jennings, often the lone conservative voice of reason on CNN, submits that President Donald Trump engaged in a “Revolution of Common Sense” to decisively win his reelection to the White House and bring both chambers of Congress along with him.

Trump’s mission is described as “a revolt against elite dogmas, a restoration of sanity in public life, and a reminder that America’s best days aren’t behind us.” Thomas Paine wrote in “Common Sense” that “we have it in our power to begin the world over again,” which is what Jennings says Trump and his Cabinet are trying to do now.

As it turns out, Jennings has a connection with the subject of the previous book, “The Real Charlie Kirk.” He now co-hosts Charlie Kirk’s Salem radio show time slot. “A well-written book about how and why President Trump became the United States President, along with some of his accomplishments,” wrote B. Moss for Amazon. “For once, a book on President Trump based on facts. What a concept. Well done Scott Jennings!”  [Nonfiction]


“Nash Falls,” by David Baldacci (Grand Central Publishing)

In this first book in a new series of thrillers by No. 1 New York bestselling novelist David Baldacci, the FBI recruits Walter Nash, a senior executive vice president at a large investment firm, to expose a global money-laundering network within his company. This case is especially important to the FBI, because the network is headed by international criminal mastermind Victoria Steers, and the bureau has had her in their sights for a long time. When Steers learns that the FBI has recruited Nash, his life is turned upside down. "In Baldacci’s long list of heroes, Walter Nash is among the most memorable,” wrote Publishers Weekly. “Wherever Baldacci chooses to take Nash next, readers would be well advised to follow."  [Fiction]
