Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1997, Dr. Derber had prepared a message to preach in a conference that his church was hosting, but the night before he was scheduled to preach, God spoke to him. It was well after midnight when he went to bed and his 3 A.M. prayer time was not far off. As he laid his head down on the pillow, the Lord said, “Philip, I’ve got a plan.” He replied, “Lord, I know You have a plan.” God said, “No Philip, I have a plan.” He told the Lord, “Let me go to sleep and tell it to me in the morning.” The Lord ignored that and said, “I have a plan, Philip, to bankrupt the devil!” That immediately captured his attention. Imagine a plan that would not only bring the wealth of the sinner into the hands of the church, but would also paralyze all of the devil's operations. In this book, Dr. Derber expounds this Master Plan that the Lord downloaded into him that night. Get ready to receive your wealthy place as you become a part of God's Master Plan in Bankrupting the devil.
Download or read book Bankrupting the Enemy written by Edward S Miller and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2007-09-10 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning author Edward S. Miller contends in this new work that the United States forced Japan into international bankruptcy to deter its aggression. While researching newly declassified records of the Treasury and Federal Reserve, Miller, a retired chief financial executive of a Fortune 500 resources corporation, uncovered just how much money mattered. Washington experts confidently predicted that the war in China would bankrupt Japan, not knowing that the Japanese government had a huge cache of dollars fraudulently hidden in New York. Once discovered, Japan scrambled to extract the money. But, Miller explains, in July 1941 President Roosevelt invoked a long-forgotten clause of the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917 to freeze Japan s dollars and forbade it to sell its hoard of gold to the U.S. Treasury, the only open gold market after 1939. Roosevelt s temporary gambit to bring Japan to its senses, not its knees, was thwarted, however, by opportunistic bureaucrats. Dean Acheson, his handpicked administrator, slyly maneuvered to deny Japan the dollars needed to buy oil and other resources for war and for economic survival. Miller's lucid writing and thorough understanding of the complexities of international finance enable readers unfamiliar with financial concepts and terminology to grasp his explanation of the impact of U.S. economic policies on Japan. His review of thirty-seven studies of Japan's resource deficiencies begs the question of why no U.S. agency calculated the impact of the freeze on Japan's overall economy. His analysis of a massive OSS-State Department study of prewar Japan clearly demonstrates that the deprivations facing the Japanese people were the country to remain in financial limbo buttressed its choice of war at Pearl Harbor. Such a well-documented study is certain to be recognized for its significant contributions to the historiography of the origins of the Pacific War.

Download or read book All the Devils Are Here written by Bethany McLean and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-08-30 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed as "the best business book of 2010" (Huffington Post), this New York Times bestseller about the 2008 financial crisis brings the devastation of the Great Recession to life. As soon as the financial crisis erupted, the finger-pointing began. Should the blame fall on Wall Street, Main Street, or Pennsylvania Avenue? On greedy traders, misguided regulators, sleazy subprime companies, cowardly legislators, or clueless home buyers? According to Bethany McLean and Joe Nocera, two of America's most acclaimed business journalists, many devils helped bring hell to the economy. All the Devils Are Here goes back several decades to weave the hidden history of the financial crisis in a way no previous book has done. It explores the motivations of everyone from famous CEOs, cabinet secretaries, and politicians to anonymous lenders, borrowers, analysts, and Wall Street traders. It delves into the powerful American mythology of homeownership. And it proves that the crisis ultimately wasn't about finance at all; it was about human nature. Just as McLean's The Smartest Guys in the Room was hailed as the best Enron book on a crowded shelf, so will All the Devils Are Here be remembered for finally making sense of the financial meltdown and its consequences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it. And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.” – Isaiah 29:8-9 The 2020 events of the global pandemic had me searching online for help. (Actually, it had us all running for cover: masking, gelling, distancing and hoarding!) I found courage in the sermons of a Ladies ministry teacher and Pastor’s wife, Sister Claudette Walker. (Faith Apostolic Church of Troy, Michigan). I loved her boldness! I loved her confidence in Christ. She was so revealing on the nature of God. I said within myself, “You are right, God would never leave us, nor forsake us.” I knew this! I saw a great ray of sunshine through YouTube video sermons. Interesting, I had listened to them before, just a couple years earlier, but this time I was paying close attention to what God was doing and saying through her. I felt my courage rise in me to fight back against fear and depression – more than that, I recognized the source of evil. It was demonic and it was coming for us all! This book was birthed through the 2020 COVID outbreak. I lovingly dedicate it to Sister Claudette Walker and to our LORD, Jesus Christ.

Download or read book Between Debt and the Devil written by Adair Turner and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-02 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why our addiction to debt caused the global financial crisis and is the root of our financial woes Adair Turner became chairman of Britain's Financial Services Authority just as the global financial crisis struck in 2008, and he played a leading role in redesigning global financial regulation. In this eye-opening book, he sets the record straight about what really caused the crisis. It didn’t happen because banks are too big to fail—our addiction to private debt is to blame. Between Debt and the Devil challenges the belief that we need credit growth to fuel economic growth, and that rising debt is okay as long as inflation remains low. In fact, most credit is not needed for economic growth—but it drives real estate booms and busts and leads to financial crisis and depression. Turner explains why public policy needs to manage the growth and allocation of credit creation, and why debt needs to be taxed as a form of economic pollution. Banks need far more capital, real estate lending must be restricted, and we need to tackle inequality and mitigate the relentless rise of real estate prices. Turner also debunks the big myth about fiat money—the erroneous notion that printing money will lead to harmful inflation. To escape the mess created by past policy errors, we sometimes need to monetize government debt and finance fiscal deficits with central-bank money. Between Debt and the Devil shows why we need to reject the assumptions that private credit is essential to growth and fiat money is inevitably dangerous. Each has its advantages, and each creates risks that public policy must consciously balance.

Download or read book HE CAME TO DESTROY THE CHURCH written by Haya Power and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2020-01-16 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a must read for all God-believing, Bible-believing, pastors who are retiring or leaving their position for any reason. It is also a must-read book by all readers who are searching for a Christian church led by a God-fearing Bible-believing pastor. In addition, the book will educate families so that they can have ideas of what to do when the family is voodooed. The book tells all the tricks and techniques that are used by pastors that are pretenders and are devil worshippers, not godly pastors. Yes, I mean some pastors are not really pastors, and they do not believe in our Mighty Father God! Their goal is to destroy the churches, so they move from church to church to accomplish their evil mission. This book will prepare you with many tricks that are played to God's children. After reading this book, you will thank God, and you will become strong in faith. You will realize God is the only way and is stronger than any devil. However, as Christians, we must be prepared. You do not want to be caught off guard! This is what makes the devil happy because many people (Christians) never expected such tricks and had never seen neither expected such tricks, just because they believe the devil cannot tempt them because they are born again! I have given many true examples to help you understand how the enemy works. This can be very difficult for Christians who have lived a clean life all their life until they are tested. This book will help to make your faith stronger and be able to fight the evil one if you meet a voodoo pastor at a church or other voodoo people outside the church. This book will also help non-Christians to understand the way of our mighty God is the best way and no other way. God's grace and peace to all who will be reading this book! The devil does not want you to read this book, but I wish you all the best, and let us be strong with God so that when in this world we are tested like Job, our Mighty Father can give us wisdom and strength in faith to fight the devil! I have had some people or some pastors say, the devil cannot attack born-again Christians. This is not true. Satan has no boundaries on the earth; he is in all countries of this world. His goal is to attack and corrupt Christians who are not strong in their faith. In summary, I pray that this book will help make your faith in God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) stronger!
Download or read book Devil s Bargains written by Hal Rothman and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The West is popularly perceived as America's last outpost of unfettered opportunity, but twentieth-century corporate tourism has transformed it into America's "land of opportunism." From Sun Valley to Santa Fe, towns throughout the West have been turned over to outsiders—and not just to those who visit and move on, but to those who stay and control. Although tourism has been a blessing for many, bringing economic and cultural prosperity to communities without obvious means of support or allowing towns on the brink of extinction to renew themselves; the costs on more intangible levels may be said to outweigh the benefits and be a devil's bargain in the making. Hal Rothman examines the effect of twentieth-century tourism on the West and exposes that industry's darker side. He tells how tourism evolved from Grand Canyon rail trips to Sun Valley ski weekends and Disneyland vacations, and how the post-World War II boom in air travel and luxury hotels capitalized on a surge in discretionary income for many Americans, combined with newfound leisure time. From major destinations like Las Vegas to revitalized towns like Aspen and Moab, Rothman reveals how the introduction of tourism into a community may seem innocuous, but residents gradually realize, as they seek to preserve the authenticity of their communities, that decision-making power has subtly shifted from the community itself to the newly arrived corporate financiers. And because tourism often results in a redistribution of wealth and power to "outsiders," observes Rothman, it represents a new form of colonialism for the region. By depicting the nature of tourism in the American West through true stories of places and individuals that have felt its grasp, Rothman doesn't just document the effects of tourism but provides us with an enlightened explanation of the shape these changes take. Deftly balancing historical perspective with an eye for what's happening in the region right now, his book sets new standards for the study of tourism and is one that no citizen of the West whose life is touched by that industry can afford to ignore.
