Download or read book History s Most Daring Rogues and Villains written by Nigel Blundell and published by Pen and Sword True Crime. This book was released on 2022-05-05 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gathered together within the pages of this book is a roguish array of artful tricksters, fantastic fakers, rascally fraudsters and cunning conmen. They all bend the rules and usually the law. Yet however reprehensible their misdeeds, these thoroughly rotten scoundrels often display the very essence of enterprise and adventure. It would be wrong to condone their antics, of course, but it is difficult not to admire their artifice. After all, this sort of raffish crime has spawned scores of anti-heroes in books, movies and TV series. But the stories told here are all true – among the most barely-believable dodgy misdeeds of the past two centuries. Powerful motives drive this book’s extraordinary characters as they rampage on the wrong side of the law. Greed is the most usual, ambition is another, lust sometimes plays a compelling part. But many are compelled by no other cause than a perverted sense of adventure. It is these various forces that link the disparate bunch of characters in this fascinating catalogue of crime. If, as the saying goes, ‘the Devil has the best tunes’, he certainly also has some of the best stories – and here are some of the most startling case histories. Together they’re the diabolically fiendish work of History’s Most Daring Rogues and Villains.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I messed up when reflecting my generation. I grew up when transcending them and all their friends. What liberalism has always done is seek the wisdom of pagans. Imagine that: sinking to such low stations. They love the earth: "interplanetary coming together". Behind it is occult spirituality: demons/stormy weather. Paganism is no longer called "new age" but rather "progressive spirituality" and it's globalism/not ok.

Download or read book It Didn t Have to Be This Way written by Harry Veryser and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-12-12 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Excellent . . . I highly recommend this book." —RON PAUL Why is the boom-and-bust cycle so persistent? Why did economists fail to predict the economic meltdown that began in 2007—or to pull us out of the crisis more quickly? And how can we prevent future calamities? Mainstream economics has no adequate answers for these pressing questions. To understand how we got here, and how we can ensure prosperity, we must turn to an alternative to the dominant approach: the Austrian School of economics. Unfortunately, few people have even a vague understanding of the Austrian School, despite the prominence of leading figures such as Nobel Prize winner F. A. Hayek, author of The Road to Serfdom. Harry C. Veryser corrects that problem in this powerful and eye-opening book. In presenting the Austrian School’s perspective, he reveals why the boom-and-bust cycle is unnatural and unnecessary. Veryser tells the fascinating (but frightening) story of how our modern economic condition developed. The most recent recession, far from being an isolated incident, was part of a larger cycle that has been the scourge of the West for a century—a cycle rooted in government manipulation of markets and currency. The lesson is clear: the devastation of the recent economic crisis—and of stagflation in the 1970s, and of the Great Depression in the 1930s—could have been avoided. It didn’t have to be this way. Too long unappreciated, the Austrian School of economics reveals the crucial conditions for a successful economy and points the way to a free, prosperous, and humane society.
Download or read book So Much More written by Todd Hudson and published by Charisma Media. This book was released on 2014 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The normal Christian life should be anything but "normal"--it should be supernatural, one in which the living God expresses His very life in us and through us. With So Much More! Pastor Todd Hudson challenges all believers to embrace the supernatural power of God as a lifestyle. Todd is no stranger to his message. His own life has been supernaturally "wrecked," he says, by the Holy Spirit. When God called him to resign from the 4,000-member evangelical megachurch he led for nine years and plant a Spirit-filled church, he began a new ministry of calling believers to live in resurrection power today, not someday in the future. If you know deep inside that there must be so much more to the Christian life, then Todd will help you discover how to experience and release the kingdom in your life today and tomorrow!
