Download or read book Giantkillers written by Henry Scammell and published by Grove Press. This book was released on 2005-02 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1986, with contractors stealing an estimated 10 percent of the total federal budget by fraud, Congress passed a newly strengthened anticorruption law. Ordinary citizens could file lawsuits on behalf of the government to recover money stolen from the public treasury, and they would share in the result. In the years since, the False Claims Act has emerged as one of the nation's most potent weapons against corporate greed. Giantkillers is the story of that law: why it was needed, how it works, who brought it back to life, how it has survived the many attempts to kill it, and what it has accomplished. Charged with intrigue and courtroom drama, Giantkillers describes how an unlikely team--a conservative senator, a liberal congressman, and a crusading public interest attorney--revitalized one of America's oldest public interest laws that was gutted by lobbyists and almost forgotten. Recounting the battles for justice with a novelist's eye for their human drama, Scammell tells how the trailblazing firm of Phillips and Cohen gave the law back its teeth and made triumphant heroes out of those previously scorned as whistle-blowers.

Book excerpt: SINCE THE DAY YOU WERE BORN, there have been giants in your life. Tyrants of immense size who try to exert negative influence over your destiny. Giants try to intimidate you into inaction and apathy. They want to convince you that your past mistakes, family tree, size, and shame will always hold you back. I, too, was born with giants.

The shame of my own family history shadowed my life until I discovered the lessons revealed in this book, a searing expose of how our history can influence our legacy.

Download or read book Giant Killers written by Tim Hall and published by Initiate Media Pty Limited. This book was released on 2011 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The motionless form of a giant of Gath lay face down on the battlefield of Shochoh and blood from his forehead seeped into the earth below his face. The great intimidator Goliath, champion of Philistia, lay motionless. His terrifying words had ceased. A smooth stone from a shepherd boy's sling was embedded in his skull. Goliath was finished. For the shepherd boy David, it was a giant-sized step into the awesome place of destiny that God had ordained for him. It was a step from obscurity and rejection to kingly dominion, fame and wealth, global and eternal influence. It was a step that was ultimately felt as Messiah took His place in history establishing His Kingdom on Earth. Like David, an army of giant killers has been prepared by God for this hour. Often with small flocks and in lonely places of isolation, rejection and insignificance, this body of men, women, boys and girls is receiving its training for the most fruitful, significant time ever planned for world history. The giants we face are not going to destroy us. We are not their prey. They are ours. They are food for us. They are to be swallowed up by God's anointed champions, by the mighty power indwelling us. They are "our breakfast", strengthening our resolve to step up to each new day. Giant Killers will empower YOU, the everyday believer as YOU take on the Giants that YOU face in life. Tim Hall is a dynamic evangelist who has a passion to see souls saved and lives changed by the power of the Holy Spirit. Walk with Tim Hall as he guides you to experience the miraculous power of God in your life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Something good can come from even the most terrifying things. For eve y thing that is taken away, something else is given.” Ruth Brennan is a giant, “a rare, organic blunder pressed into a dollhouse world,” as she calls herself. Growing up in a small town, where even an ordinary person can’t simply fade into the background, there is no hiding the fact that Ruth is different: she can see it in the eyes of everyone around her, even her own parents. James and Elspeth Brennan are emotionally at sea, struggling with the devastation wrought on their lives by World War II and with their unspoken terror that the daughter they love may, like so much else, one day be taken away from them. But fate works in strange ways, and Ruth finds that for all the things that go unsaid around her, she is nonetheless able to see deeply into the secret hearts of others—their past traumas, their present fears, and the people they might become, if only they have courage enough.

Book excerpt: Gold runs thicker than blood. . . Aurelia hardly remembers a time before she was trapped in Phillip’s golden cage, captured and forced to become a part of his court to await her twenty-fourth birthday. Phillip speaks of horrible plans for her, terrible things, but he can hardly hope for them to work out when the Enchanted Forest has a giant problem. Plagued by attacks from the giant beings, Phillip has one option. Hire the infamous Giant Killer, Jack, with his stolen gold. Jack didn’t earn his fame by being nice. Jaded by life and determined to take whatever he wants for himself, Jack steps into this new court with his eyes on the caged princess. Her attitude calls to something primal inside him. Her lips beg him for a kiss. It’s forbidden, and might very well result in him losing his head, but Jack has never been scared of dying. Magic appears to those who demand it. Two paths call out for Aurelia: vengeance and freedom. The worlds collide and send ripples throughout the kingdom. Will she have the strength to survive it, or will she succumb to the chaos her sister left behind? After all, some things are worth more than gold. If you like Sarah J Maas, Gena Showalter, J.R. Ward, Laura Thalassa, or Jennifer L. Armentrout, you won’t be able to put down this highly addictive twisted fairy tale.

Download or read book Jack The Giant Killer And Beauty The Beast Illustrated by R Anning Bell The Banbury Cross Series written by Grace Rhys and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Banbury Cross Series was a collection of 12 volumes of books edited by Grace Rhys and published in London by Dent in the 1890s. Each book is attractively illustrated with full page and partial page pen and ink drawings in a classic Art Nouveau style by leading artists of the era. This title, Jack the Giant-Killer and Beauty & the Beast is accompanied by the sophisticated black and white open line work of Bell. His drawings perfectly convey the wickedness of the giant and the gentleness and compassion of Beauty. About the Illustrator: Robert Anning Bell (1863 - 1933) was an English artist and painter. He and a group of fellow artist-craftsmen brought about the last bloom of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. As well as painting in oil and watercolour, he also worked in stained glass and mosaic. Bell's illustrations are close in style to his contemporary Charles Ricketts. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality editions, using the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children.
