Book excerpt: Buddha the Bachatero: The Eastern Wisdom of Latin Rhythm is a spiritual self-help book that infuses the timeless treasures and teachings of Eastern philosophy along with the culture and creativity of Bachata, the musical genre and dance that originated in the Dominican Republic. This book renews and reinvents the quality and consciousness of the modern man through a vision branded “Buddha the Bachatero.” Buddha the Bachatero is the embodiment of the Easter engine illuminated by Latin limbs, lyrics and love. By combining the silence and stillness of a Buddha and the sensuality and sazon of a Bachatero – synthesizing awareness and artistry, presence and poetry, eternal energy and emotions – we can profoundly penetrate the most pressing social, economical and artistic challenges that we face today in our relationships, businesses and daily lives.

Book excerpt: NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE from director Ridley Scott, starring Lady Gaga and Adam Driver The sensational true story of murder, madness, glamour, and greed that shook the Gucci dynasty, now fully updated with a new afterword On the morning of March 27, 1995, four quick shots cracked through Milan’s elegant streets. Maurizio Gucci, heir to the fabulous fashion dynasty, had been ambushed, slain on the steps to his office by an unknown gunman. Two years later, Milan’s chief of police entered the sumptuous palazzo of Maurizio’s ex-wife, Patrizia Reggiani—nicknamed “the Black Widow” by the press—and arrested her for the murder. Did Patrizia kill her ex-husband because his spending was wildly out of control? Did she do it because he was preparing to marry his mistress? Or is it possible Patrizia didn’t do it at all? The Gucci story is one of glitz, glamour, and intrigue—a chronicle of the rise, near fall, and subsequent resurgence of a fashion dynasty. Beautifully written, impeccably researched, and widely acclaimed, The House of Gucci is a page-turning account of high fashion, high finance, and heartrending personal tragedy.

Download or read book Yesterday There Was Glory written by Gerald Andrew Howell and published by University of North Texas Press. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1946, World War I veteran and self-described “buck private in the rear rank” Gerald Andrew Howell finished a memoir of the experiences of his squad from the 39th Infantry Regiment, 4th Division, and their “moments of horror, tragedy, humor, amour, [and] promiscuity” in Europe. This was “the old Army as it used to be,” Howell explains—the saga of the “down-trodden doughboy.” A few months later Howell was dead, his manuscript unpublished. Jeffrey Patrick discovered the memoir and the author’s correspondence with publishers and took on the task of bringing it to publication at last. Yesterday There Was Glory is an unpretentious account of men at war, from training camp to the occupation of Germany. It includes graphic descriptions of the battlefield, of shell fire, gas attacks, and lice. “Between the attacks the men would lay in their wet holes and pray for relief. But no relief came,” Howell remembers. He recalls much more than the horrors of combat, however, chronicling the diverse collection of heroes, professional warriors, shirkers, and braggarts that made up the American Expeditionary Forces. Howell and his comrades longed for wounds that would allow them to escape the war, but resolutely engaged the Germans in hand-to-hand combat. They poked fun at their comrades, but were willing to share their last can of food. They endured difficult marches, pursued “mademoiselles” and “frauleins,” and even staged a “strike” to protest mistreatment by their officers. They were as “ribald as any soldiery in any army,” Howell admits, but “underneath this veneer, they were really patriotic, steadfast and sincere.” Patrick provides an editor’s introduction and annotations to explain terms and sources in the memoir. Howell’s account preserves the flavor of army life with conversations and banter in soldier language, including the uncensored doughboy profanity often heard but seldom recorded.

Download or read book How Greed Coveteousness and Personal Gain Dominates Modern Day Evangelicalism written by Rev. Dr. Robert S. Henry and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-06-26 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our consumption-oriented society, everyone’s energy is seen to be directed at attainment and profit. The implication of this matter is enhanced by the explicit obsession and preoccupation with money matters among church groups. It is made even more serious because of the recent rise in the popularity of the “doctrine of prosperity” among certain evangelical groups. The modern-day preacher promotes wealth as a signal of spirituality and favor from God. Instead, they should be considerate about saving souls rather than accumulating wealth and hoarding what they have left over (Luke 22:35 KJV). Another matter is the audacious attitudes of some church leaders who think they have the authority regrading the interpretation of scriptures that addresses biblical prosperity. It is because of obvious errors in present-day teaching on giving and prosperity that there is so much uncertainty among those who want to support the work of God in a way that pleases Him. Many questions are left unanswered, resulting in confusion, unhealthy desires to become rich, and many misconceptions in the way the world views Christians in general. Because of the many abnormalities and uncertainties, this book examines the premise upon which the prosperity doctrine is built, and the methods used to raise finances. Moreover, doctrines that are inconsistent with Scripture are identified and repudiated.
