Book excerpt: In this contemporary romance and suspense novel, England’s Ely Cathedral comes into bold relief, affecting the lives of a host of characters as if the Cathedral were a character itself. It has been said that the Octagon “has the power to move all sorts and conditions of men.” For many of the characters in this novel, this becomes a powerful and all-encompassing reality. In The Top of the Octagon, Fran is a beautiful young singer from the United States who is crushed in spirit and sick with guilt. She is released from her feelings of devastation by a most extraordinary woman whom she encounters in Ely Cathedral. Just when she seems to have a chance for genuine happiness with her new love Tom, Fran’s joy is suddenly put on hold. With his half-brother Brendan’s future in the balance, Tom finds himself thrust into the center of a conspiracy by Irish terrorists against the Cathedral. As he attempts to foil the plot, Tom teeters between life and death. On a dark and foggy night on the grounds of Ely, the most extraordinary woman returns. Tom’s life and the course of Fran’s future rest in her hands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would you do if you discovered that the world you were born into was a complete lie? "There is a veneer to this world we live in. A kind of covering, like a mask. If you start to peel back the layers, you will see things that you may not want to see..." In the future there is no war, no famine and no poverty. In the future the zombies didn't come. The apocalypse didn't happen and no virus wiped-out humanity. In the future the world is good. There is order, minimal crime and a content, well-fed society. Or so it seems... But if everything is so good, so perfect, then why does Jon Kobe, a First Year law enforcement graduate feel that something is not quite right with the world that he lives in? When the tortured body of a young girl is discovered in an alleyway, branded with a symbol meaning Hell, Kobe begins to see the frayed-edge of his world and the horrors that lie beneath. Below the surface of an idyllic society, awaits the sadistic truth where human lives are just fodder for the entertainment of the privileged few. For Kobe to survive, he must find the courage to abandon everything that he believes in and become something that he is not. Octagon is a gripping, page-turning sci-fi thriller and a brutal exploration of true human nature. Every future has a price. But are you willing to pay that price?

Download or read book The Octagon Conference September 1944 written by Joint History Office (U.S.) and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Octagon Conference (also called the Second Quebec Conference) occurred from September 12 to 16, 1944, in Quebec City, Canada. The primary attendees were President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British prime minister Winston S. Churchill, and the Combined Chiefs of Staff (CCS). Canadian prime minister Mackenzie King served as host for the conference but did not attend significant meetings. In addition to papers and meeting minutes from the Octagon Conference, this collection also includes minutes from the CCS meetings in London in June 1944. At the Octagon meetings, the participants discussed the invasion of France, including the progress of Operation Neptune, the cross-Channel portion of Operation Overlord. For the Pacific theater, the extent of British participation in the war against Japan was deliberated. One key discussion centered around the Burma campaign, including Operation Dracula, the airborne and amphibious attack on Rangoon. The most far-reaching exchange, however, concerned the allocation of postwar occupation zones in Germany. Octagon was one in a series of high-level conferences held by the US and British leaders in Washington, DC; Casablanca; Quebec; Cairo; Tehran; Malta; Yalta; and Potsdam to formulate the Allied grand strategy. At the Tehran, Yalta, and Potsdam conferences, the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin was also in attendance and played an important role.

This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Octagon of Spiritual Balances" was written and detailed for those who have been made aware of their salvation and are seeking the Christian way of life according to God's mandate as outlined in the Bible. The focus is on the origin, sequence, and balancing of the spiritual attributes: faith, knowledge, spiritual understanding, belief, trust, hope, love, obedience, peace, and joy. When these ten attributes are appropriated with the use of eight defined balances, a spiritual equilibrium is formed within the life of the believer. The purpose is to introduce and explain these spiritual attributes and their order of effective advent in the Christian life, instituting a spiritual foundation, awareness, and purpose in the believer, which in due course will create stability and harmony with God and life in the spirit. It enhances the believer's understanding of the work and will of God in their lives and empowers them to discern and receive what is of and from God as opposed to deceptive enticements. The believer will receive direction, purpose, spiritual clarity, and understanding as well as a confirmed spiritual equilibrium for Christian living. The reward and end result from following Jesus will be illuminated so vividly in the spirit of the believing reader that the reality of eternity will displace the thoughts of temporal time.
