Book excerpt: Suicide has become almost an epidemic in the United States, with an average of 523 adults and teens committing suicide every week. Yet the issue of suicide is something that many Americans have not felt capable of handling. Still, the questions arise: What are the spiritual implications of suicide? Is suicide the unpardonable sin? What does God say on this subject? The answers to these questions and a host of related ones are found in this book. The purpose of this book is to share God's truth about suicide and to comfort the hearts of those who mourn. My prayer is that everyone who reads this book will do so with an open heart, and with the mindset to discover the truth. Additionally, my prayer is that people will find peace through the liberation of the Word and will help others who are weary and heavy laden to find it also. front cover design by a'lexa's designs

Download or read book From Powder Monkey to Admiral A Story of Naval Adventure written by William Henry Giles Kingston and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Talking the matter over, it was objected that such a story might offend peaceable folk, because it must deal too much with blood and gunpowder. Mr Kingston, although famed as a narrator of sea-fights, was a lover of peace, and he said that his story would not encourage the war spirit. Those who cared chiefly to read about battles might turn to the pages of ÒBritish Naval History.Ó He chose the period of the great war for his story, because it was a time of stirring events and adventures. The main part of the narrative belongs to the early years of life, in which boys would feel most interest and sympathy. And throughout the tale, not ÒgloryÓ but ÒdutyÓ is the object set before the youthful reader. It was further objected that the title of the story set before boys an impossible object of ambition. The French have a saying, that Òevery soldier carries in his knapsack a marshalÕs baton,Ó meaning that the way is open for rising to the very highest rank in their army. But who ever heard of a sailor lad rising to be an Admiral in the British Navy? Let us see how history answers this question. There was a great sea captain of other days, whose fame is not eclipsed by the glorious reputations of later wars, Admiral Benbow. In the reign of Queen Anne, before the great Duke of Marlborough had begun his victorious career, Benbow had broken the power of France on the sea. Rank and routine were powerful in those days, as now; but when a time of peril comes, the best man is wanted, and Benbow was promoted out of turn, by royal command, to the rank of Vice-Admiral, and went after the fleet of Admiral Ducasse to the West Indies. In the little church of Saint AndrewÕs, Kingston, Jamaica, his body lies, and the memorial stone speaks of him as Òa true pattern of English courage, who lost his life in defence of queen and country.Ó
