Download or read book Pushing Against Darkness written by Michael H Imhof and published by TEACH Services, Inc.. This book was released on with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you wonder what is going on in our country lately-the rioting, fires, violent protests, etc.-you need to read this book. Commander Imhof takes the reader behind the scenes to expose some of the evil and the evil-doers that operate covertly and pull the strings of not only those in government positions who play into their hands, but also in the private sector. You will learn who is behind the rabid efforts to take out President Trump and why they are so desperate to remove him from office. Commander Imhof is convinced that America needs to return to its Christian roots. He firmly believes Americans should heed 2 Chronicles 7:14, which says, "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." This book is a collection of short op-ed pieces that Commander Imhof wrote and were published in his local newspaper over a period of several years. As such, some of the information will appear dated. But that's OK because the point being made is still relevant today. Each article is short, to the point, and packs a punch that will leave you wanting to stand up and cheer. Either that, or you will shake your head with sadness as you become aware of the truly evil things that are happening in America today.

Download or read book The White Darkness written by David Grann and published by Doubleday. This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon and The Wager, a thrilling and powerful true story of adventure and obsession in the Antarctic, lavishly illustrated with color photographs. "[Grann is] one of the preeminent adventure and true-crime writers working today."—New York Magazine Henry Worsley was a devoted husband and father and a decorated British special forces officer who believed in honor and sacrifice. He was also a man obsessed. He spent his life idolizing Ernest Shackleton, the nineteenth-century polar explorer, who tried to become the first person to reach the South Pole, and later sought to cross Antarctica on foot. Shackleton never completed his journeys, but he repeatedly rescued his men from certain death, and emerged as one of the greatest leaders in history. Worsley felt an overpowering connection to those expeditions. He was related to one of Shackleton's men, Frank Worsley, and spent a fortune collecting artifacts from their epic treks across the continent. He modeled his military command on Shackleton's legendary skills and was determined to measure his own powers of endurance against them. He would succeed where Shackleton had failed, in the most brutal landscape in the world. In 2008, Worsley set out across Antarctica with two other descendants of Shackleton's crew, battling the freezing, desolate landscape, life-threatening physical exhaustion, and hidden crevasses. Yet when he returned home he felt compelled to go back. On November 13, 2015, at age 55, Worsley bid farewell to his family and embarked on his most perilous quest: to walk across Antarctica alone. David Grann tells Worsley's remarkable story with the intensity and power that have led him to be called "simply the best narrative nonfiction writer working today." Illustrated with more than fifty stunning photographs from Worsley's and Shackleton's journeys, The White Darkness is both a gorgeous keepsake volume and a spellbinding story of courage, love, and a man pushing himself to the extremes of human capacity. Look for David Grann’s latest bestselling book, The Wager!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The guard at the city gates does not attempt to stop the stranger entering Nuthollia, for his job is to keep people inside the city and no person would enter the city voluntarily unless he were an agent of Grimlindus. Nuthollia, the capital of Neuthonia, is no longer a trading metropolis. Its remaining inhabitants are usually hiding indoors, trying to escape Grimlindus's violent soldiersthe tall blond northerners, bandit warriors and Knights of Destruction, as well as goblins, hobgoblins, kobolds and ogres from further east on the steppes. While contact with these soldiers is dangerous and unpredictable, the soldiers do keep the city's economy moving, the trade continuing. So Nuthollia's inhabitants, the original Neuthonics as well as countless released prisoners-of-war, attempt to earn a meagre living in fear and dread. The stranger is rnwulf, the tall barbarian who had been learning sword-skills in the cold hills of the Borderlands. He is dressed in heavy furs. His long, straight, black hair is tied back by a broad cloth that completely conceals his forehead and from which hangs three beaded feathers. His heavy broadsword is strapped to his back, partially buried within his fur coat, while a number of knives are strapped to his chest and belt. A two-headed tomahawk hangs from his belt. He is accompanied by Caleb, the huge wolf that is as large as a small pony and which has a thick mane of grey fur. Man and wolf survey the cold, snow-covered streets, looking beyond the unhappy houses to the dark palace standing on a hill near the centre of the city. They turn away from it and head into one of the darker and less inviting neighbourhoods, where even Grimlindus's soldiers would think twice before entering. The houses are closer together than elsewhere; the streets disappear into narrow alleyways and blind corners. Open doorways and boarded windows show that many of the residences are empty of normal occupation. However, a quick survey inside would reveal hiding squatters, ruffians, thieves and muggers. The man and wolf stop in front of a building that is deep within this neighbourhood. This building is similar to all the others, dismal and grey. It has a heavy steel door with a small window at face height, covered by a shutter. The man thumps on the door and the shutter is pulled back, revealing two dark, slanted eyes. "What do you want?" says the bouncer. "Where are your mistresses?" asks rnwulf, with a heavy, northern accent. "They are busy. Who wants to know?" "I was sent by Cleosius the warlord, to purchase something which was stolen from him. They are expecting me." The shutter is slid shut and rnwulf hears muted discussions behind it. The shutter slides open again. "You are early!" snaps the voice and the shutter slams closed. rnwulf thumps on the door again, his blows echoing inside. The shutter is pulled back again. "Can I wait inside?" he asks. The door opens, revealing a seven-and-a-half foot monstrosity, which bends over inside the small front room; its hairy frame fills up the doorway. Bugbear! thinks rnwulf, staring at the hairy giant-goblin, which would tower over one of its smaller goblin or hobgoblin cousins. "Come inside," it snarls, "but the wolf stays out there." After re-locking the door, the bugbear leads rnwulf along a dimly lit corridor, before arriving at a small room, furnished only with a hard-backed chair. "The mistresses are busy, the bugbear growls, but I will send someone to fetch them when they are, um, finished. Would you like a drink while you are waiting?" rnwulf waves the bugbear away and sits on the chair. In a moment, he becomes completely motionless, his keen eyes surveying every inch of the room. He waits, becoming tenser as he looks at the low ceiling and the walls. After a short time he stands up, goes to the door and tries the handle, finding it locked. H

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *The Power of Broken Crowns: Shadows of Destiny* continues the enthralling journey into Eldoria, a kingdom where peace has turned uneasy, and shadows loom at the edges of a hard-won peace. Princess Elara returns to a kingdom restored yet scarred, haunted by whispers of dark forces that threaten to unravel the stability she fought so hard to secure. While her courage once reforged the mystical Crown and united the people, she now faces a new kind of struggle—one against unseen forces lurking in the shadows, testing her loyalty, and questioning her own heart's resilience. As she tries to settle back into her duties, Elara senses a change, both within herself and in the world around her. Signs of unrest emerge—failing crops, strange storms, and rumors of shadowy figures. Her father, King Arion, grows increasingly concerned, even as he urges her to remain vigilant. Yet Elara’s greatest worries come from within her closest circle. Her childhood friend, Lady Seraphina, has grown distant, driven by her own longing for recognition and power. Tempted by an enigmatic figure known as the High Priest of Shadows, Seraphina begins to dabble in dark magic, setting her on a path that could threaten not only her friendship with Elara but also the kingdom itself. The stakes rise when Prince Kaelan, a longtime ally, returns to Eldoria. But he, too, falls under the spell of Seraphina’s newfound allure, drawn to the dark power she wields with growing confidence. As alliances begin to fracture, Elara’s once-solid friendships become entangled in webs of jealousy, ambition, and betrayal. Kaelan and Seraphina’s choices pull them further from the light and deeper into the grip of shadow, forcing Elara into a battle not only for her kingdom but also for the souls of those she holds dear. In *Shadows of Destiny*, Elara faces her darkest hour yet, as the ancient forces of Eldoria awaken to test her resolve, her friendships, and her role as the kingdom’s protector. The High Priest of Shadows sets a final plan into motion, casting spells that unleash a horde of shadowy creatures upon the kingdom. Armed with the mystical Crown and her newfound self-assurance, Elara must confront the true nature of power and darkness. She realizes that she must not only combat the shadow forces but also reconcile the darkness within herself and her friends if she is to save Eldoria from a threat that seems as boundless as the night. This gripping second installment in *The Power of Broken Crowns* series delves into themes of ambition, the seductive allure of power, and the lengths to which one will go to protect those they love. As Elara’s journey deepens, readers will be left wondering: Can light truly conquer darkness, or must one embrace the shadows to harness true strength? *Shadows of Destiny* offers a spellbinding tale that promises to captivate readers with its rich world-building, intricate character dynamics, and timeless exploration of destiny and choice.

Download or read book Tears in the Darkness written by Michael Norman and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2009-06-09 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tears in the Darkness is an altogether new look at World War II that exposes the myths of war and shows the extent of suffering and loss on both sides. For the first four months of 1942, U.S., Filipino, and Japanese soldiers fought what was America's first major land battle of World War II, the battle for the tiny Philippine peninsula of Bataan. It ended with the surrender of 76,000 Filipinos and Americans, the single largest defeat in American military history. The defeat, though, was only the beginning, as Michael and Elizabeth M. Norman make dramatically clear in this powerfully original book. From then until the Japanese surrendered in August 1945, the prisoners of war suffered an ordeal of unparalleled cruelty and savagery: forty-one months of captivity, starvation rations, dehydration, hard labor, deadly disease, and torture—far from the machinations of General Douglas MacArthur. The Normans bring to the story remarkable feats of reportage and literary empathy. Their protagonist, Ben Steele, is a figure out of Hemingway: a young cowboy turned sketch artist from Montana who joined the army to see the world. Juxtaposed against Steele's story and the sobering tale of the Death March and its aftermath is the story of a number of Japanese soldiers.

When a young girl is found dead in Seryong Lake, a reservoir in a remote South Korean village, the police immediately begin their investigation. At the same time, three men--Yongje, the girl's father, and two security guards at the nearby dam, each of whom has something to hide about the night of her death--find themselves in an elaborate game of cat and mouse as they race to uncover what happened to her, without revealing their own closely guarded secrets. After a final showdown at the dam results in a mass tragedy, one of the guards is convicted of murder and sent to prison. For seven years, his son, Sowon, lives in the shadow of his father's shocking and inexplicable crime; everywhere he goes, a seemingly concerted effort to reveal his identity as the reviled mass murderer's son follows him.
