Book excerpt: In this fascinating and masterful work of research, Gus Russo finally unmasks the hidden secrets that have surrounded the Kennedy assassination for 35 years. It is packed with never-before-seen documents and photographs, and never-before-known information -- the result of tireless research and exhaustive interviews with countless key players in the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations. The question never asked was not WHO killed JFK, but WHY he was killed. And the answer to this question is the reason for over thirty years of government cover-ups. Gus Russo attacks this very question. Guiding the reader through the labyrinth of information and intrigue, he explores the assassination in context, explaining the atmosphere of the times as well as the actions that led, inexorably, to the defining moment of this generation.

Download or read book Living by the Sword written by Kristen Brooke Neuschel and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-15 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sharpen your knowledge of swords with Kristen B. Neuschel as she takes you through a captivating 1,000 years of French and English history. Living by the Sword reveals that warrior culture, with the sword as its ultimate symbol, was deeply rooted in ritual long before the introduction of gunpowder weapons transformed the battlefield. Neuschel argues that objects have agency and that decoding their meaning involves seeing them in motion: bought, sold, exchanged, refurbished, written about, displayed, and used in ceremony. Drawing on evidence about swords (from wills, inventories, records of armories, and treasuries) in the possession of nobles and royalty, she explores the meanings people attached to them from the contexts in which they appeared. These environments included other prestige goods such as tapestries, jewels, and tableware—all used to construct and display status. Living by the Sword draws on an exciting diversity of sources from archaeology, military and social history, literature, and material culture studies to inspire students and educated lay readers (including collectors and reenactors) to stretch the boundaries of what they know as the "war and culture" genre.

Book excerpt: The followup to his beloved debut collection Beauty Was the Case that They Gave Me, Mark Leidner's Returning the Sword to the Stone is simultaneously profound and irreverent, in the same way that the world is flat as we walk and round as we live. "A child surprised that a neon sign / isn't hot the first time they touch one / knows how it feels as an adult to achieve one's goals" states the speaker of "Youth Is A Fugitive" and this sentiment is one of the central precepts of Returning the Sword to the Stone.

Download or read book The Voice of the Seven Thunders written by George Kevyn Weber and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-07-21 with total page 795 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no time for the people of the world to waste to decide to change their ways and their ways of living. The world is in a crisis that it has not been in before. Actually the world has been in countless crises in the past, before disaster, calamity or catastrophe struck the people of the earth. We are not talking of crises of natural disasters, calamities or catastrophes that have hit the earth, we are talking about man made, man engineered and man designed disasters, calamities and catastrophes that have hit the world from time to time. History is full of them and apart from those natural disasters caused by God or the Devil themselves; the rest were caused by man themselves. Now this revelation is not about the natural but about the spiritual. Power mad dictators, rulers and potentates the world over are normally the cause of these disasters, calamities and catastrophes and nature has little to do with them although they did affect nature, in some way or another. Small and great Wars were started by whosoever caused them without any due regard of mens lives, and the resultant horrors, hardships and horrendous pain, lived on in the hearts and lives of the people that survived. No one can add these things up nor can they count the cost in human suffering, misery and pain, nor the cost of mens souls lost all for the sake of mans vanity. "The current synopsis is catchy and intriguing. This synopsis is well written and it will entice readers into picking this book up and reading it." - Cynthia Sherman Writers Literary & Publishing Services, Critique Division

Download or read book The Justus Scrolls written by Paul David Morris and published by Inspiring Voices. This book was released on 2013-03 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rejected by God or called to an uncommon path? The eleven apostles cast lots to determine whom the Holy Spirit would pick to replace Judas Iscariot; he must be someone who had been with Jesus the whole time. That left either Joseph bar Sabbas, called Justus, or Matthias. The stones were cast, and the lot fell to Matthias. Even so, Justus wouldn't be denied his dream. He had mingled among the disciples for more than three years. He had been close to Jesus, held private conversations with him, and had laughed with him. He'd slept around the same campfires, visited the same homes, and eaten at the same tables. Now, Justus would chart a new path. He would reveal everything he knew about his Lord from the viewpoint of a privileged witness. Justus began to write. What was it like to be near Jesus in everyday situations or to see him in action in his greatest moments? Did Jesus have a childhood best friend? How did he relate to his fish-breathed disciples? What did he feel when the crowd cried out for his death? Justus logged all of this in a series of scrolls and began a journey to house the treasure at the great library in Alexandria, Egypt. Perhaps, someday they would be seen.
Download or read book Jacob s Transgression written by Michelle Hobbs and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revelation may be a secret that seems impossible to penetrate, but anything is possible with God's wisdom. God reveals his Word to those whose hearts belong to him. Therefore, eventually leaving no mysteries left unknown. The Word of God will be fulfilled, and his purpose will be achieved. Mankind does have a set time when we will lose the dominion God has given us in this age. Why? We are killing each other and destroying the earth. Immorality is thriving. God's truth is a rarity. Therefore, in the near future, God will initiate the sounding of his trumpets. The first trumpet will begin the countdown for us to make reconciliation with God, at least for anyone who has not. This is accomplished through the blood of Christ. We are the last-days generation. The seals have taken us to the doorstep of the tribulation. Our hope lies in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. His glory is in God's called, chosen, and faithful holy ones. We must seek and return to our Creator.
Download or read book If It Had Not Been For The Lord written by Monica Goolsby and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just when you think that Jesus is not there or just doesn't hear your prayers; he is & he does! Just like was, is, and always will be on my side and there for me. Just when you think he's not watching or doesn't care; he is & does! God Be To Glory! Just when you think that he has let you down or made you frown; he ultimately is not the one, so don't blame God or be mad at him. Behind every cloudy storm that passes in your life, there is a silver lining because the Lord is just that surreal! God is omnipresence, so Greater is he (Jesus) that's in me, than he (Satan) that's in the world! This is the Day that the Lord has made, so let us rejoice and be glad in it. Bless me indeed Lord; Amen and Thank You Father! Let my past failures help you to overcome your tribulations so that you too can receive the blessings that God has waiting for you. As a matter of fact, ask the Lord to help you to be obedient so that his blessings may fall down upon you. Go ahead and walk on through your fears because it's time that you stop letting the devil beat you down; but rather, it's time to beat him back and beat him down forever by taking back everything he has stolen from you, such as your joy, health, hurt, loss, emptiness, loneliness, faith, love etc. You don't have to cry anymore unless it's tears of joy because I can take you to my dearest and nearest friend (Jesus) indeed; you can trust him to be your bridge to safety in any kind of troubling waters. Love-Monica Goolsby

Download or read book The Sword and the Shield written by Peniel E. Joseph and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dual biography of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King upends longstanding preconceptions to transform our understanding of the twentieth century's most iconic African American leaders. To most Americans, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. represent contrasting ideals: self-defense vs. nonviolence, black power vs. civil rights, the sword vs. the shield. The struggle for black freedom is wrought with the same contrasts. While nonviolent direct action is remembered as an unassailable part of American democracy, the movement's militancy is either vilified or erased outright. In The Sword and the Shield, Peniel E. Joseph upends these misconceptions and reveals a nuanced portrait of two men who, despite markedly different backgrounds, inspired and pushed each other throughout their adult lives. This is a strikingly revisionist biography, not only of Malcolm and Martin, but also of the movement and era they came to define.
