Download or read book Dying to Tell the Truth written by Jared Bradley and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-09-03 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a story about my life as a Christian and my struggle in loving my neighbor as myself. It is based on a true story about friends, family, and the people who made a difference in my life. It explains how hard it was for me growing up as a Christian and how challenging it was for a young person like me to share my faith with unbelievers. Even as a Christian, I didnt understand how to fight temptation or depend on Gods grace to survive. Rather, I was very distant from God and became very depressed because I was not willing to surrender everything in order to follow him. Through prayer, I learned that my friends were the ones God used to pull me out of my depression. My closest friend was always there for me even when life was hard for both of us. The important lesson to be learned behind this story is to forgive your neighbor and God will forgive you.
Download or read book Grand Thieves Tomb Raiders written by Rebecca Levene and published by Aurum. This book was released on 2012-11-08 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gaming: it’s the greatest British invasion of them all. Lara Croft is an international icon and the British-born Grand Theft Auto and its spin-offs have sold more than 100 million copies worldwide. The UK’s games industry is now bigger than either its cinema or its music. Yet the medium’s birth in Thatcher’s Britain was almost accidental. While politicians championed computers like the BBC Micro and the ZX Spectrum as engines of learning, it was left to a grassroots culture of amateur programmers to unlock their true potential. And from bedrooms and classrooms across the country, a brilliant profusion of innovative and idiosyncratic games soon emerged – propelling their young creators to fame, riches and, eventually, a place on the world stage. This is the story of those teenage coders – tracing their journey from the first home computers to the age of the smartphone. A mix of oddball characters, programming miracles and moral panics, Grand Thieves & Tomb Raiders reveals how the unique history of British computing led to some of the greatest games of all time.

He arrives in Arizona where he dreams of starting a ranch and living the remainder of his life in peace--but fate has other plans. Sam rides straight into a world of Apache ambushes, corrupt officials, and masked riders. He has no choice but to resort to his fast gun to stay alive and ultimately finds himself suspected of murder yet again. Even worse, he soon runs into someone from his past, and their meeting changes things.

Download or read book German Commerce Raiders 1914 18 written by Ryan K. Noppen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-20 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of Germany's commerce raiders of World War I, the surface ships that were supposed to starve the British Isles of the vast cargoes of vital resources being shipped from the furthest reaches of the Empire. To that end pre-war German naval strategists allocated a number of cruisers and armed, fast ocean liners, as well as a complex and globe-spanning supply network to support them – known as the Etappe network. This book, drawing on technical illustrations and the author's exhaustive research, explains the often overlooked role that the commerce raiders played in World War I. Whilst exploring the design and development of the ships, it also describes their operational history, how they tied up a disproportionate amount of the British fleet on lengthy pursuits, and how certain raiders such as the SMS Emden were able to wreak havoc across the oceans.

Download or read book True Raiders written by Brad Ricca and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: True Raiders is The Lost City of Z meets The Da Vinci Code, from critically acclaimed author Brad Ricca. This book tells the untold true story of Monty Parker, a British rogue nobleman who, after being dared to do so by Ava Astor, the so-called “most beautiful woman in the world,” headed a secret 1909 expedition to find the fabled Ark of the Covenant. Like a real-life version of Raiders of the Lost Ark, this incredible story of adventure and mystery has almost been completely forgotten today. In 1908, Monty is approached by a strange Finnish scholar named Valter Juvelius who claims to have discovered a secret code in the Bible that reveals the location of the Ark. Monty assembles a ragtag group of blueblood adventurers, a renowned psychic, and a Franciscan father, to engage in a secret excavation just outside the city walls of Jerusalem. Using recently uncovered records from the original expedition and several newly translated sources, True Raiders is the first retelling of this group’s adventures– in the space between fact and faith, science and romance.
