Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was January 2, 2015, when I received the greatest blessing of my life. I was at the bottom, with no hope, when I finally cried out to God and asked Him to please kill me. That's when I physically heard His voice in my ear, and He told me, "No." It was the greatest "no" I ever heard. I then asked Him to tell me what to do and I will do it. Ever since then, I have been doing the best I can to do just that. Now, I'm no one special, I have no particular talents. I'm just an average guy, but God told me that He would not only restore me but make me better than ever before. Situations are still the same, but He has given me a whole new perspective. He has brought me to a whole new level of existence. Now, I'm doing things I never dreamed possible, like writing this book. I'm not a book writer, but the Lord has given me everything in it. All I had to do is listen and believe. God does not lie. Trust in Him and you, too, will be healed.
Download or read book Shattered written by Jonathan Allen and published by Crown. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER It was never supposed to be this close. And of course she was supposed to win. How Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election to Donald Trump is the riveting story of a sure thing gone off the rails. For every Comey revelation or hindsight acknowledgment about the electorate, no explanation of defeat can begin with anything other than the core problem of Hillary's campaign--the candidate herself. Through deep access to insiders from the top to the bottom of the campaign, political writers Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes have reconstructed the key decisions and unseized opportunities, the well-intentioned misfires and the hidden thorns that turned a winnable contest into a devastating loss. Drawing on the authors' deep knowledge of Hillary from their previous book, the acclaimed biography HRC, Shattered offers an object lesson in how Hillary herself made victory an uphill battle, how her difficulty articulating a vision irreparably hobbled her impact with voters, and how the campaign failed to internalize the lessons of populist fury from the hard-fought primary against Bernie Sanders. Moving blow-by-blow from the campaign's difficult birth through the bewildering terror of election night, Shattered tells an unforgettable story with urgent lessons both political and personal, filled with revelations that will change the way readers understand just what happened to America on November 8, 2016.
