Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Odyssey of a Bombardier is the illustrated Prisoner of War “log” that depicts the experiences of bombardier Richard M. Mason in German prison camps after his B-17 “Flying Fortress” was shot down by the Germans in France in 1944, the final year of World War II. The log follows Mason from the day his plane crashed until his liberation in April, 1945, and his return home to the United States. Included are such topics as medical treatment and rehabilitation for wounded prisoners of the Germans, life in Stalag Luft III, a difficult long march in an arctic winter to another camp, the travails of prisoners in the overcrowded, filthy camp at Moosburg, critical food shortages, and the arrival of General George Patton with the liberating forces. Mason was an amateur artist and illustrated his journal with moving depictions of prison life and comradeship. This book shows U.S. airmen demonstrating grace and courage under pressure and meeting every challenge that their imprisonment presented.

Download or read book The Gold Coins written by Sa'lia Friend and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2018-04-12 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gold Coins is based on real event. A few names have been changed. Some of the places have been renamed. Much happened exactly as described. In other cases, I fictionalized some of the details to provide clarity. I also took liberty to fill in the blanks of my brain whenever I forgot some details. It is my hope that you will accept there is more to our existence than what we can see with our physical eyes. We tend to be skeptical about things we do not understand. That is healthy; however, I hope, you also possess a healthy curiosity and vivid imagination. Both are powerful tools that can open up a new world for you to explore. I am blessed to be connected with many people who proudly embrace woo woo-ness. These are every day, ordinary people. Some are wealthy. Some are working class. Some live hand to mouth as the spirit leads them. All live life to the fullest. Likewise, I am connected with religious people Christians, Muslims, Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish. And, then I am connected with those who only believe in the science. Most of the time I only understand a nth of what they are saying but I appreciate that nth because it shows me yet another aspect of the Universe. It is because of the teachers in my life that I was finally able to write this book. I am a woo woo Christian that also believes in science. We only know a small portion of all there is to know and by connecting with each other, accepting each other, loving each other, forgiving each other and supporting each other will we be able to continue to exist as the human race. Be well and enjoy this gift of life!
Download or read book The Prayer Coin written by Elisa Morgan and published by Our Daily Bread Publishing. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take a coin. Toss it in the air. Now call it. Heads? Tails? What if you could choose both sides? Elisa Morgan birthed the "prayer coin" idea as she was struggling in her own prayer life. Should she be blatantly honest about her desires or just leave everything to God and let Him lead? An epiphany came when Elisa noticed how Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane: "Take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done" (Luke 22:42). Jesus Christ begged for relief from the trial He faced, while utterly complying with what He knew the Father's will to be. Honesty and abandon--in the same breath. Elisa discovered that Jesus invites us to both. And the emotional back-and-forth, between full-out honesty and "giving it up" in abandon, actually drew her closer to God. If Jesus--our Savior, Mentor, and Friend--could pray both sides of the prayer coin, could we as well?

Download or read book Flying against Fate written by S. P. MacKenzie and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2017-08-04 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During World War II, Allied casualty rates in the air were high. Of the roughly 125,000 who served as aircrew with Bomber Command, 59,423 were killed or missing and presumed killed—a fatality rate of 45.5%. With odds like that, it would be no surprise if there were as few atheists in cockpits as there were in foxholes; and indeed, many airmen faced their dangerous missions with beliefs and rituals ranging from the traditional to the outlandish. Military historian S. P. MacKenzie considers this phenomenon in Flying against Fate, a pioneering study of the important role that superstition played in combat flier morale among the Allies in World War II. Mining a wealth of documents as well as a trove of published and unpublished memoirs and diaries, MacKenzie examines the myriad forms combat fliers' superstitions assumed, from jinxes to premonitions. Most commonly, airmen carried amulets or talismans—lucky boots or a stuffed toy; a coin whose year numbers added up to thirteen; counterintuitively, a boomerang. Some performed rituals or avoided other acts, e.g., having a photo taken before a flight. Whatever seemed to work was worth sticking with, and a heightened risk often meant an upsurge in superstitious thought and behavior. MacKenzie delves into behavior analysis studies to help explain the psychology behind much of the behavior he documents—not slighting the large cohort of crew members and commanders who demurred. He also looks into the ways in which superstitious behavior was tolerated or even encouraged by those in command who saw it as a means of buttressing morale. The first in-depth exploration of just how varied and deeply felt superstitious beliefs were to tens of thousands of combat fliers, Flying against Fate expands our understanding of a major aspect of the psychology of war in the air and of World War II.

Download or read book God Had Mercy on Me The Life Work of George M ller written by George Müller and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-11-11 with total page 1931 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DigiCat presents to you this meticulously edited George Müller collection. "The word of God alone is our standard of judgment in spiritual things... the Holy Spirit alone can teach us about our state by nature, show us the need of a Saviour, enable us to believe in Christ, explain to us the Scriptures, help us in preaching, etc. The first evening that I shut myself into my room, to give myself to prayer and meditation over the Scriptures, I learned more in a few hours than I had done during a period of several months previously. But the particular difference was, that I received real strength for my soul in doing so." George Müller (1805-1898) was a Christian evangelist and the director of the Ashley Down orphanage in Bristol, England. He cared for 10,024 orphans during his lifetime, and provided educational opportunities for the orphans to the point that he was even accused by some of raising the poor above their natural station in British life. He established 117 schools which offered Christian education to more than 120,000. The theology that guided George Müller's work was shaped by an experience in his middle twenties when he "came to prize the Bible alone as his standard of judgement". Müller wrote frequently about the stewardship of money and the non-reliance on earthly riches, and how God would bless the man who kept to these principles, and felt that laying his own experiences bare would prove the truth of his claims. His personal income, from unsolicited gifts (he refused any kind of salary) rose from £151 in 1831 to more than £2,000 in 1870. However, he retained only around £300 a year for himself and his family, the rest he gave away. Müller's faith in God strengthened day by day and he spent hours in daily prayer and Bible reading.

Download or read book Shar a written by Wael B. Hallaq and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-04-16 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, Islamic law, or Shari'a, has been appropriated as a tool of modernity in the Muslim world and in the West and has become highly politicised in consequence. Wael Hallaq's magisterial overview of Shari'a sets the record straight by examining the doctrines and practices of Islamic law within the context of its history, and by showing how it functioned within pre-modern Islamic societies as a moral imperative. In so doing, Hallaq takes the reader on an epic journey tracing the history of Islamic law from its beginnings in seventh-century Arabia, through its development and transformation under the Ottomans, and across lands as diverse as India, Africa and South-East Asia, to the present. In a remarkably fluent narrative, the author unravels the complexities of his subject to reveal a love and deep knowledge of the law which will inform, engage and challenge the reader.

Book excerpt: Knight Templar Allain de Bures had finally returned home to Jerusalem after his six-and-a-half-year adventurous journey. All he wanted was to rest a bit and have some conversations with old friends. However, as always, fate drew him right into the midst of trouble. When mysterious strangers in strange attire attempted to assassinate the Grand Master, Allain de Bures found himself plunged into an adventure where he would be caught between formidable rivals like Salahaddin Ayyubi, Hasan Sabbah, and other enemies. He thought it would be the kind of adventure where everything stemmed from the usual causes, but this time, things were extremely complicated. Simultaneously, someone had started killing elderly people well-known to Jerusalem and the knights. Allain de Bures was determined to solve the gruesome murders that emerged in the old streets of Jerusalem, under the shadow of the Knights Templar. Alongside him were his silent servant Eric, Charlotte seeking revenge for her father, and Bernard de Sonnac, who had only learned to be a good knight until now. In this complex, dark path, they would all somehow become tainted, and each would have to make sacrifices. For the shadowy road they walked would also determine the fate of brotherhood...
