DOWNLOAD EBOOKThere is an erroneous doctrine that is the result of misinterpretation and contextual errors that is gaining momentum in religious organizations. The use of a peculiar verbiage that changes the narrative of the word of God is being taught from palatial mega churches to small storefront edifices. The teaching of generational curses conveys the false message that born-again, Spirit-led believers in Jesus Christ can be the recipient of generational curses. In these volatile, uncertain times, believers are being sold "biblical" snake oil as an answer to why they are unable to overcome a multiplicity of failures in their lives. Because of the lack of dedicated personal study of the scriptures, believers are gravitating to a teaching that has changed the narrative of what Jesus Christ taught in the gospels. This book is the journey of an angry, rebellious teen who was indoctrinated by his mother into believing he was generationally cursed. His life was in the fast lane of a highway heading in the wrong direction toward eternal destruction. However, Jesus Christ intervened, guided him to an exit, and led him to the heaven-bound highway. He transitioned from an incarcerated prisoner of sin to a liberated prosecutor of generational curses. In a unique, creative exposition, Elder Richard Avery examines how from the beginning Satan uses the tactic of changing the narrative of God's word to confuses believers and corrupt their belief in the word of God. With the use of contextual accuracy, he prosecutes the "cursed" words from the Bible that are being used to imprison those "whom the Son has set free."

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“A beautiful book… an instant classic of the genre.” —Dwight Garner, New York Times • A New York Times Critics’ Top Book of 2021 • A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice • Named a Best Nonfiction Book of 2021 by Kirkus • Winner of the 2021 National Jewish Book Award in Autobiography & Memoir • Winner of the New England Society Book Award in Nonfiction MIT psychologist and bestselling author of Reclaiming Conversation and Alone Together, Sherry Turkle's intimate memoir of love and work For decades, Sherry Turkle has shown how we remake ourselves in the mirror of our machines. Here, she illuminates our present search for authentic connection in a time of uncharted challenges. Turkle has spent a career composing an intimate ethnography of our digital world; now, marked by insight, humility, and compassion, we have her own. In this vivid and poignant narrative, Turkle ties together her coming-of-age and her pathbreaking research on technology, empathy, and ethics. Growing up in postwar Brooklyn,Turkle searched for clues to her identity in a house filled with mysteries. She mastered the codes that governed her mother's secretive life. She learned never to ask about her absent scientist father--and never to use his name, her name. Before empathy became a way to find connection, it was her strategy for survival. Turkle's intellect and curiosity brought her to worlds on the threshold of change. She learned friendship at a Harvard-Radcliffe on the cusp of coeducation during the antiwar movement, she mourned the loss of her mother in Paris as students returned from the 1968 barricades, and she followed her ambition while fighting for her place as a woman and a humanist at MIT. There, Turkle found turbulent love and chronicled the wonders of the new computer culture, even as she warned of its threat to our most essential human connections. The Empathy Diaries captures all this in rich detail--and offers a master class in finding meaning through a life's work.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe tragic irony of America's military adventure in Viet Nam lies in the fact that the two countires were fighting different wars. The Americans were fighting to sever the head of a communist monster they saw as intent on world domination and enslavement to the State. The Vietnamese, in contrast, were fighting to reclaim their right to self-determination and self-rule — a war of independence. "Late Blossom" is a moving true story set during the Viet Nam War about how ordinary people cope with extraordinary circumstances, and how a few, in spite of unimaginable horror and constant fear, somehow manage to reach deep within themselves and survive the despair and dark of night to embrace the hope and light of day. In these pages we are taken into a world where personal insecurity, sudden ruin and the real possibility of torture and violent death are as perfunctorily taken for granted as tomorrow's sunrise. We are introduced to a cast of real-life characters caught up in and struggling against the sweeping tides of history. And through the eyes of a most remarkable woman, we come to better understand a most remarkable people and their long fight for freedom. "Late Blossom" is, quite simply, a beautifully told story of life, loss and love in a war-torn Viet Nam.
