Framed around the author's experience of spiritual warfare, Silence Satan introduces readers to the two warring plans for their lives: Satan's (who kills, steals, and destroys) and God's (who gives abundant life). It then reveals the various ways Satan tries to silence and destroy this generation with wounds, accusations, lies, and deceit and how to stand strong against them.
Karim Z. Henry is a decorated police officer for the District of Columbia, where he serves the citizens of the 7th Ward (southeast quadrant). Karim has been recognized by his department with several Letters of commendation and awards, such as Officer of the Month; and most recently, he received the Ribbon of Valor for his bravery on the steps of the US Capitol during the historic January 6th 2021 insurrection. He is most known by the community as the president/founder of No Guns and Butter, Bread and Bibles Inc., also known as NGTripleB. NGTripleB is a faith-based organization that serves the community by providing "Bags of Love" to its people. A "Bag of Love" contains nonperishable snacks, toiletries, hygiene products, books and other spiritually edifying literature, which includes The Holy Bible. In addition to tracking down homicide suspects and apprehending men and women with guns, Officer Henry is a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and is beloved for his poise and charismatic approach in dealing with citizens during their most stressful times. When not working, Officer Henry is most known for hitting high-crime street corners and impoverished areas with his bullhorn and Bible, proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ. After grappling with the poverty and high crime rate in the community, Karim received revelation regarding the reason for these issues. Karim believes most crimes occur because one is seeking provision, and the reason for poverty is the lack of knowledge of one's true identity in Christ. Karim realized this battle first begins with thoughts; making "the mind" the battlefield. Karim's revelation birthed the book, Shut Up Devil, written to combat these negative thoughts with Truth, which is the Word of God.

This book was written from the sermons of Apostle Jerry Makananisa. His sermons and preaching are powerful and inspiring and inspired me to put them in writing to share with the whole world the grace that is upon his life and ministry. When you come to Charis Church, the book of Acts comes alive by signs, wonders, and miracles. All manner of diseases and broken bodies are being healed. The anointing is too much; many people receive prophecy, healing, and deliverance. Apostle Jerry Makananisa also plants churches all over the world and has given impartation to pastors from other denominations. He feeds the poor and hungry, and he is one of the great God's generals. He was raised by God for the times such as these and many people are coming from all over the world to hear a word from God. Apostle Makananisa is a great Father of a great family. His wife, Prophetess Eunice Makananisa, is a great worshipper.
A respected journalist describes the abuse he suffered at the hands of a close family relative, the effect this had on his formative years and how he overcame the anger and self-doubt it left behind.
Shut Up, I'm Talking is a smart, hilarious insider take on Israeli politics that reads like the bastard child of Thomas Friedman and David Sedaris. Now a political writer for Salon, Gregory Levey stumbled into a job as speechwriter for the Israeli delegation to the United Nations at age twenty-five and suddenly found himself, like a latter-day Zelig, in the company of foreign ministers, U.S. senators, and heads of state. Much to his surprise, he was soon attending U.N. sessions and drafting official government statements. The situation got stranger still when he was transferred to Jerusalem to write speeches for Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Shut Up, I'm Talking is a startling account of Levey's journey into the nerve center of Middle Eastern politics at one of the most turbulent times in Israeli history. During his three years in the Israeli government, the Second Intifada continued on in fits and starts, Yasser Arafat died, Hamas came to power, and Ariel Sharon fell into a coma. Levey was repeatedly thrust into highly improbable situations -- from being the sole "Israeli" delegate (even though he's Canadian) at the U.N. General Assembly, with no idea how "his" country wanted to vote; to nearly inciting an international incident with his high school French translation of an Arab diplomat's anti-Israel remarks; to communicating with Israeli intelligence about the suspected perpetrators of suicide bombings; to being offered leftover salami from Ariel Sharon's lunch. As Levey got better acquainted with the personalities in the government's inner sanctum, he witnessed firsthand the improvisational and ridiculously casual nature of the country's behind-the-scenes leadership -- and realized that he wasn't the only one faking his way through politics. With sharp insight and great appreciation for the absurd, Levey offers the first-ever look inside Israel's politics from the perspective of a complete outsider, ultimately concluding that the Israeli government is no place for a nice Jewish boy.
A memoir by the heavy metal icon and reality television star shares perspectives on his rise, fall and return as the frontman for the rock band, Twisted Sister.
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A New York Times Editor’s Choice | A Kirkus Best Nonfiction Book of the Year The Inspiration for the HBO Original Documentary South to Black Power From journalist and New York Times bestselling author Charles Blow comes a powerful manifesto and call to action, "a must-read in the effort to dismantle deep-seated poisons of systemic racism and white supremacy" (San Francisco Chronicle). Race, as we have come to understand it, is a fiction; but, racism, as we have come to live it, is a fact. The point here is not to impose a new racial hierarchy, but to remove an existing one. After centuries of waiting for white majorities to overturn white supremacy, it seems to me that it has fallen to Black people to do it themselves. Acclaimed columnist and author Charles Blow never wanted to write a “race book.” But as violence against Black people—both physical and psychological—seemed only to increase in recent years, culminating in the historic pandemic and protests of the summer of 2020, he felt compelled to write a new story for Black Americans. He envisioned a succinct, counterintuitive, and impassioned corrective to the myths that have for too long governed our thinking about race and geography in America. Drawing on both political observations and personal experience as a Black son of the South, Charles set out to offer a call to action by which Black people can finally achieve equality, on their own terms. So what will it take to make lasting change when small steps have so frequently failed? It’s going to take an unprecedented shift in power. The Devil You Know is a groundbreaking manifesto, proposing nothing short of the most audacious power play by Black people in the history of this country. This book is a grand exhortation to generations of a people, offering a road map to true and lasting freedom.
