DOWNLOAD EBOOK"In the age of fake news, understanding who we trust and why is essential in explaining everything from leadership to power to our daily relationships." -Sinan Aral We live in a world where proven facts and verifiable data are freely and widely available. Why, then, are self-confident ignoramuses so often believed over thoughtful experts? And why do seemingly irrelevant details such as a person's appearance or financial status influence whether or not we trust what they are saying, regardless of their wisdom or foolishness? Stephen Martin and Joseph Marks compellingly explain how in our uncertain and ambiguous world, the messenger is increasingly the message. We frequently fail, they argue, to separate the idea being communicated from the person conveying it, explaining why the status or connectedness of the messenger has become more important than the message itself. Messengers influence business, politics, local communities, and our broader society. And Martin and Marks reveal the forces behind the most infuriating phenomena of our modern era, such as belief in fake news and how presidents can hawk misinformation and flagrant lies yet remain.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the dazzling conclusion to the Greystone Secrets series from New York Times bestselling author Margaret Peterson Haddix, the Greystones and their doubles, the Gustanos, must team up to save the alternate world—before both worlds are lost. All secrets are revealed in this page-turning, suspenseful story that shows the importance of teamwork, telling your story, and taking action when it matters most. As book three of the Greystone Secrets series opens, the Greystone kids have their mother back from the evil alternate world, and so does their friend Natalie. But no one believes the danger is past. Then mysterious coins begin falling from unexpected places. They are inscribed with codes that look just like what the Greystones’ father was working on before he died. And with the right touch, those symbols transform into words: PLEASE LISTEN. And FIND US, SEE US, HELP US. . . . The coins are messengers, telling the Greystones and their allies that their friends in the alternate world are under attack—and that the cruel, mind-controlling forces are now invading the better world, too. After another spinning, sliding journey across worlds, the Greystone kids must solve mysteries that have haunted them since the beginning: what happened when the Gustanos were kidnapped, what created the alternate world, and how a group of mismatched kids can triumph once and for all against an evil force that seems to have total control.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKReview If The Messengers were fiction, it still would be an outstanding story for the emotions it will generate, for its overwhelming inspiration, and for the wisdom and love contained within its pages. The Messengers is not fiction. This story is true. For that reason it is one of the most extraordinary chronicles written during the 20th century. The message in The Messengers is the gateway into our next millennium. This book is dedicated to those who were unknowingly involved in the angelic plan to bring this book forward. To them we give our thanks for their fortitude and trust. Why did angels continually confront a prominent, successful businessman, especially one who did not believe in angels? This is the true story of a man, who concerned over ridicule and disbelief by others, was unwilling to reveal he once walked with the Master (Jesus) in a past lifetime. But those messengers of God, angels, would not accept his hesitancy, and along with fourteen witnesses to the angelic events, inspired him to step forward and share this extraordinary story. From the Publisher Nick Bunick was confronted by angels. It will change your life forever... Prominent and successful Portland, Oregon, businessman Nick Bunick never considered himself a particularly religious person. But he knew in his heart that he had experienced something extraordinary in a past life. Anxious to share it, but convinced that his story would seem unbelievable to most people, he kept it to himself. Then, two years ago, angels intervened. Nick came to understand that angels were prevailing upon him to tell his story -- a story that began 2,000 years ago when he lived as Paul the Apostle, and walked alongside Jesus. An inspiring chronicle of the angelic visitations that led Nick to finally share his memories, The Messengers also illuminates the events of his life as Paul. Rich with the wisdom and awe borne of Nick's incredible encounter with Jesus, this magnificent book was a New York Times best seller in 1997, and now, in five new chapters, Nick shares his views with you fourteen years later.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDuring my many searches for knowledge and information, I have not discovered anything anywhere to contradict my findings in respect to the fact that ignorance, and all of its sources, are the main culprits for the propagation of ignorance, without which, the world would be a far better place. Imagine having at your disposal, the ability to correct many of the wrongs within society. This actually is the case if you are capable of recognising such facts. I regret deeply the fact that it is necessary to omit many pieces of information.
