DOWNLOAD EBOOKTommy Newberry's message is simple, relevant, powerful, and timeless. In this New York Times bestseller, Newberry takes a single biblical principle and teaches us how one simple truth can magnify the joy we experience in our marriage, with our parenting, and in our life as a whole. Unfortunately, we live in a society bent on nursing old wounds and highlighting what is wrong with just about everything. As a result, we have grown accustomed to viewing the world, our lives, and ourselves through a lens of negativity—and that negativity stands in direct contrast to the passionate, purpose-filled people God wants us to be. This is where The 4:8 Principle grabs our attention. First, the author skillfully persuades us to acknowledge the link between the thoughts we choose to think and the joy we experience. Next, he shows us how we can grow our potential for joy by refusing to dwell upon the problems and pressures that are enduring and inevitable. Finally, he challenges us to pay the price of joy by becoming “extraordinarily picky” about what we read, watch, and listen to on a consistent basis. The strength of the book, though, is in Newberry's ability to clearly explain how to put this principle into daily practice through a series of quick, easy and even fun adjustments. The 4:8 Principle is loaded with specific suggestions and helpful advice for going beyond the ordinary and experiencing life as it was meant to be.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTwo founding fathers of American industry. One desire to dominate business at any price. “Masterful . . . Standiford has a way of making the 1890s resonate with a twenty-first-century audience.”—USA Today “The narrative is as absorbing as that of any good novel—and as difficult to put down.”—Miami Herald The author of Last Train to Paradise tells the riveting story of Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, and the bloody steelworkers’ strike that transformed their fabled partnership into a furious rivalry. Set against the backdrop of the Gilded Age, Meet You in Hell captures the majesty and danger of steel manufacturing, the rough-and-tumble of the business world, and the fraught relationship between “the world’s richest man” and the ruthless coke magnate to whom he entrusted his companies. The result is an extraordinary work of popular history. Praise for Meet You in Hell “To the list of the signal relationships of American history . . . we can add one more: Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick . . . The tale is deftly set out by Les Standiford.”—Wall Street Journal “Standiford tells the story with the skills of a novelist . . . a colloquial style that is mindful of William Manchester’s great The Glory and the Dream.”—Pittsburgh Tribune-Review “A muscular, enthralling read that takes you back to a time when two titans of industry clashed in a battle of wills and egos that had seismic ramifications not only for themselves but for anyone living in the United States, then and now.”—Dennis Lehane, author of Mystic River

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book is perhaps one of the most misunderstood works of Catholic theology of our time. Critics contend that von Balthasar espouses universalism, the idea that all men will certainly be saved. Yet, as von Balthasar insists, damnation is a real possibility for anyone. Indeed, he explores the nature of damnation with sobering clarity. At the same time, he contends that a deep understanding of God’s merciful love and human freedom, and a careful reading of the Catholic tradition, point to the possibility—not the certainty—that, in the end, all men will accept the salvation Christ won for all. For this all-embracing salvation, von Balthasar says, we may dare hope, we must pray and with God’s help we must work. The Catholic Church’s teaching on hell has been generally neglected by theologians, with the notable exception of von Balthasar. He grounds his reflections clearly in Sacred Scripture and Catholic teaching. While the Church asserts that certain individuals are in heaven (the saints), she never declares a specific individual to be in hell. In fact, the Church hopes that in their final moments of life, even the greatest sinners would have repented of their terrible sins, and be saved. Sacred Scripture states, “God ... desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all” (1 Tim 2:4–5).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRobert Penn Warren's 1946 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel All the King's Men is one of the undisputed classics of American literature. Fifty years after the novel's publication, Warren's characters still stand as powerful representations of the moral dilemmas faced by individuals in positions of power. All the King's Men had its genesis in Warren's stage play Proud Flesh, unpublished in his lifetime. He also wrote a subsequent unpublished play titled Willie Stark: His Rise and Fall and a later dramatic version of the novel that shared the title All the King's Men. This volume is the first to collect all three dramatic texts and to publish Proud Flesh and Willie Stark. Proud Flesh is particularly fascinating for what it reveals about the development of All the King's Men and Warren's changing perceptions of its characters and themes. The other plays, as post-novel writings, provide a forum for Warren to clarify his intentions in the novel. The editors' introduction to this collection reviews the composition history of the works and their relationship to the novel and to each other. The new perspectives on Warren's writing presented in Robert Penn Warren's "All the King's Men": Three Stage Versions provide a glimpse into a creative mind struggling with a compelling story and offer readers another way of looking at this American classic. This book is an essential reference in Warren studies that will give students of All the King's Men another context from which to consider Warren's novel.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis bundle includes the fourth, fifth and sixth books in the Hellscourge series. Hell Bent: Violet already has the weight of the world on her shoulders, but a new enemy rises to test her. This time, it isn’t a demon or one of the creatures from hell who will get in her way. Instead, it is a challenger for Zach’s affections. Thanks to her rival, she will encounter someone who she hoped she’d never see again. At the mercy of an enemy who she’d humiliated so badly in the past, not even her guardian angel will be able to save her this time. She’ll have to find a way out of her newest predicament herself. Determined to discover where the stolen angels’ grace has been taken, Violet will learn some painful truths that will haunt her. She will also discover that she has some unexpected allies when she returns to hell. The longer she spends in the underworld, the more danger she faces. Her transformation after being attacked by the Wraith Warrior is worsening by the day. She is in a race that will either see her dead, or turn into something from her worst nightmares. Hell To Pay: Violet has to face many trials during her mission to stop the apocalypse from wiping out mankind, but her personal life is almost as complicated. The rivalry between her and Candice Weller is increasing in intensity. She won’t be able to resist taking revenge on the girl who is trying to steal Zach away from her. Detective Reynolds seems to be the only cop in Manhattan who doesn’t have a vendetta against Violet. She has told him that a war is raging between angels and demons, but he won’t believe her until he sees the irrefutable proof for himself. The angels who started out as Violet’s allies are planning something and whatever it is isn’t going to be pleasant. Hagith and Orifiel are determined to bend her to their will and they don’t care about the cost that comes with their interference. The end result will strain Nathan’s trust in her and she might not be able to regain it again. Hell Freezes Over: Slowly dying from the Wraith Warrior’s toxin, Violet must resort to drastic measures to stay alive so she can continue her missions to hell. She will need to go against all of her instincts and trust someone who hates her in order for her health to be partially restored. Detective Reynolds requests the assistance of Violet and her angelic friends. He was put in her path for a reason, but she doesn’t know what it is yet. She suspects that he will somehow aid her in her war against demonkind, so she will do whatever she can to keep him on her side. Using a newly discovered skill, she finally manages to complete one of the tasks that she had been planning on for quite some time. She also discovers who has been whittling down the demons in the city. Their plan is dangerous to her and her friends and she isn’t sure if she will be able to put a stop to it.
