DOWNLOAD EBOOKWords have escaped us to sufficiently describe the excruciating pain and misery that will soon occur to the human population on earth. All will be tormented with this plague except a relatively small number of people. If we could shock you, if we could scare you, or whatever else we could do in these writings, we would do it to convince you to be among the few that will be protected from this great worldwide plague. It will be horrible and it will last for five months. Babies, young children, teenagers, young adults, middle-aged adults, and senior citizens will be afflicted with this great plague. It will happen when the fifth angel of the Book of Revelations blows his trumpet. Only the pains and sufferings of hell itself can surpass the pains and sufferings during this time. And just as those that are in hell, death will not be a possibility for escape. We beg you to please do what we tell you in this book to be protected from this great plague.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSoon to be a Netflix series starring Octavia Spencer, On Her Own Ground is the first full-scale biography of “one of the great success stories of American history” (The Philadelphia Inquirer), Madam C.J. Walker—the legendary African American entrepreneur and philanthropist—by her great-great-granddaughter, A’Lelia Bundles. The daughter of formerly enslaved parents, Sarah Breedlove—who would become known as Madam C. J. Walker—was orphaned at seven, married at fourteen, and widowed at twenty. She spent the better part of the next two decades laboring as a washerwoman for $1.50 a week. Then—with the discovery of a revolutionary hair care formula for black women—everything changed. By her death in 1919, Walker managed to overcome astonishing odds: building a storied beauty empire from the ground up, amassing wealth unprecedented among black women, and devoting her life to philanthropy and social activism. Along the way, she formed friendships with great early-twentieth-century political figures such as Ida B. Wells, Mary McLeod Bethune, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Booker T. Washington.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe story of this Midwestern state and its people, past and present: “An entertaining and fast read.” ―Indianapolis Star Who are the people called Hoosiers? What are their stories? Two centuries ago, on the Indiana frontier, they were settlers who created a way of life they passed to later generations. They came to value individual freedom and distrusted government, even as they demanded that government remove Indians, sell them land, and bring democracy. Down to the present, Hoosiers have remained wary of government power and have taken care to guard their tax dollars and their personal independence. Yet the people of Indiana have always accommodated change, exchanging log cabins and spinning wheels for railroads, cities, and factories in the nineteenth century, automobiles, suburbs, and foreign investment in the twentieth. The present has brought new issues and challenges, as Indiana’s citizens respond to a rapidly changing world. James H. Madison’s sparkling new history tells the stories of these Hoosiers, offering an invigorating view of one of America’s distinctive states and the long and fascinating journey of its people.
