What Did We Do to Deserve This Crazy Thing Called Life (Hardcover): Brian D. Davis What Did We Do to Deserve This Crazy Thing Called Life (Hardcover)
Brian D. Davis
R576 Discovery Miles 5 760 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

"This Crazy Thing Called Life" is a book that makes witty and satirical comments about the journey we're all on, the journey we call life. Through his observations of human nature, and the human condition the author has formed his own unique perspective and has made comments, regarding those matters that most effects our lives, focusing on love, marriage, money, politics, education, religion, and life in general. At the same time he continually makes the point that we are all responsible for our own lives and that we can make it what ever we want. With comments, quotes, paraphrases, as well as pictures, the writer drives home his observations much in the style of Andy Rooney, and Art Buchwald. "This CrazyThing Called Life" entertains with humorous comments and pictures, but all the while it provokes thought about a multitude of subjects that we all experience on the roller coaster ride of life.

There are some stories that should never be kept away from the rest of the world because there is a need for the rest of the world to know that things are not always the way we think they are or the manner in which we imagine them sometimes. And the story about The Generation That Saw Fire is a unique one to broaden our perspective on the changing world. It gives us information on what others are going through beyond our borders and how appreciative we should be in this world when we find ourselves in societies that offer peace and stability for its people. This book, The Generation That Saw Fire, also inspires us not to let go of our dreams even when we find ourselves in the midst of difficulties because difficulties are the ones that always make our dream a changing one for the rest of the world. So as long we have life, we should learn to endure to the end of our dreams or our visions because there is no success without difficulties.

John Locke as Translator - Three of the Essais of Pierre Nicole in French and English (Hardcover): Jean S. Yolton John Locke as Translator - Three of the Essais of Pierre Nicole in French and English (Hardcover)
Jean S. Yolton
R3,206 Discovery Miles 32 060 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Pierre Nicole was a major figure in the Jansenist controversy in seventeenth-century France. His essays, which were widely read and appeared in various editions during his lifetime, cover a broad range of religious subjects. John Locke first came across Nicole's work during his visit to France in the 1670s, and was so struck by it that he intended to translate all the Essais de morale into English. When he had translated three of them, however he learned that the work had been done already, so he abandoned the project and presented what he had done so far to the countess of Shaftesbury, wife of his patron. Locke's translation, in a neatly written presentation copy, is now housed in the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York. The three essays that he translated - 'Discours (...) de l'existence de Dieu & l'immortalite de l'ame', 'Traite de la faiblesse de l'homme', and 'Traite des moyens de conserver la paix avec les hommes' - deal with topics that he later discusses at length in his own writings: society, morality, toleration and opinion. This volume reproduces the text of Nicole's three essays from an early edition facing Locke's deliberately free and impressionistic rendering into English, a style which he hoped might convey the sense of the author better than a literal translation. The choice of these three essays to translate first, out of the whole of the Essais de morale, and the changes that Locke made to his French original in the course of translation, illuminate our understanding of his thought and of its development.

Manifesto of the Communist Party (Hardcover): Karl Marx, Frederick Engels Manifesto of the Communist Party (Hardcover)
Karl Marx, Frederick Engels 1
R633 Discovery Miles 6 330 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Ironically, The Communist Manifesto, first published in 1848 for the Communist League, had little influence in its own day. Only after Karl Marx and Frederick Engels' other writings had made their views on socialism widely known did it become a standard text. For nearly century it was one of the most widely read - some would argue misread - texts in the world. Manifested in vivid prose, the Manifesto continues to irk the capitalist world, lingering as an eerie specter even after the collapse of those governments, which claimed to be enacting its principles. Certainly, the aim here is not create converts. Instead it is to help readers probe the writing with its distinct point of view, so that we might understand the political and historical significance of the text while still maintaining a stance that allows us to think critically about the subject and form our own opinions.

In an aggregate account, traditional churches collect more than $420 billion in tithes and donations annually. With such an extensive source of incoming wealth, it is unimaginable that the sincere needs of the donating parishioners are left unattended. The growing numbers of mega-churches are consistently ran and operated as businesses by affluent ministers who are treated more like celebrities rather than servants of Christ. They consider their church as their business and they attend to them as Corporate CEO's, leading unsuspecting would-be followers of Christ down an eternal road to spiritual destruction. This book, while destined to be controversial, promises to expose the very things celebrity-like ministers are hiding from thier unsuspecting congregation of followers. It exposes the materialism and greed that has crept its way into the church's pulpit, causing corruption so devastating that God himself has vowed not to dwell therein. It is packed full of truths and exposes an organized institution of unsound principles an immoral values that are being taught in order to keep you addicted to their incognito crack houses that are passing themselves off as churches in the name of Christ. This book should free you from the bondage of modern day church slavery and the witchcraft that many are following and practicing while being totally oblivious to what they are doing. Could it possibly be you? Are you still paying tithes and sewing seeds to get blessings from God? If your answer is yes, you need this truth You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free - but only if you are able to fully digest the truth that lies within the pages of this book.

He was told that his physical limitations would make the study of the martial arts an impossibility... He became a world renowned martial arts master...
He was told that he would not be able to walk past his fortieth year... And still HE STANDS...
Being a "warrior" is not just about "being able to fight well." Being a warrior is all about being willing to fight for the people and the causes you care about. Being a warrior is all about Loving people.
This is a story of the power of Will and the power of LOVE. This is Stoney's message, "We save ourselves by saving the world. We save the world by one kind word, one kind deed, one selfless act... The power of Love holds back the gates of Hell. What is Hell, if not the place where there is no LOVE?
I remember the first thing I ever said about Larry Stone... "That guy doesn't know he is handicapped does he?" That was three decades ago, and I still have not come up with a better summary of this man's life."
Mark Edward Cody
"The spirit that Stoney presents is encouraging and uplifting. His message will inspire individuals to new levels of success and to live life to its fullest."
Robert A. Rohm, Ph D
"I am amazed and deeply impacted by Stoney's remarkable life story. He has risen above his challenging circumstances with honor and with a level of determination that inspires me to do more, be more and live life for the moment. Bravo Stoney "

America has steadily regressed from a Republic under the Sign of the Cross towards a mobacracy under the Sign of the Scorpion. Social responsibility and the ethics of conscience have vacated the Field of Dreams like a Baroid tater -- an "all about me" cult of celebrity has evolved. Reclaiming the Strike Zone traces the metaphorical cleat marks through "forbidden" history. The Inside Baseball version of the Soviet Socialist Paradise and Nazi Germany is pitched "shekel free." Sub-systems of the American superstructure featuring education, entertainment, youth activities and family are explored in-depth. The search for something that has been lost -- the secret of the American Dream and American Exceptionalism -- is pursued. All base paths lead to the Christian Church and Jewish Nation. Wise Christian philosophy has been Billy-Goated off the playing field -- secular humanism has taken The Hill. Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud have taken a turn at-bat and gone long. Red tide has been harnessed into Economic Determinism by the F&F Boys. The hidden ball trick has been pulled on the sheeple. Disciples of General Zod lack American patriotism. Time is of the essence to restore what has been taken -- it's the bottom of the 9th with two away. DO IT AMERICAN and "don't give up the ship" are battle cries. Intellectual Millenials must step up to the plate and reclaim what their baby booming Spock baby parents baptized in Dewey waters booted. Identifying the proton pseudos and resetting is the task. Restoring sub-systems especially education] while playing small ball is the answer. Truth and patriotic leadership are catalysts. A burning desire to be an American -- free and independent -- without getting JFK'd is the secret. There is a happy ending -- it is certain. The Good News delivers that promise.
