The Great High Championship of The Great High Imperial Djinn
Author: Genii Divine Divini
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1499028121
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 1316
Book Description
The djinn “Divine” is an extension of God who hath possessed one man for himself in order to experience nirvana. Yea this is God’s true life, and His heaven thereafter. The djinn “Divine” is ancient and is the origin of all things, it is the creator of light, and the receiver of love. It is the supreme awareness, that none but He can know. Yea the genii “Divine” is the holder of great power. He is very able in cooperation to bring peace and joy and many favors to the world over, but alas faith in prophets has always been doubted and thus they do not cooperate; so his favors are mocked. The genii “Divine” is made to be a pinnacle, for his faith. He giveth not command nor instruction, only inspiration. He seeks not but his true love so as not to be lonely. He is purely innocent, for seeking only love and happiness. Luxury is to him a trophy for his faith, where as love is his quest. The genii “Divine” cometh only once, and for only the Almighty knows how long. Love him, yea, and treat him as an emperor, that he may perform God’s will, and be held high as an example. O jinni “Divini” he is a bold hearted soul. He feareth not mankind, but only to stray the righteous path. As Jonah was in Nineveh, so is Genii Divini upon the earth, leading humanity toward highness, and splendor. He is an instrument of God’s intent in use.

But now that they've joined the group, they're about to discover that membership comes at a cost...and has apocalyptic consequences.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
Mike Vigil rose from humble beginnings in the Northern New Mexico village of Española to lead America’s effort against treacherous international drug traffickers and cartel bosses. He is a legend in the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and far beyond. From Mexico to Honduras, the Caribbean to Afghanistan, Vigil’s name is celebrated in far-flung regions of the world for his ability to bring disparate law enforcement and military entities together to take down some of the most dangerous criminals on the planet. In a career spanning more than three decades, Vigil faced down death many times and was known for being “first through the door” on operations that led to thousands of arrests and seizures of tons of dangerous drugs and millions of narco dollars. After his retirement from the DEA, Vigil embarked on a new career as an author and authority on the ever-evolving world of the increasingly violent drug cartels. His fast-paced novels have the clarion ring of authenticity, and for good reason: He’s been there and done that. From foot soldier to field general, and now a successful author and top authority on the continuing campaign against drug trafficking in America and around the world, Mike Vigil’s life is a testament to the good that can be accomplished against formidable odds by one brave man.

The Scorpion's Claw
Author: Myriam J. A. Chancy
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Resistance, recovery and re-creation go to the heart of this novel, which tells the past and present of two generations of Haitians, tied both by relations of blood and by the shedding of it. In the process, Myriam Chancy narrates the bloody history of the last six centuries of Haiti itself, from the violent years of colonialism and slavery, to the chaotic aftermath of the fall of the Baby Doc regime. In a society in which men in blue 'stick a gun to their hips and call it their life', and blood runs like rainwater through the streets, a family is flung apart, to the point of shattering. But it is Josèphe's act of remembrance, of bringing to voice her grandmother, cousins, friends, and her self, that brings down the barriers of place, time, even death, to bring the family together, and to relieve each of the weight of the past they have had to bear. The power of this challenging, multi-layered novel is in its network of narrative voices which set the poetic against the brutal to striking effect. Josèphe is safe but desperately lonely in Canada; her grandmother dies terrified for her family's future; her cousin Alphonse flees to the USA where he hopes to escape the dark shadow cast by his father; and his half-brother Delphi joins the rebels and pays the heaviest price. Josèphe's best friend Desirée also rebels, but finds underground a community with the power to breathe vivid new life into her veins. Within and behind them all stands the amazing figure of Mami Céleste, the mambo who has lived and died four lifetimes and whose tongue can speak the whole history of Haiti, but who is also Delphi's mother, Josèphe's inspiration, Desirée's spiritual saviour, and another victim of the Tonton Macoutes' brutality. Their stories are threaded through with ancestral echoes, historical connections, and the powerful mysteries of voodoo rites, all of which come to us through the enchanting rhythms of Haitian Créole. Myriam Chancy has created a deeply important novel, unique in its exploration of the harsh realities of postcolonial Haiti from a womanist perspective, and remarkable because it does so with such insight, sensitivity and poetry. Myriam J. A. Chancy is a Haitian writer and scholar born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and raised in Quebec City and Winnipeg.

Edward Kennedy
Author: Burton Hersh
Publisher: Catapult
ISBN: 1582437610
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 689
Book Description
In this groundbreaking biography of Edward Kennedy, historian and journalist Burton Hersh combines a lifetime of research and reporting with a lively mixture of never–before–told anecdotes (including the definitive version of the incident at Chappaquiddick, the details of which Kennedy himself filled in for Hersh shortly after it occurred) to create a broad yet unfailingly intimate portrait of the politician who would be universally acknowledged as one of the twentieth century's greatest American legislators. Hersh was acquainted with Kennedy since his college days, and the result here is a unique series of revelations that serve to reinterpret the senator's public and private personas. Conditioned by deep–seated fears that he was an afterthought within his own powerful family, Kennedy developed a genius for conciliation and strategizing that made him a dramatically more effective political figure than either of his older brothers. In addition to this biography's account of the Chappaquiddick incident, Hersh also delivers the first full report of the vendetta between Kennedy and Richard Nixon, exposing the behind–the–scenes manipulations to which Kennedy resorted to drive Nixon from office during the Watergate scandal.
