Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter
Author: Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062953826
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER For the first time, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson opens up about his amazing comeback—from tragic personal loss to thriving businessman and cable’s highest-paid executive—in this unique self-help guide, his first since his blockbuster New York Times bestseller The 50th Law. In his early twenties Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin’s family. The series quickly became “appointment” television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network—the most lucrative deal in premium cable history. Now, in his most personal book, Jackson shakes up the self-help category with his unique, cutting-edge lessons and hard-earned advice on embracing change. Where The 50th Law tells readers “fear nothing and you shall succeed,” Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter builds on this message, combining it with Jackson’s street smarts and hard-learned corporate savvy to help readers successfully achieve their own comeback—and to learn to flow with the changes that disrupt their own lives.

Secret in St. Something
Author: Barbara Brooks Wallace
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1439134685
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
One flight up the narrow, steep stairs, Robin finds himself swallowed up by the darkness, terrified and hating the thought of the misery and fear his knock will bring to the wretched families who huddle behind every door in the building. Thus begins the story set in a grim tenement district of New York City before the turn of the twentieth century. It is there that Robin, once protected by a loving mother and father, both now dead, must contend with a brutal stepfather, Hawker Doak. Yet Robin is faced with only two choices: remain in the ruthless charge of Hawker, collecting the hated rents, and, perhaps worse, being sent to work in a factory or escape into the treacherous slum streets, haunted by, among other horrors, the bullying boys who work and live in the streets, and whom Robin so fears. Either choice provides a sure recipe for a very short life. But in the end it is fear for the life of his baby brother that makes Robin's agonizing decision for him. The answer to whether or not they survive will only be found when Robin discovers the secret guarded by a place called St. Something. Within this true picture of tenement life, Barbara Brooks Wallace has created another chilling mystery that starts with one kind of terror, only to weave its way into yet another, deepened by intrigue and unspeakable treachery.

Being Christian - A Novel
Author: K. C. Boyd
Publisher: Rebel Island Press
ISBN: 1662942230
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
The product of a violent home, John Christian Hillcox overcomes long odds to build a Texas megachurch from where he preaches the gospels of Prosperity and End Times, while also using the power of his voting bloc as a political cudgel. A man of enormous appetites and inadequate self-control, Pastor Hillcox rallies his church and televangelical flock to oppose everything he considers immoral and detrimental to the United States' becoming the godly, Christian nation it is meant to be. Being Christian is a gripping psychological tale of a man who utilizes religion to justify his own sins and lies, heedless of the consequences for his loved ones, his community, and the world at large. The story of this larger-than-life, but all too familiar, character follows him from his crime-ridden early adulthood to the prime of his ministry in post-9/11 America. Not since the twentieth century's Elmer Gantry has a novel so exposed the religious film-flammery and hypocrisy that now threatens to tear apart the American social and political fabric. Being Christian is a quintessentially American story, based on the ideologies and personalities that make the news every day with their challenges to the Constitutional religious/political divide. Book Review: "Being Christian" is a timely and provocative work that reveals a new courageous author and an important not-so fictional introduction to the dangers of an American brand of fundamentalism that is corrupting American politics and policies. The writing is vivid and straight from the shoulder; the narrative is chilling and genuine; the ideas are compelling. Anyone interested in the impact of religious fundamentalism on American politics will absorb this work. As for the Founding Fathers, they would say "we warned you about this. -- Melvin Goodman, Former analyst for the CIA and the State Department, Professor and Fellow
