Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 139
Book Description
Twenty-seven days metamorphose the ideologies and essence of living of a twenty-one-year-old boy Neev, when he sets on a unique journey to claim and sell all the properties of his father in various parts of the world. Surprisingly, Neev is made aware of the existence of this fortune only after his father Raj Kapoor’s untimely demise, when he reads his father’s will. But along with this revelation, the Will also discloses something else which leaves Neev appalled. In his will, Raj decides to gift all his foreign properties to his son only on one condition that Neev would be awarded those assets if he is capable enough to discover them. The location of the first property is mentioned in the will. Raj had a total of seven properties in Canada, United States of America, Brazil, South Africa, Australia, Russia and Spain. He had meticulously set clues in all of them, for Neev to solve. The first half of the book primarily delves into an inexplicable relationship of a father and son as well as Neev’s transformation from a brat to a gentleman. The second part of the story depicts another journey of Neev wherein he starts working for his country India. Further self-introspection coaxes Neev to work towards fulfilling his late mother’s only wish to see her son do something recognizable for his country. Coincidentally, a high-profile undercover team working directly under the prime-minister of India unearths Neev during the same time. The five-membered team named ‘the ph-factor’ eagerly needs a replacement for their counterpart. They select Neev after multiple layers of a hidden selection process and approach him. Neev ends up becoming the prime-minister’s closest confidante owing to the diligence with which he solves a plethora of cases handed over to him. In the end, an accomplished gentleman and patriot, who despite being an orphan, ends up feeling positive and content for the person he has become now. The prime-minister’s role is a treat to read and learn from as well.

Post-Rapture Radio
Author: Russell Rathbun
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470292725
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
In Post-Rapture Radio, our faithful narrator finds a mysterious box containing the sermons and journal entries of a genuine, unvarnished American character the Reverend Richard Lamblove. The little-known Lamblove–tried and failed–to revolutionize contemporary Christian culture. As his journal entries, cereal box scribblings, and random notes written on paper scraps reveal, Lamblove sees contemporary culture as shallow, overly individualistic, and consumed with the kind of status measured by money, power, and celebrity. And American Evangelicalism—which has been integrated into the culture as a whole—has similar failings. Reverend Lamblove vanished without a trace, but Russell Rathbun has “compiled” his papers into a compelling critique of contemporary faith an antidote to faith-as-usual and a wakeup call for Christians to genuinely respond to the gospel.

Breaking the Disciplines
Author: Martin L. Davies
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0857710990
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
International scholars explore the ways in which knowledge actually operates, showing the limitations of now outmoded disciplines. Coming from fields as diverse as anthropology, philosophy, literature, aesthetics and art practice, together they break down the boundaries between entrenched domains of knowledge. Studies of objects which confound traditional definitions - including a mechanical cow invented by an Irish farmer, and the curious case of a mechanical monk - show how a close look at an individual object can, paradoxically, open up dynamic new "reconceptions" of traditional systems of knowledge. With social uses of knowledge currently a matter of public debate, this should be a timely text.

Pages : 274
Book Description
On the day Colonel Mann was handed the job his life changed. He was hand picked from the U.S. Special Forces to come up with a plan for a revolutionary fi ghting force. It was a new concept for the Western Coalition nations, who were at war with a new threat emerging in the Middle East, The Islamic State. America the leading Superpower and their Coalition Allies having suffered casualties in The Gulf War, Iraq and Afghanistan since early 2000, were reluctant to put boots on the ground in this new insurrection in Iraq and Syria. Into this uncertain scenario, the idea of using an expendable military unit emerged from the bowels of the Pentagon. Colonel Mann stood before the Generals and CIA advisors as they briefed him on his mission. Put together a military unit, using selected convicts from our prisons. Train them in Special Forces tactics, as a Quick reaction force to be used in future operations. It was a decade before the emergence of ISIS, when Colonel Mann got the wheels in motion. It was a tedious process for there were many obstacles to overcome. It was kept top-secret from the start, for western political leaders would never publicly sanction such a ticking time bomb. The Pentagon put it under the umbrella of "Black Ops". Having used Americans and foreign soldiers as mercenaries for years, this new unit was an extension of foreign policy. It was a new tool, in the experimental phase for the world was dealing with global terrorism. The concept of the new Penal Army Unit is about a rarely used, little known, controversial method in the modern history of warfare, using condemned criminals to fight in near suicidal missions. Russian and German Armies were known to have Penal army units during World War 2. The Devils Brigade (1st Special Service Force), was the combined Canadian/US Commando unit in WW 2, set the standard in quick strike Combined Forces in the Allied camp. In 2014 Force X would emerge as it's modern progeny and nemesis of terrorists.
