Book Description
Sir Roger Knight seems to be a classic British success story - he has a rock-solid business, a comfortable suburban home, an adoring wife and daughter, and a knighthood, to boot. But beneath the outward trappings of respectability and conformity lies a very different tale - whose roots lie in the murky wheelings and dealings in the dying days of the Third Reich.

Life As a Lie
Author: M. H. Elhaj
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781532961281
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
The narrator and his best friend are born on the same day in the same neighborhood. Their early life conditions and upbringing seem almost identical. They run in the same circles, attend the same schools, and are basically nurtured the same values. Yet, their choices and their responses to what life throws at them end up drastically different. When power over their ancient and diverse land is usurped by forces bent on imposing an uncompromising version of religious and cultural absolutism, the people find themselves faced with unpalatable choices: stay quiet and suffer the oppression, fight an unequal battle, or head for the exit door leaving behind everything they know and love. In this sweeping philosophic work that touches on issues of religion, displacement, politics, migration, culture, and belonging, the reader is gradually immersed in the sometimes conscious yet often unconscious struggle of the main characters to come to terms with the greatest unknown of all-the meaning of life. Sifting through the wreckage of the times of separation, the reader will discover, in this heartbreaking but inspirational work, that pure, enduring love might just be the only thing in life that is not a lie.

10 Lies Men Believe About Porn
Author: Stephen Kuhn
Publisher: Morgan James Publishing
ISBN: 1630470309
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
The battle to resist pornography is brutal. Its lure just seems too powerful. We've tried for years to be strong, run away from temptation, and manage our desires in better ways. No matter how hard we try, though, we just can't get free from pornography. Some of us have lost all hope. What if the battle you've been fighting isn't even the real battle? What if using pornography is just a symptom of something deeper going on inside of you? What if the things you are doing to protect yourself actually contribute to your obsession? Have you had thoughts like I'm the only one struggling like this, God must be so ashamed of me, or I've got to get stronger to overcome this? These thoughts are common. But they are also lies. 10 Lies Men Believe about Porn holds these lies up against the truth of Scripture. You'll learn how they deceive us into missing out on the freedom Christ offers us. Ultimately, you'll discover that the message of the gospel isn't about learning to fight better-it's about no longer needing to fight at all. That is the type of freedom Jesus came to offer you. That's why they call it the Good News. "And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." -John 8:32-

Lies We Believe About God
Author: Wm. Paul Young
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501101412
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 163
Book Description
From the author of the bestselling novel The Shack and the New York Times bestsellers Cross Roads and Eve comes a compelling, conversational exploration of twenty-eight assumptions about God—assumptions that just might be keeping us from experiencing His unconditional, all-encompassing love. In his wildly popular novels, Wm. Paul Young portrayed the Triune God in ways that challenged our thinking—sometimes upending long-held beliefs, but always centered in the eternal, all-encompassing nature of God’s love. Now, in Wm. Paul Young’s first nonfiction book, he invites us to revisit our assumptions about God—this time using the Bible, theological discussion, and personal anecdotes. Paul encourages us to think through beliefs we’ve presumed to be true and consider whether some might actually be false. Expounding on the compassion fans felt from the “Papa” portrayed in The Shack—now a major film starring Sam Worthington and Octavia Spencer—Paul encourages you to think anew about important issues including sin, religion, hell, politics, identity, creation, human rights, and helping us discover God’s deep and abiding love.

James Dickey
Author: Henry Hart
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 146682865X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 1486
Book Description
A fascinating biography of one of the most popular, colorful, and notorious American poets of our century. The legendary Southern poet James Dickey never shied away from cultivating a heroic mystique. Like Norman Mailer and Ernest Hemingway, he earned a reputation as a sportsman, boozer, war hero, and womanizer as well as a great poet, novelist, screenwriter, and essayist. But James Dickey made lying both a literary strategy and a protective camouflage; even his family and closest friends failed to distinguish between the mythical James Dickey and the actual man. Henry Hart sees lying as the central theme to Dickey's life; and in this authoritative, immensely entertaining biography he delves deep behind Dickey's many masks. Letters, anecdotes, tall tales and true ones, as well as the reluctant but finally candid cooperation of Dickey himself animate Hart's narration of a remarkable life. Readers of Dickey's National Book Award-winning poetry, his bestselling novel Deliverance, and anyone who witnessed his electrifying readings of his work will savor this book.

My Lie
Author: Meredith Maran
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470944838
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Meredith Maran lived a daughter's nightmare: she accused her father of sexual abuse, then realized, nearly too late, that he was innocent. During the 1980s and 1990s, tens of thousands of Americans became convinced that they had repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse, and then, decades later, recovered those memories in therapy. Journalist, mother, and daughter Meredith Maran was one of them. Her accusation and estrangement from her father caused her sons to grow up without their only grandfather, divided her family into those who believed her and those who didn't, and led her to isolate herself on "Planet Incest," where "survivors" devoted their lives, and life savings, to recovering memories of events that had never occurred. Maran unveils her family's devastation and ultimate redemption against the backdrop of the sex-abuse scandals, beginning with the infamous McMartin preschool trial, that sent hundreds of innocents to jail—several of whom remain imprisoned today. Exploring the psychological, cultural, and neuroscientific causes of this modern American witch-hunt, My Lie asks: how could so many people come to believe the same lie at the same time? What has neuroscience discovered about the brain's capacity to create false memories and encode false beliefs? What are the "big lies" gaining traction in American culture today—and how can we keep them from taking hold? My Lie is a wrenchingly honest, unexpectedly witty, and profoundly human story that proves the personal is indeed political—and the political can become painfully personal.
