Book Description
#1 New York Times Bestseller Oprah's Book Club Selection The “extraordinary . . . monumental masterpiece” (Booklist) that changed the course of Ken Follett’s already phenomenal career—and begins where its prequel, The Evening and the Morning, ended. “Follett risks all and comes out a clear winner,” extolled Publishers Weekly on the release of The Pillars of the Earth.

A spellbinding epic tale of ambition, anarchy, and absolute power set against the sprawling medieval canvas of twelfth-century England, this is Ken Follett’s historical masterpiece.

The 7 Pillars of God's Wisdom
Author: Herbert Lockyer
Publisher: Whitaker House
ISBN: 1603748385
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
Our Power and Wisdom The book of Proverbs says, “Wisdom has built her house, she has set up her seven pillars” (Proverbs 9:1). And the apostle Paul referred to Jesus Christ as “the power of God and the wisdom of God” (1 Corinthians 1:24) to us. Legendary Bible teacher Herbert Lockyer unfolds the seven “pillars” of divine wisdom demonstrated in Christ’s incarnation and redeeming work on earth that the church upholds as essential truths of the faith. Understanding these pillars will help us to become more like Jesus and to fulfill God’s purposes, both here and in eternity: The Pillar of Mystery The Pillar of Incarnation The Pillar of Vindication The Pillar of Revelation The Pillar of Proclamation The Pillar of Belief The Pillar of Glorification The early church was dynamic in its witness because it continued steadfastly in these pillars of the Christian faith. Likewise, when we meditate reverently on the events and truths of Jesus’ coming to earth, we appreciate more deeply the great salvation that we have received, and we become more eager and able to share these liberating truths with others.

Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
This book is written to empower you to face every battle that comes your way. With this book the Lord will put his armor upon you and destroy the fiery darts of the enemy. There are seven principal pillars of Satan you need to pull down before success and salvation can be erected in your destiny. This book addresses them all. They comprise pride, lack of knowledge, anger, and lack of faith; prayerlessness, self-affliction and pursuit of vanity. You are not expected to plant good seeds of life and reap little or nothing. You are created a unique person and; to achieve unique reward. You are the salt of the world. This book will provoke you to action and win every battle of life. You are to crack every concrete situation in your life so that your destiny may thrive. The seven pillars are dangerous to humanity. They swallow effects of prayer. The wicked do this intentionally by placing load of distractions in your hands. They do it with smiles but with wickedness in their heart. Satan is smart! He places load of distraction in our hands and turn it to pillars designed to swallow our destiny. Distraction takes priority in our life over the glorious presence of God so that we lose appetite for God and receive no vision or revelation. We must checkmate the wickedness of the enemy. It is for this reason this violent spiritual book loaded with spiritual missile bullets is written. This book will silence and break to pieces these evil pillars. There are battles seeking your daily tears and ready to bury your destiny. They are spiritual pillars that say; “if I am not lifted, you can’t be lifted”. They are there pressing you down, boasting you can’t go. They are happy to press you down. They are spiritual vultures assigned in the spirit to announce your obituary. At this point; call on angels of war to come to your aide and fight the battle. You need drastic, violent and no nonsense spiritual powers to destroy the evil pillars. Your cry to God won’t have effect if you are not prayerful and know what to do. This book gives good counsel to go about it. This book is wonderfully packaged with violent prayers vomited by Holy Spirit. Arise and pray. Now is the time every witch and wizard, and every form of evil power that surrounds you should surrender. Above all, this book will give you access to the following as you count success over the seven pillars of darkness. You shall be set free from the grip of the enemy. The powers of your father’s house shall bow. Losses shall seize in your life. Your destiny shall experience spiritual fertility and growth. Pillars of darkness assigned against you shall break to pieces and expire. The glory of the Lord shall locate you and your eagle shall fly high. Helpers shall arise for your sake and locate you. Every dark battle against you shall bow and scatter. Every dark arrow of limitation, untimely death, bad health, poverty and whatever shall backfire to the sender. Every dark pillar troubling you in order to swallow your destiny and keep you in perpetual cry and agony shall be pulled down by fire. The battle is won. Pick your copy and buy for others. Your joy is borderless and super! Congratulations and praise the Lord!

The Young T. E. Lawrence
Author: Anthony Sattin
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393242676
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
An intimate biography of the years that turned T. E. Lawrence into Lawrence of Arabia. Lawrence of Arabia's heroism during the Arab revolt and his disgust at the subsequent betrayal of the Arabs in the postwar negotiations have become the stuff of legend. But T. E. Lawrence’s adventures in the Levant began long before the outbreak of war. This intimate biography is the first to focus on Lawrence in his twenties, the untold story of the awkward archaeologist from Oxford who, on first visiting "The East," fell in love with Arab culture and found his life's mission. Few people realize that Lawrence’s classic autobiography, Seven Pillars of Wisdom, was not the first book to carry that iconic title. Lawrence himself burned his original draft. Anthony Sattin here uncovers the story Lawrence wanted to conceal: the truth of his birth, his tortuous relationship with a dominant mother, his deep affection for an Arab boy, and the personal reasons that drove him from student to spy. Drawing on surviving letters, diaries, and accounts from close confidantes, Sattin brings a biographer’s eye for detail and a travel writer's verve to Lawrence's extraordinary journeys through the region with which his name is forever connected. In a masterful parallel narrative, The Young T. E. Lawrence charts the maturation of the man and the incipient countries he treasured, both coming of age at a time when the world’s foundations were coming undone.

Revolt in the Desert

ISBN: 9781848856653
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
T.E. Lawrence, also known as "Lawrence of Arabia," wrote Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A Triumph from his memories of serving as a liaison officer with rebel forces during the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Turks (1916-1918). Possessed of a brilliant military mind and an unmatched knowledge of the region and the Arab people, Lawrence led the revolt alongside the charismatic Faisal I, sounding the death knell for the Ottoman Empire and paving the way for a new colonial power in the region: the British. Writing from memory after his original manuscript and detailed notes were lost, Lawrence was able to privately publish a polished version of his autobiograhpical account in 1922. It is from this edition that he created the abridged version in 1927 which would become a best-seller, titling it Revolt in the Desert. This important historic work vividly portrays one of the most turbulent periods in the history of the Middle East while offering rich insight into one of Britain's esteemed national heroes.

The Seven Pillars of Statistical Wisdom
Author: Stephen M. Stigler
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 9780674088917
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
What gives statistics its unity as a science? Stephen Stigler sets forth the seven foundational ideas of statistics—a scientific discipline related to but distinct from mathematics and computer science. Even the most basic idea—aggregation, exemplified by averaging—is counterintuitive. It allows one to gain information by discarding information, namely, the individuality of the observations. Stigler’s second pillar, information measurement, challenges the importance of “big data” by noting that observations are not all equally important: the amount of information in a data set is often proportional to only the square root of the number of observations, not the absolute number. The third idea is likelihood, the calibration of inferences with the use of probability. Intercomparison is the principle that statistical comparisons do not need to be made with respect to an external standard. The fifth pillar is regression, both a paradox (tall parents on average produce shorter children; tall children on average have shorter parents) and the basis of inference, including Bayesian inference and causal reasoning. The sixth concept captures the importance of experimental design—for example, by recognizing the gains to be had from a combinatorial approach with rigorous randomization. The seventh idea is the residual: the notion that a complicated phenomenon can be simplified by subtracting the effect of known causes, leaving a residual phenomenon that can be explained more easily. The Seven Pillars of Statistical Wisdom presents an original, unified account of statistical science that will fascinate the interested layperson and engage the professional statistician.
