Book Description
Forget everything you thought you knew about America's early days-history packs a punch in this full-color, two-fisted, edge-of-your-seat adventure! Graphic novels are a revolution in literature, and The Sons of Liberty is a graphic novel like no other. Visual and visceral, fusing historical fiction and superhero action, this is a tale with broad appeal-for younger readers who enjoy an exciting war story, for teenagers asking hard questions about American history, for adult fans of comic books, for anyone seeking stories of African American interest, and for reluctant readers young and old. In Colonial America, Graham and Brody are slaves on the run-until they gain extraordinary powers. At first they keep a low profile. But their mentor has another idea-one that involves the African martial art dambe . . . and masks. With its vile villains, electrifying action, and riveting suspense, The Sons of Liberty casts new light on the faces and events of pre-Revolution America, including Ben Franklin and the French and Indian War. American history has rarely been this compelling-and it's never looked this good. For more information and exclusive content, visit www.thesonsoflibertybook.com

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
Sons of Zadok—The Prequel to the Remnant Rescue Series is the story of a fictional brotherhood of Israelites (male descendants of Kohath from the tribe of Levi) who have sworn to guard the sacred Ark of the Covenant with their lives. In 944 B.C., Zadok, the High Priest of Israel, commissions loyal followers to build an intricate mechanism deep under King Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem to protect the Ark from harm. They fulfilled their sacred duty for over 400 years, during which time civil wars, ungodly kings, corrupt priests, national apostasy, and invasions from Syria, Assyria, and Egypt destroy the nation’s long history of faithfulness to their One True God. The Ark of the Covenant will remain hidden until Israel repents and turns back to the LORD. In 586 B.C., a massive Babylonian army is poised at Jerusalem’s gates intent on leveling the fortress-city and King Solomon’s Temple to their foundations. With no salvation in sight, the last Kohathites remove the Ark from its hiding place and carry it to a distant land for safekeeping. It will remain there until the Temple is rebuilt, Israelites regather from exile, and Messiah comes to establish His Kingdom. Sons of Zadok is the fictional background to Remnant Rescue—The Tapez Scroll in the Remnant Rescue series which is a modern-day thriller trilogy that takes place in a future seven-year period called the Tribulation, during which time God pours out His divine judgment on planet Earth and Satan wreaks havoc using the Antichrist whom the world knows as Constantine, Prince of Rome. The Antichrist demands that every human being on the planet worship him and his image in a rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem. Anticipating the coming holocaust that the Bible calls the Great Tribulation, or the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, a brave group of Christians dare to risk their lives to rescue a remnant of Jews who look forward to their coming Messiah.

The Sons of Wetbacks
Author: Jacob Monty
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781947368873
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
Immigrants are vital to America's economy and national security. They make our food. They care for the ill, injured, and elderly in our healthcare system. They contribute to our country's technological might. And yet, our immigration system is fundamentally broken. Millions of immigrants live lives of uncertainty and fear. Meanwhile, businesses are baffled by convoluted hiring practices. Worst of all, scores of DACA kids contribute faithfully to their adopted country without any clear path to citizenship. In The Sons of Wetbacks, Texas attorney and third-generation Mexican-American Jacob Montilijo Monty offers a compelling conservative case for immigration reform. While many on the right oppose immigration reform because of a belief that all Latinos are liberals, this couldn't be further from the truth. Rather, Latinos put great value on faith, family, and private enterprise, making them a natural fit for the GOP. The author lays out a clearly articulated approach to reform immigration in a manner that is pragmatic, fair and in line with the principles of conservatism. Monty says, "We're not talking about amnesty. The bad hombres should be sent back. But, Latino immigrants are here to work. Let's vet them and get them working with legitimate papers. It would go a long way to making America great again."
