Book Description
An urgent and informed look at the challenges Britain and world governments will face in a post-Covid-19 world. The Covid crisis has not just highlighted the failures of certain governments, it is accelerating a shift in the balance of power from West to East. After a decade where politics in the US and the UK has been consumed with inward-facing struggles, countries like South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, as well as China, have made extraordinary advances economically, technologically and politically. In this beautifully crafted essay, Micklethwait and Wooldridge explain how we ended up in this mess and explore the possible routes out. If Western governments respond creatively to the crisis, they will have a chance of reversing decades of decline; if they dither and delay while Asia continues to improve, the prospect of a new Eastern-dominated world order will increase. The big question facing the world is whether the West can rise to the challenge as it has before.

Book Description
The heart-wrenching account of a young mother widowed after the horrific 9/11 terrorist attack and her journey towards becoming a central activists in the fight for justice and peace. Kristen Breitweiser was a happy young mother and housewife leading a privileged life. Then, on the morning of September 11th, 2001, the phone rang. It was her husband, Ron, calling from his office in the second tower. "Sweets, I'm ok. I'm ok. Don't worry. It's not my building," he said. Kristen didn't know what he was saying. He told her to turn on the television. He continued. "I see them. They're right there. Right across from me. And they're jumping. My God, they're jumping." The call ended abruptly and Kristen watched with horror as the second tower exploded. A huge, brilliant, red fireball. In that frozen instant, she felt in her heart that he had been killed. This is the deeply personal, often shocking and ultimately inspirational story of a woman left to pick up the pieces of a life shattered by terrorism. With no husband by her side or father for her child, Kristen had to find the strength within herself to embark on a journey that would lead first to the creation of the 9/11 Commission and then to her role as one of the country's most outspoken activists and critics of the current administration.

The Wake-up Call
Author: Kenneth Copeland

Category : Christian life
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
God doesn’t do anything in the earth without first revealing it to His prophets (Amos 3:7). It’s because of His mercy He always gives a wake-up call to prepare His people. In this moving and compelling series, Kenneth Copeland and Richard Roberts join Oral Roberts as he shares the vision--The Wake-Up Call-God--God has given him concerning the future of the United States, the Jews, the Christians and the world. Brother Roberts heard the voice of the Lord say, I’m making a sign. This is one of the signs of the end time because the world is not ready for the Second Coming of My Son. My Church is not ready for the Second Coming of My Son. Things will always happen exactly in the time God has chosen, and He’s given mankind many years to repent. God is not out of mercy, but he is out of time. His giving of visions and signs is proof God is still interested in us. Our part is to simply turn around and be obedient. God has given Kenneth Copeland a prophetic word concerning Brother Robert’s vision. And in part two of this series, Brother Copeland is joined by Gloria Copeland and Billye Brim to offer insightful and informative commentary and interpretation of Brother Robert’s sobering vision and God’s exciting plan for every man and woman who will respond to it. The Wake-Up Call is your call to walk fear-free and love-filled in the overflow of God’s glory instead of the overflow of sin’s darkness in these last days. It’s your call to be prepared to help when unprecedented events send a frightened, questioning world running to God for answers. Listen with your heart and respond in repentance, faith and love to The Wake-Up Call.

Pages : 298
Book Description
A broken girl... Twenty years old and I'd finally had enough. I couldn't take anymore, so I packed up my things and disappeared, leaving behind my drunken, abusive father and the mother that stood by and watched as I slowly died. I knew I was going, but not where I'd stop. The last thing I expected once on my own, was to be spending my nights stripping at a club in Florida, barely getting by. I should have known running from a past wouldn't make it stop haunting me, because misery will always find me and tear me down until there's nothing left of me. It always has... Things can always change though, right? Like looking up at a handsome, tattooed stranger, and with one stare he has me questioning everything I've ever believed in. I wasn't expecting or prepared for someone to storm into my life. Not him. Jace Montgomery. The name I'll never forget. The need to save me lies in his eyes, but I don't need a savior. Trust- what he wants to teach me. That I'm something more than what I've grown up believing and that I'm worth loving. Those are the things he wants me to believe. How am I supposed to let him in and show me I'm something when I've spent my entire life being... nothing? He won't give up, and honestly, I'm hoping he never does... Because maybe... just maybe... I am worth saving after all.
