Book Description
This book is an opportunity to pull back the curtain of Oliver Marcelle's life, so to speak, and take a look at the journey that he's taken through manhood up until this point. There are several 'man laws' that we've grown up under - directives that have been passed down from generation to generation. Concepts like: men don't cry, don't back down, stand strong on your position, etc. You can probably come up with your own list. Oliver has discovered throughout his life (especially after getting married) that the adoption of some of these 'laws' were detrimental. They were keeping him from making the necessary adjustments that would enable him to see the kind of results he desired in his life, career and relationships. Something needed to change! The book highlights 5 very important things that Oliver has come to realize over the course of his life (referred to as the 'unwritten man laws'). Soul-searching, evaluation, self-actualization and adjustments were an important part of the process to becoming the man he wanted to be. The 5 areas are dissected into 8 pillars in an attempt to guide men onto their own path of self-discovery. It is not a manual, as no two people's paths are the same. It is an example, a blueprint, a recipe that can be tweaked to produce your specific desired outcome. The goal of this book can be summed up with words from the book's dedication: May you find 2020 long before hindsight.

Book Description
THE MILLION COPY INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 'If power is your ultimate goal, this is the book you need' The Times Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this piercing work distils three thousand years of the history of power into forty-eight well-explicated laws. As attention-grabbing in its design as it is in its content, this bold volume outlines the laws of power in their unvarnished essence, synthesizing the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun-tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and other great thinkers. Some laws require prudence ("Law 1: Never Outshine the Master"), some stealth ("Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions"), and some the total absence of mercy ("Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally"), but like it or not, all have applications in real-life situations. Illustrated through the tactics of Queen Elizabeth I, Henry Kissenger, P T Barnum, and other famous figures who have wielded - or been victimised by - power, these laws will fascinate any reader interested in gaining, observing or defending against ultimate control.

Book Description
Legal theory must become more factual and empirical and less conceptual and polemical, Richard Posner argues in this wide-ranging new book. The topics covered include the structure and behavior of the legal profession; constitutional theory; gender, sex, and race theories; interdisciplinary approaches to law; the nature of legal reasoning; and legal pragmatism. Posner analyzes, in witty and passionate prose, schools of thought as different as social constructionism and institutional economics, and scholars and judges as different as Bruce Ackerman, Robert Bork, Ronald Dworkin, Catharine MacKinnon, Richard Rorty, and Patricia Williams. He also engages challenging issues in legal theory that range from the motivations and behavior of judges and the role of rhetoric and analogy in law to the rationale for privacy and blackmail law and the regulation of employment contracts. Although written by a sitting judge, the book does not avoid controversy; it contains frank appraisals of radical feminist and race theories, the behavior of the German and British judiciaries in wartime, and the excesses of social constructionist theories of sexual behavior. Throughout, the book is unified by Posner's distinctive stance, which is pragmatist in philosophy, economic in methodology, and liberal (in the sense of John Stuart Mill's liberalism) in politics. Brilliantly written, eschewing jargon and technicalities, it will make a major contribution to the debate about the role of law in our society.

Book Description
The problems men face today are not new; they have been around since the time of the Bible. Insensitivity, lust, individualism, absence, manipulation, unresolved anger--even a cursory study of Bible characters will expose all of these moral and emotional battles. Jeffrey E. Miller challenges men to acknowledge their common struggles and weaknesses to help them become better men. Developed from his featured Bible teaching series on Bible.org, Occupational Hazards of Being a Man focuses on a different Old Testament personality with a unique problem in every chapter. Miller tackles these tough and pervasive issues to help men realize that these hazards are not unique to them, but that they are issues that all men face--and can overcome. This honest and freeing book is perfect for men's small groups, pastors, counselors, and individuals.

Book Description
In his book “Overcoming Through the Spirit” the author shows the world of today to be no different than the world in the time of the apostles. The Apostle John wrote, “the whole world lieth in wickedness” (1 John 5:19) Today there is also false doctrines, false prophets and teachers, and people in all nations proclaiming themselves to be something they are not. The foremost reason I have written this book is that I was deeply impressed by God to write this book and entitle it “Overcoming through the Spirit.” I began a writing ministry in September of 1994 that is continuing at present writing articles for the church bulletin based on the messages preached by the ministry. These articles comprise most of the essential doctrines on a Christian's overcoming faith. When adding a comment from a church bulletin article on a particular thought, I reference it with an endnote. While a book instructing someone to overcome and have victory in their life is needful, experiential knowledge is the best teacher and way to learn the art of overcoming through the help of the Spirit and the word of God. I desire that this book be a great source to all who read it on maintaining an upright spirit and living for God in truth and holiness through the Spirit and word of Jesus Christ working in their hearts (Philippians 2:13).
