Book Description
A Word from the Author In a world filled with so many unanswered questions, its hard to find answers for the many questions without proper gudiance. We are yet faced with the missing piece of the puzzle trying to make it fit, yet everyone is searching. Without proper prayer and study of the scriptures, our perspective becomes confused. I have been expired by the anointing of such a great God to write this book. About twenty years ago, I wrote my first fiction novel but never published it. Today, my life has changed as I have been moved by the anointing of God to write. I have sought the Lord diligently for his will and direction for my life. Sometimes what we will is not always God's will. We make promises and never commit to them. We lose battles but never seek the definition of why we lost the battle and were never able to overcome it. You have decision in life, and choices, and for the most part, we choose which decisions we will make. As a born again believer of the Apostolic persuasion, I have been taught down through the years, and to this day I believe that the Lord has a destiny for my life, and whatever he has destined, it will come to birth. I currently attend Greater Grace Apostolic Faith Church, I thank God for all the men and women of God whom have made positive deposit into my life. The God we serve is a covenant God. What we will is not always his will... My prayer is that as you read this book, that the spirit of God will make a new manifestation in your life. I hope the spirit of love will begin flourishing in your life, and that the Glory of God may be revealed, and that you will experience a revelation from the God that made the heaven and the earth, who is the creator of this marvelous creation. It is my belief that when you read this book, it will have an inner effect on you as you allow it to minister to your spiritual man, and that it will change your life.

Paris
Author: Colin Jones
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1440626995
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 593
Book Description
From the Roman Emperor Julian, who waxed rhapsodic about Parisian wine and figs, to Henry Miller, who relished its seductive bohemia, Paris has been a perennial source of fascination for 2,000 years. In this definitive and illuminating history, Colin Jones walks us through the city that was a plague-infested charnel house during the Middle Ages, the bloody epicenter of the French Revolution, the muse of nineteenth-century Impressionist painters, and much more. Jones’s masterful narrative is enhanced by numerous photographs and feature boxes—on the Bastille or Josephine Baker, for instance—that complete a colorful and comprehensive portrait of a place that has endured Vikings, Black Death, and the Nazis to emerge as the heart of a resurgent Europe. This is a thrilling companion for history buffs and backpack, or armchair, travelers alike.
