Book Description
The Teenage Mafia Book 2 is another jewel on the book industry. Book 2 is an action packed thriller. It has a lot more venom than Book 1. After Lewis survived three shots from Redd, he wanted to make Redd along with his gang vanish. Lewis persuaded Steven to allow their crew (The Teenage Mafia) to join forces with C-Loc and his 6 St. gang. DL and Redd were already at war with C-Loc; then Steven and Lewis came along and added more destruction to a brutal battle. Lewis thought collaborating with The 6 St. gang was the perfect move because C-Loc had a small army and he hated Redd too. The envy these guys had for each other led to a school shooting, a brawl that took place at a mall, and more senseless killings. Their war became a chess game with real pieces. Read and find out which crew will capture their opponent's king and say the most honorable thing, CHECKMATE. Eric found himself in another love triangle and this time he fought his best friend Steven over his girl friend Honey. After Honey seduced Steven, he winded up sleeping with her. She recorded the sex and sent Eric some footage on his cell phone. Honey wanted sweet revenge because she discovered his sex tape made behind her back. Immediately, Eric wanted Steven dead. He decided to get some help from his untrustworthy cousin Redd. Redd had more beef than a bowl of soup. Redd and Lewis competed some more over Tammy. Tammy was confused about which guy she really wanted. Her feelings for Redd were stronger than what she would admit. Redd went all out trying to erase Lewis. While Steven was not fooling around with Honey, James's mother Zenobia caught his eyes. She found out about her son's involvement in The Teenage Mafia. Zenobia forced Steven to pull off a few robberies and bring her the prizes. Zenobia threaten to call the Police if he didn't do what she said. Steven fell in love with Zenobia; he was fascinated with her looks and sophistication. The 35 years old Zenobia was also falling in love with him-but she was unsure about going out with an 18 years old man.

The Bomber Mafia
Author: Malcolm Gladwell
Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 0316296937
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
A “truly compelling” (Good Morning America) New York Times bestseller that explores how technology and best intentions collide in the heat of war—from the creator and host of the podcast Revisionist History. In The Bomber Mafia, Malcolm Gladwell weaves together the stories of a Dutch genius and his homemade computer, a band of brothers in central Alabama, a British psychopath, and pyromaniacal chemists at Harvard to examine one of the greatest moral challenges in modern American history. Most military thinkers in the years leading up to World War II saw the airplane as an afterthought. But a small band of idealistic strategists, the “Bomber Mafia,” asked: What if precision bombing could cripple the enemy and make war far less lethal? In contrast, the bombing of Tokyo on the deadliest night of the war was the brainchild of General Curtis LeMay, whose brutal pragmatism and scorched-earth tactics in Japan cost thousands of civilian lives, but may have spared even more by averting a planned US invasion. In The Bomber Mafia, Gladwell asks, “Was it worth it?” Things might have gone differently had LeMay’s predecessor, General Haywood Hansell, remained in charge. Hansell believed in precision bombing, but when he and Curtis LeMay squared off for a leadership handover in the jungles of Guam, LeMay emerged victorious, leading to the darkest night of World War II. The Bomber Mafia is a riveting tale of persistence, innovation, and the incalculable wages of war.

The Eloquence of Grace
Author: James M. Childs Jr.
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1621894630
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Joseph A. Sittler (1904-1987) was one of the most influential theologians of the twentieth century, distinguished for his pioneering work in ecology and for his preeminence as a preacher. He gave both the Beecher Lectures at Yale and the Noble Lectures at Harvard. As the "preacher's theologian," Sittler approached the interpretation of Scripture with a clear understanding of current critical scholarship, but also in the freedom of the gospel at the center of Scripture and with the humility of a theologian of the cross. In following the trajectory of the text into the preaching situation he gave a lively, timeless, and eloquent expression to the fact that the interpretation of texts is in the service of proclamation. This collection of readings from Sittler's rich legacy contains a great many presentations and sermons that have never before appeared in print. Theologically serious preaching, close attention to language, engagement with the best of sacred and secular culture, and a deep respect for the text, all characteristics of Sittler's work, are the sort of features that continue to edify. They remain as benchmarks for good preaching even as styles and contexts evolve.
