A life behind bars for crimes I know he didn't commit. My blackmailer can't give up his revenge on my family, and I can't be with him if he doesn't. But I'm nothing more than a butterfly caught in his net. Do I really have a choice?*A Dark Romance Duet. Titles available individually as Echo & Stutter*

  • - General Patton's 317th Infantry Regiment in WWII
    av James Hayes
    299,-

    "One of the most enjoyable WW2 books to date."-War History Online One Hell of a War" is a fascinating blend of firsthand accounts and the strategic decisions that led to them based on the history of the 317th Infantry Regiment from its initial activation in World War II through the end of the war. This book has all the elements everyone loved in "Band of Brothers" with the added integration of the strategic leadership decisions of Patton, Bradley and Eisenhower. Most interestingly, it contains well written and thought-provoking excerpts of the late Colonel James Hayes, who served with the regiment during its entire wartime service. The history books do not say a great deal about the 317th Infantry Regiment of the 80th Infantry Division in WWII. However, it was a regiment that accomplished rather startling results: first bridgehead across the Moselle, cleared out La Grande Couronne de Nancy, participated in the capture of Metz -- the first time in history that the fort had ever fallen to an assault, and, of course, participated in the Battle of the Bulge as one of the first regiments to arrive in the area after the German assault had broken the line. It suffered extremely severe casualties and contained some of the best men ever known. What others are saying about One Hell of a War...- "One Hell of a War" is one of those books you simply can't put down. It should come with a carrying handle and a sign warning "Do Not Disturb"...one of the most enjoyable WW2 books to date.-Phil Hodges for War History Online- I love to read WWII history, and One Hell of a War takes the reader into the foxhole and onto the battlefield like no other book I have read ... this is a must read book.-Jim Ravella, President, Folds of Honor Foundation- It would be wonderful if every unit who fought during the war had a book like this portraying what was accomplished and how terrible war is for the men who actually fight it. -Gayalyn Wojtowicz, daughter of S/Sgt. Guyowen H. Howard, Sr. 317/B - OUTSTANDING! "One Hell of a War" is a magnificent and masterfully told story that effortlessly weaves together the historical operations of one of Patton's infantry regiments and first-hand accounts like no other book that I have read. A book this excellent is a rarity and should be on every professional reading list.-Colonel Frank Athanason, USA (Ret), Past National Commander of the Military Order of the Purple Heart- Dean Dominique's careful research and editing of Colonel James Hayes' combat memoirs rings true in a book that is both a scholarly work and an exciting read. Trust me, when you reach the section about the fighting and cold weather during the Battle of the Bulge, you'll want to put on a coat; it's that good.-Alexander Barnes; Author of "In a Strange land; The American Occupation of Germany 1918-1923.- A remarkable story about an infantry regiment during WWII that played a key role in operations in Europe. Dean does a masterful job of weaving the personal accounts into the historical context of the major operations. With so few WWII veterans left, books like these are valuable resources.-Rich Killblane, Author of "The Filthy Thirteen; From the Dustbowl to Hitler's Eagle's Nest: The 101st Airborne's Most Legendary Squad of Combat Paratroopers.- Dean Dominique's new book, "One Hell of a War," knocks it out of the ballpark and is one of the best books I've read...You won't be able to put it down.-Andrew Z. Adkins, III author of "You Can't Get Much Closer Than This: Combat with Company H, 317th Infantry Regiment, 80th Division."

  • - The Crying Heart
    av Zak Maymin
    240,-

    Who owns your promise? Can you ever break your word? Can a promise be based on a lie? This is the second book in the "Ethics Morals Laws" series A. The books of the series are discussions' initiators consisting of exercises, quotes, and fairy tales. Each exercise poses a question about a conflict in a simple everyday situation. The child is asked to make a moral judgment on the conflict and explain his or her position. This is an entertaining and educational series of children's books on ethical, moral, and legal issues. This series develops and stimulates child's critical thinking in a controlled environment. Moral values shouldn't be hammered into children's brains. Instead, children should be allowed and encouraged to question those values from the earliest age. These books will extend and enhance school's teaching because the modern educational system normally does not encourage independent thinking and shies away from questioning ethical, moral, and legal issues. Critical thinking is the most important tool a child must have to develop to his or her full potential, to successfully compete with others, and to leave a significant impact in the world. Critical thinking is crucial in developing strong ethical and moral values, and in defending them against the most skillful attackers on child's life's path. The central concept in this series is Truth. Normally Truth is not discussed in any educational setting beyond the most trivial dogmas: "Don't lie!" But Truth is probably the most charged ethical and emotional subject. People's careers and personal relationship have been destroyed since ancient times with one sentence that everybody on Earth has been shocked to hear one time or another in their life: "You lied to me!" Truth is not just one of the most important subjects, but it's also a method and a framework. To successfully study any other subject and to be able to distinguish between truth and the lies, the child must develop his or her reverence for inner truthfulness. The child should be encouraged and trained to approach any subject not by trying to figure out what is expected of him or her to say, but by trying to figure out the truth. Michael Faraday, one of the best physicist of all time, once explained most of the contemporary physics by writing a book on the subject of a candle. Just a candle! Why? He wrote: "There is not a law under which any part of this universe is governed which does not come into play and is touched upon in these phenomena. There is no better, there is no more open door by which you can enter into the study of natural philosophy than by considering the physical phenomena of a candle." In this series, Truth plays the role of Faraday's candle as a gateway to studying all other ethical, moral, and legal issues. Truthfulness is the most important characteristic of an individual. It is also the most important characteristic of society. We live at a time when political correctness takes over. People are afraid to speak truthfully. Politicians keep breaking their promises and we keep electing them. The truth is under attack. People are viciously attacked personally and sometimes physically if they try to have an honest discussion of ethical, moral, or legal issues. People are called names, and have their character and reputation destroyed just for asking questions. Truth is like blood in society. Telling the truth is like pumping the blood and in healthy societies that should not be prevented. This series is a small step to encourage free truthful discussions. No topic in normal, healthy societies should be off limit. Truthful discussion of ethical, moral, and legal issues with your children is the best gift you can give them. Ages 4-12.

    To know God is a lifelong quest for many. To know God personally is our God-given opportunity and privilege. He makes it possible for us to walk with Him in our daily lives, enjoy His presence, experience His power, know His love, have His peace, and live with fulfillment and true joy! In Knowing God Personally, these are some of the things you will discover: How God makes himself known to us; Why God cares about us and wants to have a personal relationship with us; What one thing separates us from God; How we can know God by his attributes and what they are; Why our earthly fathers have an influence on our image of God; How to trust God more and the rewards of knowing God more intimately; How our relationship with others affects our relationship with God; How knowing God leads to true joy and fulfillment; That developing a relationship with God takes time and is an investment for life; That we have a spiritual heritage as children of God and we belong to His family; Why God wants us to have abundant joy; And much, much more on how a personal relationship with God can enrich our life!

    Introducing young children to bodily autonomy can be tricky, especially when what's fun with one person doesn't work with another. I Like Tickles shows a young child looking for animals' signals, listening to people's words, and knowing that even if they like a hug sometimes, they don't have to offer it every time; a variety of situations allows caregivers the chance to talk about the preferences of the children, pets, and adults in their children's worlds. Respect and listening are emphasized.

    Khalid was born to be a great leader of men. Growing up as one of three brothers in a military family, he always played commander to his brothers' soldiers. After honing his skills as a soldier, his natural leadership qualities and courage on the battlefield made him a natural choice as commander of the cavalry. This book charts his career as an illustrious and successful warrior, Khalid, first against the Muslim army, and later as leader of the Muslim army. This change of heart was something even the mighty warrior couldn't resist. His greatest struggle took place within his own heart. Influenced first by his brother's conversion to Islam, and secondly by his personal encounter wit the noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, Khalid could not resist the call of Islam, and became a Muslim. The story goes on to tell how, thanks to his victories in battle, Islam spread rapidly through Arabia and Syria. Khalid won a fearsome reputation as "the Sword of Allah" and, under the blessed Prophet's guidance, fought his greatest battles to win wars, but also to win people's hearts and bring the beautiful religion of Islam to all humanity. Throughout his life, Khalid was the personification of the advice he gave to his soldiers: "Patience is the highest virtue; defeat is feebleness; victory is only won with patience."

    The Family in Islam is one such book of Imam Shirazi's where he highlights the problems he sees primarily in Islamic societies today from the phenomenon of unmarried young men and women through to birth control and contraception. He calls for a return to the simplicity he experienced in his youth and draws our attention to the Islamic teachings and laws in this vital area of life. As well as being a call to the Muslim world to revert to the true teachings of the Qur'an and the Prophet and Imams, this book can also be of use as an introduction to others who seek some answers to the social problems of today. Islam has detailed teachings, which promise success in every area of human life on individual and societal levels, and what's more their practicality has been historically proven despite being under constant attack from the outset until the present day. It was not so long ago that Islam was berated for allowing divorce, which is religiously permitted and spoken about in great detail in the Qur'an, yet now it has been adopted by the very societies that formerly forbade it. However picking and choosing Islamic teachings to suit fashion or whims is not the key to success. Rather the key to success is to implement the Islamic ideology in all areas of life by following God's guidance for mankind. 'They follow guidance from their Lord and they are the ones who will prosper.'

    I stood in the centre of the room. Transfixed with all the surrounding paraphernalia and toys at my disposal. A surge of excitement was coursing through my veins faster than cocaine travels up a celebrity's £50 note.Through the floor to ceiling windows, I could see the reflection of the bright, July summer sun, glistening off the roof of my Range Rover. Blurred vapours of heat rose from its bonnet, slightly distorting the image of open farmland behind it.I hate the summer. I detest the frivolity and laziness of it. Bring on the autumn. Hurry along and taint the leaves golden brown and decline the temperature. Wash me with cold, stinging, English rain and biting frosts that enliven the nerve endings like a back handed slap from the house prefect.The gun room at Frankie Lottrell's is quite superb, adorned with lashings of walnut, sumptuous leather and polished metals. It could be a Madame's dungeon.Across the back wall I surveyed several items of temptation. All in perfect alignment and pristine. Shotguns, in 50 shades of grey, black and brown, handcrafted and engraved by master craftsmen.But then, I froze. Totally absorbed in the image captured by my eyes. She was an image of total elegance and I was transfixed instantly. Her subtle elegance drew me in like a training collar on a spaniel. I had to have her. Right then, right now and forever.Christ, I hope I have remembered my shotgun certificate.

  • - An epic tale of Genghis Khan and his beloved twin stallions
    av Catherine T Pigg
    158

    The twin stallion story originated from the old Mongolian language, when it was still a spoken language rather than a written one. They would share stories from generation to generation, the story changing and growing each time. This story developed around the 13th century in the form of a poem. This story was translated from Mongolian to Russian by B. Sodnom in Ulaanbaatar, Mongol in the mid 1930's. This story and all stories about Genghis Khan were forbidden at this time by the government installed by the Soviets. B. Sodnom is my father and just as he translated this tale back then I am now translating this story to English with my daughter Catherine Pigg - taking literary license to fit today's understanding. Our goal is to acquaint the general public with a sample of ancient Mongolian literature. The Great Genghis Khan shared a deep love and appreciation for his horses as they had helped him in countless battles and hunts. The Great Khan spent many years traveling from Mongolia towards Europe, the Mediterranean, northern India and across China. The twin stallions grew older during this time of travels; their legs carried them across the Middle East through numerous storms, all the way from the Mediterranean Sea to the eastern European Mountains. This story is an epic of how Genghis reacts when his two beloved horses run away from home, as well as the story of twin brothers. The youngest who longs for attention and appreciation for his hard work has a rebellious notion to run away due to a lack of appreciation, whereas the oldest feels grateful for the Great Khan and does not wish to run away. The youngest runs away and the eldest begrudgingly follows concerned for his brothers safety. After a long period of time the eldest was homesick for his mother and his owner, Genghis. His heartbreak persuaded the younger brother to return to the herds of the Great Khan
