Former Delta operator Patrick Darwin leads Phalanx Security's best private security team, running protection details with Cal Wafer, former SEAL Team Six sniper, and Gabe Henderson, former Detroit SWAT assaulter. They're rotating out of Baghdad when VIP client Martin Lindy demands immediate protection along the Texas/Mexico border, where he and his crew are spending tax dollars building a virtual fence. Sounds like a paid vacation. Then they run into Maro, a Cuban expatriate trained by the Soviets to kill Afghans. Now he's a mercenary working for the Luna Cartel, protecting drug shipments and dismembering troublemakers with his Russian entrenching shovel. On the hostile line in the sand between Texas and Mexico, Maro fights for money and the hell of it, using brutal guerrilla tactics to get what he wants. No way these new boys are going to stop him. But he's never fought a crew like Darwin's before--Maro and his cartel lords better prepare for a level of professional warfare they have never seen.
The Tiananmen protests and Beijing massacre of 1989 were a major turning point in recent Chinese history. In this new analysis of 1989, Jeremy Brown tells the vivid stories of participants and victims, exploring the nationwide scope of the democracy movement and the brutal crackdown that crushed it. At each critical juncture in the spring of 1989, demonstrators and decision makers agonized over difficult choices and saw how events could have unfolded differently. The alternative paths that participants imagined confirm that bloodshed was neither inevitable nor necessary. Using a wide range of previously untapped sources and examining how ordinary citizens throughout China experienced the crackdown after the massacre, this ambitious social history sheds fresh light on events that continue to reverberate in China to this day.

Satan actually has a role to perform on Earth. He provides us with first-hand knowledge of how much authority can be granted to an angel in Heaven. God uses him to correct the folly of humankind, specifically when we are off track, pushing us beyond the comfort and light of God. Discomfort is not always the indication of sin; rather, sin is living outside the light of God. Sin is the result of crimes against God, others, and ourselves... The Testimony of Satan will give you a clear look into what your enemy has and has not been doing throughout history. Through I real life experience that took a man deep into darkest to have an encounter with the greatest manipulator. Only to develop a super natural understanding of how we continue to assist our worst enemy. This is probably not for the weak minded and those who can take a little constructive criticism, but for the one who welcomes an opportunity to grow. The Testimony of Satan will open your eyes to faults and show you how the enemy has been blocking you from being who you were created to be.... I believed in myself more than God, and thought myself better than He Who Is Everything. Satan speaks "As the thought was developing in mind to cast God, who I felt unworthy of His own opulence, influence, and exuberance out of the Kingdom of Heaven, immediately I was cast out... as if by my own hand... in that Michael and the others under God were of the same source, same spirit, but not same will... I was the problem... and I had to be removed... My removal was quicker than lightning appears and descends, yet my fall continues to this day... Ever since that moment, I realized I would never receive a second chance. But judge me not- for if you were in my position... well, most of you would have done the same thing... As a matter of fact, a number of you prove it here on this very planet. You return to your own vomit as a dog or a clean sow wallowing in the mud... You revel in sin and look upon rebelliousness as revolution when they are not one in the same... and all because of pride, believing you deserve it... You are so fortunate to be given more than one chance. Only if you knew how much dominion and authority you have been granted as the children of God. If only you had the highest level of understanding, then and only then would you know a portion of my knowledge, and see the folly of humankind is embedded in your very creation, but not your salvation from being more like... me... I won't waste too much of my time trying to pull you toward me... unless you would be an extraordinary addition to my dominion... Most of you simply serve me by being drawn toward my entrapment of freedom whereas the Creator demands servitude in order to set you free. I tempted the Christ in the wilderness. I surely did. Yet, I knew- as he knew- since he and the Creator are one in the same that it was not the best use of my time. Christ knew who I was with a recollection of over millennia, long before his corporeal vessel came into being. Christ knew who he was long before all of us, both mortal and immortal knew who he truly was or rather "Who" lies within Him and in Whom he lies. I fled from Him, not solely because he was the Christ, but because He was and is God-in-Christ. I was like a rogue knight retreating from the eternal king... powerless to his omnipresence, omnipotence, omniscience... and above all... His grace...."

"I spoke only what I saw and it found a way to stay in my presence". This book gives us a clear description about how our own tongue gets us into a situation. The title "voluntary slave" has very smartly described the entire book in the two words. This book is a compilation of the power the tongue possesses over us human beings. Each person on this earth is an individual with their mind and their own perception of things. Everyone has a life and each one of us humans face a number of troubles in our lives. As one goes through the book, they can get a clear perception of how our tongue affects our daily lives. It is how we handle situations that are important and not so much how we get into the situation. The tongue can be the reason a person lives in slavery and one's tongue can be the reason why a person enjoys endless freedom. The most interesting part of the book is that not only does the author point out the reason for our seemingly difficult lives, but he also goes a great length in providing suitable and logical solutions to get a better shot at living a beautiful life. This book can serve as the ultimate solution for the continuous whining of people who claim to have the worst possible life. The good news is that this book will be a path to freedom for all that embrace it. About the author: Jeremy Brown has written a number of very provoking and interesting books in his career. He has a talent of pointing out the biggest problems in life with ease and put them on paper with his beautiful skill of words. He has received immense popularity for his passionate style of writing that often is entwine with words bringing forth a deeper connection with God.
Within seven chapters, the number 40 becomes a path, a portal to releasing wisdom from within. This wisdom is released via the Formula 40 Days and 40 Nights. Throughout points of faith, philosophy, and fulfillment, the number 40 has been the means to literal and figurative foundations upon which individuals have lived and died and in many ways, been resurrected both in lore and life. It is at the point of the spirit and mind that all people pass through different stages measured by points and time. At these benchmarks, people are assessed along certain degrees of innate and acquired knowledge. The division of 40 has proved to be a point of reasoning and duration upon which enlightenment, punishment, temptation, and redemption have become the focal point of human condition. We all have a purpose. We reach this purpose not solely through learned knowledge but through self-edification and the true meaning of education. Formula 40 Days and 40 Nights makes one consider the word edification rooted in aedificare, Latin for "to build, to erect, or instruct". Following this consideration, is the notion that education - educare comes from Latin meaning "to drive out". From these points, we see there is a clear path to peace of mind and the ease of heart through the interplay of gaining knowledge and sharing wisdom. What and how are we building and what we truly drive out is based in our innate and spiritual capacity to learn, analyze, synthesize, apply, and share. How we best come to this point of equilibrium and sense of community is based in our ability to reach back into the past in order to erect a greater future. This act is done through prayer or meditation. From this meaning of opening our deeper psyche and spiritual eye, we can better comprehend and experience the compensation of positive thinking, avoid negative influences, reward ourselves and celebrate our originality and accomplishments, serve others, and truly reap the benefits and growth generated via forgiveness. It is true that there are a variety of numbers that hold similar if not equal influence over world societies such as 3, 5, 7, 8, and 10, but it is the number 40 which has been influential in so many aspects of world civilization from science to religion to philosophy. 40's application goes from the most minute concepts to the most magnificent. 40 is a number that doesn't simply reveal divisions or levels, but grave amounts of time for growth through strife, triumph, and often times, forgiveness and reconciliation. Within the concept of Formula 40 Days and 40 Nights, there is the point of reaching goals through re-educating ourselves by way of the 4R's. These 4R's are to "Resist", to "Replace", to "Record", and to "Refresh". By following the process of Formula 40 Days and 40 Nights any bad habit can be transformed to the point that you will have to retrain your mind to develop the bad habit again.
