    The international conspiracy explained. 
     
    The best single work available on the evil conspiracy that has been responsible for the devastating wars and continuing conflicts of the past century. They are now close to its ultimate goal of total world domination through a dictatorial one world government. William Guy Carr, a noted author who had a distinguished career as a Canadian naval officer, including outstanding service during World War II, in this work of shocking revelations, shows how the conspiracy of atheistic-materialistic men have manipulated world events to secure ultimate control of the wealth, natural resources and man-power of the entire world. This satanic conspiracy, Carr goes on to show, strives to abolish Christianity and all religions, dismantle all ordered national governments, weaken patriotism, and destroy traditional family life. 
     
    Pawns in the Game traces the history of the great conspiracy and the World Revolutionary Movement, showing the roles of the Illuminati, the Freemasons, the Communists, and the United Nations. 
     
    This book shows the conspiracy as part in the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Communist takeover of Russia, and World War II. In carrying out their long-range plan, Carr shows how the conspirators have come ever closer to reaching their goal through infiltration of key centers of power and influence, by gaining control of central banks, the world money supply, and manipulate the media. 
     
    In this important rousing book, the author sounds the alarm to awaken Christians and patriots to the grave danger of World War Three and an oppressive New World Order. He presents practical measures to expose, counter and ultimately defeat the forces of evil.

    During the 1960s and 1970s, the images of two men came to dominate the iconography of left-wing movements: Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. The story of the revolution these two men led in Cuba became a fable that drove and encouraged other revolutionary movements around the world. 
    The Cuban Revolution is certainly astonishing. Beginning with fewer than 100 armed men, the Fidelistas took on a government that had a well-equipped army, air force, and navy. On paper, the handful of rebels stood no chance. Yet somehow, holed up in the remote Sierra Maestra mountains, this tiny group not only survived but grew in support and power until it was finally able to overthrow the brutal and corrupt government of Fulgencio Batista. 
    How did that happen? How were these men able not just to prosecute a successful revolution in Cuba but to take such a hold on the hearts and minds of people that they became among the best-known revolutionaries in the world? This is the astonishing story of the Cuban Revolution.

    You don't have to be healed to start living. 
    We live in a world obsessed with self-improvement. Fix this. Heal that. Guard your heart. Protect your peace. But what if what we call "healing" is sometimes just another way of hiding? What if we're so busy trying to repair ourselves that we forget to live? 
    In For the Love of God, Stop Healing & Just Start Living, Debra Wilson invites you to rethink everything you've been taught about healing. Writing from clarity rather than crisis, she challenges the belief that healing must come before living and offers a quieter truth: living is often what heals us. 
    Through seven chapters, this book explores emotional agility, boundaries without bitterness, releasing old stories, and reclaiming peace without shutting down. Each chapter ends with gentle reflections, not as homework, but as invitations to pause, breathe, and reconnect with what you already know. 
    This is not a self-help book. It's a mirror. A reminder. A release. 
    Want a place to write as you listen? The Companion Journal for this audiobook gives every reflection question from the book its own page, plus space to write what you're ready to release. Get it at: DFW Publishing | Faith-Inspired Books, Journals & Gifts 
    Because you don't have to be fully healed to be fully alive.

    The Amateur Hour - A History of...

    American college teaching is in crisis, or so we are told. But we've heard that complaint for the past 150 years, as critics have denounced the poor quality of instruction in undergraduate classrooms. Students daydream in gigantic lecture halls while a professor drones on, or they meet with a teaching assistant for an hour of aimless discussion. The modern university does not reward teaching, so faculty members at every level neglect it in favor of research and publication. In the first book-length history of American college teaching, Jonathan Zimmerman confirms but also contradicts these perennial complaints. Drawing upon a wide range of previously unexamined sources, The Amateur Hour shows how generations of undergraduates indicted the weak instruction they received. But Zimmerman also chronicles institutional efforts to improve it, especially by making teaching more "personal." As higher education grew into a gigantic industry, he writes, American colleges and universities introduced small-group activities and other reforms designed to counter the anonymity of mass instruction. They also experimented with new technologies like television and computers, which promised to "personalize" teaching by tailoring it to the individual interests and abilities of each student.But, Zimmerman reveals, the emphasis on the personal inhibited the professionalization of college teaching, which remains, ultimately, an amateur enterprise. The more that Americans treated teaching as a highly personal endeavor, dependent on the idiosyncrasies of the instructor, the less they could develop shared standards for it. Nor have they rigorously documented college instruction, a highly public activity which has taken place mostly in private. Pushing open the classroom door, The Amateur Hour illuminates American college teaching and frames a fresh case for restoring intimate learning communities, especially for America's least privileged students. Anyone who wants to change college teaching will have to start here.
