The God of His Fathers

Jack London

The God of His Fathers: Tales of The Klondyke, It was written by Jack London in the 1919 year. 
As a young man in the summer of 1897, Jack London joined the Klondike gold rush. From that seminal experience emerged these gripping, inimitable wilderness tales, which have endured as some of London's best and most defining work. With remarkable insight and unflinching realism, London describes the punishing adversity that awaited men in the brutal, frozen expanses of the Yukon, and the extreme tactics these adventurers and travelers adopted to survive.
This is more literary, a deeper examination of the human condition, and a homage to the beauty, purity and ease with which one can lose one's life to nature, the elements or other fellow travelers.

My Walk With The Lord - Salvation

Jose Maldonado

Growing up in the Bronx, Jose Maldonado thought he had life figured out. Between childhood games and family bonds, everything seemed simple enough. But as he got older, questions started creeping in. Why do people suffer? What's the point of it all? Before long, confusion turned to anger, and anger turned to a desperate search for something real. In ‘My Walk with the Lord,’ Jose takes you through his powerful journey from emptiness to faith. This isn't your typical feel-good spiritual book. It's the real story of a man who hit rock bottom, questioned everything he believed, and found himself in places he never expected to be. From unfulfilling relationships to nights spent in jail, from watching too many funerals to that life-changing moment in Connecticut when everything shifted, Maldonado shows you what it actually looks like to wrestle with doubt, to feel abandoned, and to slowly discover that maybe, just maybe, there’s something bigger than yourself calling your name. This book is dedicated to Jose’s son, his family, and every soul searching for truth. He prays from the depths of his heart that readers will come to know there is something beyond this life. If you take nothing else from this book, let it be this: follow the Lord, build your own relationship with Him, and receive salvation. ‘My Walk with the Lord’ will meet you right where you are and walk with you from there.

He knew the legendary Kray twins and killer Frankie Fraser once threatened to snuff him out him over a game of chess.

So what happened to the missing £135 million?
