Secret Powers and Why We...

Manly P. Hall

Secret Powers and Why We Shouldn't Use Them by Manly P. Hall is a thought-provoking exploration of the hidden abilities within human consciousness and the moral, ethical, and spiritual implications of their misuse. Drawing from esoteric traditions, philosophy, and psychology, Hall delves into the nature of these powers, such as clairvoyance, telepathy, and other psychic phenomena, emphasizing their potential to disrupt personal and universal harmony if wielded irresponsibly. Through a balanced perspective, he advocates for self-discipline, ethical development, and a commitment to spiritual growth as prerequisites for engaging with these latent abilities. The work serves as both a cautionary tale and an invitation to introspection, encouraging readers to align with universal principles of integrity and wisdom before attempting to unlock their hidden potential.

Mellon vs Churchill - The Untold...

Jill Eicher

Andrew Mellon, one of the most accomplished businessmen of his era, is almost unknown today. To this shy, diffident (but brilliant) man fell the daunting task of collecting the war debts from European governments still devastated by WWI and struggling to recover economically. Dealing with the US Congress and the heads of foreign governments on the world stage became one of the great adventures of his life. Winston Churchill is one of the best-known figures in history. Mellon vs. Churchill presents Churchill through a different lens, focusing on his service as Chancellor of the Exchequer when Great Britain was the largest debtor to the US. That he became the most vocal critic of American foreign policy during that time is a scarcely told chapter of economic history—and his contentious debate with Mellon has seldom been explored. 
 
 
 
Yet, while Churchill served as Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mellon was his counterpart at the US Treasury, and their debate and fierce differences of opinion about the handling of what Churchill called "the monstrous war debts" made frequent headlines on both sides of the Atlantic. No mention of any of their five meetings are included in the official biographies of either man. Now these confrontations are brought to vivid life in Mellon vs. Churchill, as are many other vignettes from their public, but largely forgotten, rivalry.

Matthew - The World English...

Authors Various

The Gospel of Matthew is the first book of the New Testament of the Bible and one of the three synoptic Gospels. It tells how Israel's Messiah, Jesus, comes to his people and forms a community of disciples, of how he taught the people through such events as the Sermon on the Mount and its Beatitudes, and how Israel becomes divided and how Jesus condemns this hostile Israel. This culminates in his departure from the Temple and his execution. At this point many people reject Jesus, and on his resurrection he sends the disciples to the gentiles.
