Come with me on an adventure of a lifetime as I push my way into the heart of the American dream to see what it’s all about and to see if there is even such a thing.
REBEL. PHILOSOPHER. BODYBUILDING ICON. Mike Mentzer was a strikingly handsome man with a brilliant mind and a “perfect” physique — the first bodybuilder to receive a perfect score in both amateur and professional competitions. In the late ’70s, Mentzer rose to the very top of his sport (despite the efforts made by industry power brokers, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger), was featured in GQ magazine, and profiled on national television. But he was also a man who wrestled with mental illness his entire life and ended up living on the streets and being sent to prison. Just when it seemed his career was over, he found it within himself to reboot his intellect and revolutionize bodybuilding training, arguing bodybuilders should not forsake their mental development in favor of developing their bodies. He became a pariah in the fitness industry (which only cared about selling supplements and other products) but a hero to legions of fans who earnestly sought truth. Mike Mentzer: American Odysseus is the first biography of Mike Mentzer to appear in North America written by his close friend of 21 years, John Little, “one of the leading fitness researchers in North America” (Iron Man magazine). Drawing upon audio recordings, letters, diary excerpts, as well as interviews with those closest to him, this is the true story of one man who stood up to an entire industry — and paid the ultimate price.Voir livre
What if the Bible you know isn’t the complete story? Throughout history, many sacred texts were removed, suppressed, or lost—until now. The Lost Books of the Bible restores some of the most important ancient writings once cherished by early believers. These powerful texts offer missing pieces of biblical history, alternative perspectives on familiar figures, and heartfelt prayers excluded from traditional scripture. This modern translation makes these forgotten works accessible while preserving their spiritual and historical depth. Included Texts: • Additions to Esther – Expands Esther’s story with prayers and divine intervention • Prayer of Azariah and Song of the Three Young Men – A hymn of faith from the fiery furnace • Susanna (Daniel 13) – A tale of virtue, injustice, and divine judgment • Bel and the Dragon – A dramatic confrontation exposing false idols • The Letter of Jeremiah – A prophetic warning against idolatry • Psalm 151 – A lost psalm of David, rediscovered in the Dead Sea Scrolls Whether you’re a student of scripture, a spiritual seeker, or simply curious about what was left out, The Lost Books of the Bible opens a window into the sacred writings that once shaped early faith. These texts challenge and enrich our understanding of the biblical tradition. Rediscover the lost pages of sacred history—begin your journey today.Voir livre
This true crime history chronicles more than a century in the life of a small Midwestern city with an outsized reputation for violence and vice. Gambling, prostitution, and bootlegging have been going on in Steubenville for well over century. In its heyday, the city's Water Street red-light district drew men from hundreds of miles away, as well as underage runaways. The white slave trade was rampant, and along with all the vice crimes, murders became a weekly occurrence. This revealing history chronicles the rise of Steubenville's prodigious underworld from the 1890s to the modern day. By the turn of the century, Steubenville's law enforcement seemed to turn a blind eye, and cries of political corruption were heard in the state capital. This scenario replayed itself over and over again during the past century as mobsters and madams ruled and murders plagued the city and surrounding county at an alarming rate. Newspapers nationwide would come to nickname this mecca of murder "Little Chicago."Voir livre
Theodore John Kaczynski (May 22, 1942 - June 10, 2023), also known as the Unabomber, was an American mathematician, serial killer, and domestic terrorist. A mathematics prodigy, he abandoned his academic career in 1969 to pursue a reclusive primitive lifestyle and lone wolf terrorism campaign. Kaczynski murdered three people and injured 23 others between 1978 and 1995 in a nationwide mail bombing campaign against people he believed to be advancing modern technology and the destruction of the natural environment. He authored a roughly 35,000-word manifesto and social critique called “Industrial Society and Its Future” which opposes all forms of technology, rejects leftism and fascism, advocates cultural primitivism, and ultimately suggests violent revolution. The following recording is from a 1999 prison interview.Voir livre
