  "If there's a God, I want to see Him. It's pointless to believe in something without proof, and Krishna consciousness and meditation are methods where you can actually obtain God perception. In that way, you can see, hear and play with God. Perhaps this may sound weird, but God is really there next to you." 
   
  “"My life belongs to Lord Krishna now. I’m just the servant of Krishna. I’ve never been so humble in all my life, and I feel great!” 
  — George Harrison 
   
  Although George Harrison often insisted he was only a regular guy, there is quite a lot of evidence to the contrary. Throughout his often magical, turbulent, unlikely life, he selflessly raised millions for charity and still does via the good works of his charity, The Material World Foundation. Harrison was, too, the grandfather of world music, introducing audiences to be exquisite, ethereal complexity of both Indian music and the spiritually liberating Sanskrit mantras from the Vedic scriptures. Harrison was also instrumental in turning a global audience to ethical vegetarianism, reincarnation, and the Hare Krishna philosophy. 
   
  In this expansive collection, there are no journalists getting in the way of the purity of George’s expansive ideas and his carefully told personal history. Here is George Harrison truly in his own words, speaking across the waters of time to generations of dedicated fans still deeply moved by this simple man’s great music, philosophical importance, and well-deserved historical significance. 
   
  Here is then the absolutely perfect collection of George Harrison’s finest thoughts, recollections, and untold Beatles tales important to the collection of every fan. George Harrison MBE was an English musician and singer-songwriter who achieved international fame as the lead guitarist of the Beatles.

  This is a compilation of 2 different titles, which are about the following topics: 
  1: You may have heard about him: Attila the Hun. Let's discover who this individual actually was and why he has such a bad track record of being a callous, aggressive conqueror in the first millennium after Christ. Attila the Hun was the ruler of the Huns from the year 434 till his death in the month of March in the year 453. Also, he was the leader of a tribal realm which consisted mainly of Huns, Ostrogoths, Alans and Bulgars, to name a few, in Central Europe and in Eastern Europe. 
  In this guide, you will learn more about the wars, his enemies, the battles around Rome, his life, his death, and his legacy. Some of the information about his has been falsely attributed to certain details because of how much has been lost in historical records, but we can still get a slightly accurate image of who he was, what he did, and why he has become such an infamous figure. 
  2: Genghis Khan was the Mongol emperor who has expanded his region to the biggest empire on the face of the earth ever. His empire stretched from East Asia all the way to various European countries, the Middle East, and beyond. 
    
  What made Genghis Khan so successful? 
    
  Was he a brute, rapist, and pillaging dictator, or did he have a tolerant side as well? 
    
  How do the people in Mongolia see him, or the people in China? 
    
  All o these questions and more will be answered in this comprehensive overview of the history of Genghis Khan. You will learn more about his early life, his relationships, marriage, families and children, his attacks, his unification of the Mongolian Federations, his death, succession, and the continuing of the Mongolian Empire after his death.

  The Magic Circle

  I sit by your bed and watch you, as I sometimes do. There are days when you are so beautiful and vivacious and alive, we cannot believe that you are going to die. Other days, we are convinced you are at death's door and that this, this is the day that we will lose you … Now I bear witness to the disease that is eating you up alive, ravaging your physical shell. I look at your wasted body, once so slim and graceful; at the jaundiced pallor of your once perfect skin stretched tight around the still lovely bones of your face; at the way shadows collect in the hollows around your eyes and your collarbones. And very slowly, inside me, something small starts to crack. A tiny fissure that spreads and widens, before splitting open entirely to let something hot and liquid well up like molten lava, threatening to spill out the sides of my mouth, as rich and bitter and metallic as blood. Is this then what heartbreak feels like?

  Loretta Lynn is a living legend. From walking around barefoot in clothing repurposed from flour sacks in rural Kentucky to becoming an icon with more awards than any other woman in country music, many may wonder just how Loretta Lynn paved this path for herself. While hard work, natural talent, and having certain people in her life surely contributed to her success, her story is so unique it seems as if it was written by fate.  
  A mother of six and now a grandmother to dozens, Lynn never lost sight of her values or what drove her. She had a calling to relay what was real and a desire to create a secure life for her family. She believes in horoscopes and is proudly an Aries; with her ambition and gifts, she could not be stopped. While Lynn is hesitant to call herself a feminist, her bravery and perseverance opened doors for many more women in country music. She also challenged stereotypes associated with the genre through living her beliefs about tolerance, honesty, and fairness. 
  This biography will explore the meaning and process behind some of her music and how the people and circumstances that shaped her led to her extensive list of awards and accolades. It will also seek to provide insight into how her world view, natural gifts, and personality traits drove her successes.
