Book Description
Rarely does one have the opportunity to take a journey through someone else's life. Especially a life that witnessed some of modern history's most significant events. Imagine someone who lived during the sinking of the Titanic, the first radio broadcast, man landing on the moon and the introduction of the Internet, not to mention both World Wars and at least a half dozen other major military conflicts--all in a single lifetime. The life experience of George W. Huff, "Joe," were every bit as varied and colorful as the changes in the world around him. Come along as the stories unfold one after the other, decade by decade. Witness first-hand how God orchestrates an extraordinary series of events through the life of an ordinary man, just as He did so often with people of the Bible. Joe describes in his own words, recorded years before his death, how God protected him time and time again, forgave him of his transgressions and transformed his life into one of service resulting in a legacy that would last for all eternity.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 418

Book Description
His contemporaries called him Wild Bill, and newspapermen and others made him a legend in his own time. Among western characters only General George Armstrong Custer and Buffalo Bill Cody are as readily recognized by the general public. In writing this biography, Joseph G. Rosa has expressed the hope that "Hickok emerges as a man and not a legend." For this comprehensive revision of his earlier biography of Wild Bill the author was allowed to work from newly available materials in the possession of the Hickok family. He also discovered new material pertaining to Wild Bill’s Civil War exploits and his service as a marshal and found the pardon file of his murderer, John McCall. Additional, rare photographs of Wild Bill are published here for the first time. The results of Rosa’s additional research make this second edition the best biography of Wild Bill likely to be written for years to come.

After Hardship Cometh Ease

Author: Ze'ev Maghen
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3110910470
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 261

Book Description
Islam prides itself on being “the religion of facility”. Muslim sources are unanimous in assigning to Judaism the role of counterweight in this regard, pronouncing it a system of “burdens and shackles” by which the Jews “oppressed their souls”. This neat polarity both fueled, and was the product of, a fascinating reciprocal process: at the same time that sharī'a was being created in the negative image of halakha, halakha was being retroactively re-imagined by Muslim jurists and exegetes as the antipode of sharī'a . Although scholarly studies of the intertexture of Islam and Judaism abound, few have touched upon the Muslim tradition’s perception and utilization of Jewish law, and none has done so in depth. This book aims to fill that lacuna and further our understanding of the age-old embrace and grapple between the two faiths.

Get Capone

Author: Jonathan Eig
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1439199892
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 498

Book Description
The real story of how the federal government finally apprehended and convicted America’s most notorious criminal, Al Capone. Drawing on recently discovered government documents, wiretap transcripts, and Al Capone’s handwritten personal letters, New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Eig tells the dramatic story of the rise and fall of the nation’s most infamous criminal in rich new detail. From the moment he arrived in Chicago in 1920, Capone found himself in a world with limitless opportunity. Within a few years Capone controlled an illegal bootlegging business with annual revenue rivaling that of some of the nation’s largest corporations. Along the way he corrupted the Chicago police force and local courts while becoming one of the world’s first international celebrities. Legend credits Eliot Ness and his “Untouchables” with apprehending Capone, but Eig shows that this wasn’t so. In Get Capone, the man known as “Scarface” emerges as a complex man, doomed as much by his ego as by his vicious criminality. This is the real Al Capone.
