Skull in the Ashes by Peter Kaufman Pdf

On a February night in 1897, the general store in Walford, Iowa, burned down. The next morning, townspeople discovered a charred corpse in the ashes. Everyone knew that the store’s owner, Frank Novak, had been sleeping in the store as a safeguard against burglars. Now all that remained were a few of his personal items scattered under the body. At first, it seemed to be a tragic accident mitigated just a bit by Novak’s foresight in buying generous life insurance policies to provide for his family. But soon an investigation by the ambitious new county attorney, M. J. Tobin, turned up evidence suggesting that the dead man might actually be Edward Murray, a hard-drinking local laborer. Relying upon newly developed forensic techniques, Tobin gradually built a case implicating Novak in Murray’s murder. But all he had was circumstantial evidence, and up to that time few murder convictions had been won on that basis in the United States. Others besides Tobin were interested in the case, including several companies that had sold Novak life insurance policies. One agency hired detectives to track down every clue regarding the suspect’s whereabouts. Newspapers across the country ran sensational headlines with melodramatic coverage of the manhunt. Veteran detective Red Perrin’s determined trek over icy mountain paths and dangerous river rapids to the raw Yukon Territory town of Dawson City, which was booming with prospectors as the Klondike gold rush began, made for especially good copy. Skull in the Ashes traces the actions of Novak, Tobin, and Perrin, showing how the Walford fire played a pivotal role in each man’s life. Along the way, author Peter Kaufman gives readers a fascinating glimpse into forensics, detective work, trial strategies, and prison life at the close of the nineteenth century. As much as it is a chilling tale of a cold-blooded murder and its aftermath, this is also the story of three ambitious young men and their struggle to succeed in a rapidly modernizing world.

830 Prophecies for the Head by Tella Olayeri Pdf

The head is the engine control power house of the body with enormous and fantastic functions. If it ceases to work or performs poorly, the body is useless. To avoid this, the body needs constant spiritual and and physical checkups. To live long and be in great shape we should have away to communicate with God, our sole Creator. This we can do through prophesy by applying appropriate spiritual antidotes against wicked powers that may ‘eat up’ the Head and turn it useless. This can be addressed with this destiny changing book. I pray as you prophesy good things into your life this day, you shall experience wonder working power of Jesus. Amen.

Country Of My Skull by Antjie Krog Pdf

The first free elections in South Africa's history were held in 1994. Within a year legislation was drafted to create a Truth and Reconcilliation Commission to establish a picture of the gross human rights violations committed between 1960 and 1993. It was to seek the truth and make it known to the public and to prevent these brutal events ever happening again. From 1996 and over the following two years South Africans were exposed almost daily to revelations about their traumatic past. Antije Krog's full account of the Commission's work using the testimonies of the oppressed and oppressors alike is a harrowing and haunting book in which the voices of ordinary people shape the course of history.

Criminal Gods and Demon Devotees by Alf Hiltebeitel Pdf

The Hindu sacred order is guarded by the very gods who violate it and the demons who oppose it. This book is a who's who of such transgressive figures, both familiar and unfamiliar, showing their place within the Hindu order that they violate. It is also a reflection of the serious scholarly debate over the nature and composition of this Hindu order. The chapters range from pan-Hindu deities such as Bhairava and Virabhadra to guardian gods of specific regions and lineages and of different goddess cults. Chapters cover violent themes in SAaivite hagiography, the position of Brahmans in relation to cultic carnivorism, guardian heroes in folk epic, the deified dead, the royal mythology of a "criminal caste," and a wide-ranging overview of transgressive sacrality.

70 Seventy Days Prayer and Fasting Programme 2022 Edition by Dr. D. K. Olukoya Pdf

Patterned after the annual feasts of the Tabernacle, the annual 70 days of fasting and prayer program is an annual spiritual sacrifice that cannot but yield power and breakthroughs given the covenant that backs it up. "We give all the glory to the Lord for what He has been doing with our annual Seventy days prayer and fasting programme. The Lord has used the programme to: Ignite the fire of revival in thousands of lives, put stubborn pursuers to flight, produce prayer eagles, open chapters of prosperity for many, confuse satanic dribblers and put the enemies' gear in reverse. Prayer is of great value in turbulent and non-turbulent situations. Prayer is a necessity not an option." "Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by PRAYER AND FASTING" (Matt 17:21).

The Beautiful Noise in My Head by Christopher Higgins Pdf

The Beautiful Noise in My Head is a journey through Caribbean waves and the spirits that occupy the coconut trees. This book of poetry travels the world and generations. It unearths the voices of ghosts, which had been lost for a while. With each poem, a vast amount of emotions will be incited in the reader, leaving a casualty of feelings to be reconciled. The book revisits the doorsteps of slaves and fallen victims of the streets. It exposes the candy stealer of the wealthy and gives independence to poor people's fingers. These voices that were circumcised at birth will finally be able to sit at the table and enjoy the same meal as a result of the words that perfume each page of this book. From the revealing "Conversation with a Whiteman" to the provoking "Hollywood Crack House," The Beautiful Noise in My Head travels at a high-rate speed never letting the reader take a breath. They are the sounds the author heard while the quiet became loud with each step taken in a foreign land.
