Giantkillers by Henry Scammell Pdf

In 1986, with contractors stealing an estimated 10 percent of the total federal budget by fraud, Congress passed a newly strengthened anticorruption law. Ordinary citizens could file lawsuits on behalf of the government to recover money stolen from the public treasury, and they would share in the result. In the years since, the False Claims Act has emerged as one of the nation's most potent weapons against corporate greed. Giantkillers is the story of that law: why it was needed, how it works, who brought it back to life, how it has survived the many attempts to kill it, and what it has accomplished. Charged with intrigue and courtroom drama, Giantkillers describes how an unlikely team--a conservative senator, a liberal congressman, and a crusading public interest attorney--revitalized one of America's oldest public interest laws that was gutted by lobbyists and almost forgotten. Recounting the battles for justice with a novelist's eye for their human drama, Scammell tells how the trailblazing firm of Phillips and Cohen gave the law back its teeth and made triumphant heroes out of those previously scorned as whistle-blowers.

Secrets of Greatness by Dr. Barrington O. Burrell Pdf

In Secrets of Success, Dr Burrell provides us with a route map to success of the very highest order, consistent with the greatest model of success known to us, Jesus Christ. Based upon an intimate study of the Old and New Testaments, and a lifetime’s work as a pastor, and drawing together such disparate threads as psychology, biology, history and motivational dynamics, Dr Burrell gives his readers a meticulous and definitive explanation of the essence of greatness and how it is within the capability of each and every one of us to achieve more than we ever thought possible. A thorough and passionate exploration of what it means to be great, using examples of great men and women through the ages, Secrets of Success decries the notion that true success lies in power, money and status, and illustrates instead that the pinnacle of human achievement is attainable only through the transformative and healing power of our relationship with God. In each chapter and section, the author shines a light on a different aspect of the process of becoming what we are destined to be in the Creator’s great plan for us, and illuminates the spaces through which we all must travel on our journey to greatness. Dr Burrell explores his subject with the keen mind of a scholar, the compassion of a man of God and the tenacity of a warrior, and has written a book which is as uplifting as it is useful. It is a book which can only fill us with hope for the future. Secrets of Greatness is a corrective for our secular age – a spiritual book in materialistic times - and a tonic for all those who thirst for a different measure of success than is commonly presented in our media.

Giant Killers by Tim Hall Pdf

The motionless form of a giant of Gath lay face down on the battlefield of Shochoh and blood from his forehead seeped into the earth below his face. The great intimidator Goliath, champion of Philistia, lay motionless. His terrifying words had ceased. A smooth stone from a shepherd boy's sling was embedded in his skull. Goliath was finished. For the shepherd boy David, it was a giant-sized step into the awesome place of destiny that God had ordained for him. It was a step from obscurity and rejection to kingly dominion, fame and wealth, global and eternal influence. It was a step that was ultimately felt as Messiah took His place in history establishing His Kingdom on Earth. Like David, an army of giant killers has been prepared by God for this hour. Often with small flocks and in lonely places of isolation, rejection and insignificance, this body of men, women, boys and girls is receiving its training for the most fruitful, significant time ever planned for world history. The giants we face are not going to destroy us. We are not their prey. They are ours. They are food for us. They are to be swallowed up by God's anointed champions, by the mighty power indwelling us. They are "our breakfast", strengthening our resolve to step up to each new day. Giant Killers will empower YOU, the everyday believer as YOU take on the Giants that YOU face in life. Tim Hall is a dynamic evangelist who has a passion to see souls saved and lives changed by the power of the Holy Spirit. Walk with Tim Hall as he guides you to experience the miraculous power of God in your life.

Giantkiller by Ariele Sieling Pdf

Jack has finally arrived on Rove City, after spending three months on a ship overflowing with other refugees from Jord. The only problem is, Rove City was not expecting them, and is not prepared to manage the influx of people fleeing the destruction of their home. In addition, Jack is still struggling with the affects of the Stalk's intrusion into her mind—rather than decreasing, the symptoms seem to have gotten worse throughout the journey. To compound all this, when Jack seeks out the family she left behind years ago, she learns that her mother is dead and her sister has been imprisoned for crimes against the queen. And when Ace asks Jack to testify to finish bringing down the Solv Company, Jack starts to think that her only option is to leave Rove City again, this time forever. As Jack tries to navigate this new world on board Rove City, manage the worsening symptoms of the Stalk's influence, and figure out what's going on with her sister, she begins to realize that though the Stalk might be gone, there are much, much worse things to take its place.
