Death for Dummies by Stephen Ellis Pdf

A satirical take on the classic zombie genre. Paul Shobnall was the first of the dead to rise. He didn't know he was the first and probably wouldn't have cared if he had. If he was concerned with anything at all, it was why he couldn't really feel his legs, why his girlfriend didn't seem to want sex with him anymore and why everybody was gripped by mass-hysteria and generally running around screaming. It was a really odd Monday morning. With no particular craving for human flesh, or toast, Paul struggles to make sense of a post apocalyptic society, while a post apocalyptic society struggles to make sense of the ever increasing dead who continuously block revolving doors and fail to queue in an orderly fashion. Maybe Robert Thompson can sort it out. Having been shot in the head, he does what anybody else with a huge personal fortune and half a brain does; he goes into politics. Or maybe, Robert Thompson has much darker and destructive plans...

Big Dummies of the Bible by Stephen M. Miller Pdf

Have you ever done something so dumb you wince at the thought of it? Well, you're not alone. The Bible is full of characters who made some shockingly dumb moves. Here are a few examples: A guy who sold his right to his family's estate for a bowl of soup. The couple who had the pleasure of having no rules, no boundaries--except one . . . a rule they decided to break anyway. The guy who fell in love with a woman who clearly was doing her best to have him killed. In Big Dummies of the Bible, bestselling author Stephen Miller shows readers some shockingly dumb moves by men and women of the Bible. Yet thousands of years later, we're still making the same mistakes, and the results often turn out to be as grievous now as they were for these biblical characters. Miller teaches us how to avoid these mistakes and the inevitable accompanying pain and heartache.
