The Root of All Evil by Roberto Costantini Pdf

In the 1960s, post-colonial Libya fell prey to the sprawling industrial greed of the West, driven by the discovery of oil. While the modern quarter of Tripoli, built by the Italians, was small and affluent, the rest of the city--like the rest of the nation--was left to fend for itself amid the arid, sandy stretches of North Africa. As tensions mounted between eastern and western ideals, terror began to supplant justice, and acts of religiously motivated violence began to fill some of Tripoli's darkest corners. Against this backdrop, the teenaged Michele Balistreri--a smart young man plagued by thuggish tendencies and a youthful attraction to Fascism--suffered a succession of personal blows that would scar him for life: the death of his mother; a terrible tragedy that befell his best friend's family; and the consequences of his father's role in Gaddafi's rise to power. Worst of all, an innocent blood pact he made as a teenager would come to haunt him as an adult. Four decades later, journalist Linda Nardi is hard at work investigating the shadowy history of the Vatican Bank's involvement in Libya when she suddenly finds her attention diverted to an irresistible story assignment: covering the collapse of Colonel Gaddafi's forty-two year dictatorship. It is only a matter of time before Nardi's research and Balistreri's investigative work as a police commissario bring them into contact. Together they unearth a deadly conspiracy that goes to the top of Rome's power structure that neither of them will ever be able to forget.

Root of All Evil? by Ray Keating Pdf

Do God, politics and money mix? In ROOT OF ALL EVIL? A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL by Ray Keating, the combination can turn out quite deadly. Keating introduced readers to Stephen Grant, a former CIA operative and current parish pastor, in the fun and highly praised WARRIOR MONK. Grant returns in ROOT OF ALL EVIL? - a breathtaking thriller involving drug traffickers, politicians, the CIA and FBI, a shadowy foreign regime, the Church, and money. Charity, envy and greed are on display, with the action running high. In this second edition of ROOT OF ALL EVIL? A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL, Ray Keating has written an author introduction focused on some of the challenges of penning a political thriller, including maintaining an edge-of-your-seat feel while not annoying the reader with the petty real world of politics. Keating also talks about how some key characters fit into ROOT OF ALL EVIL, as well as how his own experiences fed into the story?

Race The Root Of All Evil by Anna Zubrytska Pdf

While much of the country is experiencing a radical increase in racial tension, division and strife, regions within San Diego, California are experiencing quite the opposite. Statistical data provided by a private research firm suggest that San Diego is emerging as a national leader, when it comes to diversity and inclusion, ranking #2 in the nation. Over 20 cities within San Diego have earned an "A rating in diversity" by Niche a data analytics firm that monitors and ranks diversity in cities throughout the nation. On nearly every dimension: socially, economically and educationally, conditions have improved for minorities living in San Diego. In a small way Dr. Martin Luther King's Dream has become a reality right in America's finest city. How did San Diego achieve this milestone? During this period of unprecedented change one of its residents, Spiritual teacher, Author and Filmmaker Eric Gibson, conducted a unique social experiment. Assisted by Psychology Professor Ulla Anderson and Dr. Lee Martin of the human genome project, Eric Gibson gave lectures on the college circuit, considering topics from the Mythology of Race to inspiring peace within the unified field of consciousness. When you can inspire an entire community to reconnect with their authentic selves, free of a race based consciousness, the ego is silenced naturally with very little effort. This powerful influence of peace radiates into the entire population, opening awareness to the infinite reservoir of peace that lies deep within everyone. Now is my opportunity to share the good news with you. Within the pages of this book lie the answers to the race problem that has been the cause of much trauma to the human family. The Gordian knot (unsolvable problem) has been solved. We're not out of the woods yet but at least now, we can see the forest through the trees.

The Root of All Evil by David A. Farrow Pdf

A serial killer is terrorizing Charleston. The third young woman, a tourist like the others, has been brutally murdered in her hotel room, the body mutilated. And once again, the killer has removed the victim’s heart. This is the work of someone with an agenda far darker than anything Charleston police detective Harry Holmes has faced before. This killer leaves behind a macabre signature: Entwined in the women’s hair is a strange, scraggly, odd-shaped root. Detective Holmes has no traceable DNA, not even a bloody footprint - only one thing to link the crimes: the murdered women had all taken a tour with Charleston writer and tour guide, Andrew Rutledge. And Rutledge, scion of an old Charleston family, is experiencing bizarre dreams and blackouts. Set against the luxuriant background of historic Charleston’s exceptional beauty and centuries-old customs, The Root of All Evil weaves a haunting and suspenseful tale of the awe-striking power of good and evil. “When darkness stares you right in the eye, all you can do is stare right back.” "David Farrow's novel of Charleston history, mystery and witchcraft kept me wide-eyed and spellbound. It kept me reading late into the night and listening for ghostly footsteps on the stairs." Charles Kuralt "...in the best tradition of Stephen King, Clive Barker and Dean Koontz, the end of the novel is as much a surprise as the beginning." Georgetown Times "There's violence, a little bit of sex, some rough language and a whole lot of Charleston... entreating and engaging..." The State
