Drunk with Blood: God's Killings in the Bible
Completely Revised Second Edition with 23 new killings from the Apocrypha.Drunk With Blood includes a separate account for each of God's 158 killings. These stories fill the pages of the Bible, yet they are seldom read in church and are ignored by most Bible believers, which is a shame because God is so proud of his killings: "I kill ... I wound ... I will make mine arrows drunk with blood and my sword shall devour flesh." Deuteronomy 32:39-42You've probably hear of a few of God's killings. Noah's Flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, David and Goliath, maybe. But there are over 150 others that are unknown to pretty much everyone, believer and nonbeliever alike. Did you know, for example, that God: *Forced friends and family to kill each other for dancing naked around Aaron's golden calf?*Burned Aaron's sons to death for offering him strange fire?*Burned complainers to death, forced the survivors to eat quail until it literally came out their noses, sent "fiery serpents" to bite people for complaining about the lack of food and water, and killed 14,700 for complaining about his killings? *Buried alive those that opposed Moses (along with their families)?*Burned 250 men to death for burning incense?*Rewarded Phinehas for throwing a spear though the bellies of an inter-tribal couple while they were having sex?*Ordered, assisted in, or approved of dozens of complete genocides? *Accepted human sacrifice in the cases of Jephthah's daughter and Saul's seven sons?*Helped Samson murder thirty men for their clothes, slaughter 1000 with the jawbone of an ass, and kill 3000 civilians in a a suicide terrorist attack? *Smote the Philistines of several cities with hemorrhoids in their secret parts?*Killed a man for trying to keep the ark of the covenant from falling and 50,070 for looking into the ark?*Approved when David bought his first wife with 200 Philistine foreskins? *Killed King Saul for not killing every Amalekite as he told him to do?*Slowly killed a baby to punish King David for committing adultery?*Killed 70,000 because David had a census that he (or Satan) told him to do?*Sent a lion to kill a prophet for believing another prophet's lie, another lion to kill a man for not smiting a prophet, and some more lions to kill people that didn't fear him enough?*Killed 450 religious leaders who lost a prayer contest with Elijah and burned 102 men to death for asking Elijah to come down from his hill?*Sent two bears to rip apart 42 boys for making fun of Elisha's bald head?*Killed 27,000 Syrians by having a wall fall on them, sent an angel to kill 185,000 sleeping soldiers, interfered in human battles to kill a half million Israelite and a million Ethiopian soldiers?*Killed King Ahab for not killing a captured king, and then sent King Jehu on a series of mass murders to kill all of Ahab's family and friends who had ever "pissed against a wall?" *Killed Jehoram by making his bowels fall out?*Killed Job's ten children in a bet with Satan?*Killed Ezekiel's wife and told him not to mourn her?*Killed Ananias and Sapphira for not giving Peter all their money?*Killed King Herod by feeding him to worms?All of these killings, and more, are found in the Bible, and their stories are told in the 2nd Edition of Drunk With Blood.

Forged in Deceit is a mystery of art forgery and theft, and of the strength necessary to rise from the mistakes of your past to redeem your life and your character.Jake Daniels is a man haunted by his past mistakes. Once considered a talented young artist, he and a friend, Luc Benoit, challenged their artistic abilities with a game: to see who could re-create the most accurate replicas of famous paintings. They were so good at this, in fact, that Luc managed to get one of his fakes accepted in a gallery as a work by the Impressionist artist Edgar Degas. When an art collector (also one of a small network of art thieves) purchased the painting, Luc was trapped. Would he admit to the forgery and ruin his career or stay silent? Jake stepped up and claimed that the forgery was one of his. From this event, Luc was spared, Jake was attacked and seriously injured - his reputation as an artist ruined - and their friendship living in Paris with Lily O'Connell (Jake's lover) ended.Now, back in his hometown of Baltimore, Jake has withdrawn into anger and guilt and is working as an art conservator in the museum world to build a new life and new reputation.The novel opens five years after these events, when Jake is suddenly pulled from his new life. Luc has come from Paris to see him and to ask his help. He needs Jake to keep something for him for a few days. Reluctantly, Jake accepts.Jake's acceptance sets in motion a series of events that takes him to Paris, to the French countryside, and eventually to the town of Ghent, Belgium - home to one of the art world's most revered works: the Altarpiece of the Mystic Lamb by Jan van Eyck.Even Jake, who has grown angry and cynical of the art world over the last five years, is still shocked and emboldened by what he uncovers there.Forged in Deceit reveals some of the secrets of classic art forgers, as well as the more hidden secrets that allow someone to rise from an aimless anger and find the strength for redemption.

As U.S. strategy shifts (once again) to focus on great power competition, Strategy Shelved provides a valuable, analytic look back to the Cold War era by examining the rise and eventual fall of the U.S. Navy's naval strategy system from the post-World War II era to 1994. Steven T. Wills draws some important conclusions that have relevance to the ongoing strategic debates of today. His analysis focuses on the 1970s and 1980s as a period when U.S. Navy strategic thought was rebuilt after a period of stagnation during the Vietnam conflict and its high water mark in the form of the 1980s' maritime strategy and its attendant six hundred -ship navy force structure. He traces the collapse of this earlier system by identifying several contributing factors: the provisions of the Goldwater Nichols Act of 1986, the aftermath of the First Gulf War of 1991, the early 1990s revolution in military affairs, and the changes to the Chief of Naval Operations staff in 1992 following the end of the Cold War. All of these conditions served to undermine the existing naval strategy system. The Goldwater Nichols Act subordinated the Navy to joint control with disastrous effects on the long-serving cohort of uniformed naval strategists. The first Gulf War validated Army and Air Force warfare concepts developed in the Cold War but not those of the Navy's maritime strategy. The Navy executed its own revolution in military affairs during the Cold War through systems like AEGIS but did not get credit for those efforts. Finally, the changes in the Navy (OPNAV) staff in 1992 served to empower the budget arm of OPNAV at the expense of its strategists. These measures laid the groundwork for a thirty-year "strategy of means" where service budgets, a desire to preserve existing force structure, and lack of strategic vision hobbled not only the Navy, but also the Joint Force's ability to create meaningful strategy to counter a rising China and a revanchist Russian threat. Wills concludes his analysis with an assessment of the return of naval strategy documents in 2007 and 2015 and speculates on the potential for success of current Navy strategies including the latest tri-service maritime strategy. His research makes extensive use of primary sources, oral histories, and navy documents to tell the story of how the U.S. Navy created both successful strategies and how a dedicated group of naval officers were intimately involved in their creation. It also explains how the Navy's ability to create strategy, and even the process for training strategy writers, was seriously damaged in the post-Cold War era.

We've come to believe that the body can handle the abuse that comes with these sports, but it can't. Before we get carried away with the culture of excess that has been assigned to exercise in this country, let's remember that exercise is not always good for you, and make sure that our young people don't get the wrong idea from the model that's been set: no, your body is not invincible and yes, exercise can truly hurt you. Instead of succumbing to what Barrer calls "the cult of exercise" that follows the mantra "no pain, no gain," how about some common sense? Pain is the body's way of telling us to stop. In a clear, friendly, and compelling voice, Barrer surveys exercise and sports that are commonly practiced--yoga, boxing, football, hockey, soccer, skiing--and informs the reader knowledgeably and conscientiously about the injuries that can result. When was it decided that exercise could only be good for you? Leading neurosurgeon Dr. Steve Barrer argues--based on an extensive career treating exercise-related injuries, a cornucopia of his own personal injuries from exercise over the years, and ample scientific data--that we ought to change the way we think about exercise in this country.

How Capitalism Will Save Us: Why Free People and Free Markets Are the Best Answer in Today's Economy
Has capitalism failed?Is it fundamentally greedy and immoral, enabling the rich to get richer? Are free markets Darwinian places where the most ruthless crush smaller competitors, where vital products and services are priced beyond the ability of many people to afford them?Capitalism is the world's greatest economic success story. It is the most effective way to provide for the needs of people and foster the democratic and moral values of a free society. Yet the worst recession in decades has widely--and understandably--shaken people's faith in our system. Even before the current crisis, capitalism received a "bad rap" from a culture ambivalent about free markets and wealth creation. This crisis of confidence is preventing a full recognition of how we got into the mess we're in today--and why capitalism continues to be the best route to prosperity. How Capitalism Will Save Us transcends labels such as "conservative" and "liberal" by showing how the economy really works. When free people in free markets have energy to solve problems and meet the needs and wants of others, they turn scarcity into abundance and develop the innovations that are the foremost drivers of economic growth. The freedom of democratic capitalism is, for example, what enabled Henry Ford to take a plaything of the rich--the car--and transform it into something affordable to working people. In the capitalist system, economic growth doesn't mean more of the same--grinding out a few more widgets every year. It's about change to increase overall wealth and give more people the chance for a better life.
