In the Third Reich, the SS ran the Gestapo, the police and the concentration camps where millions of people were killed. However Nazi Germany still had laws and a legal system which outlawed murder and other criminal acts and SS Investigating Judge and Police Official SS, Major Konrad Morgen, used these laws to investigate and bring individual members of the SS to justice for their crimes against innocent victims. He was a fearless judge and investigator, and when he crossed swords with more powerful forces inside the SS he was demoted and sent by the Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler himself to the Eastern Front as an ordinary soldier in the Waffen SS. But his investigative skills were still needed and he returned to launch a series of criminal investigations in concentration camps. As a direct result of his investigations two concentration camp commandants were shot before the end of the War and he arrested three others. This book describes the cases he investigated and how he was able to pursue some of Nazi Germany's worst murderers from inside the SS.

Acclaimed by many as Australia's greatest prime minister, John Curtin overcame alcoholism and a troubled relationship with the Scullin Labour Government to win the Labor leadership by one vote in October 1935. Rescuing the Labor Party from division and humiliating defeats in 1931 and 1934, he put it in a position to win in the years after 1937. A constructive wartime Leader of the Opposition, he engineered the creation of an Advisory War Council to help minority Coalition and Labor governments manage a divided House of Representatives. From October 1941 he steered his wartime Labor Government through perhaps the greatest strategic challenge that Australia has ever faced. In doing so, he led Labor to one of its most emphatic electoral victories in 1943 and put his party in a position to enshrine long-held aspirations such as national control of banking and provision for a welfare state. His death in July 1945 was met with a national outpouring of grief that underlined the extent to which Curtin had been recognised as a national leader above party.

Sunday Morning Stick Up What your Pastor doesn't want you to know about tithes A Must Read for anyone who pays 10% tithes or gives money to a Leader, Pastor, Charity, Non-Profit Organization or Church There is an undertow of frustration finely hidden beneath the delicate fabric of today's Christian experience. We call her Church, The Bride of Christ. Forlornly, she looks nothing like the church of yesterday. Conflicted in her existence and compromised in her expressions, she bears the name of the heavenly father, but oftentimes demonstrates the characteristics of His adversary. She hurts wounds and defrauds as many as who hope to receive healing and help from her hands. 2000 years ago, Jesus confronted her leaders and revealed two very significant observations as He stood in her courts armed with only a whip & passion. SUNDAY MORNING STICKUP, is that whip and passion of today. Jesus's Public Confrontation * Evaluation #1 - My house shall be called a house of prayer * Evaluation #2 - You have made it a den of thieves These accusations, once heralded by the savior in her sacred courts more than 2000 years ago, have manifested themselves into full blown, undeniable crimes committed in broad daylight. Worst of all, this stickup takes place like clockwork, primarily on Sunday mornings. Star struck, many have given in to larger than life personalities, and have cast aside the genuine leading of God's Spirit. She (the church) exhibits signs of swelling to the exorbitant totals of 10,000 to 30,000 plus members all gathered together in one place, but real growth escapes her. Her pews are filled with former members of other churches as opposed to newly converted sinners. Sunday Morning Stickup reveals that there are no scriptures that support Christians paying tithes. After embracing this scripturally guided tour through this important subject, you will realize, you do not have to feel guilty about not paying tithes. As modern ministry redefines herself throughout the world, focusing on souls has been replaced with a focus on $.O.U.L.$. ($atisfying Our Unrestrained Lust for $tuff). The term for this is Lasciviousness and can be found in St. Jude 1:4 For years, the preachers would tell us "You must give God your life." Today that message has been drowned out by "God wants you to be wealthy, but first, you must give Him your best offering." You have been told that paying tithes is of the utmost importance to being blessed by God. But ask yourself, "What do I really know about tithing?" As you ponder this thought, you are beginning to realize that many have talked about tithing, but no one has really ever taken the time to teach you specific truths about it. SUNDAY MORNING STICKUP will teach you these truths. After reading this book you will be able to answer the following questions: What is the true essence of tithing? Is tithing required? Am I cursed if I do not tithe? Does it really take millions of dollars to win souls to Christ? Is it ok for the Pastor to live lavishly while his members struggle with the decisions of paying bills vs. buying food? Is church "Big Business"? If my family is in need, do we qualify for assistance from our church? Is it ok to use my tithe to help those who are in need? LET YOUR JOURNEY TO FREEDOM BEGIN! Author, David Lee

Liu Zhi (c.1662-c.1730), a well-known Muslim scholar writing in Chinese, published outstanding theological works, short treatises, and short poems on Islam. While traditional Arabic and Persian Islamic texts used unfamiliar concepts to explain Islam, Liu Zhi translated both text and concepts into Chinese culture. In this erudite volume, David Lee examines how Liu Zhi integrated the basic religious living of the monotheistic Hui Muslims into their pluralistic Chinese culture. Liu Zhi discussed the Prophet Muhammad in Confucian terms, and his work served as a bridge between peoples. This book is an in-depth study of Liu Zhi's contextualization of Islam within Chinese scholarship that argues his merging of the two never deviated from the basic principles of Islamic belief.
