The road to the Oscars may be golden, but it's paved in blood, sweat, and broken hearts.In Oscar Wars, Michael Schulman chronicles the remarkable, sprawling history of the Academy Awards and the personal dramas-some iconic, others never-before-revealed-that have played out on the stage and off camera.

"The Seven Gates of Righteous Knowledge" is the long-awaited, practical guide to attaining spiritual growth and inner peace as a Righteous Gentile. Written in clear and concise terms, it provides the objective moral foundation for anyone seeking a closer personal connection and relationship with our Creator. The authors adapted universal teachings from classic texts (the Hebrew Bible, Talmud, Midrash, Mishneh Torah, and Chassidic insights) for enlightenment of the general public about the direct path to great advancements in personal and collective spiritual standing. Rather than being part of a specific religion, this is the faith-based knowledge that has been meant for all people from the earliest Biblical times. The book presents the fundamental principles and character traits, attitudes, actions, and goals in life that will reveal how a person is truly created in the image of God. It is written to be a highly valuable resource on its own, or as an ideal study companion for the growing number of people worldwide who accept and follow the Seven Noahide Commandments that were given by God for Gentiles of all nationalities and cultures.
