E.M. Forster's 1924 political and philosophical masterpiece, 'A Passage to India', is among the greatest novels of the twentieth century. The book mirrors the troubled politics of colonialism and questions whether a friendship between a British person and an Indian would have been possible in those prejudiced times. Adela Quested and her fellow British travelers, set to experience the 'real' India, develop a friendship with the suave Dr. Aziz. A mysterious incident occurs while they are exploring the Marabar Caves, and the trip results in a shocking accusation on the well-respected doctor that throws Chandrapore into a fever of racial tension and results in a devastating series of events, revealing how deeply the bigotry has taken root. A powerful depiction of a society in the grasp of imperialism, 'A Passage to India' portraits the future of individuals caught between the major political and cultural conflicts of the modern world.

An important theme in A.W. Tozer's ministry was the subject of God's will for each of our lives. He wrestled with it from the time he was a new Christian until the day he passed into eternity. Throughout A Cloud by Day, A Fire by Night he discusses the battles Christians face almost every day. He frames these battles as taking place in Canaan, as he calls it the land of promise where we are living today. Tozer could look at something so negative and find positives from a spiritual point of view.So much in life can bring us to that point of discouragement where all we want to do is quit, especially when God's will for us is unclear. This book is about more than finding God's will for your next step or decision in lifeit is about following His will to the end. With only our human resources, following God would be impossible. But when we cross that line into the deeper life, we enter into the grace of God that enables us to do His will.About the Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer was an American evangelical pastor, speaker, writer, and editor.

The purpose of the first portion of this book is to show, through actual true stories, how imagining creates reality. You do not command things to appear by your words or loud affirmations. Such vain repetition is more often than not confirmation of the opposite. Decreeing is ever done in consciousness. Every man is conscious of being that which he has decreed himself to be.ABOUT THE AUTHOR:Neville Goddard is well known as one of the most influential teachers and writers of metaphysical work.

Poirot Investigates is a collection of eleven short stories involving the famed eccentric detective; first there was the mystery of the film star and the diamond... then came the ';suicide' that was murder... the mystery of the absurdly chaep flat... a suspicious death in a locked gun-room... a million dollar bond robbery... the curse of a pharoah's tomb... a jewel robbery by the sea... the abduction of a Prime Minister... the disappearance of a banker... a phone call from a dying man... and finally, the mystery of the missing will.Hercule Poirot is one of Agatha Christies most famous and long-running characters. Relying on his little grey cells to solve crimes, he is notably meticulous in his personal habits and his professional methodology. He appears in Christies first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, and in dozens of subsequent books, including some of Christies best-loved works, such as Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile. Poirot is most things that the conventional sleuth is not. He is witty, gallant, transparently vain, and the adroitness with which he solves a mystery has more of the manner of the prestidigitator than of the cold-blooded, relentless tracker-down of crime of most detective stories.About the Author:Agatha Christie, in full Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie, ne Miller, (born 15th September 1890, Torquay, Devon, England died 12th January 1976, Wallingford, Oxfordshire), English detective novelist and playwright whose books have sold more than 100 million copies and have been translated into some 100 languages.Educated at home by her mother, Christie began writing detective fiction while working as a nurse during World War I.
