God created you to be you, not someone else. So why do we so often settle for less? Why do we bow to the pressure to conform to others’ expectations of us rather than boldly being the person we were meant to be? Why do we pretend to be satisfied with average, ordinary . . . common? What would it be like if we actually believed God desires to do something extraordinary with our lives?

Free Download Rogue Male: Death and Seduction Behind Enemy Lines with Mister Major Geoff. by Roger Field and Geoffrey Gordon-Creed By Roger Field, Geoffrey Gordon-Creed
2011 | 384 Pages | ISBN: 1444706330 | EPUB | 4 MB
This is the untold story of one of the most lethal and successful soldiers of the Second World War – a highly decorated hero as well as a self-confessed rogue. In the tank war in the desert of North Africa, Major Geoff, as he came to be known, quickly showed himself a soldier of superb athleticism, unwavering will to win and almost superhuman instincts when it came to survival and outwitting the enemy. Almost incredibly he won the Military Cross on his very first day in action. He fought alongside the SAS in its early days and was with them while they were forging the ruthless fighting techniques that have made them feared throughout the world. He played a decisive role in the Greek resistance to German occupation. While in Greece he also became involved in some of the dirtiest hand to hand fighting of the war. To the men with whom he fought shoulder to shoulder he was ‘Saint Geoff’, to his enemies he was the devil incarnate, a man who would stop at absolutely nothing, and to his critics among the partisans he a was a womanizer, more interested in enjoying himself than killing the enemy.This is an honest account of winning the war not by fair play but by being more ruthless than your enemy. But maybe what is even more extraordinary than his soldiering – its predatory ruthlessness and amorality – is the frank account of sexual adventuring that went with it. This is how the dogs of war really behave when they are let off the leash. ‘Thrilling (and even classic)…parachuted as a saboteur into Greece, where he stayed for over a year, doing heroic mischief against the Nazis, and not exactly improving the morals of the local Greek women. There’s no doubting that this is the record of a hero – albeit one in the Flashman mode.’ A.N. Wilson – Reader’s Digest ‘Major Geoff is a brave, blithe adventurer in ruthless, resourceful action, as opportunistic and vigorous in the theatre of war as in the bedroom’ Times ‘Former army officer Roger Field pieces together Major Geoff’s unpublished journals and letters in this uncut version of World War II. Most riveting of all is the Major’s account of the destruction of the Asopos Viaduct in occupied Greece – this is Boys’ Own stuff at its best.’Daily Mail ‘War heroes come in all shapes and sizes, but I’ve rarely come across any as charismatic as Geoffrey Gordon-Creed…A maverick and prodigious womaniser, it’s no surprise to learn he was a friend of Ian Fleming and was reputedly one of the models for James Bond. ‘ Mail on Sunday

Free Download Jean Sasson, "Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arab"
English | 2010 | pages: 304 | ISBN: 0967673747 | EPUB | 0,8 mb
Sultana is a Saudi Arabian princess, a woman born to fabulous, uncountable wealth. She has four mansions on three continents, her own private jet, glittering jewels, designer dresses galore. But in reality she lives in a gilded cage. She has no freedom, no control over her own life, no value but as a bearer of sons. Hidden behind her black floor-length veil, she is a prisoner, jailed by her father, her husband, her sons, and her country.Sultana is a member of the Saudi royal family, closely related to the king. For the sake of her daughters, she has decided to take the risk of speaking out about the life of women in her country, regardless of their rank. She must hide her identity for fear that the religous leaders in her country would call for her death to punish her honesty. Only a woman in her position could possibly hope to escape from being revealed and punished, despite her cloak and anonymity.Sultana tells of her own life, from her turbulent childhood to her arranged marriage-a happy one until her husband decided to displace her by taking a second wife-and of the lives of her sisters, her friends and her servants. Although they share affection, confidences and an easy camaraderie within the confines of the women’s quarters, they also share a history of appaling oppressions, everyday occurrences that in any other culture would be seen as shocking human rights violations; thirteen-year-old girls forced to marry men five times their age, young women killed by drowning, stoning, or isolation in the women’s room, a padded, windowless cell where women are confined with neither light nor conversation until death claims them.By speaking out, Sultana risks bringing the wrath of the Saudi establishment upon her head and te heads of her children. But by telling her story to Jean Sasson, Sultana has allowed us to see beyond the veils of this secret society, to the heart of a nation where sex, money, and power reign supreme.
