Download or read book The Son King written by Madawi Al-Rasheed and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2018, journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi regime operatives, shocking the international community and tarnishing the reputation of Muhammad bin Salman, the kingdom's young, reformist crown prince. Domestically, bin Salman's reforms have proven divisive, and his adoption of populist nationalism and fierce repression of diverse critical voices--religious scholars, feminists and dissident youth--have failed to silence a vibrant and well-connected Saudi society. Madawi Al-Rasheed lays bare the world of repression behind the crown prince's reforms. She dissects the Saudi regime's propaganda and progressive new image, while also dismissing Orientalist views that despotism is the only pathway to stable governance in the Middle East. Charting old and new challenges to the fragile Saudi nation from the kingdom's very inception, this blistering book exposes the dangerous contradictions at the heart of the Son King's Saudi Arabia.

Book excerpt: Previously published in hardcover as King's Cross The most influential man to ever walk the earth has had his story told in hundreds of different ways for thousands of years.

It is an unforgettable look at Jesus Christ, and one that will leave an indelible imprint on every reader.

Book excerpt: Marie, Maria, Marcelle, May, Mary, Maggie ... and the Duke of WindsorEdward, known to his inner circle as David, was the eldest son of King George V and Queen Mary of Teck. Within the family he was often referred to as Young David - a title he abhorred. He was invested as Edward, Prince of Wales on his sixteenth birthday, just nine weeks after his father, King George V, succeeded his grandfather as king in 1910.In 1936, upon the death of his father, Edward succeeded him as King Edward VIII. In the shortest reign in the last 450 years of British Kings and Queens, Edward abdicated 236 days later in favour of his brother when the British Government refused consent to his proposed marriage to Wallis Simpson. The American socialite had already divorced one husband who was alive and being still married, was intending to divorce her current husband to allow them to marry.As a young man, David served with the British Army in France during the First World War. In the years following, George V's relationship with his eldest son and heir, deteriorated. The king became increasingly disappointed in David's failure to settle down in life and was appalled by the continual reports of his very public relationships with mainly well-known, but married women.The first of his many trysts over the years, however, was quite different - his first not only continued as a love affair for nearly three years but resulted in the birth of a son in Paris in 1916 whilst the Prince was on active service in France... and remained a close-held secret. This is the incredible true story of the only son of Edward VIII ‒ later to become the Duke of Windsor and marry Wallis Simpson.

Book excerpt: THE KING'S SON (The Evidence) [1st Edition - before "The Answer"] This is the ultimate cold case, a 120 year old mystery hidden in plain sight. This book pieces together the evidence that William James Shepherd was most likely the eldest son of King George V. The case is built-up and includes clues that lead to a clear path forward - readied for a compelling conclusion and full resolution to the mystery. This is a story of intrigue and challenge about a man who left enduring clues during his lifetime about his origins. They were left in a subliminal manner, and at times it was like participating in a movie somewhat like the "Da Vinci Code", with clue after clue being uncovered together with their meaning. The evidence is presented about William Shepherd and how he mysteriously arrives in Australia via unassisted paid passage on a ship having just turned 17, with enough money in his pocket that enables him to purchase a farm within a year. He also arrives with the skills to be able to play the Double Bass and then goes on to become Australia's No. 1 performer. And yet in 1901, just six years earlier he is Census listed as a "Pauper" (age 10) in a London Workhouse orphanage straight out of the pages of the book "Oliver Twist". William throughout his life, due to his looks and mannerisms, is often compared to King George V's acknowledged sons - King Edward VIII and King George VI (i.e. the man portrayed in the movie "The King's Speech"). DNA tests are used to set a test to prove the link. The suspense as to whether it is true or not - and the patience needed to try to obtain a DNA match; makes for a very interesting twist. So based on the evidence collected and presented in this book ....... Was William James Shepherd indeed "The King's Son"? Please read on .......

Book Synopsis Growing Up King by : Dexter Scott King
Download or read book Growing Up King written by Dexter Scott King and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2003-01-07 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the bestselling tradition of such family portraits as Brooke Hayward's Haywire and Christopher Dickey's Summer of Deliverance comes a disarmingly candid memoir from the youngest son of Martin Luther King, Jr. Dexter King was only seven when an assassin's bullet took his father's life, shattering the boy's childhood. And as he stumbled into adolescence, both the tragedy and the weight of living up to "the King legacy" would exact an additional toll. Challenged with undiagnosed A.D.D. and rocked once again by his grandmother's murder, King became emotionally isolated and, in his early 30s, sought answers from an inspiring source: the teachings of Martin Luther King, Jr. Now, in this intimate portrait, Dexter King reveals for the first time what it was like growing up in the shadow of greatness, and how his father's lessons continue to inspire and inform his own ideas on race in America today.
Book Synopsis King and Messiah as Son of God by : Adela Yarbro Collins
Download or read book King and Messiah as Son of God written by Adela Yarbro Collins and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2008-11-03 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the history of the idea that the king and later the messiah is Son of God, from its origins in ancient Near Eastern royal ideology to its Christian appropriation in the New Testament. Both highly regarded scholars, Adela Yarbro Collins and John J. Collins argue that Jesus was called “the Son of God” precisely because he was believed to be the messianic king. This belief and tradition, they contend, led to the identification of Jesus as preexistent, personified Wisdom, or a heavenly being in the New Testament canon. However, the titles Jesus is given are historical titles tracing back to Egyptian New Kingdom ideology. Therefore the title “Son of God” is likely solely messianic and not literal. King and Messiah as Son of God is distinctive in its range, spanning both Testaments and informed by ancient Near Eastern literature and Jewish noncanonical literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autobiographical book about my life as the out of wedlock son of Jessie Jimerson-Phillips, and J.O. Patterson Sr. My Mother, a Gospel Singer and song writer, Author of several books, and a relatively nieve young women when she fell under the influence of my dad, a man 13 years her senior. My dad J.O. Patterson Sr. was one of the most influential black men in America for 21 years in a row according to Ebony Magazine. Presiding Bishop of The Church of God In Christ, a position that should have cause him to have a greater sense of moral and ethical values, it seemed to have had a very small impact of his actions. My Brother J.O. Patterson Jr., was a former 2 term Senator, 1 term Congressman, and first black Mayor of the City of Memphis. A great man by world standards, but just as much a victim of our dad's reckless private life as my sister and I were. This book is a tale of religion, sex, lies, coverup's, murder, and extream coruption under the banner of The Church. And how the cover up's continues with some of the Church's Leadership even today. How sad it is when the people we turn to for compassion, spiritual guidance, and understanding. Use that position to abuse the innocent and greed to make millions. When my dad passed he left a reported 3 million dollars in cash stuffed into a freezer and a reported 48 million dollars of missing church money. The key word is reported, because only the person who found the cash and God know how much was actually there. I hope you will enjoy the enlightening journey into my life and what few people will ever know about these mega religious organizations and the courption and greed that drives them.
