Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After his father's heart attack in 1984, Peter Godwin began a series of pilgrimages back to Zimbabwe, the land of his birth, from Manhattan, where he now lives. On these frequent visits to check on his elderly parents, he bore witness to Zimbabwe's dramatic spiral downwards into the jaws of violent chaos, presided over by an increasingly enraged dictator. And yet long after their comfortable lifestyle had been shattered and millions were fleeing, his parents refuse to leave, steadfast in their allegiance to the failed state that has been their adopted home for 50 years. Then Godwin discovered a shocking family secret that helped explain their loyalty. Africa was his father's sanctuary from another identity, another world. When a Crocodile Eats the Sun is a stirring memoir of the disintegration of a family set against the collapse of a country. But it is also a vivid portrait of the profound strength of the human spirit and the enduring power of love.

Imagine the odds! First a cardamom shortage takes down the school bully. Then a giant dog leads to some extracurricular spying. Soon Oliver is being followed and Matilda is hacking the FBI. And by the time they discover a gang of angry clowns and the world's largest game of Mousetrap, an insanely brilliant plan has been set in motion that will change their lives forever.Connect the Dots is an intricately plotted story about the power of human connection and a chain of "coincidences" so serendipitous they must be destiny at work.

Download or read book Igbo Mediators of Yahweh Culture of Life: Volume IV written by Philip Chidi Njemanze and published by Writers Republic LLC. This book was released on 2020-10-02 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book: lgbo Mediators of Yahweh Culture of Life: volume IV, Exodus, Part 1, is the first accurate account of the path of the Exodus based on genetic, ethnolinguistic, paleoanthropologic and archeological scientific proof. The book builds on the theme of the book series: lgbo Mediators of Yahweh Culture of Life, that the lgbo are the Chosen People of God, the true Israelites (lgbo language: ! zara Eli, meaning 'you answered the Most High'). The question of who are the true Ancient Israelites has been settled with the science of population genetics. It has been shown conclusively that, the lgbo have L1 gene which is the Semite gene of Ancient Israelites. Human origins are traced through matrilineal genes, starting with the Eve gene called superhaplogroup LO. The three women who were theoretically wives of Shem, Ham and Japheth were L 1, L2, and L3 haplogroups, respectively. These genes are called Nilotic genes because of their origins along the Nile (lgbo language:mmiri niile, meaning 'all the waters'). The lgbo were the original inhabitants of ancient Egypt (lgbo language:a gQ Ya, a pa att,1 , meaning 'prays to God and carries out His instructions'), and were the Dynastic Pharaohs (lgbo language: e fere Qha, meaning 'your worship of the people').The lgbo were the earlier inhabitants of Nubia (Owere dialect lgbo language: ani ibo, meaning 'the land of the mediators', as priests that mediate between God and humanity for the remission of sin). The lgbo that speak the Owere dialect lived in Nubia or Upper Egypt while those that speak the Onitcha dialect lived in Lower Egypt. The lgbo Egyptians were conquered by the Turkic and ancestors of Arabs, and then enslaved in their own land , as Hebrews (lgbo language: Qha e bu t,1rt,1 t,1wa, meaning 'the people who bear the wickedness of the world'). On the way to the Promised Land of Canaan (lgbo language: oke Nna, meaning 'the allotment of the Father'), they were formally ordained a nation of priests by God and called lgbo (Onitcha dialect lgbo language: i gbo, meaning 'mediators or priests' between God and humanity for the remission of sin). The lgbo gene haplogroup is L 1 dating 150,000 to 240,000 years. The L2 are genes of the people of Black Southern Sudan region, which dates 100,000 to 150,000 years; and L3 dates 70,000 to 100,000 years and comprise all other black people. The genes of the white people are M and N, and are mutations of L3, that dates back 6,000 to 12,000 years. The locations of the sites from Egypt across Chad (lgbo language: Chi e du, meaning 'Almighty God leads'), Niger, Cameroon and finally Nigeria are to this day preserved in several caves and National parks. The Great Secrets of World Civilization and finally the burial Place of Moses have been revealed . Read this book and be part of this great history!

This book was released on 2022-01-07 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book: Wailing Walls of Jerusalem, Igbo Mediators of Yahweh Culture of Life Volume V, has its setting in Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria. It is the first accurate account of the true location of the City of Ancient Jerusalem (Igbo language: iyī e rusalem, meaning ‘evil [of abortion] should not touch me’). This assertion is supported by a map titled ‘Ìlú Yèrúsàlέmì ńǹwèrè Yèésú’ meaning ‘Capital City of Jerusalem at the Birth of Jesus Christ’) believed to have been made by anonymous Yoruba King visiting the City of Jerusalem before its destruction by 70AD. The city was surrounded by the inner Wailing Walls (Igbo language: ihi e ti eti, meaning ‘the wailing wall’) built around the Heart of the Capital City of Ancient Jerusalem (Igbo language: iyī e rusalam, meaning ‘evil should not touch me’) which was the home of King David to this day called Amawọm (Igbo language: ama Owe m, meaning ‘the settlement of my Leader [King David]’). The walls enclosed the Royal Palace of King David (Igbo language: Di wụ edo, meaning ‘the man who is fair in complexion’), the Old Temple of King Solomon (Igbo language: isi e lo ama ana, meaning ‘the head that thinks wisely for the land’), the Houses of the Chief Priests and Scribes, and houses of the indigenous people within the area traversed by the Sea of Galilee (Igbo language: ogo li elu, meaning ‘the districts on heights’). This book builds on the theme of the book series on the Igbo as the Chosen People of God.

Download or read book Pipi and the Midnight Express written by Francesco Mantica and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pipi is an average girl from a small town in the early 1980s-a little shy, a bit lonely, and very curious. She loves her home and family but dreams of more. She wants to see the world, and she has a train ticket to get her there. When a chance encounter with an eccentric homeless man puts her on board the Midnight Express, she discovers a world rich with the magic of nature. The Midnight Express is not your normal train-it's more Wild West than modern ones. It has a compartment just for chocolate and a magical museum. And behind a hidden door marked for magicians only, the mysterious stranger awaits. The mysterious stranger is a tall, dark skinned middle-aged man with a long handheld wooden cane, who is wearing a cape and a vest bearing a hodgepodge of various items. He calls himself a wizard and speaks of how imagination and willpower can shape reality and of the dark forces that now threaten the magical community. Fans of Harry Potter and C. S. Lewis's works will delight in this fresh tale of spiritual quest, magic and mystery. Where imagination is magic, nothing happens by chance, and the most curious journey of all is one of self-discovery.

Book excerpt: This remarkable and bestselling novel from Thanhha Lai, author of the National Book Award–winning and Newbery Honor Book Inside Out & Back Again, follows a young girl as she learns the true meaning of family. Listen, Slowly is a New York Times Book Review Notable Book and a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year! A California girl born and raised, Mai can’t wait to spend her vacation at the beach. Instead, she has to travel to Vietnam with her grandmother, who is going back to find out what really happened to her husband during the Vietnam War. Mai’s parents think this trip will be a great opportunity for their out-of-touch daughter to learn more about her culture. But to Mai, those are their roots, not her own. Vietnam is hot, smelly, and the last place she wants to be. Besides barely speaking the language, she doesn’t know the geography, the local customs, or even her distant relatives. To survive her trip, Mai must find a balance between her two completely different worlds. Perfect for fans of Rita Williams-Garcia and Linda Sue Park, Listen, Slowly is an irresistibly charming and emotionally poignant tale about a girl who discovers that home and culture, family and friends, can all mean different things.
