Book Description
This book reveals what you always wanted to know about the issues of life, death and the afterlife. Supported by Scriptures, it reveals shocking truths about heaven, hell and your birthright blessing. There're four components to Gods birthright (covenant) blessing which are His (1) word blessing, (2) peace blessing, (3) wealth blessing, and (4) eternal life blessing. God set this inheritance aside for you before you were born. There's enough abundance in your birthright blessing to fulfill every need you have. It entitles you to dwell in a land of utopia whereby your peace, health, friendships, quality of life, holiness and well being are absolutely perfect. Speaking of the good life, it doesn't get any better than this. This book shows that (1) you have a personal calling on your life (youre created for a purpose), and (2) your racial group has a calling to fulfill. You need to know your personal and racial callings, for they are eternal. Before you can appreciate what God has in store for you, you need to know who you are (the real you that God created you to be). This book reveals the real you. This book also confirms the reality and location of heaven and the materials saints new bodies will be made of. It shows what saints do in Paradise now and forevermore. You'll be delighted and pleasantly surprised to know your heavenly activities. This book reveals (1) where Hades is located (the temporary abode of sinners called the region of disembodied spirits), (2) where the permanent place of torment is located called the eternal lake of fire, and (3) the cursed materials sinners bodies will consist of. In hell, sinners' bodies will burn to ashes and be recycled to burn all over again. God's Scriptures confirm these truths.

Book Description
The vast majority of the global population acquires citizenship purely by accidental circumstances of birth. There is little doubt that securing membership status in a given state bequeaths to some a world filled with opportunity and condemns others to a life with little hope. Gaining privileges by such arbitrary criteria as one’s birthplace is discredited in virtually all fields of public life, yet birthright entitlements still dominate our laws when it comes to allotting membership in a state. In The Birthright Lottery, Ayelet Shachar argues that birthright citizenship in an affluent society can be thought of as a form of property inheritance: that is, a valuable entitlement transmitted by law to a restricted group of recipients under conditions that perpetuate the transfer of this prerogative to their heirs. She deploys this fresh perspective to establish that nations need to expand their membership boundaries beyond outdated notions of blood-and-soil in sculpting the body politic. Located at the intersection of law, economics, and political philosophy, The Birthright Lottery further advocates redistributional obligations on those benefiting from the inheritance of membership, with the aim of ameliorating its most glaring opportunity inequalities.

Book Description
Texas, 1865. The War Between the States has ended, but the Armstrong-Anderson feud rages across the prairie. Returning from the ashes of Virginia's guerrilla battles, where he fought with John Mosby's Partisan Rangers, Press Anderson becomes enmeshed in his family's struggle for survival when a vicious cattle baron decides to turn west Texas into his personal fiefdom. Maneuvering through a brutal world where racial hatred and violence toward women are the order of the day, Press is thrust into the forefront of the fight for an inheritance he detests, a birthright bequeathed in blood. To rescue the woman he loves from cutthroats backed by a corrupt law, he will be forced to confront his forgotten origins and ally himself with society's outcasts. Half Comanche, half white, and all man, Press Anderson must discover whether he embodies the best of two worlds or the worst. His answer will be found at the point of a gun.

Book Description
From Gabrielle Zevin—the author of the critically acclaimed Elsewhere—comes the first book in the Birthright series, All These Things I've Done, a masterful novel about an impossible romance, a mafia family, and the ties that forever bind us. In 2083, chocolate and coffee are illegal, paper is hard to find, water is carefully rationed, and New York City is rife with crime and poverty. And yet, for Anya Balanchine, the sixteen-year-old daughter of the city's most notorious (and dead) crime boss, life is fairly routine. It consists of going to school, taking care of her siblings and her dying grandmother, trying to avoid falling in love with the new assistant D.A.'s son, and avoiding her loser ex-boyfriend. That is until her ex is accidently poisoned by the chocolate her family manufactures and the police think she's to blame. Suddenly, Anya finds herself thrust unwillingly into the spotlight--at school, in the news, and most importantly, within her mafia family.

Book Description
"For your Heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added to you" (Matthew 6:32b-33). Are you looking for an avenue where you can put your money safe with growth, tax advantage, and protection? Do you dream of a cash retirement for yourself that is tax-free? Would you like to leave a tax-free inheritance to your family when you are no longer around? If the answer is a big yes, then this book is for you! Likewise, this book shows how giving, saving, and investing before spending is a blessed strategy toward wealth accumulation whether it is through man at work or money at work. When God created man in his image, he gave us tangible assets with a command and a blessing: "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Have dominion over . . . " (Genesis 1:27-28). When we work, we are exercising our birthright, our dominion. "For if we don't work, neither should we eat" (2 Thessalonians 3:10).
