Category : Criminals
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
During the dangerous days of the 1980s and 1990s, the so-called ′Green Light′ days, few were more given to committing major crime or more notorious than Graham ′Abo′ Henry, the other half of a criminal partnership with Arthur ′Neddy′ Smith. In ′Abo′: A Treacherous Life, Jay Pring presents a criminal′s eye view of the workings of the ICAC, the National Crime Authority, the Federal police and the NSW Royal Commission. But more than that, it allows Graham Henry to explode many of the myths surrounding Neddy Smith and his ′gang′. Populated by a world of larger-than-life characters, living lives of criminality, extraordinary violence and intrigue, this is not a story for the faint-hearted.

Henry's Chapel
Author: Graham Guest
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781952386220
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
In Graham Guest's novel Henry's Chapel we watch a film by proxy, through the eyes of a narrator who offers a play-by-play account, complete with probing analysis, of Albarb Noella's Lawnmower of a Jealous God. Within this unusual frame we encounter the story of an isolated family in rural East Texas, a tragicomic tale of incest, abuse, mental illness and liberation. As meta-narrative and narrative merge into one another, the film's characters, its director, and implicitly the narrator and author themselves all become significant figures, while the film itself becomes both an immersive if ghostly medium and a distanced object of critical inquiry, its meaning and being inseparable from the metafictional organism that contains it. The final product is a kind of narratological incest heretofore unexplored.

Forgiving My Father, Forgiving Myself
Author: Ruth Graham
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1493419218
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
When we live with unresolved anger or hurt, the result is nearly always bitterness, broken relationships, and unhealthy behaviors. Unforgiveness not only sabotages our interactions with those around us, it impedes our own spiritual growth and inner peace. And it can happen to anyone. In her most vulnerable writing yet, Ruth Graham reveals how a visit to Angola Prison inspired her to release the unforgiveness lurking in her own heart--toward others, herself, and even her heavenly Father and her earthly father, evangelist Billy Graham. In this encouraging book, she weaves her own personal experiences with biblical examples to explore what holds us back from forgiving others and ourselves--and what we gain when we finally discover the power to forgive. Along the way, she guides us into our own deeply personal experiences of forgiveness that will penetrate our protective walls and unleash true transformation in our lives.

Where We Got the Bible: Our Debt to the Catholic Church
Author: Reverend Henry G. Graham
Publisher: Aeterna Press
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
IF all were true that is alleged against the Catholic Church in her treatment of Holy Scripture, then the proper title of these papers should be ‘How we got’, but ‘How we have not got the Bible’. The common and received opinion about the matter among non-Catholics in Britain, for the most part, has been that Rome hates the Bible-that she has done all she could to destroy it—that in all countries where she has held sway she has kept the Bible from the hands of the people—has taken it and burned it whenever she found anyone reading it. Or if she cannot altogether prevent its publication or its perusal, at least she renders it as nearly useless as possible by sealing it up in a dead language which the majority of people can neither read nor understand. And all this she does, (so we are told), because she knows that her doctrines are absolutely opposed to and contradicted by the letter of God’s written Word—she holds and propagates dogmas and traditions which could not stand one moment’s examination if exposed to the searching light of Holy Scripture.
