Patrick Henry
Author: Thomas S Kidd
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 0465028101
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Most Americans know Patrick Henry as a fiery speaker whose pronouncement "Give me liberty or give me death!" rallied American defiance to the British Crown. But Henry's skills as an orator -- sharpened in the small towns and courtrooms of colonial Virginia -- are only one part of his vast, but largely forgotten, legacy. As historian Thomas S. Kidd shows, Henry cherished a vision of America as a virtuous republic with a clearly circumscribed central government. These ideals brought him into bitter conflict with other Founders and were crystallized in his vociferous opposition to the U.S. Constitution. In Patrick Henry, Kidd pulls back the curtain on one of our most radical, passionate Founders, showing that until we understand Henry himself, we will neglect many of the Revolution's animating values.

Unleashing Your Own Potential
Author: Robert W Henry
Publisher: Aviva Publishing
ISBN: 1636183115
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
In Unleashing Your Own Potential, Robert Henry, a former bank robber, teaches us to look closely at the decisions we make and make better ones. He knows from experience how important it is to make the right kinds of decisions because they can determine our destiny. His successful career in real estate and the personal happiness he’s found are testaments to the fact that the right decisions can open doors to achieving your full potential. Do you feel there is greatness inside you, but you don’t know how to unleash it? Unleashing Your Own Potential: The Self-Leadership Journey from Rock Bottom to Prosperity is a page-turner that is part memoir, part personal development, written by a man who transformed himself from living a life of crime to one of prosperity and giving back. Henry’s story is like none you’ve ever read before. After a difficult upbringing that Henry shares, he seemed to turn things around by going into sales and prospering in his career. In fact, he was doing so well that he and some of his colleagues decided to go into business for themselves. That’s when everything started to fall apart. The company Henry worked for, learning their employees might soon become their competitors, brought unjust criminal accusations against them, making Henry’s life very difficult. After being found guilty of crimes that were not really crimes at all, his life became complicated when he was assigned to a corrupt probation officer. This probation officer did everything imaginable to keep Henry from getting back on his feet until Henry became determined to get out from under the probation officer’s power. The result—Henry decided to pay off his court fines as quickly as possible, and he did that through a series of bank robberies. Without giving away everything that happened to Henry, the end result was he was caught and went to prison. While Henry’s life to that point might seem somewhat sensational to readers, what happened next is remarkable. Henry determined that this time, he would take control of his life by making better decisions. With Unleashing Your Own Potential, Henry has turned his story into a teaching tool. Each chapter begins with a segment of his personal story, followed by a discussion of how that story applies to important lessons we all need to learn. One of the biggest of those lessons is how to make better decisions. Henry states, “To make better decisions, we must train ourselves to engage our rational system more often. That means slowing down and being more intentional about our choices. By evaluating our options and considering our decisions’ potential consequences, we can make more informed choices that are more likely to lead to our desired outcomes.” Henry had failed to make an informed choice when he became a bank robber, but he has made such choices ever since. The result has been a life of prosperity in real estate and coaching others on how to succeed in business and life. Henry does not lecture the reader but offers simple but effective techniques we can use to apply the lessons learned to our lives. For example, in making decisions about your future, he recommends using the 10/10/10 rule. This technique involves considering how you will feel about your decision in ten minutes, ten months, and ten years. By thinking about the future, we put the decision in a better perspective and then can make a better decision. Henry uses powerful and inspirational quotes throughout the book: “It’s not what happens to you that determines how far you will go in life; it is how you handle what happens to you,” from Zig Ziglar. Henry did not handle well some of the adversity he faced, but going to prison changed his ability to make better decisions about how to handle difficult situations. He states, “The key to achieving optimal decision-making lies in self-awareness, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence.” He discusses all three of these decision-making influences in detail. Ultimately, everything in life revolves around the decisions we make and how we decide to handle situations. Henry discusses how to avoid negative thought patterns so we aren’t trapped by them. He encourages us to reach out to others to build a support network. He recommends developing a clear sense of purpose so that we don’t lose sight of our goals when adversity strikes. He helps us learn how to overcome fear and refuse to be a victim of circumstances by realizing what part of our circumstances we can control. Henry knows from personal experience that learning these lessons and making these changes is not easy. He states: “It was a challenging process. I had to confront some hard truths about myself and my past. But I knew it was the only way to move forward and create something positive from this experience.” He discusses how he used his time in prison as an opportunity to grow and change, to read more than 700 books on personal growth and development, and to begin the journey that ultimately led him from prison to prosperity by taking 100 percent responsibility for his life. The results Henry achieved are beyond impressive. Best of all, the road to those results is practical. No matter your adversities, Henry offers advice to help you discover and unleash your potential.

Thomas Cranmer
Author: Susan Wabuda
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317191455
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 387
Book Description
Thomas Cranmer’s place in English history is firmly established, yet the complexities of his character have remained obscure and he continues to be one of the most problematic figures of the Tudor period. Susan Wabuda’s biography sheds fresh light not only on the private Cranmer, but also on the qualities that enabled him to master a shifting political landscape and to build a new English Church. Athletic by nature, Cranmer enjoyed hunting and he was a keen collector of books. He was blessed with several lifelong friendships and twice risked his career by marrying the women he loved. A skilled debater and a deft politician, Cranmer sought to balance his long-term plans for the Church against the immediate demands of survival at court. Obedient at all times, yet never entirely trustworthy, he had to reconcile the will of his God with the will of the monarch he served. For too long, Cranmer’s legacy has overshadowed the life of the man himself, but this new biography enriches and extends our understanding of both. Accessible and informative, it will be essential reading for students and scholars of the English Reformation and the Tudor age.

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
A funny, raucous, and delightfully dirty history of 1,000 years of bedroom-hopping secrets and scandals of Britain's royals. Insatiable kings, lecherous queens, kissing cousins, and wanton consorts-history has never been so much fun. Royal unions have always been the stuff of scintillating gossip, from the passionate Plantagenets to Henry VIII's alarming head count of wives and mistresses, to the Sapphic crushes of Mary and Anne Stuart right on up through the scandal-blighted coupling of Prince Charles and Princess Diana. Thrown into loveless, arranged marriages for political and economic gain, many royals were driven to indulge their pleasures outside the marital bed, engaging in delicious flirtations, lurid love letters, and rampant sex with voluptuous and willing partners. This nearly pathological lust made for some of the most titillating scandals in Great Britain's history. Hardly harmless, these affairs have disrupted dynastic alliances, endangered lives, and most of all, fed the salacious curiosity of the public for centuries. Royal Affairs will satiate that curiosity by bringing this arousing history alive.
