How far would you go for unlimited wealth and power ?

For Thane Coder, a shot at running one of the richest, most influential corporations in
America was an opportunity he couldn’t pass up. And with his seductive, savvy wife,
Jessica, showing him the way, his fate was decided.

All it took was a back door, a snowy night, and an old hunting knife to unlock more money than Thane could ever imagine. After he murders his boss, mentor, and friend James King, Thane and Jessica leap into a life of corporate jets and tropical hideaways—a world of infinite luxury and privilege.

But when King’s son surfaces with suspicion and revenge on his mind, the Coders
empire begins to crumble. Once an everyday American couple with a mortgage and weekend soccer games, they’re now entering a twisted maze filled with federal agents, the Mafia, a son hell-bent on vengeance, and a relentless, old-fashioned tracker willing to follow this husband and wife to the ends of the earth to take them down.

Call To Conscience, A: The Birth Of A New Nation

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008 by Book Guy | No Comments »

The "Call to Conscience" series features Never-Before-Collected, Original Recordings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. — Edited by Clayborne Carson and Kris Shepard.

This selection from the collection is "The Birth of a New Nation", which ignited the modern civil rights movement. Introduction written and read by Rev Leon H Sullivan.

Presented by the Grammy-winning Producers of The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Power is the strength required to bring about social, political, and economic change…. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love." — Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality…. I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality, and freedom for their spirits. I believe that what self-centered men have torn down, men other-centered can build up…. I still believe that we shall overcome." — Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

A Call to Conscience is a milestone collection of Dr. King’s most influential and best-known speeches. Compiled by Stanford historian Dr. Clayborne Carson, director of the King Papers Project, and by contributing editor Kris Shepard, this volume takes you behind the scenes on an astonishing historical journey-from the small, crowded church in Montgomery, Alabama, where "The Birth of a New Nation" ignited the modern civil rights movement.

Expressing a deeply felt faith in democracy, the power of loving change, and a self-deprecating humor, A Call to Conscience is Dr. King speaking  today.

It is a unique, unforgettable record of the words that rallied millions, forever changed the face of America, and even today shape our deepest personal hopes and dreams for the future.
