The Chris Voss Show Podcast – THE THIRD HEAVEN: and the unutterable things that can now be told by Jim Strahan

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – THE THIRD HEAVEN: and the unutterable things that can now be told by Jim Strahan

THE THIRD HEAVEN: and the unutterable things that can now be told by Jim Strahan https://www.amazon.com/THIRD-HEAVEN-unutterable-things-that/dp/B0CXQ56SGY Jimstrahanbooks.com Jim Strahan: In this book, I will demonstrate how the writings of Moses, John, and Paul, speak to three resurrections, and I will connect them to Paul’s experience when he was caught up to the third heaven. I will also present twenty-one other scriptural references that reveal how this underlying pattern of “threes” spans from Genesis to Revelation. Dr. David Konstan, professor of Classics at NYU following three decades at Brown: You know that what you have to say is important, and you invite your reader to carry on a dialogue. You defend the idea of a third resurrection with due citation of texts, and make a very strong case for it. Boyd Purcell, PHD: I am highly impressed with Jim Strahan’s ability to logically and systematically analyze The Holy Bible in depth, from historical, mathematical, and scientific perspectives. Even if readers do not agree with this author on the three resurrections and the third heaven, they can learn a lot by carefully reading and studying this book, seeing that the Bible is even more symbolic than what they may have ever heard or thought. Michael Riley, Electrical Engineer, and co-author of “Is God Fair? What about Gandhi?”: To the prospective reader, I would like to encourage you to drink deeply from the ideas and arguments in Jim’s book, for you have likely never heard or seen them before–a merging of Scriptures into a belief that today’s Christianity in general, not only does not teach, but likely has never even considered. The number three appears predominantly throughout Scripture. In this amazing book, you will learn of a novel use of this number that explains Paul’s use of the phrase, “each man in his own order.” Intrigued? Well, the answer this book gives is a solid and meaningful explanation of it. And there is more, much more. May you enjoy the exploration.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Joshua: Slave, Understudy, Warrior, Spy, Successor, Conqueror, and Ruler by Louis McCall

Joshua: Slave, Understudy, Warrior, Spy, Successor, Conqueror, and Ruler by Louis McCall Louismccallinternational.com https://www.amazon.com/Joshua-Understudy-Warrior-Successor-Conqueror/dp/B0DGDDY2ZV Joshua is the story of an underdog. His amazing arc of development saw his remarkable rise from the slave pits of Egypt to the pinnacle of triumphantly leading three million former slaves and their descendants into the promised land of Canaan. He had an intimate relationship with God. It showed what God could do. During a 40-year apprenticeship under Moses, Joshua rose from being a slave under the whip of his Egyptian masters to being a prince of his tribe in Israel. He became Israel's first military Field Marshal. Joshua ascended Mount Sinai with Moses, saw God, and heard the voice of God with his natural ears. As Moses neared the end of his natural life, God directed Moses to choose and publicly ordain Joshua as his successor, rather than one of his own two sons or anyone else. Then Joshua went on to see God perform physical miracles for him on a par with what God did for Moses, defying the laws of nature and physics. Miracles of this magnitude did not occur again until 1,400 years later when Jesus Christ walked the earth in the flesh as God and man. Joshua ruled, not as a king, but as the intermediary for God's theocratic governance of the descendants of Israel. Joshua's final work was driving the pagan nations God abhorred out of the promised land of Canaan, including subduing the progeny of a race of giants, and then distributing the land among the tribes of Israel. Being advised by God of his approaching transition from life to death, Joshua assembled the nation, recounted all that God had brought them through and then charged them to serve God or come under a curse that he himself pronounced, before they could eventually be restored.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Climbing The Hill by Amadou Camara

Climbing The Hill by Amadou Camara https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FK1RKBKL "I come from a place where survival was a victory, and every step forward was a quiet act of defiance." From the dusty streets of Dar es Salam in Guinea Conakry to the drafting tables of the United States, Climbing The Hill is the powerful true story of one boy's journey through poverty, loss, and unrelenting adversity toward a life shaped by hope, resilience, and purpose. Born into hardship, Amadou Camara faced a childhood where survival was never guaranteed. Yet even amid overwhelming circumstances, he dared to dream of a better life. With unwavering determination and strength, he carved a path forward, ultimately transforming himself from a struggling boy into a successful architectural designer in the U.S. This deeply moving memoir explores themes of perseverance, trauma, healing, and the transformative power of vision. More than a personal account, Climbing The Hill is a universal story for anyone who has ever fought to rise above their beginnings and believed in something greater beyond the struggle.About The Author Amadou Camara was born in Guinea-Conakry, where his childhood was marked by trauma, hardship, and the kind of silence that often surrounds suffering. In a world where abuse was normalized and children's voices were rarely heard, Amadou endured, but he also dreamed. His memoir is a testament to the strength it takes to survive when survival is not guaranteed, and to rise when the world teaches you to remain small. Arriving in the United States after winning the Diversity Visa Lottery in 2013, Amadou faced a new set of challenges: a foreign land, a new language, and the weight of starting over. But with the same resilience that carried him through his childhood, he built a life from the ground up-one rooted in purpose, healing, and hope. Today, Amadou lives in Madison, Wisconsin with his wife, Oumou, and their miracle daughter, Aicha. He is a professional architectural designer with a five-year degree in architecture, working at Flad Architects, one of the top Architectural companies in the U.S-He brings his passion for the built environment to every project he touches-shaping spaces that heal and reflect dignity, strength, and vision. Amadou wrote this memoir not only to reflect on his own path to healing but to give voice to the countless children still enduring abuse in silence. His message is simple yet profound: no matter where you begin, you have the power to choose how your story continues. Pain may shape us, but it does not define us. With courage, hope, and unshakable will, we can all build a life worth remembering.

Sir Gusztáv Arlow's Sabre Fencing: Austro-Hungarian Sabre Series, vol. 3 (Austro-Hungarian Military Sabre Series) by Russ Mitchell https://www.amazon.com/Guszt%C3%A1v-Arlows-Sabre-Fencing-Austro-Hungarian/dp/B09X3NZ2P5 https://www.patreon.com/cw/u56077390 The Birth of Italo-Hungarian Fencing! Gusztáv Arlow’s work represents perhaps the point where the Hungarian public sees a well-known, well-established, and well-respected fencer come forward to discuss the merits of the “Italian,” that is to say, Radaellian, fencing method, while simultaneously discussing its integration with elements of Hungarian sabre fencing. Arlow, previously an adherent to the so-called "High Tierce" system, lays out the case for "Italian" fencing in this translated manual, which contains extensive commentary on the art of fencing. A must-have for historical fencers and those interested in the birth of the modern Italo-Hungarian school.About the author Russ Mitchell is an author, historian, and fencing instructor who helps people with stress, strain, and balance issues. He also writes fantasy stories for fun and to read to his daughter. Russ' work is heavily influenced by Moshe Feldenkrais, Barbara Hambly, Robert Heinlein, and Glen Cook. He is a big fan of Hunter S. Thompson's famous dictum "when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." He was voted "least in need of LSD" while in college, which might explain a lot. When not travelling to smack people with swords and axes, he lives in Irving, TX, with his wife, daughter, and cats.
