Finely written and meticulously documented, this book describes how--very early on--a small group of ordinary citizens began extraordinary efforts to demonstrate that the JFK assassination could not have happened the way the government said it did. In time, their efforts had an enormous impact on public opinion, but this account concentrates on the months before the controversy caught fire, when people with skeptical viewpoints still saw themselves as lone voices. Material seldom seen by the public includes a suppressed photograph of the grassy knoll, an unpublished 1964 interview with an eyewitness, the earliest mention of the "magic bullet," and an analysis of the commotion surrounding New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison's charge that anti-Castro CIA operatives were involved.

There are so many today, Christians and non-Christians alike, who have questions about Christianity, getting closer to God and understanding how to be effective and be successful in this life. Prayer Praise and Worship was written to remind some and educate others that The Bible is the greatest of all books ever written throughout the ages of man. To study and understand what God is saying in His written Word is the most treasured Gift one could ever desire.

Volume 3 concludes the passages in the Old Testament. We look at the last portions of the Psalms to the book of Habakkuk. One thing stands out, ‘We are in constant warfare and praise is your weapon to win the battle.’ Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand, To execute vengeance on the nations, And punishments on the peoples; To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron; To execute on them the written judgment — This honor have all His saints. Praise the Lord! Psalms 149:6-9 O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens! Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the enemy and the avenger. Psalms 8:1-2 The Christian life is one of battle, whether or not we are aware of it. The devil doesn’t like the idea that you are a Christian and will do everything possible to fight against you. But thanks be to God, He has given us tools that aren’t physical weapons, but produces physical results, for we wage war not against flesh and blood, but spiritual forces in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12), and so the weapons we use in our battles aren’t the weapons of the world but God’s powerful weapons to pull down every stronghold (2 Corinthians 10:4). Some of our weapons are prayer, the word of God (Eph 6:17; Heb 4:12), and praise. Ephesians 6:13-18 encourages us on the need to be prepared for battle, being strong in the Lord and His mighty power, and putting on the full armor of God. In your mouth is strength. As you speak of the works of the Lord, you silence the enemy. Teach your Children to praise the Lord, to shame the devil. In the days of Nehemiah, the workers had both tools to build and swords for battle (Nehemiah 4:17-18). We must employ both tools (the word of God and praise) in our time. We need both for a successful walk in Christ. In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you… 1 Thessalonians 5:18
