Go in Peace Your Guide to the Purpose and Power of Confession


Free Download Go in Peace: Your Guide to the Purpose and Power of Confession By Mitch Pacwa; Sean Brown
2007 | 124 Pages | ISBN: 1932927956 | EPUB | 1 MB
Confession, Penance, Reconciliation. The ancient Sacrament of Penance is called many names but has one purpose the forgiveness of sins. Many Catholics and other Christians are at best uncertain as to the need for confession, and many are anxious at the idea of sharing their sins with a priest. In this much-needed book, Fr. Mitch Pacwa and Sean Brown put all the confusion and anxiety to rest by answering the most common questions and objections to this indispensable sacrament. As humans, we have an innate desire to be at peace. Sin destroys this peace, leaving the soul in a weak and deprived state. In Go In Peace, the authors demonstrate that, through the power of confession, one is freed from the burden of sin and brought to peace with God and himself.

Vietnam Anatomy of a Peace


Free Download Vietnam: Anatomy of a Peace By Gabriel Kolko
1997 | 200 Pages | ISBN: 0415159903 | PDF | 5 MB
Vietnam has experienced huge political and economic development since the war. In Anatomy of a Peace, Gabriel Kolko looks at the main economic phases the Communist Party has embarked upon since 1986 and outlines the transition to nascent capitalism. He also explores Vietnam’s relations to its neighbours and the US in the light of social and psychological national features.Based on extensive research and over 30 years first hand experience, Anatomy of a Peace is a timely examination of recent history and developing economies in Asia. Gabriel Kolko argues that neither an intentional socialist or market strategy have determined recent Vietnamese history and, in fact, the Communist Party has little control over development during peace time.

In the Front Line A Doctor in War and Peace


Free Download Alec Glen, "In the Front Line: A Doctor in War and Peace"
English | ISBN: 1780271301 | 2013 | 288 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
Chronicling the experiences of Alec Glen, a young doctor who joined the army and served as a medical officer for the duration of World War I, this autobiography provides a unique view of the great events of the early 20th century. Early on he provides a shattering account of the hopeless slaughter at Gallipoli, where he survived almost certain death many times as his companions fell around him; out of his battalion of 1,000, only 100 lived. His later service in the Middle East and Mesopotamia is an astonishing tale of courage and endurance, interwoven with spells of leave, during which the Scot encountered exotic experiences undreamed of back home. After the war Glen became a GP in Govan, one of the poorest areas in Britain, at a time long before the National Health Service and where preventable illnesses were often a death sentence for old and young alike. The extremes of poverty and suffering he witnessed brought home to him that he was in the front line once more, but in a different kind of warfare. This memoir is a work of keen observation, humor, and understated power that compares and contrasts life on the Western Front with life in the poverty-stricken East End of Glasgow after the Great War.

Threats to Peace and International Security Asia versus West Current Challenges in a New Geopolitical Situation


Free Download Threats to Peace and International Security: Asia versus West Current Challenges in a New Geopolitical Situation by Juan Cayón Peña, J. Martín Ramírez
English | PDF | 2023 | 251 Pages | ISBN : 303128335X | 11.6 MB
This book aims to analyze from a multidisciplinary perspective the current geopolitical conflict between East and West, between two differentiated and apparently conflicting cosmogonic visions. The geopolitical evolution of the current panorama seems to lead to a new world in the field of international relations, a new board played on a planetary level. Once again, bloc geopolitics can be glimpsed in the immediate future, in which the most important actors such as Russia, China, the United States of America, and the European Union are called to position themselves with respect to the territorial and strategic ambitions of the opponent. International law seems to be overwhelmed by military actions and factual pressure on the ground, while the battle of ideas extends to the technological field and cyberspace. The different origins of the authors, with extensive academic, military, police forces, and business experience undoubtedly enriches the unique perspective that this work intends to address, always in the attempt to enforce international law and the channels of dialogue between nations, such as the best solution to conflicts.
