"A new and authoritative study of Hitler's relationship with the German Army general staff in the period leading up to and during World War II. Examines the general staff's struggle to work effectively under Hitler, despite facing many challenges--not least the F'uhrer's own divisive policies and directives. Illuminates the fractured nature of the German army command in the latter stages of the war as the general staff was marginalized by the Nazis. Dispels many widely held myths concerning the key staff officers that served the Third Reich, while also identifying their personal and collective failures and oversights. Analyzes and evaluates the army's involvement in the German resistance movement, the repercussions of the abortive assassination attempt against Hitler in the von Stauffenberg plot of 1944, and the unsuccessful bid to initiate Operation Valkyrie."--P. [4] of jacket.

It is the trying seasons of our lives that really test our character and reveals what we’re made of. This cliche motivational tag line sounds all well and good until you’re actually in the middle of that season and feel like giving up. In this nonfiction account, Bryan Dixon reveals how the trying seasons of our lives are extremely personal and thus very dissimilar to anyone else’s. However, the spiritual, psychological, and emotional damage that surfaces as a result of it, often remains constant. It was the trying season of his life that Bryan thought would break him and maybe even his family, that he realized that the pain caused by such seasons are directly related to the matters of our hearts. In this, he claims that for the first time in his life he pursued God not because it was the right Christian thing to do, but out of genuine need and desperation. Bryan concluded that so many of our trying seasons are directly related to the actions of others. If this is the case, the only path to healing from these seasons of trials is something that Christians claim we do consistently when in reality it goes against our very human nature, forgiveness. When you can reflect back on the Shattered seasons of your life with a spiritual lens, you will discover the truth, that God truly does use our broken pieces.

‘If you like a great psychological thriller, I promise you that you will love Shattered.’ Amazon Review. DECEPTION. GREED. VENGEANCE. BETRAYAL Forced to Northumberland to care for her dying Aunt, Charley Costin is determined to put aside childhood fears, and a twenty year feud, to prove her family wrong. Elizabeth Kane is not a witch, she is just an old lady, and Charley intends to make her estranged Aunt's last days as comfortable as possible. But doubts creep in when Elizabeth proves more work than Charley ever imagined. Intimidating and demanding, with violent hallucinations, episodes of paranoia, and an agenda of her own, Charley discovers dementia is much more than loss of memory, and her Aunt is as far from 'old lady' as she can get. Already on edge, Charley discovers Fortwind House hides not only a sinister presence, an unruly bell, and a study door that opens itself, but also a terrible secret. A secret that gardener Axl Maddox would kill to keep buried. A secret that Elizabeth is desperate to tell. As her Aunt's paranoia grows, an unnerved Charley questions just how long her Aunt has left, and the real reason she may have less time than she thinks. Disturbed, watched, and afraid, Charley feels out of her depth as over twenty years of deception, betrayal, vengeance, and bad blood rise to the surface with devastating consequences. What Charley discovers at Fortwind House will blow her world apart and challenge everything she has ever known.
