A biography of Jesse James as told by his son, Jesse James, Jr. We are treated to inside tales of Jesse's childhood and home life; what drove him to become a Confederate guerrilla during the Civil War; his life after the war and how he became a wanted man. Since it was written by his son, it is a little biased and we are not told anything about any crimes Jesse and his gang committed. Some of the stories of Jesse's war adventures are a little hard to believe, but a good read nonetheless.

Silva rediscovered the petition in the process of researching this book. With few exceptions, histories of Hawai'i have been based exclusively on Engl...

"Cuidado com livros a respeito do jejum. A Bíblia é muito cuidadosa em nos advertir acerca de pessoas que 'exigem abstinência de alimentos que Deus criou para serem recebidos, com ações de graças, pelos fiéis e por quantos conhecem plenamente a verdade' (1Tm 4.3). Mas quando Deus é o supremo anelo do nosso coração ele será supremo em tudo o mais. Deus é mais glorificado em nós quando estamos mais satisfeitos com ele. A debilidade da nossa fome por Deus não é por ele ser insosso, mas porque...
