Reminiscences of West Bengal and the Northeast

# data[].attributes.description
Desires, Dreams and Powers is a fascinating saga of the life and times of Tathagata Roy. Not many people may have traipsed into so many fields of life as Roy has. He has been a civil engineer, an encyclopaedic, a university teacher, a researcher, a contract lawyer, a politician, an author in two languages, an intrepid traveller and, lately, a history buff.

By writing about his times than his life, Roy covers truly eventful eight decades of a nation in transition, during which British rule transmogrified into the partitions of India and Bengal, the world around him transformed from writing with a quill pen to taming the personal computer and toying with AI, and politics from optimism to Naxalism to hope. His native West Bengal, the crucible of left ideology, finally exorcised the ghost of Marxism by overthrowing the Left Front united in 2011 after 34 years of unbroken communist rule. Through it all, he pranced into high school, segued into engineering college, got his first job with the Indian railways, taught at Jadavpur University, joined the Bharatiya Janata Party and capped it all up by becoming the governor of three northeastern states of India.

The book is as much about the trajectory of a nation on the move as it is about Roy's life. The parallel is unmissable.

Have you ever felt lost with no clear direction, no map to guide you, and no sense of where you're headed?

Have you ever woken up and asked yourself, "Who am I?" Or even more profoundly, "God, who did You create me to be?"

This is a story of wandering in the wilderness, of the strongholds that keep us trapped in darkness, and of the unshakable love of our Heavenly Father who reaches down to lift us out. It's a story of discovering who we are when we step into His presence and learn to see ourselves as He sees us.

In these pages, I share my journey-the path I walked away from God, and how He used even the darkest moments to take what the enemy meant for evil and transform it for good.

You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.

-Genesis 50:20

The Roaring Twenties, also known as the Jazz Age, was one of the most dynamic and transformative decades in American history. Spanning from 1920 to 1929, it was a period marked by booming prosperity, social upheaval, and cultural revolution-but also deep contradictions that would ultimately lead to its downfall with the Great Depression.

At the heart of the decade was Prohibition, established by the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act in 1920, which outlawed the manufacture, sale, and transport of alcohol. Instead of promoting morality and discipline as intended, Prohibition fueled a vast underground economy. Speakeasies-secret bars hidden in basements, back rooms, and even behind false walls-multiplied across cities. The ban on alcohol gave rise to bootlegging and organized crime syndicates, as gangsters like Al Capone in Chicago built empires smuggling liquor and battling rival mobs in bloody gang wars. The illegal alcohol trade made millionaires out of criminals and corrupted police, judges, and politicians alike, eroding public faith in law enforcement and traditional moral values.

Meanwhile, the U.S. economy seemed unstoppable. The stock market soared as ordinary Americans, swept up in the thrill of easy money, poured savings into shares on margin-buying stocks with borrowed funds.

Culturally, the 1920s embodied a spirit of rebellion and liberation. Traditional values crumbled in the face of jazz music, flapper fashion, and new attitudes toward sexuality and independence. The decade saw low morality in the eyes of older generations-symbolized by wild parties, short skirts, and open defiance of convention. Writers like F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway captured the glittering excess and moral emptiness of the age, while jazz musicians like Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington gave it its rhythm and soul.

When the stock market crashed in October 1929, the party abruptly ended, and the nation plunged into the Great Depression.

The Roaring Twenties remain a paradoxical decade-an age of both extraordinary innovation and reckless abandon.

Yet beneath the glamour and prosperity, instability brewed. The illusion of endless growth and easy wealth was built on fragile credit, speculation, and social inequality. When the pursuit of pleasure and profit overshadowed prudence, it left a legacy as dazzling as it was destructive.

One wrong number. Two stubborn hearts. And a whole lot of texts in between.

Scarlett Simmons apologizes for everything. For existing, for speaking up, for accidentally dousing grumpy British football managers in scalding coffee. Her therapist says it's a problem. Her ex said she was "too much." So when she lands in Manchester to resurrect England's worst football club from PR hell, she's determined to be less... herself.

Except she can't seem to stop clashing with Theo Ross, the club's infuriatingly proper manager who wears ties like armor and treats her American optimism like a personal offense. He's all cool professionalism and withering glances. She's all big ideas and nervous necklace-fiddling. They're a disaster.

But then there's the mystery man she's been texting since she landed. A wrong number that turned into late-night conversations, random questions about eye color and neckties, and a connection so easy it makes her forget to apologize. With him, she's not too much. She's exactly enough.

As the football season heats up and the stakes get higher, Scarlett finds herself caught between the job that could make her career and the feelings that could break her heart. Because sometimes the most complicated plays happen off the field.

A New Path for Christian Conservationism

# data[].attributes.description
Theology, Ecology, and Conservation: A New Path for Christian Conservationism is a theological treatise exploring how Holy Scripture commands Christians to protect and conserve creation-the Lord's garden. From the beginning, the biblical mandate is unmistakable: "The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and keep it" (Genesis 2:15). For evangelicals who uphold the supreme authority of Scripture, this calling is not optional but foundational.

The Psalms remind us that "the heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands" (Psalm 19:1a2). To embrace this revelation fully is to recognize that the created world both reflects God's glory and demands our stewardship. Evangelical theology affirms this dual responsibility, to work and to care, so that believers may avoid the fate described in Revelation: judgment upon "those who destroy the earth" (Revelation 11:18).

This work argues that eschatological hope does not relieve humanity of its present responsibility. On the contrary, Christians are called to resist the sin of needless pollution and the neglect of God's creation. Without delving into the divisions of contemporary politics, Theology, Ecology, and Conservation: A New Path for Christian Conservationism offers a careful, Scripture-centered exploration of ecological stewardship, showing that the duty to protect the natural world is not an innovation but a clear and enduring command of God's Word.

The Florida Panhandle, now home to 1.7 million residents, has evolved from a rural backwater to a significant player in national defense, sports, politics and culture, showcasing remarkable figures and events that shaped its vibrant history and identity.

The story begins with Congressman Bob Sikes, known as the He-Coon, who played a crucial role in establishing the Panhandle as a national defense stronghold. His efforts led to the expansion of military bases, including Eglin Air Force Base, the largest in the nation, and Pensacola Naval Air Station, the birthplace of naval aviation and home to the renowned Blue Angels. These installations have been vital in training military personnel and developing weapons for numerous conflicts, contributing significantly to the nation's defense capabilities.

Yet, it has also made strides in civil rights, law, and environmental advocacy.

We Christians claim to believe in compassion. We preach it, teach it, and regard it as essential to our faith. However, when pain appears at our doorstep-in the form of a grieving friend, a broken neighbor, or a stranger in need-we often freeze. We don't know what to say. We don't want to say the wrong thing. Thus, we remain silent. We maintain a safe distance.

This book invites us to learn how to move past our fears and misgivings and begin to engage hurting people in a profoundly deeper and more compassionate way.

With honesty, grace, and storytelling rooted in real life and Scripture, the author examines what it means to move toward pain instead of away from it, to show up when it's hard, to embody the kind of love Jesus modeled-interruptible, inconvenient, and deeply human.

If you've ever wondered how to love well in a hurting world, this book offers more than answers; it provides five simple truths to guide you into the places where compassion becomes more than just a word. It becomes a way of life.
