The Esau Effect: Reshaping the World in the Act of War recounts some of the world's bloodiest events, from ancient times when Melchizedek blessed Abraham after the slaughter of the kings, the eradication on the island of Crete nearly four thousand years ago, the massacre of the Namibians in Southwest Africa at the hands of Nazi Germany. Much of the Western world has blamed Esau for these terrible events, but could this most gruesome fate of Africa, the Middle East, and the Mesopotamia have been handed down through the lenses of the aggressors who intended to give their version of historical events to vilify Esau for their own self-interest and greed?

Jacob and Esau is a profound new account of two millennia of Jewish European history that, for the first time, integrates the cosmopolitan narrative of the Jewish diaspora with that of traditional Jews and Jewish culture. Malachi Haim Hacohen uses the biblical story of the rival twins, Jacob and Esau, and its subsequent retelling by Christians and Jews throughout the ages as a lens through which to illuminate changing Jewish-Christian relations and the opening and closing of opportunities for Jewish life in Europe. Jacob and Esau tells a new history of a people accustomed for over two-and-a-half millennia to forming relationships, real and imagined, with successive empires but eagerly adapting, in modernity, to the nation-state, and experimenting with both assimilation and Jewish nationalism. In rewriting this history via Jacob and Esau, the book charts two divergent but intersecting Jewish histories that together represent the plurality of Jewish European cultures.

First published in 1990, The Myths We Live By explores how memory and tradition are continually reshaped and recycled to make sense of the past from the standpoint of the present. The book makes use of the rich material of recorded life stories, with examples stretching from the transient myths of contemporary Italian school children on strike, back to the family legends of classical Greece, and the traditional storytelling of Canadian Indians. The range of examples is international and together they advocate a transformed history, which actively relates subjective and objective, past and present, politics and poetry, and highlights history as a living force in the present. The Myths We Live By will appeal to anyone interested in oral history, memory, and myth.

Genesis 6 Conspiracy: There are giants among us, passing largely unnoticed, intent on carrying out a secret plan to enslave all humanity. They may not look like giants today, but their bloodlines extend all the way back to the Nephilim—the offspring of angels who mated with human women—described in Genesis 6 when giants roamed the land. Gary Wayne, author of The Genesis 6 Conspiracy: How Secret Societies and the Descendants of Giants Plan to Enslave Humankind, details the role of modern-day Nephilim in Satan’s plan to install the Antichrist at the End of Days. When God cast the angel Lucifer and his followers out of heaven, Lucifer set into motion a scheme to ensure the Nephilim survived. Why? Because from the bloodlines of these Nephilim the Antichrist will come. To keep his plan alive, Satan has enlisted the loyalty of secret societies such as the Freemasons, the Templars, and the Rosicrucians to conspire in teaching a theology and a history of the world that is contrary to the biblical one. This Genesis 6 Conspiracy marches toward the Great Tribulation, when the loyalty of the Terminal Generation—this generation—will be tested. The Bible, along with many other ancient sources, clearly records the existence of giants. Wayne provides copious citations from many society insiders, along with extensive Bible references, other religious references, and historical material to bolster his contention. What he uncovers will astonish you—and it will challenge you to prepare for the fulfilling of God’s promises.

Our dramatic story starts with the birth of two biblical patriarchs vying for the coveted firstborn rights and the honor of leading the chosen people. Esau, who seems unfazed by this sacred pact, and Jacob, his mother's favorite, find themselves locked in a fierce rivalry as twins. In a twist of fate, the Lord selects Jacob over Esau for His divine blessing, departing from the expected order. The Lord specifically states that Abraham and Isaac's promise would go to the one of His selected heir. Securing their right to claim the Promised Land, He vows to expand Abraham's lineage across the world. The stage is set for a societal clash amidst global turmoil.During two cataclysmic world wars, over a hundred million lives were lost as nations battled over Africa and the Middle East territories. This globe-spanning chaos stretched from the Atlantic and Pacific islands to Africa's vast steppes and Mesopotamian plains. No other period in history, besides the Middle Passage, bore witness to such enormous bloodshed as between May 1914 - August 9, 1945.In the aftermath emerged an intense competition between the United States and the Soviet Union to create even more powerful nuclear weapons-fueled by fear of impending surprise attacks. Their entrenched rivalry marked the beginning of a harrowing Cold War era where geopolitical tension brewed incessantly. This unease spurred the formation of alliances like NATO and the Warsaw Pact that ultimately shaped our modern world.

Katherine Paterson's remarkable Newbery Medal-winning classic about a painful sibling rivalry, and one sister’s struggle to make her own way, is an honest and daring portrayal of adolescence and coming of age. A strong choice for independent reading, both for summer reading and homeschooling, as well as in the classroom, Jacob Have I Loved has been lauded as a cornerstone young adult novel and was ranked among the all-time best children's novels in a survey published by School Library Journal. "Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated . . ." With her grandmother's taunt, Louise knew that she, like the biblical Esau, was the despised elder twin. Caroline, her selfish younger sister, was the one everyone loved. Growing up on a tiny Chesapeake Bay island, angry Louise reveals how Caroline has robbed her of everything: her hopes for schooling, her friends, her mother, even her name. While everyone pampers Caroline, Wheeze (her sister's name for her) begins to learn the ways of the watermen and the secrets of the island, especially of old Captain Wallace, who has mysteriously returned after fifty years. The war unexpectedly gives this independent girl a chance to fulfill her dream to work on the water alongside her father. But the dream does not satisfy the woman she is becoming. Alone and unsure, Louise begins to fight her way to a place for herself outside her sister's shadow. But in order to do that, she must first figure out who she is...
