Must read, then read again to take it all in.

Excellent as always!
Format: Kindle
This book is SO GOOD I didn't even notice when I got to the last page. Fear of man is a crippling thing to harbour in our lives. It makes people big, our desires bigger...and GOD small. That's NOT what God created us to be like or intended for us. Instead, I and we should and must fear GOD alone. That way, people will be small and our desires even smaller. And that's the right way to live. May God help me and us all to live lofe His Way. Thanks Ed Welch for another great read! Always life-changing.

Actually a comforting help/relief to get our priorities straight.
Format: Audiobook
This is a great truth/perspective to keep in mind. One has to be a "true believer" to benefit from this truth but... the author is absolutely right. The book was a welcome anchor for me. I'm strengthened by the truth in it. I think most people would probably benefit from this "right perspective."

The Rape of US-Predatory US ruling class, beware!
Format: Hardcover
This is a very interesting perspective and most certainly written one year after the death of Henry Kissinger! Lee smith argues a very good case of how the United States (US) "China Class" augmented their own wealth, power, and prestige at the expense of impoverishing the US Middle Class. This is the story of the US ruling class's deadly pact with China.
Smith provides an in-depth historical manuscript of the US/China interaction from the post WW II period to the present. Most of the emphasis is from the Kissinger/Nixon initiation in the early 70's to the present. The author's Anti-communist bias is well displayed in the forefront of the well written pages of the text. The first third of the book provides the author's insight into the Kissinger/Nixon catalyst that commences the two-nation relationship.
Halfway into the book the author provides the description of what led up to, what took place, and the after math of the April 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown. The reader is able to understand the reasons that lead up to it and the US president's response. This was a highlight for my interests.
Chapter five is a turning point in the US/China relations when the US liberals take up the relationship via the California political system influence from trade to US Wall Street financing the China capital markets. Thus, opening the window for its entrance into the WTO. Here Diane Feinstein and her investor husband, Richard Blum, became the mantle carriers of the relationship. According to Smith they have turned California into the liberal state it is today. Is this similar to another power political couple that resides in the US Congress today from the same state?
The author meticulously travels through each of the administrations' delving into the events and culture that led to the US posture on China at that respective time period. Through this he continually notes Kissinger's continued influence through theses time periods. Then in chapter eight he reviews Hank Paulson of Goldman Sachs who single handedly poured accelerant on to the China/US story connecting it with Wall Street finance! This created a landside of wealth for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the US elites (all excerpted from his books). It appears China over this course has protected its own companies while exploiting American's vanity and greed. Today, as so far as, China poses a threat to the US, it is because the US has been assisting it every step of the way!
I found the ten chapter book very well done with no editorial errors. The physical product is very sturdy with copious references and a usable index. There are no photographs, charts or maps. I highly recommend this testimony to all my Democratic Party colleagues so they can understand the damage they are incurring to their country by their financially supporting the CCP. It is very possible Donald trump is set out to reverse Kissinger.

Wow China Is Subversive & Dangerous
Format: Hardcover
I kind of knew that were are dealing with a very shrewd communist country but Smith opened my eyes to the way that the Chinese go about getting what they want and doing it in a manner that goes under the radar. You have to be on the alert to their leaders attitudes and their methods so as not to get roped into their game plan. Now more than ever I am going to promote American Made products and keep an eye out for Chinese deception. I'm not paranoid about it but I don't like they way communist China operates, it's a one way street, their way. I try to keep that in mind and with the information that Smith presents it not only angers me but makes me away of the possible ways that I may fall prey to their practices. I highly recommend this book, especially if your American First.
