In "Conquest and Redemption, " Gregg J. Rickman explains how the Nazis stole the possessions of their Jewish victims and obtained the cooperation of institutions across Europe in these crimes of convenience. He also describes how those institutions are being brought to justice, sixty years later, for their retention of their ill-gotten gains. Rickman not only explains how the robbery was accomplished, tracked, stalled, and then finally reversed, but also clearly shows the ways in which robbery was inextricably connected to the murder of the Jews. The Nazis took everything from Jews--their families, their possessions, and even their names. As with the murder of Jews, the Nazis' robbery was an organized, institutionalized effort. Jews were isolated, robbed, and left homeless, regarded as parasites in the Nazis' eyes, and thus fair game. In short, the organized robbery of the Jews facilitated their slaughter. How did the German people come to believe that it was permissible to isolate, outlaw, rob, and murder Jews? A partial explanation can be found in the Nazis' creation of a virtual religion of German nationalism and homogeneity that delegitimized Jews as a people and as individuals. This belief system was expressed through a complex structure of religious rules, practices, and institutions. While Nazi ideology was the guiding principle, how that ideology was formed and how it was applied is important to understand if one is to fully grasp the Holocaust. Rickman painstakingly describes the structural composition and motivation for the plundering of Jewish assets. The Holocaust will always remain a memory of unequalled pain and suffering, but, as Rickman shows, the return of stolen goods to their survivors is a partial victory for the long aggrieved. "Conquest and Redemption" will be of interest to students and scholars in the history of the Holocaust and its aftermath.

Carlton Smith had everything a man his age could want: looks, money, women falling at his feet. When he meets Violet, a younger, more innocent woman than he's accustomed to, he can't believe his bad luck. She's everything he needs and nothing he's supposed to have. Smart, sexy, and sassy, Violet is also his friend Harry's only daughter. Redemption can be read as a standalone but is best served after having read Impulse, the first book of The Conquest Series. There will be steamy sex scenes, daddy kink, bling where the sun don't shine, and--most importantly--love. "Jealous, baby girl? Wish you were in my bed instead of them?" He smirked at her slightly, and she returned a small frown. "In your dreams, lover boy," she threw back at him. "I have no wish to be in your bed at any time in the near--or far-off--future. I've never been one to want what everyone else could attain so easily." That knocked the smirk right off Carlton's face, and he took a predatory step toward the woman. He lowered his voice further as he stated, "You'll be eating those words when I have my head buried between your legs and licking your p***y until you scream yourself hoarse as you come." Violet blinked twice at him, trying not to show her shock at his filthy words. "Keep dreaming," she retorted when she was finally able to gather her wits about her. "Oh, I have been, and I will," he said softly, a furious glint in his eye. That threw Violet off her game, and she walked past him briskly, heading toward the bathroom he had come out of just a few moments before. Carlton strode back to the rest of the party, thinking he had won a small but important victory over the girl in the end.

"The Conquest of Nations: 7 Nations that War within your Land" is a prophetically inspired writing, grounded in Scriptural doctrines and allegories, focusing on the internal spiritual battles faced by believers today. This book delves into the concept of man as a nation, emphasizing the importance of spiritual warfare and the conquest of internal enemies for personal spiritual growth. The book is structured in two parts: the first part discusses the spiritual notion of man as a nation and the necessity of rising with knowledge against the enemies of your soul. The second part focuses on the '7 nations' that contend within the spiritual land of believers, offering insights on how to subdue these internal adversaries using Scriptural guidance. This work is intended for Christians committed to deepening their faith, understanding the spiritual dimensions of their struggles, and seeking a closer relationship with Jesus Christ. It is a call to actively engage in spiritual warfare and to press on progressively to the complete possession of the soul as admonished in 1 Peter 1:9, using the wisdom and guidance found in the Scriptures.
