@kwok_phil Congratulations!

Lee Child is the man behind the Jack Reacher series. He's sold more than 200 million books, and two of his books were adapted into movies starring Tom Cruise.

How popular are his books? In the UK, his series has sold more copies than J.K Rowling did with Harry Potter on Amazon. So at this point, you basically can't talk about contemporary crime and thriller books without talking about Lee Child.

This interview is all about how he wrote that Jack Reacher series. To the best of my knowledge, it's the deepest interview he's ever done about his writing process.

You might like him or not, but Donald Trump is the only president in the world with the courage to pay tribute to the Savior of history.

Mel Gibson spent 7 years writing the sequel to The Passion of the Christ, with help from theologians and historians to ensure biblical/historical accuracy.

Filming began in August 2025 in Italy.

This is the most ambitious Christian film ever made.

Finished the entire Bible it’s been a 13 month word by word page by page no skimming journey. Humbled, enlightened and amazed at what I read and what I learned. I will rest and meditate on so much. I will begin it again.

The question I get most often is will there be more Amari books? It just so happens there are two more books on the way!

God is good and God is faithful! No matter what you’re facing, take a moment to remember how far He has brought you. There is always something to be thankful for.

“For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever, and His faithfulness to all generations.” Psalm 100:5

@elonmusk Very few or zero because very few or zero countries are trying to exploit the United States.

[Sarudzai Mubvakure (Saru Inspiration) @saruauthor]

@gbensouss @elonmusk How do these photos indicate Frances superiority over Africa. What Africa had prior to colonisation was different. different does not equate to inferior. They are not synonyms. Someone who feels inferior is easier to exploit. Africa is the worlds breadbasket.

this BBC interview with a guy outside the security perimeter who claims he saw the shooter before he fired is absolutely wild

@unhealthytruth @ogun11112 @libsoftiktok Maybe the slave owners twisted it to taunt their victims by saying good mourning. This is probably what has been shared as stories in the families affected by slavery. We went there but maybe former slaves shared experiences. Its her history. Let's respect.

@Strangelove101 @unhealthytruth @libsoftiktok She never mentioned the word racist

[Sarudzai Mubvakure (Saru Inspiration) @saruauthor]

@Guntherferris1 @unhealthytruth @libsoftiktok There is also perpetual guilt. Slavery was a bad time which affected both the victims and the perpetrators. Pain and Guilt travel down the generations. Doesn't matter if we were there or not. We were all affected no matter the race. Its time to heal.
