The Great Taxicab Robbery by James H. Collins. In 1912, $25,000 was stolen during a bank transfer in New York City in broad daylight. In what may appear astonishing in today's world, the transfer occurred in a New York City taxicab. This factual account brings true crime of the early twentieth century to life. The various methods used by the detectives and police in their attempts to solve the mystery behind the robbery, and hopefully bring the thieves to justice, makes for great reading, particularly when one considers the fact that the accounts occurred over a century ago, and are quite ...

Four Max Carrados Detective Stories, by Ernest Bramah. Ernest Bramah is mainly known for his ‘Kai Lung’ books - Dorothy L Sayers often used quotes from them for her chapter headings.

Max Carrados was however probably the first blind detective.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://...

Daughter of the Sky: The Story of Amelia Earhart by Paul L. Briand, Jr. This is an engaging biography of the renowned aviator. In his introduction, Briand says, " Amelia Earhart was one of America’s great heroines; her life was in many ways unique. She was one of a kind, and the fabric of her life was woven of strands that are rarely produced: she had an insatiable curiosity about everything in life—ideas, books, people, places, mechanical things; she loved all kinds of sports and games, especially those “only for boys”; she fidgeted with an implacable unrest to experiment, to try ...

The preface to the KJV Bible is fitting to read, as it reminds contemporary readers of the transitory nature of all Bible translations.

If you read this preface, or hear it, you will be able to unravel many false teachings associated with the exclusive use of one version.
