One of the most acclaimed books of our time, winner of both the Pulitzer and the Francis Parkman prizes, The Power Broker tells the hidden story behind the shaping (and mis-shaping) of twentieth-century New York (city and state) and makes public what few have known: that Robert Moses was, for almost half a century, the single most powerful man of our time in New York, the shaper not only of the city's politics but of its physical structure and the problems of urban decline that plague us today. ![]() ![]() ![]() Let’s dive in and explore each part a bit more. 17-21) is really disturbing and shows the corruption of the people of Israel as a whole.

There’s a large introduction in chapters 1-2 that sets the stage for Israel’s failure as they don’t drive out the remaining Canaanites like they were told to.

Now, be warned, the book of Judges is disturbing and violent. Don’t think of a courtroom here, because these were regional, political, and military leaders, more like tribal chieftains. Before they had any kings, the tribes of Israel were ruled by judges. The book’s name comes from the types of leaders Israel had in this period. The book of Judges begins with the death of Joshua and, unfortunately, tells the story of Israel’s total failure. In the previous book, Joshua finally led the tribes of Israel into the promised land, calling on them to be faithful to their covenant with God by obeying the commands of the Torah and being an example to other nations. ![]() ![]() ![]() “After the final stone was played I was in disbelief that we had managed to win and exceed the expectations we had put on ourselves.” “The semi-final win was so exciting,” Chloe told the Perthshire Advertiser.
