Alan Bullock fue un historiador británico cuyo trabajo se centró en figuras clave del siglo XX. Ganó renombre por sus completas biografías de Adolf Hitler, examinando meticulosamente su ascenso al poder y su ideología subyacente. La perspectiva de Bullock evolucionó con el tiempo, retratando inicialmente a Hitler como un político oportunista antes de reconocerlo más tarde como un ideólogo impulsado. Sus estudios comparativos, como 'Hitler y Stalin: Vidas Paralelas', arrojan más luz sobre la naturaleza de los regímenes antagónicos. La prosa precisa y el profundo análisis de Bullock lo establecen como una voz significativa en la erudición histórica.
A comparative study of the lives and careers of Hitler and Stalin. Alternate chapters on each serve both to draw contrasts and highlight parallels. The author gives his reasons for believing that the key to an understanding the character of the two is the same.

Throughout God's Word it is clear that our Father longs for us to have an intimate relationship with Him. Sometimes, however, we can get locked behind doors of lack, sickness, sin and missed opportunity.

Alan Bullock guides you through 48 Scriptural keys, unlocking the doors to continued growth and wholeness. Here you'll find the keys of freedom, spiritual maturity, conquest and much more.
