Gripped by the Greatness of God
When was the last time you were really and truly gripped by God's greatness? Most Christians recall heartfelt resolutions around a fire at bible camp as children, and perhaps a revival meeting or two. But what causes the fervor of those experiences to translate into a consistent life pattern? Pastor and author James MacDonald believes that the better we understand God, the better we understand ourselves, and the less likely we are to favor our own will over God's. He writes:'God is not safe and He will not be squeezed into some neat, respectable Sunday discussion..No. To Know God at all is to watch Him explode any box we put Him in with His terror, majesty and indescribable wonder.'Expounding upon Isaiah's encounters with God, MacDonald prods snoozing saints to rediscover the wonder of God's attributes. He also shares candidly from his experiences in life and ministry where God proved Himself to be the Great I AM. This book will spur new and seasoned believers alike to detest mediocrity in their spiritual walks. Ideal for individual or small group study. .

A Question of Loyalty: Gen. Billy Mitchell and the Court-Martial That Gripped the Nation
It had all the ingredients of a movie drama:a scandal that grips Washington and touches the White House; bitter battles and backroom intrigue at the highest levels of the U.S. military; glamorous women who make or break the careers of powerful men; a high-stakes trial with a celebrity defendant who captures the nation's attention ... A Question of Loyalty plunges into the seven-week Washington trial of Gen. William "Billy" Mitchell, the hero of the U.S. Army Air Service during World War I and the man who proved in 1921 that planes could sink a battleship. In 1925 Mitchell was frustrated by the slow pace of aviation development, and he sparked a political firestorm, accusing the army and navy high commands, and by inference the president, of treason and criminal negligence in the way they conducted national defense. He was put on trial for insubordination in a spectacular court-martial that became a national obsession during the Roaring Twenties. Douglas Waller has crafted a compelling new biography of the daring Billy Mitchell, a larger-than-life figure remembered as much for his outspokenness as for his innovations in the use of airpower. Waller has uncovered a trove of new letters, diaries, and confidential documents that have enabled him to capture in detail the drama of the court and to build a rich and revealing biography of Mitchell, one of the army's most controversial and flamboyant generals. Born to a millionaire Midwest family at the end of the 1870s, Mitchell joined the military at the age of eighteen and became one of its rising stars. During World War I, he led the largest armada of airplanes ever to attack an enemy force and returned to the United States a dashing young general with a chest full of medals and a radical vision of airpower as the only decisive instrument for future wars. But as the military shrank in the postwar years, Mitchell became increasingly impatient and vocal, lashing out at bureaucratic enemies he accused of impeding airpower's progress. After a tragic airship accident that shocked the nation, he publicly blasted the War and Navy Departments for their handling of aviation and was put on trial for it. A Question of Loyalty is a story about Washington politics, about love and betrayal, about heroes in battle, about determined lawyers and powerful military men pitted against one another in a courtroom..

FEARless: Ordinary people doing extraordinary things in a world gripped by fear.
Fearless combines front-line scientific information about the nature of our universe with fascinating material addressing the deepest recesses of the human soul. To be read and enjoyed by everyone keen on knowing what this world -- and we ourselves -- are really like. Prof. Dr. Ervin Laszlo, Founder and President, Club of Budapest This novel provides a harrowing account of how fear creeps into the lives of whole nations, taking over so gradually that it taints government policies and infects their citizens before they even realize it is there. Only the powerful drive to live and thrive can dispel it. But is the compelling all-win principle sufficient to stop the epidemic of fear that has most of the world in its grip? The story opens in Maurice's sumptuous mansion on the idyllic Costa Rican shore where we meet Bertram, author and business consultant, recovering from a burnout. In his wallet, he carries a newspaper clipping about the elusive Eliza. He longs to meet her. Little does he suspect how many lives will eventually depend on their ability to work closely together.Here, we also meet Pim, a prominent systems scientist who, with his peers at the U.N.'s University of Peace, seeks ways to halt the epidemic of fear. Already fear is causing wholesale slaughter in the nation of Kukundu, gaining momentum in more than 100 dictatorships, and has almost imperceptibly secured a stranglehold on the "free" world. In the background lurk the Masters of Fear themselves, the Holy Order of the Snake, close to gaining control of our world.When Mary with her crew of young people arrive at Maurice's mansion, it becomes clear that there is still a chance to stop the fear epidemic, if they each mobilize their extensive connections with young people and activists worldwide.As we experience the heights to which the human spirit can soar, we recognize the amount of power that is available to "ordinary" people to heal the wounds that fear has caused. The narrative leads us to people at.
