Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - You've seen the images from Hollywood. Macho, tough, with an almost John Wayne air about him, the fighter pilot has been famously portrayed as a gallant warrior. Now, take a look behind the scenes at a different look at the fighter pilot. Gone is the mystique and sense of danger. Instead is a fresh…look at the comical aspects of being a fighter pilot; events, scenarios, during war and during peacetime, that show quite a different picture of the 'hard as nails' image of the fighter pilot. Fictitious callsigns such as 'Maverick' and 'Ghostrider' are replaced with 'Moe,' 'Larry', and 'Curly.' Yes, there are scenes where these nonchalant, easygoing fighter-pilot types are racing through the sky, boring holes in the clouds, going supersonic; but it's how and why they are there that makes the story interesting. Shooting rockets at the wrong target, scrambling to takeoff in the middle of the night from a dead sleep, ejecting from the aircraft after breaking it apart on the ground, getting lost while airborne, frantically trying to strafe a Soviet jet --- these are all the stories about real flying that never make the headlines of the daily paper. Working hard and playing hard, the fighter pilot genre is shown anew, much to the reader's delight. Those who have pressed the edge and lived to talk about it know these stories; those aspiring to do so will simply be amazed, ready to stand in line for their turn.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - It Only Hurts For . A Lifetime A mother gives up her privacy in opening a door to the intimacy of her attempts to deal with the dislocating family problems common to the lives of so many parents. This nonfiction memoir by Jill Stone offers advice and counsel to those caught up in the trauma of simil…ar circumstances as it lays bare a real story about real people coming to terms with their frustrations, learning to change what they can and live with what they can't. Every mother who reads the book will be moved to relive the joy and sadness of experiences that parallel those revealed by the author. It Only Hurts For . A Lifetime is a fast read but unequalled in its substance and intensity. It is a mother's memoir that penetrates the human experience. It poses the question: Is there any profession more demanding than parenting, more rewarding, or more worthy of commitment 'Who among us' the author asks 'doesn't have regrets for the mistakes we've made ' It is Jill's hope that the manner in which she met the challenges she faced and the attempts she made to free herself from anxiety might serve as guideposts for those coping with strained family relationships. As she moves from the introduction to the first chapter, she sets the stage with a discussion of the unique heritage that surrounded her as she grew to maturity. She talks of the strong neighborhood identities that spawned lasting relationships that began in the city of Philadelphia and persisted in the migration to the suburbs. She goes on to describe the traumatizing effects of her parents' divorce, the end of her own marriage and how her three children dealt with that calamity. Jill's fear was that she would be penalized for the rest of her life. Her deepest frustration being the long-lasting and profound impact of the divorce on her younger daughter which led to the loss of contact with her daughter's children who have not been allowed to see her. It is a situation that invades her dreams and turns them into nightmares. Readers will not be able to put the book down as the author's son, in his own words, details the horrific events in which he fell victim to the drug culture, lost his freedom and working against the odds, found the road back in a journey from Hell. It is a case study proving that rehabilitation can work. You will feel that you are with him behind the prison bars as he wondered . 'How long will it take for the carnivores to begin working on me ' Jill says it was an agony that she will never be able to purge from her memory. She gives thanks for getting her son back and for the solid citizen he is today. This chapter carries a message of hope to the many parents who are living through the torture of a child gone wrong. The author also discusses the seeming breakdown of parental control, the power and influence of peer groups, reflections on what she might have done differently, and how she made her life more full. She says if readers find something of value in what she has written, she will have been amply rewarded.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Michael Hugh Lythgoe grew up in Evansville, Indiana. A retired Air Force officer, he holds an MFA from Bennington College. He worked for the Smithsonian Institution, and directed an educational foundation. He lives in Aiken, SC. His collection, BRASS, won the Kinloch Rivers chapbook contest in 2006.… His poems, reviews and interviews appear in Windhover, The Writer's Chronicle, Christianity & Literature, The Caribbean Writer. Praise for BRASS: 'In the riveting, precise language of an experienced poet, Lythgoe not only probes the horror of war with uncanny clarity and insight but leavens it with exquisite poems about art and color' (Larry Thomas, author of Where Skulls Speak Wind). Lythgoe's poems are frequently in tense settings facing potential destruction, yet they 'seem to morph into the natural or the homespun without any sense of irony.almost hypnotic sonority.' (John Harris, editor of Praesidium) Prasise for Holy Week: 'Shifting in remarkably spry fashion from gargoyles to bear-men to Degas to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to knee surgery to Ash Wednesday, Lythgoe's poems read like a travelogue through .one man's diversely lived and deeply considered life. His poems are at once serious, surreal, and sacrosanct. In his work, tragedy and triumph are inevitable bedfellows (case in point, the poignant and mournful 'Easter Sonnet'). Returning is all about the leaving, he writes. At their most profound, these poems are poems of loss. At 'his' most profound, he is a poet of redemption (Jill Alexander Essbaum, author of Harlot). From the Foreward by Audell Shelburne: 'There is a Renaissance concept.known as copiousness, a fullness and richness that comes when a poem is complete, expansive, whole. It gains in richness from the texture of the details. It adds depth through the insight and thought of a considerate, kind and intelligent poet. Lythgoe's work is copious.'.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - If you are reading this book, you are doing so because you were drawn by the title, design, colors, or maybe even someone's recommendation. It is, however, most likely that you were drawn by the part of you that knows no barriers, cannot be broken, will not be dominated, and always triumphs - the pa…rt of you that was designed to win, hit the mark, accomplish the task, make the goal, achieve in every thing you do. If you are not experiencing a satisfying level of personal success and achievement in every area of your life, it is, no doubt, due to the underachiever within you. Who or what is the underachiever The underachiever serves as an inhibitor and represents the culmination of negative and false ideas and concepts that have attached themselves to your belief system. This includes but is not limited to any experiences or events that have caused you fear, pain, rejection, or abandonment. These kinds of experiences and events can produce obstacles, cause struggles, and create troubles in a person's life that hinder them from ever reaching their potential or becoming what they were designed to be. What most people don't realize is that they do have the power to move beyond these hindrances. All humans are born with the power to overcome their obstacles, endure their struggles, and outlast their troubles. They simply need to know how to activate and use that power. The most powerful inhibitor a person can have is an emotional inhibitor. An emotional inhibitor is a stronghold in a person's life that governs his mind and will. It keeps him from growing beyond the emotional gap that has been created by the hurt or pain associated with the event that onset the emotion. Most people settle on this side of the emotional gap and never even try to bridge the abyss of fear and lies that are now filling the gap. It is this process that facilitates the growth of the underachiever. Why dream There is indeed something very special about you. You were created to do something unique in your time and space. You were born to be great. Something was placed inside of you and designed to impact your world. It is your dream. Your dream is your pathway to greatness and you can get on the path at any stage of life. Why is it so important to dream Your dream is like a window between your past and your future through which you move from where you were to where you were designed to be. It's the vehicle God wants to use to bless your future and make it greater than your past. Your dream is your ability to turn anything in your life into anything you want it to be. It is your power to get or have your needs, wants, hopes, and desires. It is your license to create something out of nothing. It is your right to explore the unknown. It is the ticket to your tomorrow. It is the key that unlocks your potential. It is your privilege to imagine the possibilities. It is your opportunity to live life the way it was meant to be lived. If you are to live life the way it was meant to be lived, you must dream. If you are to dream, you must dethrone the underachiever within you. The greatest human struggle today is the struggle to fight off the underachiever, the image of ourselves that is contrary to our design. This struggle is one of the primary reasons why our young people have such a difficult time with their true identity and self-image. We have moved so far away from the truth that, for some, the truth no longer exists as a valid option, but rather an outdated myth. And so we struggle today with losing our teens and young adults to alternatives to truth that are designed to steer them away from the real truth and keep them distanced from purpose and destiny. Yes, there is an all out attack to keep our young people in particular from finding out the truth about who they really are. Why poetry Poetry has been an instrumental vehicle in my pursuit of purpose. It has served as a means of discovery, definition, clarification, commu.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - God's DNA: 'Spirit Life Paradigm'There have been all kinds of explanations suggested for what happened at Pentecost. When God first poured out his Spirit's Life upon the church it became obvious that God was at work. Many explanations of what happened at Pentecost have reduced this spiritual phenome…non to a list of things we ought to be doing. What this approach to ministry forgets is that Pentecost was not about what we need to be doing. It is about what God was doing and what God continues to do by bringing Christ to dwell within God's people. Pentecost show us that you can't reduce the mystery of life in the Spirit to a ministry model that can be duplicated whenever we want. If it could wouldn't that have happened by now in America May I ask you to consider whether any ministry program has brought lasting revival to this nation What I believe we have seen is the hope for revival being shared; and we are very passionate about that. But our passion or our programs will not produce life in us or in others. Only God can do that! What we need is a fundamental transformation of our lives and ministries. Only the Spirit of God can cause a person to be born again (John 3:5-7). Only the Spirit of God can enable a walk with Jesus (Galatians 3:1-3). And only the Spirit of God can bring about the awakening and revival that this nation needs (Acts 4:31). Pentecost teaches us that it is not about having the right model for ministry. If anyone had a model for ministry that could not be improved upon it was Israel. God told Moses to make their ministry after the 'pattern' he had seen on the Mountain as he met with God (Exodus 25:9, 40). And while this ministry was to be preformed it had no power to transform the lives of those believers who faithfully sought to maintain its ritual because their hearts could not be changed by the outward observance of any law (Hebrews 7:19). The author of the Epistle to the Hebrews puts it this way, 'This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: 'See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain'' (Hebrews 8:5). 'But God found fault with the people and said, 'The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and I turned away from them. This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them upon their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.' By calling this covenant 'new,' he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear' (Hebrews 8:8-13). So it is not about getting our model for ministry right or about having the right program or is it about knowing Christ and walking as he did; but only the Spirit's presence in our lives can do that! The book of Acts shows this over and over again. Luke had already written the gospel named after him and he refers to this as 'my former book' when he starts his preface in Acts (Acts 1:1). He says that the gospel of Luke recorded, 'all that Jesus began to do and to teach until the day he was taken up to heaven.' He then wrote Acts which recorded what Jesus continued to do and teach, except now it is through the agency of the church as empowered by his Holy Spirit. Luke's record is a diary of what happened as God's presence returned to earth with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the church. Jesus was on the throne in glory but he did not remain separate from.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Author Jerry Fritzke flying first class in the cargo-rigged DC-3 into Kikwit, Zaire Africa. This is one of many flights he has taken in several out-of-the way countries around the world, such as Oman, Abu Dhabi, Sri Lanka and several times here in Zaire to solve a myriad of problems. Although each p…roblem had a technical slant, the solutions to them were usually made simply by 'being there' and working with the people who did this work every day. As a result, there were many side benefits, such as exciting rides over waterfalls and looking into the face of thirty-five foot high 'standing waves in the middle of the second largest river in the world. A crash here meant no rescue. Meanwhile, Jerry's wife Irene had to read headlines in the local newspaper saying 'Walnut Creek Man Missing in Africa' one week after Jerry left for Zaire. He's still around though.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Sam Cooper was a rugged southern gentleman from Tupelo, Mississippi. After Sam's father died suddenly, Sam and his wife Necee, inherited, the struggling hand-me-down farm. To keep the family farm from bankruptcy, along with his personal finances, Sam went to the North Slope and began working in a re…mote Inupiat village, as an engineer. Ten years later, he found himself still working in the Eskimo villages and away from a wife, who had begun to feel the sting of loneliness too deep, and was becoming resentful. After a year of working on the Slope and living in the construction camps, Sam developed a double life and personality. Every year Sam promised Necee he would come home and leave the Alaska life behind, never making good on his promises, until it was a little too late. After an encounter with a beautiful Athabascan native girl named Layla, Sam¿s life changed forever. Sam came to Alaska by invitation from his friend, Matt Healey. Matt was a young looking, sixty-year old Project Manager from Miami, Florida, who was married to Amy, a woman he never wanted to marry and had resented all their married life. After thirty-nine years of marriage, Matt's secret life on the Slope began to unravel, with plenty of help from the psychotic office manager, Delaney Delingfield, and the only woman Matt ever loved, McKenna Hayes. Delaney Delingfield was trouble with a capital T. Delaney slept with the upper crust of Gold Coast Oil and Gas, and used sexual blackmail to keep her job on the North Slope, where she made plenty of money to keep up her mischievous lifestyle, and evil games. Delaney had no self-esteem, no morals, and no conscience. She made the life of the people she worked with hell. During her first night at Camp Kinsey, in Kaktovik, Delaney met an attractive, racist Eskimo, by the name of Grey Antooguk. Together, their plans and schemes revealed many of the secrets the employees had in the village and in their personal lives. Grey Antooguk was a black, evil cloud over the village of Kaktovik. When Reed Shaw arrived with her husband Colton, the assistant Project Manager from Texas, Grey lost his heart and his mind. Reed was the only white person that Grey Antooguk ever wanted to befriend, and demanded to have. With Delaney's help and spying eyes, together they cooked up a plan for the Eskimo outlaw to have the white woman with hair the color of the sunset. Colton Shaw was the only man on the job that remotely appeared to have any moral character. He brought his wife on all the jobs and was allowed this favor because of his work expertise. Colton made plans for the Kaktovik job to be his last, so he and his wife could have a normal life back in Texas. One night in the village changed these plans forever. Brice Garrett, with his good looks and great smile, played the North Slope adultery field with Amelia Brighton, the new cook at Camp Kinsey, and Lauren Beckett, the Italian payroll clerk. After Brice's unfaithful wife Natalie, who lived in Seattle, found out that her husband was a little more than 'just involved' with Amelia, Delaney and a jealous Lauren crushed the two with a malicious hand. Amelia Brighton was a beautiful, petite blonde, who was hired as the new cook at Camp Kinsey. Amelia, with her good looks, belonged anywhere but the 'construction adult playground.' After a horrific sexual injustice was done to Amelia, Brice became her best friend and lover in camp. It looked like he was going to become her husband until Delaney Delingfield got involved, and changed three people¿s lives for the worst. Mark Jones, known as 'Nevada' by his Slope friends and his Saturday night poker buddies, had his fair share of mishaps on the job and in his personal life. Gambling away thousands of dollars in weekly poker games, and cruising pornography websites on the company dollar, Nevada finally came to terms with his addictions in a way no one ever wishes, eve.

She was sure that God had told her four years ago during one of her morning devotions that it was time to get off the pill and prepare for motherhood. Had she mis…taken her fantasies for His voice Were they similar enough to confuse Deanna's subsequent thoughts regarding having children were that she would put up a little effort, mix in some Holy Spirit and 'Walla,' it was going to work. How hard could it be to conceive a baby Women did it everyday, right James Carrington, Deanna's husband has to deal with demons of his own. For some unrevealed reason he has an eternal void that never seems to go away no matter how much he detaches himself from it. The lack of being a father only makes it worse. When it comes to being able to dig deep into his emotions to reveal his true self, James has always come up a failure. He guessed that's why it was always easier to talk to women with whom he was not intimately involved and who could not see his true self. When the weight of infertility gets too heavy, he turns to his past coping mechanisms for relief. Years after their infertility journey begins nothing soothes the dull ache the Carringtons feel when they are reminded that they are not parents yet. Everything in their lives suffers as a result. Their once together life begins to fall apart at the seams.

Ultimately, infertility is the exterior issue that impels them to focus on the true root of their problems. You will ride the waves with the Carringtons and their friends as their faith is tested when tragedy hits and they have to make decisions that change their lives forever. Through their ordeal Deanna and James learn what it really means to put their faith in God and to completely stand on His promises.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Considering the book title, one might be quick to conclude it is anti-Christian, but this is not a dissertation against Christianity, but against lies. Can Christianity face the truth that their doctrines do not come from the Bible as they claim, but have conversely forced the Bible to support this…modern version of ancient pagan Greek paganism 'Christos', (Christ) origin of the name 'Christianity', is a Greek word meaning, 'anointed one' (or anointed ones) which is what 'all' the Greek Gods were! They were all 'Christs', Zeus being the chief 'Christ'! The fault does not lie with Christians; they are simply passing on what they have been taught. The problem goes back to the first few centuries where the 'lies' began to be taught as truth. (By design) The last two millennia are not called 'the dark ages' for no reason! We are a world held captive by spiritual forces, but it is time for the spiritual truth to be unveiled and their lies exposed! It is written that the 'truth will set you free', but lies enslave! The time for truth has come and for those seeking 'Truth' to soar.
