Book Description
Beneath His Wings is the story of my life. Quoting from a bio someone else wrote: "Jenny Pruitt is revered in real estate circles and beyond as a community advocate and benefactor, and respected nationally as a visionary leader. From humble beginnings--the loss of her father, rejection by peers, helping her single mother in the post-War years as a child--to huge challenges later in her life--a bout with cancer and a lawsuit with one of the richest men in the world--she rose to unparalleled heights in the business world. She operates her company from the perspective of servant leadership and with godly practices--managing, mentoring, and encouraging others to be the best they can be while modeling those practices in her personal and professional life. Despite her numerous awards and accolades, Jenny gives all the glory for her success to God, whom she consults daily for guidance and direction. This book is a part of her rich legacy.

Following the bestselling novels The Left Hand of God and The Last Four Things comes the final installment of Paul Hoffman’s stark, epic trilogy. Thomas Cale has been running from the truth…. Since discovering that his brutal military training has been for one purpose—to destroy God’s greatest mistake, mankind itself—Cale has been hunted by the very man who made him into the Angel of Death: Pope Redeemer Bosco.

But Thomas Cale’s soul is dying. As his body is racked with convulsions, he knows that the final judgment will not wait. As the day of reckoning draws close, Cale’s sense of vengeance leads him back to the heart of darkness—the Sanctuary—and to confront the person he hates most in the world….

Over the Top
Author: Michael Paris
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313057087
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
During the Great War, books and stories for young men were frequently used as unofficial propaganda for recruitment and to sell the war to British youth as a moral crusade. Until now, this literature has been neglected by academics, but the image of the war these fictions created was remarkably enduring and, despite the appearance of post-war literature of disillusioned veterans, continued to shape the attitudes of the young well into the 1930s. This is the first detailed account of how adventure fiction represented the Great War for British boys between 1914 and the end of the war. Paris examines how such literature explained the causes of the war to boys and girls and how it encouraged young men to participate in the noble crusade on the Western Front and in other theaters. He explores the imagery of the trenches, the war in the air, and the nature of war in the Middle East and Africa. He also details the links between popular writers and the official literary propaganda campaign. The study concludes by looking at how these heroic images remained in print, enduring well into the inter-war years.

Airlines and Air Mail
Author: F. Robert van der Linden
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 081318441X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 604
Book Description
Conventional wisdom credits only entrepreneurs with the vision to create America's commercial airline industry and contends that it was not until Roosevelt's Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938 that federal airline regulation began. In Airlines and Air Mail, F. Robert van der Linden persuasively argues that Progressive republican policies of Herbert Hoover actually fostered the growth of American commercial aviation. Air mail contracts provided a critical indirect subsidy and a solid financial foundation for this nascent industry. Postmaster General Walter F. Brown used these contracts as a carrot and a stick to ensure that the industry developed in the public interest while guaranteeing the survival of the pioneering companies. Bureaucrats, entrepreneurs, and politicians of all stripes are thoughtfully portrayed in this thorough chronicle of one of America's most resounding successes, the commercial aviation industry.
