Book Description
There is something special about the eagle that for centuries it has been recognised by nations, kingdoms and empires as the king of the birds. Its image has been reproduced on coins, seals, emblems and flags. And God in His word tells us that of all the birds of the air, the eagle is one of the birds that His people are to be identified with.

Book Description
When Napoleons Grand Armee went to war against the might of the Habsburg empire in 1809, its forces included more than 100,000 allied German troops. From his earliest imperial campaigns, these troops provided played a key role as Napoleon swept from victory to victory and in 1809 their fighting abilities were crucial to the campaign. With Napoleons French troops depleted and debilitated after the long struggle in the Spanish War, the German troops for the first time played a major combat role in the centre of the battle line. Aiming at a union of German states under French protection to replace the decrepit Holy Roman Empire, Napoleon sought to expand French influence in central Germany at the expense of the Austrian and Prussian monarchies, ensuring Frances own security. The campaign Napoleon waged in 1809 was his career watershed. He suffered his first reverse at Aspern. Victory was achieved at Wagram was not the knock-out blow he had envisaged. In this epic work, John Gill presents an unprecedented and comprehensive study of this year of glory for the German soldiers fighting for Napoleon, When combat opened they were in the thick of the action, fighting within French divisions and often without any French support atall. They demonstrated tremendous skill, courage and loyalty.

Book Description
This is the autobiography of Eddie the Eagle, whose incredible life inspired the hit film starring Hugh Jackman, Taron Egerton, and Christopher Walken. Short and stocky, sporting thick glasses prone to fogging, Eddie was nobody’s athletic ideal. Through struggle, sacrifice, even near-starvation—this British plasterer made his dream a reality: competing in the 1988 Olympic Games in Calgary. Here, in his own words, is Eddie’s story—from the schoolboy stunts that developed his physical courage, to the menial labor that paid for training, to the qualifying jumps that had millions around the world glued to their television sets to watch him. Eddie the Eagle is the tale of an ordinary man’s extraordinary journey above and beyond expectations . . . a journey that rocketed this ultimate underdog to an Olympic legend.

Book Description
As I have specified many times, I started life by working for and with others. That is the only way to begin it, if you did not have a silver spoon in your mouth at birth. Imagine wanting to start a business but not having seed money, and without a friend or relative out there to lend you a helping hand. I did not have either advantage from the beginning-no seed money and no helping hand, therefore the only option for me was to work and save to raise some capital myself. Working for others did not only help me raise capital, it also enabled me acquire experiences and ideas which later facilitated immensely in building my own business. These days I see many people going into businesses without first going through some form of training or even serving as apprentices under people with the know-how. That is rather risky, and I do not know why someone would try to do that. Having some foreknowledge in anything we venture to do in life helps to mitigate our risks. Who would risk walking across a river without first finding out how deep it is? And it usually requires someone who has crossed that river before to tell us whether it is deep or shallow. In my case, I worked for others in the import and export industry for many years before starting my company. I had acquired many experiences and thought it was time I brought all that to bear. Having considered a lot of factors, I walked to my boss one day and asked that he accept my resignation. To me, that was more respectful than writing a letter. My boss had been very kind to me, and I felt I should reciprocate his kindness by having a one-on-one discussion with him over my intentions to resign. Although his children's behaviour was rather obnoxious, I thought I needed to maintain a healthy relationship with the man himself since he personally had not offended me in any way. It was very early in the morning when I got to my boss's house. He thought I had come to discuss something concerning my work, but to his dismay, I dropped the bombshell. For some time he was speechless, indicating the level of his perplexity. "I may be leaving, Sir," I said, "but I'll be available to help in any area where my assistance would be needed." Upon this assurance, he gave a deep sigh, and I could very well understand his crestfallen look. We had worked together for a long time and he knew I had played a very critical role in the success of the business. He had confidence in my competencies and my strong work ethic so I could understand how difficult this was for him. "I know you don't mean any harm," my boss said when he finally found his voice, "but I am aware what your exit means to this company." I nodded with my head still bent down. I did not want him to solicit my sympathy with his grief-stricken mood. He begged me to stay for some six months so I could help train someone to take over from me. To prove to him that I did not have any malicious intent, I accepted to do as he had requested. Five months into the training programme, however, I realized it would definitely take longer than six months for the new guy to be well-versed in our operations because he was a bit slow on the uptake. I reported my observations to my boss and this time, he allowed me to go. McDan was started with minimal capital. Though I had some savings, the money that was available at that time was nothing, compared to what I had in mind to do, but I saw some opportunities ahead and I knew I could tap into them. My many years of working in the field had brought me into contact with many friends and acquaintances. I also had an in-depth knowledge of the terrains of Shipping and Logistics. It was, therefore, not difficult for me to acquire certain requisite documents and facilities that I needed to have before I could start operations. I am proud to add that my conduct and high professionalism over the years had also endeared me to many people in authority.

Book Description
Beginning with The Skystone, the first in his riveting Camulod Chronicles, Jack Whyte has embarked on an ambitious and remarkable re-telling of the Arthurian cycle, giving us a fresh and compelling take on a story that has been beloved for centuries. The Eagle brings us at last to the heart of the tale, the creation of fabled Camelot and the love story that enshrined its glory. Whyte takes us into the minds and lives of Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot, three astonishing but fallible people who were bound together by honor, loyalty, and love. Three who created the glory that was Britain's shining dream...and, some say, caused its downfall. The Gaulish nobleman Clothar—known in our time as Lancelot—is drawn to the young High King's court by tales of honor and nobility, where he meets a man whose love of law matches his own. More, he finds in Arthur a life-long friend whose dream of uniting the people of Britain in peace Clothar embraces. And Clothar meets Arthur's queen, a wondrous beauty whose passion and ideals match her husband's. Together they work to bring Arthur's dream to life. But dark forces rise in opposition to Arthur's plans for creating this noble island nation and it is hard to tell friend from foe in the swirling chaos that ensues. Many tales have been told of the dream that shined and died. This one will astonish even the most jaded. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book Description
This Personal Application Workbook is designed to help you apply the Scriptural principles presented in the Faith in the Night Seasons textbook. The goal and purpose of every Christian is to be "conformed into the image of Christ." A true Biblical night season is a Father-filtered period of time designed to do just that. God deprives us of the natural light that we are so used to, in order that He might strengthen our faith and we might come to know Him in His fullness.
