There are plenty of great books out there to help you find your way. This book is aimed at giving you elements in a short direct manner. One criticism is that there is too much for "These Millennials" to understand. I disagree, seeing further down the road always helps in preparing for a journey. The fact is that you, as a unique individual, have a path that can lead to greatness. Finding that path is not easy, but it is very worth it. The Journey will challenge you to question everything you learned and use your uniqueness as the criteria for that evaluation. It is, after all, you that has the task to find that individual within you. You will make mistakes and we will look at how viewing them will empower you toward growth.

From outrageously edgy capital-sourcing to all-out combat with competitors and the FAA, you will experience what entrepreneurial hardball is really about.

Anyone searching for greater opportunity can learn valuable lessons about determination, personal resourcefulness, ethical limits, and hope from this true story. Fueled by anger and obsessed with justice, I went from an unemployed Eastern Air Lines pilot to founder and CEO of the "Best Airline in America" in two years. Without a penny or a clue, I started KIWI International Air Lines by tapping into the deepest needs of my bruised, battered, and out-of-work Eastern Air Lines colleagues. In March 1989, the Eastern pilots, mechanics, and flight attendants walked out on strike. The company eventually failed, and 27,000 workers lost many of the best jobs in America. Some built new lives, some muddled through, and some never recovered. But several hundred invested their money and talents with me to create an exciting new career opportunity. In 1993, Conde Naste Traveler named KIWI "Best Airline in America." By combining financial, professional, and personal resources we reclaimed our dignity from a collusive triad of industry, government, and union agendas that had done its best to destroy us. Instead of cowering and giving up, we joined forces, believed in each other, and overcame every obstacle in our path. The risky journey began in early 1990 as nothing but a crazy dream, and the first flight took off in September of 1992. When I left in 1995 KIWI was a $120,000,000 airline employing 1,

SUBUNE is a thought-provoking guide to life and spiritual liberty, written by Dr. Elston Ricky Perry, aka Dr. P, to help men grow the capacity, capability, and faith to live abundant lives. Each chapter is organized by male roles, such as man, soldier, and elder-with related scriptures, affirmations, words of wisdom, and discussion questions. "We must stop using the term O.G., or Original Gangster, and replace it with O.B., Original Brother," Dr. P says. "We must reclaim our right, ordered, and proper place." The energy and passion of this book is contagious. Dr. P has markedly increased participation, engagement, and membership of men in all the churches he has led as pastor, and he serves as a consultant to other churches as well. His greatest joy is seeing husbands, sons, and brothers lead their families in Christian living.

One of the advantages of age, getting older (perhaps even maturing), is refection on our youth, and on life in general...and although we can only visit, and seldom actually return to our roots, the mental journey is always with us...Cora Ford Ingram has made the physical, mental, and spiritual journeys home many times and while she currently resides in Grenada, MS with her husband Steve, she has recorded, to the best of her "recollection", the journey of her youth growing up in Pontotoc, Mississippi. Her memories of early life as part of a family nurtured, sheltered, and shielded, on a tenant farm, being a student at Pontotoc Attendance Center after consolidation but before integration, entering adult life by going to college, then marriage and parenthood...along the way, she "finds herself" (many times over) and now is testing both her voice, the veracity of her memory, and Her-story...it is a journey, personal, private, and public...it is the record to be titled: Sharecroppers' Daughter...you are invited to read and witness fragments from each of our lives retold...looking back, and looking inward finding the connecting threads of which the fabric is made...it is a narrative, a search, a summative review, a beginning, again...

Discover the Key To Staying Saved For All Eternity! "...Scripture teaches us that the love of many will grow cold in the last days; and that "many, many, many" will turn away from the faith.." God's plan is to restore all things to their former glory. God's main focus is "people." I believe with all my heart that if God sees the church faithful to His vision for the people of God, "The Vision" of each ministry would be dramatically fulfilled because God would "...add to the church daily those who are being saved."
