    Christian Encounters, a series of biographies from Thomas Nelson Publishers, highlights important lives from all ages and areas of the Church. Some are familiar faces. Others are unexpected guests. But all, through their relationships, struggles, prayers, and desires, uniquely illuminate our shared experience. The author of The Pilgrim's Progress, one of the most influential books in English literature, had little formal education. Born in 1628, the son of a tinker, John Bunyan was expected to follow in his father's footsteps. He was allowed to go to school for a few years and purchase a few books, but his apprenticeship in the family business took precedence. Bunyan experienced his first sorrow in adolescence, when both his mother and sister died. It wasn't his last. Revolutions and wars were all around him, and he was jailed twice for preaching the Gospel. Yet amidst repeated imprisonments, civil war, and violent persecution, Bunyan crafted The Pilgrim's Progress, a testament unlike any other to the triumph of the human spirit. His simple cadences transformed the language, and his memorable characters became familiar to millions. Bunyan became a public figure, a captivating speaker, and above all, a man known for his unrelenting trust in God. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robertson Dean.

    Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Johns was commissioned at the RAF College Cranwell in 1959 after completing flying training on Piston Provost and Meteor aircraft. Following 9 years service as an operational fast-jet pilot, primarily on the Harrier, he commanded both a Harrier squadron and the Harrier Force in Germany, then became a qualified flying instructor during which time he taught The Prince of Wales to wings standard. A succession of national and NATO senior appointments followed, culminating in his promotion to Chief of the Air Staff and Air ADC to the Queen. On retirement in April 2000, he became Constable and Governor of Windsor Castle. A past chairman of the Board of Trustees of the RAF Museum, he is now president of the RAF Historical Society. His illustrious career gave him the privilege of a rare, if not singular, perspective of the RAF, our sister services and national defence matters, witnessing a steady decline in the combat power of the UK's armed forces as financial management took precedence over identifying strategic priorities and maintaining the vital skill-set of service personnel. His views are forensic and forthright, balanced and thought-provoking and this autobiography should be essential reading for anyone interested in the development of Allied air power over the last 50 years. ungekürzt.

    When you realize that it’s unnecessary to think all the time, something miraculous happens: who you are beyond the self-image in your head begins to emerge. Join Eckhart Tolle in The Secret of Self-Realization for an intensive two-session program pointing us toward the firsthand experience of our essential nature beyond the mind. After years of anxiety and depression, how was it that Eckhart came to suddenly realize a vastness of peace and inner freedom? Through the cessation of the thinking that was creating all of the drama in the first place, Eckhart discovered a sense of identity beyond “the little me.” The Secret of Self-Realization invites you to transcend the frustration and dissatisfaction of a thought-based life to experience the liberation that unfolds when the dimension of “being” takes precedence. Explore: The inner body as the doorway to an “I” of infinite depth. The Now as a felt reality—not just an abstract concept. Egoic power versus the power of life. Connecting to the source of love and compassion. “Many of us are like transitional beings between two levels of consciousness,” explains Eckhart. The Secret of Self-Realization brings you vital teachings to help you meet the world in the awareness that precedes thought, connected to the limitless source of all that is. Language: English.

    Nova Esperança offers no future for Liege Neves as a gangrat and daughter of the favelas. With one goal in mind - to save her younger sister and ailing grandfather from a difficult and hopeless future - Liege's only option is the Federation Navy. Scoring higher on her entrance exams than anyone had expected, Liege enlists as a corpsman and hopes for a safe career that will allow her to get her Avó the help he requires. The needs of the Navy always take precedence, however, and instead of an expected hospital billet, Liege's life takes a dangerous turn when her first set of orders is to the Fleet Marine Corps instead. After being trained to heal and save lives, she is suddenly issued a weapon and thrust into combat to defend the Federation. Face-to-face with war, destruction, and the probability to both save and take lives, Liege must find the strength, discipline, and courage within herself to protect her family and brothers-in-arms and earn the time-honored title of "Doc." This is the third book in the series. Each book focuses on the careers of three women: two Marines and a Navy corpsmen.

    Based on the authors' extensive experience working with international board-level teams, Challenging Coaching suggests that for too long coaches have shied away from adopting a more challenging stance in their work - a stance that can provoke greater performance and unlock deeper potential in business leaders and their teams. In particular, the authors offer a new coaching approach, FACTS, to help coaches develop this challenging stance. The FACTS approach, with its emphasis on FeeDavies-Blackack, Accountability, Courageous Goals, Tension, and Systems Thinking, is explored in theory and in practice using case studies, example dialogues, and practical exercises. Long-held coaching principles such as being nondirective, building rapport ,and holding to the client's agenda are put under the spotlight, with the authors questioning their relevance to a 21st-century business environment where the needs of the wider business must take precedence over the "me me me" of any specific executive. This is a timely wake-up call for anyone who is responsible for the performance of others - be they coach, business leader, or leadership development expert. An original and thought-provoking message that dares the listener to face the FACTS and accept the coaching challenge.

    Tony, who happened to have come from a humble background, wasn’t aware of past events that affected his future. He did not allow his past to take precedence over his future. He was a courageous, smart, intelligent, and ambitious kid who wanted everything good and learned to use the greatest gift ever given to humanity in getting what he wanted. He understood there is a force called “life” and knew how to stand and fight that force with the gifts given to humanity.The storms of life blew over Tony and threatened to blow him away like ashes before the wind. He faced difficult challenges, but never faltered or lost focus. Some people say life is unfair; they feel that there won’t be a chance for them to partake in the riches and luxuries life has to offer, but that’s not true. Life is fair; we are simply too ignorant to see that and, therefore, fail to understand how things work on Planet Earth. Maybe, we should trace our steps back and see how the world was created. The book of Genesis tells us about everything that took place on the day(s) of creation when God created all things by words except man, whom he made with his hands and breathed on him. Nevertheless, have you paused for a second to ask yourself why man wasn’t created out of mere words? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sierra Anderson.

    The best-selling author of The Limits of Power critically examines the Washington consensus on national security and why it must change. For the last half century, as administrations have come and gone, the fundamental assumptions about America's military policy have remained unchanged: American security requires the United States (and us alone) to maintain a permanent armed presence around the globe, to prepare our forces for military operations in far-flung regions, and to be ready to intervene anywhere at any time. In the Obama era, just as in the Bush years, these beliefs remain unquestioned gospel. In a vivid, incisive analysis, Andrew J. Bacevich succinctly presents the origins of this consensus, forged at a moment when American power was at its height. He exposes the preconceptions, biases, and habits that underlie our pervasive faith in military might, especially the notion that overwhelming superiority will oblige others to accommodate America's needs and desires—whether for cheap oil, cheap credit, or cheap consumer goods. And he challenges the usefulness of our militarism as it has become both unaffordable and increasingly dangerous. Though our politicians deny it, American global might is faltering. This is the moment, Bacevich argues, to reconsider the principles which shape American policy in the world—to acknowledge that fixing Afghanistan should not take precedence over fixing Detroit. Replacing this Washington consensus is crucial to America's future, and may yet offer the key to the country's salvation. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Runnette.
