Challenge of Change
Are You Ready to Embrace the Challenge of Change? In his seventy-five business-years, author Oz Mutz has seen a lot of change. From the development of atomic energy to the moon landing to a lifetime of enriching family events. Each has brought with it the challenge of change and left the world a different place. Oz documents what can happen when a person embraces the challenges that change brings and uses them to positively influence the generation that follows. As "the wizdom of Oz" says, the future belongs to the next generation, not the current one, and our responsibility is to help them make decisions that are "informed, intentional, and purposeful." If you desire to leave an influential inheritance for the upcoming generation, Challenge of Change will help show you how to work with dauntless energy to achieve that goal.
Undefeated
This epic story recounts the exceptional valor and endurance of American troops that battled Japanese forces in the Philippines during World War II. Bill Sloan, “a master of the combat narrative” (Dallas Morning News), tells the story of the outnumbered American soldiers and airmen who stood against invading Japanese forces in the Philippines at the beginning of World War II, and continued to resist through three harrowing years as POWs. For four months they fought toe to toe against overwhelming enemy numbers—and forced the Japanese to pay a heavy cost in blood. After the surrender came the infamous Bataan Death March, where up to eighteen thousand American and Filipino prisoners died as they marched sixty-five miles under the most hellish conditions imaginable. Interwoven throughout this gripping narrative are the harrowing personal experiences of dozens of American soldiers, airmen, and Marines, based on exclusive interviews with more than thirty survivors. Undefeated chronicles one of the great sagas of World War II—and celebrates a resounding triumph of the human spirit.

December 8, 1941
Ten hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor, “another Pearl Harbor” of even more devastating consequence for American arms occurred in the Philippines, 4,500 miles to the west. On December 8, 1941, at 12.35 p.m., 196 Japanese Navy bombers and fighters crippled the largest force of B-17 four-engine bombers outside the United States and also decimated their protective P-40 interceptors. The sudden blow allowed the Japanese to rule the skies over the Philippines, removing the only effective barrier that stood between them and their conquest of Southeast Asia. This event has been called “one of the blackest days in American military history.” How could the army commander in the Philippine...
