Five Minutes to Impact
"Kansas City Center-Comanche eight-five-four-six-dad-we have an emergency." With these words, David F. Osborne alerted air traffic controllers his plane and passengers were in serious danger. What started as a normal business trip home from North Dakota turned, without warning, from tranquility to turmoil. In the darkness of night, the once-powerful single engine, Piper Comanche 260 airplane began experiencing catastrophic engine failure. Within seconds, the previously well-tuned aircraft was shaking violently putting the plane in a rapid descent while the cockpit was quickly filling with thick smoke. Med en nødsituasjonskrash landing nu nært forestående, den gripping realisering at pilot og hans passagerer stod næsten bestemt død havde blitt undeniable reality. Five Minutes to Impact is a true story of overcoming fear in the face of unexpected crisis, understanding the providence of God in the dealings of man, and renewing our faith in His divine plan for our lives.
Lucky and Lucy
This isn't just another love story. Generically, perhaps; otherwise not. It is indeed a story about falling in love, being in love with all of its manifold, unpredictable aspects and its roller coaster emotions, its exhilarating highs, its heartbreaking lows and its gut-wrenching uncertainties. But the difference and the reason why I believe the reader will kvell over this tale and find it all but un-put-down-able is because this is a story about mature love, venerated love- old love, if you will, to put it plainly...In short, how hope springs eternal, and how we all are as young as we think we are. A heart-rending tale, rife with plot turns and twists that is spiritually elevating.... "This is a great book. For anyone who wants to believe there is still magic in the world and that love can happen at any age, this is a must read." Vikki Walker, USA, July 2016...."I am so impressed with the research you did for all the details in the book...An awesome book! Linda McCrary, USA, August 2016
Regional Advantage
Why is it that business in California's Silicon Valley flourished while along Route 128 in Massachusetts declined in the 90s? The answer, Saxenian suggests, has to do with the fact that despite similar histories and technologies, Silicon Valley developed a decentralized but cooperative industrial system while Route 128 came to be dominated by independent, self-sufficient corporations. The result of more than one hundred interviews, this compelling analysis highlights the importance of local sources of competitive advantage in a volatile world economy.
Keep Watching the Skies!
Bill Warren's Keep Watching the Skies! was originally published in two volumes, in 1982 and 1986. It was then greatly expanded in what we called the 21st Century Edition, with new entries on several films and revisions and expansions of the commentary on every film. In addition to a detailed plot synopsis, full cast and credit listings, and an overview of the critical reception of each film, Warren delivers richly informative assessments of the films and a wealth of insights and anecdotes about their making. The book contains 273 photographs (many rare, 35 in color), has seven useful appendices, and concludes with an enormous index. This book is also available in hardcover format (ISBN 978-0-7864-4230-0).
Twilight Serenade
"Devastated by the death of her father, Tom's wife, Molly, runs away to Colorado, jeopardizing their marriage and leaving him to look after her contentious mother and aunt. What sounds simple in theory-taking care of two older women-turns out to be the test of his lifetime. While Molly is in the Rocky Mountains desperately trying to connect with the spirit of her father, Tom remains in Chicago doing his best to keep the two charming sisters-in-law from strangling each other. As he accompanies them to doctors' offices, drugstores and diners, Tom is transformed, slowly developing patience and a latent nurturing side. Eventually, he takes off to Colorado, hoping to convince Molly to come home. In the end, she returns and confronts her mother for having kept her father on life support beyond its necessary time. Although there is no simple resolution, they find a way to continue as a stronger family with love intact."--Publisher's website.

Designed to encourage readers to spend time reading and meditating on the truth of God's Word, these brief devotions, based solidly in Scripture, are ideal for reading over morning coffee, waiting in the car for children after school, or anytime people “on the go” want to make the most of just a few minutes. These devotions will encourage men and women to meditate on God's Word daily, even in the midst of a busy, active schedule.
Two Different Religions
Religion plays a crucial role in the culture and history of nations. Christianity and Islam command the most followers with two billion and 1.3 billion, respectively. Both started in the Middle East. But each spread through a different path. Some interpret 'jihad' as moral strife against the self while others think of it as an obligation to defend the faith against its enemies. So the question is 'jihad' moral or violent? The book discusses how Islam views Christianity? Did technology alter the way clerics in Muslim-majority countries monopoly teaching the Islamic faith? How did the Internet, satellite television, and smart phones influence social life and extend to the spiritual realm? The second half of the twentieth century had seen some eventful developments in the Middle East. Political changes proved far reaching, sometimes with detrimental outcomes. How did recent events affect Egypt--the most pivotal country in the Arab world? Did fanaticism survive in Egypt?
