Killer Caldwell: Australia's Greatest Figher Pilot
By Jeffrey Watson. 2005
Clive 'Killer' Caldwell was a natural and brilliant pilot, a superb shot, and a born leader. He saw action against…
the Germans, Italians and Japanese, and remains Australia's greatest ever fighter pilot.Born and brought up in Sydney, it was obvious from an early age that nothing would stand in Caldwell's way. He bluffed his way into the RAAF, then made sure that he was posted to exactly where he thought he should be.His ability was unquestioned by all those around him, and he devised the vital 'shadow shooting' technique which contributed so much to Allied success in the air in the north African campaign, and in northern Australia. But he was never afraid of voicing his opinions to all those above and below him, be it about the training of pilots, or the equipping of Spitfires for use against the Japanese - and for trying to run the show his way...Caldwell ended his military career in the Morotai Mutiny in 1945, where he and a number of other Australian pilots tried to resign their commisions in protest at not being allowed by General MacArthur - and the RAAF - to take part in the main action. And then he was embroiled in the Barry inquiry into booze smuggling by him and other pilots...Killer Caldwell is a colourful portrait of a colourful Australian.Hot Buttons Internet Edition

Imperious, headstrong, and vain, MacArthur…
matched an undeniable military genius with a massive ego and a rebellious streak that often seemed to destine him for the dustbin of history. Yet despite his flaws, MacArthur is remembered as a brilliant commander whose combined-arms operation in the Pacific--the first in the history of warfare--secured America’s triumph in World War II and changed the course of history. In The Most Dangerous Man in America, celebrated historian Mark Perry examines how this paradox of a man overcame personal and professional challenges to lead his countrymen in their darkest hour. As Perry shows, Franklin Roosevelt and a handful of MacArthur’s subordinates made this feat possible, taming MacArthur, making him useful, and finally making him victorious. A gripping, authoritative biography of the Pacific Theater’s most celebrated and misunderstood commander, The Most Dangerous Man in America reveals the secrets of Douglas MacArthur’s success--and the incredible efforts of the men who made it possible.Infinite Playlists: How to Have Conversations (Not Conflict) with Your Kids About Music

Essex during the War of 1812
By George C. Daughan. 2013
Shortly after the outbreak of the War of 1812, Captain David Porter set out at the helm of the USS…
Essex, intent on rounding Cape Horn and hunting British whaling and merchant ships in the Pacific Ocean. Porter’s odyssey took him to exotic isles and brought glory to the fledgling American navy, and in The Shining Sea, celebrated historian George C. Daughan tells the full story of this historic voyage for the first time. Porter’s cruise is now regarded as the greatest maritime adventure of the period, but his monomaniacal quest to capture a British man-of-war ultimately cost him his ship and the lives of over two-thirds of his crew--a disgraceful end to a daring journey. A thrilling narrative of risk and ruin on the high seas, The Shining Sea brings to life one of the war’s greatest tragedies, capturing Porter’s immense hubris and his cataclysmic failure.Cómo criar a una hija conforme al corazón de Dios

By Gabriel Agbo, Martha Mauri. 2017
Los sacrificios son poderosos, ¡muy poderosos! El hombre más rico, el más fuerte, los hombres y mujeres más bendecidos, el…
más sabio, el rey más grande, los profetas más poderosos fueron hombres y mujeres de sacrificio. Lo dieron todo, arriesgaron todo por su gente, por la humanidad y por Dios para lograr sus metas y proezas de las que incluso se enorgullece la eternidad. ¿Quiere conocer sus secretos? Pues bien, si quiere ser grande, primero debe convertirse en un hombre o una mujer de sacrificio. Para aquellos que pueden pagar el precio, todo es posible. Los capítulos El poder del sacrificio, Sólo sacrifica lo tuyo, Mi paso por Egipto, Pago el precio, ¡Síganme!, Venimos por ustedes, Te protejo, Prepara la última cena, El poder de salvar, La alabanza, La oración y El ayuno, serán sumamente reveladores. En la Biblia no sólo se habla de los grandes sacrificios de extraordinarios hombres y mujeres y cómo sus acciones los hicieron grandes, sino también de personas como Yonatan 'Yoni' Netanyahu, el joven israelí que dirigió la unidad de comando para rescatar a los rehenes judíos que se encontraban en el avión que fuera secuestrado y desviado al aeropuerto de Entebbe, Uganda en 1976. También vimos a algunos héroes militares, especialmente los de Operaciones Especiales, como los SEAL y la Fuerza Delta. Estos hombres dan lo mejor de sí; constantemente arriesgan todo, incluso su vida, para defender a su gente y a la humanidad. Sacrifican su vida para proteger a otros. Jesús dijo que el sacrificio más grande es que un hombre dé su vida por los demás. ¡Nuestros respetos! Ellos nos enseñan lo que debe ser el sacrificio. Jesús dijo ¿qué sacrificio puede ser mayor que el de un hombre que da su vida por sus amigos? Alabamos su coraje y patriotismo extremo. Aquí aprenderemos sobre los sacrificios de fe, amabilidad, patriotismo, oración, ayuno y alabanza.

Uncovered: The Truth about Honesty and Community
By Rod Tucker. 2014
Greg was homeless. As he walked through the park one day, he was surrounded by people. Good people. Caring people.…
Christian people. People doing ministry. But people totally oblivious to Greg. No one saw him, talked to him, noticed him, or tried to minister to him. The Christians were preoccupied--working hard on the ministry they were putting together--a ministry intended to provide help and healing to the most vulnerable in their city, a ministry designed to reach . . . the homeless! How do Christians, benefactors of the overwhelming grace of an immeasurably generous God, fail so miserably at showing and distributing--of all things--grace? In voice and style evocative of Donald Miller and Scot McKnight, yet with a message all his own, Rod Tucker explores how we Christians have become masters of self-deceptive and fake moral living. Just like Adam and Eve, we don't want anyone to know we are spiritually naked. But covering up around God denies us the freedom of his grace. Until we can be honest with ourselves, honest with God, and honest with others, daily grace will continue to elude us, either as gift received or as gift given. We remain trapped in our Botox spirituality until we come to grips with exactly who we are.
