Garth Fielding sets out to search for a remote cave high in the mountains where he lives. The dramatic events which follow disturb the tranquillity of his new life and threaten to engulf his family as surely as the mist engulfs the mountains. Jack Munro and his colleague and friend, Alexander Finlay must disentangle fact from coincidence and search for patterns which will eventually lead them to the truth behind the series of dramatic contemporary events and the historical crimes with which they seem to be connected. They must try to explain the strange events that occur around the ferry town of Portskail and the Fielding's house at Aultmore. The Cave is set against the dramatic background of the seas and mountains of the Scottish Highlands.

As Christians, we need to be aware that we are in spiritual warfare every day. This is what Get Right Church is about. The book is written with hopes that the reader can see the many missed opportunities that God places before us daily to be blessing to others and opportunities to witness and attest to His greatness. It also allows the reader to see through the experiences of others what should be our reasonable service. It is our duty to be strong for the weak and share the gospel of Christ correctly. Too often, we as Christians negate the need for true spiritual and religious revivals in our personal lives. Many times the purpose of a revival is not clearly understood by Christians. Revivals are spiritual feastings on God's word. The duty of a Christian is to lead others to Christ through witnessing, not in words only, but through lifestyle. Get Right Church shares the trials, tribulations, and victories of believers as they continue to grow in the true knowledge, understanding, and wisdom of God. This growth is not just for their lives but to share freely while leading others to Christ as ambassadors. Get Right Church is about a lifestyle. Second Timothy 2:15""16 and 3:16""17 gives directions to study and control our speech with confirmation of the author of the Holy Bible and the reason to study. Romans 12:1""2 gives us directions how to live in this world and honor God, which is our reasonable service. These experiences are shared to help others see that we can live a victorious lifestyle in Christ while giving glory and honor to God through our daily lives. Start your personal revival with Christ, and allow others to see him in you, which is your reasonable service to God.

Walt Rakowich brings a real-world perspective to leadership that’s based on experience, not just theory. Walt was CEO of Prologis, the world’s largest owner of industrial warehouses and a critical partner to companies distributing products throughout the global supply chain. The company was near bankruptcy when Walt took over at the height of the Great Recession. While leading Prologis back to prominence, and in the years since, Walt realized leaders today must lean into timeless values and principles, but with a fresh perspective on the new realities of our leadership climates. The modern leadership environment exists at the convergence of three distinct and dynamic climates: the climates of access, diversity, and acceleration. On their own or in the aggregate, these climates produce significant opportunities and tensions that will challenge leaders for generations. With a fundamental understanding of these climates, leaders develop a selfless approach that withstands the toughest storms. Transfluence shows leaders how they can have transformative influence by overcoming their fears and pride, building transparency into their leadership, developing a strong core of authentic values, and passionately pursuing a meaningful purpose. When leaders do this, they seize opportunities, embrace challenges, and make their organizations and communities greater than ever.

After a sell-out first edition, we now have a new fully revised and updated second edition. Includes an all-new comprehensive chapter about the role of the CEO and the role of Directors, The Boss's Boss: Infuriating Directors. Employees who don't understand corporate politics are like defence personnel who don't understand combat. What's more liberating than financial freedom, and more reassuring than job-security? It's called career independence, whereby: what you don't have, you can obtain; what you don't know, you can learn; what you don't own, you can access; and what you don't want, you can discard. If you are an employee, this book will help you to take control of your career so that you can live a zestful and enchanting life. If you are the boss, this book will show you how to turn employees into superstars so that together, you'll know what to do when the rules run out. Jonar Nader says, 'If you choose to be a success, you'll be a success at whatever you choose, so long as you can follow your heart and watch your back.'
