Book excerpt: These memories and deeds document what ordinary American citizens went through to prepare for a not-so-ordinary challenge--saving the world from conquest and catastrophe. This is a book about war. There is little on these pages about heartwarming events, human interest, or the warm fuzzy problems of interpersonal relationships. Although, there is a love story buried in these pages that you will certainly recognize. This book is more about the gore and destruction that follows in the wake of conquering armies. There is nothing here about the moral lessons learned from winning or losing battles in a world war, nor about the preservation, revitalization, and reaffirmation of human dignity lost in a war but regained after hostilities are over. Instead, this story traces memories, events, and military units of the Third United States Army that defeated the Nazi forces of Adolph Hitler from D-Day in 1944 through the end of the Battle of the Bulge in 1945. This is a story about fine American leaders and war heroes who rose to the challenge of the times. A few of them, such as General George S. Patton Jr. were military visionaries. This is about those of us who served under General George S. Patton Jr. Please read these words and don't ever let this happen again.

Book excerpt: Put on the Armor of God in Your Daily Battle Against Sin "True Christianity is a fight," wrote J. C. Ryle in 1877. He argued that from the day of their conversion until the day they die, Christians are called to be soldiers for Christ in a war for their holiness. This inspiring call to action written more than 100 years ago continues to be a source of great encouragement and inspiration for believers today. In this addition to the Crossway Short Classics series, Ryle explains why the fight for holiness is one of absolute necessity for Christians. Identifying the three main enemies of every believer—the world, the flesh, and the devil—he emboldens them to "either fight or be lost" in their daily battle and offers biblical and historical examples of notable Christian "soldiers." Fighting for Holiness is a bold reminder for believers to daily put on the whole armor of God and train their eyes on Christ. Spiritually Challenging and Inspiring: Helps believers identify and overcome 3 enemies: the world, the flesh, and the devil A Christian Classic: Content adapted from J. C. Ryle's classic book Holiness Part of the Crossway Short Classics series

Download or read book Worth the Fighting For written by John McCain and published by Random House. This book was released on 2002-09-24 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Senator John McCain tells the story of his great American journey, from the U.S. Navy to his electrifying campaign for the presidency in 2000, interwoven with heartfelt portraits of the mavericks who have inspired him through the years. After five and a half years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, naval aviator John McCain returned home a changed man. Regaining his health and flight-eligibility status, he resumed his military career, commanding carrier pilots and serving as the navy’s liaison to what is sometimes ironically called the world’s most exclusive club, the United States Senate. Accompanying Senators John Tower and Henry “Scoop” Jackson on international trips, McCain began his political education in the company of two masters, leaders whose standards he would strive to maintain upon his election to the U.S. Congress. There, he learned valuable lessons in cooperation from a good-humored congressman from the other party, Morris Udall. In 1986, McCain was elected to the U.S. Senate, inheriting the seat of another role model, Barry Goldwater. During his time in public office, McCain has seen acts of principle and acts of craven self-interest. He describes both extremes in these pages, with his characteristic straight talk and humor. He writes honestly of the lowest point in his career, the Keating Five savings and loan debacle, as well as his triumphant moments—his return to Vietnam and his efforts to normalize relations between the U.S. and Vietnamese governments; his fight for campaign finance reform; and his galvanizing bid for the presidency in 2000. Writes McCain: “A rebel without a cause is just a punk. Whatever you’re called—rebel, unorthodox, nonconformist, radical—it’s all self-indulgence without a good cause to give your life meaning.” This is the story of McCain’s causes, the people who made him do it, and the meaning he found. Worth the Fighting For reminds us of what’s best in America, and in ourselves. Praise for Worth the Fighting For “When [John] McCain writes of people and patriotism, his pages shine with a devotion, a loving awe, that makes Worth the Fighting For worth the shelling out for. . . . McCain the man remains one of the most inspiring public figures of his generation.”—Jonathan Raunch, The Washington Post “[An] unpredictable, outspoken memoir . . . a testimonial to heroism from someone who has first-hand knowledge of what it takes.”—The New York Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aristocrats and itinerants, unionists and nationalists, Catholics and Protestants – the Great War united thousands of Clare men and women to a cause for which many of them would go out to fight and die.Their motives varied from a sense of duty to 'king and country' to concern about the fate of 'poor Catholic Belgium'; from mercenary motives, fuelled by poverty, to the moral duty to fight for civilization against the 'savage Huns', or, like many young men, to the simple thirst for adventure. This seminal work attempts, for the first time, to understand what really happened in County Clare during the Great War, how its economic and political life was radically transformed during this terrible conflict, and how the contribution of those who gave their lives was largely written out of history.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life as Stanley knew it was ending. He could see the signs. He knew that Stan Moden, his biological father, was forcing Doug's hand toward war. But Stanley's three siblings were still on the wrong side of the conflict, and he ached to rescue them from their plight. Though now in his thirties, the shadows of his brutal childhood still haunted him. Yet his brothers and sister remained trapped in that home so void of compassion, so full of violence and hatred, distrust and lies. Stanley longed to share with them all he'd learned from Chris and Susana, his adoptive parents. He yearned to tell them about the saving power of Joshua's sacrifice, about Doug's love and mercy. Before it was too late, they needed to know that they had a choice—that they too could experience the joy of trusting Doug, the peace of knowing truth, and the security of a loving family. Yet time was so short! Even if he could get a message to them, they still had to make the choice. Would they choose goodness or evil? Love or hatred? Life or death?
