Book excerpt: A detailed look at the worst M&A deals ever and the lessons learned from them It's common knowledge that about half of all merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions destroy value for the buyer's shareholders, and about three-quarters fall short of the expectations prevailing at the time the deal is announced. In Deals from Hell, Robert Bruner, one of the foremost thinkers and educators in this field, uncovers the real reasons for these mishaps by taking a closer look at twelve specific instances of M&A failure. Through these real-world examples, he shows readers what went wrong and why, and converts these examples into cautionary tales for executives who need to know how they can successfully navigate their own M&A deals. These page-turning business narratives in M&A failure provide much-needed guidance in this area of business. By addressing the key factors to M&A success and failure, this comprehensive guide illustrates the best ways to analyze, design, and implement M&A deals. Filled with in-depth insights, expert advice, and valuable lessons gleaned from other M&A transactions, Deals from Hell helps readers avoid the common pitfalls associated with this field and presents them with a clear framework for thinking about how to make any M&A transaction a success.

Just like a Phoenix (the legendary bird), there are some painful places that may make us feel burned, but God uses those circumstances to regenerate and restore us to our original purpose. This will be parallel to Crystal's life where God took her through her own beautification process which launched her into purpose. During her personal process, Crystal realized that God wants to use our past pain to push us into purpose within the palace, just as God did with Esther. God wants all of His women healed, and whole. He desires us to be in a position where we know our purpose, and we walk in it and complete the mission that He assigned us.

In intimacy with God, we discover who we are, what we are called to be, and understand what makes us fearfully and wonderfully made and prepared for the palace. Sit back and watch how God will unfold your purpose and push you towards life-changing destiny.
