Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In every area of society, some women stand out from the crowd. Wellington Boone calls them Kingmakers. They're the women that people remember. They're the women that people should listen to. They're the wives, mothers, teachers, and managers who helped others become what they are today. You don't see the mom behind a person who becomes great, but she's a Kingmaker, whether you see her or not. She's under-acknowledged and under-appreciated, but she's a Kingmaker just the same. A Kingmaker has the power of influence over another person's life and the ability from God to make that person great.Wellington Boone calls his wife Katheryn the Kingmaker who inspired his book Women Are Kingmakers! They have been married for 45 years. He honors his wife as his Kingmaker, but how does she rate him as a husband?Let's look back to an event in 1996 when Wellington Boone was a leading speaker for the explosive Christian men's organization called Promise Keepers that was filling football stadiums with enthusiastic men and a pastor developing leaders who were men and women of character.At a Promise Keepers event in Chicago that year, his topic was "Going All Out for Your Wife" and he was on a roll. Men cheered as he told them how to become more like Christ to their wives. Then he stopped and called his wife Katheryn to come from backstage. As the Windy City blew everything off his podium, he asked her to tell the men what she had said to him the night before at their hotel. Katheryn Boone had already been his wife for 23 years, so few things he did could surprise her, but this time 80,000 men were watching as she walked across the stage to respond to him. She said. "My husband came back to the hotel last night. I didn't come to the evening meeting so I didn't know anything that was going on and he asked me a question. He said, "Hon, how would you rate me, from one to ten?" He didn't prep me or anything. I really thought about this thing and I didn't answer him right away, I just want you to know, but I told him from one to ten, I rate him an eleven."They still have the same success teaching men and women truths that make marriages last!BISHOP BOONE has been a respected Christian ministry leader and pioneer in reconciliation for more than 45 years. From small churches to stadiums he has equipped men and women to be pastors and leaders through personal transformation by prayer, the Bible, Jesus Christ and His eternal principles, a daily lifestyle of holiness with the power of the Holy Spirit. His teachings are both spiritual and practical with a consciousness of living all of life with eternity in view. He is known for personally developing leaders with enduring Christ-like character. Recently he and his wife Katheryn began a new outreach to Germany, the country where they met in high school many years ago.As a motivational speaker known for biblical substance, he has taught and inspired more than a million people in live audiences. He is the founder of the Fellowship of International Churches and is respected by international Christian denominations and ministries of all kinds, including Promise Keepers, YWAM, MorningStar, and the Salvation Army. He has served on prestigious megachurch and national and international boards, including the Evangelical Council of Financial Accountability (ECFA), Regent University Board of Trustees, and March for Jesus U.S. (chairman of the board).A popular author for Doubleday, Broadman and Holman, and other publishers, his books include Your Wife Is Not Your Momma, A Man's Journey with God, Black Self-Genocide, Dare to Hope, Holy Ghost Is My Friend, Low Road to New Heights, Women Are Kingmakers! and Your Journey with God.

Download or read book The Kingmaker s Sisters written by David Baldwin and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2011-11-30 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warwick the Kingmaker, the Earl of Warwick & Salisbury whose wealth and power was so great that he could effectively decide who would rule England during the Wars of the Roses (1455-1487), had six sisters: Joan, Cecily, Alice, Eleanor, Katherine and Margaret. They all married powerful noblemen who fought on opposing sides during this turbulent period. The Kingmaker's Sisters examines the role that they played in late fifteenth-century England, as wives, mothers and homemakers, but also as deputies for their absent husbands, and how the struggle between the Yorkists and the Lancastrians affected them and their families. Scholarly but accessible, this is the first history of the Wars of the Roses to be written from this perspective, and will appeal to general readers, historians of the period and those with an interest in feminist history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this New York Times bestseller that inspired the critically acclaimed Starz miniseries The White Queen, Philippa Gregory tells the tale of Anne Neville, a beautiful young woman who must navigate the treachery of the English court as her father, known as the Kingmaker, uses her and her sister as pawns in his political game. The Kingmaker’s Daughter—Philippa Gregory’s first sister story since The Other Boleyn Girl—is the gripping tale of the daughters of the man known as the Kingmaker, Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick: the most powerful magnate in fifteenth-century England. Without a son and heir, he uses his daughters, Anne and Isabel, as pawns in his political games, and they grow up to be influential players in their own right. At the court of Edward IV and his beautiful queen, Elizabeth Woodville, Anne grows from a delightful child to become ever more fearful and desperate when her father makes war on his former friends. Married at age fourteen, she is soon left widowed and fatherless, her mother in sanctuary and her sister married to the enemy. Anne manages her own escape by marrying Richard, Duke of Gloucester, but her choice will set her on a collision course with the overwhelming power of the royal family.

This book was released on 2009-10-12 with total page 768 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant narrative history tracing today’s troubles back to the grandiose imperial overreach of Great Britain and the United States. Kingmakers is the gripping story of how the modern Middle East came to be, as told through the lives of the Britons and Americans who shaped it. Some are famous (Lawrence of Arabia and Gertrude Bell); others infamous (Harry St. John Philby, father of Kim); some forgotten (Sir Mark Sykes, Israel’s godfather, and A. T. Wilson, the territorial creator of Iraq). All helped enthrone rulers in a region whose very name is an Anglo-American invention. The aim of this engrossing character-driven narrative is to restore to life the colorful figures who gave us the Middle East in which Americans are enmeshed today.

She's perfectly content living disguised as a soothsayer in a traveling circus, avoiding the destiny the Gods—and her dangerous family—have saddled her with. As far as she's concerned, the magic humming within her blood can live and die with her. She won't be a pawn in anyone's game.

Griffin knows Cat is the Kingmaker—the woman who divines truth through lies—and he wants her to be a powerful weapon for his newly conquered realm. Kidnapping her off the street is simple enough, but keeping her by his side is infuriatingly tough. Cat fights him at every turn, showing a ferocity of spirit that burns hot...and leaves him desperate for more.

At odds with his mogul father, he's determined to build his own empire, even if it means traveling far from home, painted as the black sheep.

At a protest for the oil pipeline that threatens to mar her ancestral land forever, they meet in a flurry of stars and sparks, and that one moment changes everything.

Even though Lennix tries to hate Maxim, too, their hearts are pointed in the same direction. The inexorable pull between them, across miles and years, will not be denied. And neither will Maxim.

Download or read book Women and other Marginalized Section in the Politics of Developing Countries written by Dr. Ram Ayodhya and published by K.K. Publications. This book was released on 2022-01-22 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Third-world women, just as women in industrialized nations, are largely represented in particular occupations. The majority work in agricultural employment or jobs that are unregulated by the state, such as street vendors and small businesses. Similarly, as in industrialized nations, Third World professional women are over-represented in such professions as nursing and teaching. Divisions between women’s and men’s work have obvious economic and political implications. Evidence of gender inequality and exploitation of women exist in most societies, yet some of the worst cases are found in the developing world. The murder of some five thousand women annually in India by dissatisfied husbands; the enslavement of women working in Pakistan’s brick-making industry; wife beatings in Zambia and the Andes; and the sale of child brides are only a few of the many instances of women’s subservient status in many Third World countries. Less dramatic examples of gender inequality include divorce laws that favour husbands; the restricted opportunities for women’s employment in universities, the professions, and higher-paid blue-collar jobs; and the double clay that women must frequently face (coming home from a long day’s work and having to do all the housework and child care). After years of neglect, many international agencies and government planners have begun to recognize women’s special status and needs in development projects. The book brings together information on women’s and weaker sections of education and development, reviews research results for each developing region, identifies gaps in current knowledge, and discusses problems of methodology.

Download or read book Female Monarchs and Merchant Queens in Africa written by Nwando Achebe and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unapologetically African-centered monograph that reveals physical and spiritual forms and systems of female power and leadership in African cultures. Nwando Achebe’s unparalleled study documents elite females, female principles, and female spiritual entities across the African continent, from the ancient past to the present. Achebe breaks from Western perspectives, research methods, and their consequently incomplete, skewed accounts, to demonstrate the critical importance of distinctly African source materials and world views to any comprehensible African history. This means accounting for the two realities of African cosmology: the physical world of humans and the invisible realm of spiritual gods and forces. That interconnected universe allows biological men and women to become female-gendered males and male-gendered females. This phenomenon empowers the existence of particular African beings, such as female husbands, male priestesses, female kings, and female pharaohs. Achebe portrays their combined power, influence, and authority in a sweeping, African-centric narrative that leads to an analogous consideration of contemporary African women as heads of state, government officials, religious leaders, and prominent entrepreneurs.
