The power to create is imbedded in all of us. But, it requires a paradigm shift in order to activate it; a belief in a God who transforms, a dogged determination to succeed, a passion that comes from the gut and not from the head, a clear strategy to see what others don't see, and to hope where there is no hope.. This book presents a different approach to dealing with challenges. Jesus is our model. You have the potential. You are unique. You can turn crises into opportunities. Jesus did, so you can too. The heroes of the faith did, and you can. You can make possible what seems impossible. And your life will never be the same again. Your challenges will not go away but you will learn to deal with them. You will learn how to manage crises as well as the joy of overcoming all odds; how to stay peaceful when all else around you is disintegrating; how to keep the faith at the edge of chaos, in season and out of season.

The penultimate bloody and thrilling instalment in MJ Porter's The Brunanburh Series. Can the Norse and the Scots exact their revenge over the mighty King Athelstan of the English? AD937 After the slaughter field of Brunanburh, a defeated Olaf Gothfrithson of the Dublin Norse and Constantin of the Scots narrowly escaped with their lives. In their kingdoms, failure has left them demoralised and weak. Olaf licks his wounds in Dublin, whilst Constantin and the Welsh kingdoms who defied King Athelstan, are once more forced to bend the knee. As Athelstan’s reputation grows stronger day by day, their need to exact revenge on the overmighty and triumphant Athelstan has never been greater. Olaf sets his sights on reclaiming the lost kingdom of Jorvik only for tragedy to strike at the heart of England and a reluctant new King, Edmund steps in the fray. While England mourns the death of their warrior King, her enemies gather on her borders and England stands alone against the might of the Norse, Welsh and Scots. Can the new King be victorious and banish her enemies once and for all or will England, and its king lose all that’s been gained and succumb to a new pretender? ** An epic tale of kinsmanship, greed and power, perfect for the fans of Bernard Cornwell's The Last Kingdom series.** Praise for The Brunanburh Series.
