#1 bestselling author Ken Follett tells the inspiring true story of the Middle East hostage crisis that began in 1978, and of the unconventional means one American used to save his countrymen. . . . When two of his employees were held hostage in a heavily guarded prison fortress in Iran, one man took matters into his own hands: businessman H. Ross Perot. His team consisted of a group of volunteers from the executive ranks of his corporation, handpicked and trained by a retired Green Beret officer. To free the imprisoned Americans, they would face incalculable odds on a mission that only true heroes would have dared. . . .

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not be weary, they will walk and not be faint.(Isaiah 40:31 KJV)The eagle is a majestic bird that represents inspiration and courage. According to my research, it is the only bird that will not try to avoid a storm. Though eagles don't seek out a storm, when one occurs, they hang on until they can soar above it.It occurs to me that some people are like eagles. It isn't that they have no storms or difficulties in their lives; all of us do. What makes them “eagle people” is their tenacious hold on hope. When a storm comes, instead of worrying, they draw upon the inner resources that come from faith to rise above the storm and soar.In this book, we will explore the resources available to us as Christians when storms suddenly appear upon our horizons. Among these resources are the Bible, the revealed Word of God; prayer; worship; and the example and encouragement of Christian friends, family members, co-workers, and neighbors. When we use these God-given resources, we too can “soar like an eagle”!—adapted from the introductionEach chapter includes a key Scripture verse, personal stories and anecdotes, practical and spiritual insights for inspiration and encouragement in weathering the storms of life, and questions for reflection or discussion. Some chapters also include “An Eagle Challenge”—a specific suggestion for implementing a particular principle in your life.
At a time of great importance in the history of life on the planet, human beings find themselves with enormous economic and technological power, but also with a terrible inner weakness. This book takes a careful look at our vulnerability and proposes some radical new pathways towards a life more in harmony with the natural world.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Battle of Britain, which was the British attempt to stop Hitler from taking over Europe, has become a symbol of courage and defiance against a more powerful and warlike enemy. But today, it has lost none of its luster. #2 The Battle of Britain has come in for its share of revisionary history and debunking, though it has not been the subject of the same harsh criticism directed towards British motives and generalship in the American Revolutionary War, the Crimean War, or World War I. #3 The what ifs of history are always difficult to answer, and they usually involve supposing an alternative outcome to a historical event. The speculation about the Battle of Britain is of a different kind. Nobody denies that we won it, but we simply do not know how serious Hitler was about invading Britain. #4 The invasion was a sham, according to many people, including Derek Robinson, the author of Piece of Cake, a BBC series about a fictional fighter squadron in the Battle of Britain. The British were prepared and armed by midsummer to defeat the Germans on the ground.
