A trip to paradise gone awry. The cartel took his son, but contending with a former Soviet special forces officer could be more than they bargained for.
' Drug cartels and hostage-taking are among the provocative plot elements in a tumultuous odyssey that takes you from snowy Russia to the highland jungle of old Mexico and finally to Jamaica's beautiful but troubled shores.
Rodney Powell brings authority and vivid authenticity on par with the best of classic Tom Clancy thrillers !'
Cal THOMAS ─ Syndicated Columnist
THE RANSOM is a continuation of THE PARDON, the breakout debut novel by Rodney Powell. Follow the stories of Vladi Gavrilov and Marco Rivera, moving from the Cold War era to the blood-soaked cartel wars of Latin America.
Most of the time, we can see good and evil for what they are. But life’s journey sometimes takes us through gray areas where our options aren’t so clearly defined. How do you choose when the border between right and wrong is blurred and time is running out? Find out in THE RANSOM ….
'Faith, emotion, anxiety, thrill, and a double dose of adventure ... THE RANSOM brings it all. Powell painted such a vivid picture that I could feel, smell, see, hear, and even taste the situations and settings'
Col Clinton “Sandy” McNABB ─ USAF, Ret
A Soviet officer in Cuba during the Cold War. A crash strands him in America. A former ally turns his worst enemy. Can he survive and find a way home?
'Sometimes a book will haunt you after reading it. THE PARDON is that kind of book.'

SUSPENSEFUL — THOUGHT-PROVOKING — CONSEQUENTIAL ... At the height of the Cold War, a plane crash strands a Soviet officer stationed in America. Living among those he once thought to be the enemy, he transforms into the capitalist he once fought against. His life is entangled with a merciless Cuban prosecutor out for revenge. Both men are torn between ideologies, save for one: their ever-hardening rejection of God.
THE PARDON is filled with action and uncompromised Christian truth ─ the story contrasts freedom and capitalism with the devastating realities of communism. The plot explores the consequences of human choices, spinning an intricate web of envy, treachery, life and death, and how God's search for man transcends all political and geographic boundaries.
'A masterful blend of fact, fiction, and faith — of history and a lesson for younger people of what Cuba’s 'paradise' and the true nature of Communism looks like.'

'THE PARDON is a real 'page-turner,' complete with twists and turns in the plot that makes it a rollicking good read!'

Part of the classic Secret series devotionals, The Secret of United Prayer contains one month of daily selections on the power of united prayer. Murray expresses his desire that many would join the ranks of intercessors-those who pray continually, in unison, for the church of Christ and His kingdom on earth. He studies the 'lost' secret of Pentecost: the sure promise that the power of the Holy Spirit will be given in answer to fervent prayer.
It takes time to know God, become conscious of His presence, and live in His power. Unfortunately, the busyness of life often keeps us from that. Written over a period of five years, the Secret series books contain a wealth of teaching that is based on Andrew Murray's mature and full experience in Christ. The Secret of the Abiding Presence contains one month of daily selections that focus on the need for quiet, uninterrupted communion with Him.
This book offers updated explanations of the sins of interpretation to teach sound grammatical, lexical, cultural, theological, and historical Bible study practices.
In this concise volume, Brent Strawn addresses ten common 'lies' or mistruths about the Old Testament, from perceptions of God's personality (the 'angry Old Testament God') to the relevance of the Old Testament for Christians. Discover why stories and laws written thousands of years ago, centuries before Christ, are enriching and indispensable for modern Christians. Written by a leading scholar in Old Testament and designed for easy listening and group discussion, this book will expand your thinking about the Bible's First (and largest) Testament.
For years, Douglas Stuart's Old Testament Exegesis has been one of the most popular ways to learn how to perform exegesis-the science and art of interpreting biblical texts properly for understanding as well as proclamation. This new edition includes a major revision and updates past editions by including a helpful configuration of the format for the exegesis process. Stuart provides guidance for full exegesis as well as for a quicker approach specifically tailored to the task of preaching. A glossary of terms explains the sometimes-bewildering language of biblical scholarship, and a list of frequent errors guides the student in avoiding common mistakes. No exegetical guide for the Old Testament has been more widely used in training ministers and students to be faithful, careful interpreters of Scripture.
The workplace, the home and any relationship requires a level of connectivity. This connection is made at the point of common interests or purpose. The sealant to influential connectivity, in the space we call leadership, is likability. Likable people have influence. While the workforce is trying to find ways to influence others - to sell products, philosophies or services, likability becomes that “secret sauce” for influence. Influence brings the sale to a positive conclusion.
Rick’s book, “Likability: The Secret Sauce to Leadership Influence,” approaches the topic by introducing the idea that each of us can “be” something to others for influence. For instance, he says that “Likable leaders are motivational. You may be that informal motivator for them just simply by asking them what motivates them.” He frames the chapters around powerful ideas that implore you to be: a motivator, inspirational, an encourager, authentic, fair, an aligner, a great communicator, a team builder, fun, a power releaser and a coach.
Have you wondered how to gain more leadership or management influence? How can you improve your success in connecting with people? Do you struggle at times with your likability? This book and Companion Workbook is a wonderful and effective resource in professional and personal improvement.
Be likable!
Operation Tidal Wave tells the story of the bloodiest air battle in the history of war. It is about 1700 airmen who set out to bomb the oil refineries surrounding the city of Ploesti, Romania, on August 1, 1943. Success, they thought, would be a force in ending the war. Success instead was extremely limited and 500 airmen were killed, wounded, captured, or interned. Negligible damage resulted at the Ploesti refineries, and a few months later they were operating at one-hundred percent capacity. To show the asperity of the raid, five Congressional Medals of Honor were awarded, two posthumously.
Everyone experiences changes in mood over the course of any given day, week, month and year. But “mood changes” is a broad term that can mean different things to different people. This guide explains what mood changes can happen in Parkinson’s disease (PD), why people with Parkinson’s might experience these changes and how to treat and cope with them.
Not everyone develops every symptom of Parkinson’s disease, but if you’re affected, non-motor symptoms including depression, anxiety, anger and irritability can have a huge impact on your quality of life and those around you. The information, tips and stories included here will provide answers, help you organize thoughts and questions for your medical team and remind you that you are not alone on this Parkinson’s journey
As part of the Parkinson’s Foundation's Educational Book Series, Psychosis discusses just that: the causes, symptoms and treatments for hallucinations and delusions, as well as tips for caregivers of someone experiencing psychosis.
About 75 percent of people with PD experience changes in speech and voice at some time during the course of the disease. These changes usually come on gradually and can vary from mild to severe.
Communication is a vital part of daily life and extends beyond speech and voice abilities. It also includes the ability to formulate your ideas into a message; understand messages and words conveyed by others; and the ability to put your ideas into words. Communication also includes the ability to use body language, gestures and voice pitch/loudness changes to emphasize ideas, add humor and convey emotions. Problems communicating can lead to feelings of frustration, depression and withdrawal. Learning how PD affects communication and what you can do about it can help you better cope with problems that you might experience.
Many of these problem areas can be improved with PD-specific exercise programs, devices that help communication and strategies/techniques that can help you and your conversation partners to communicate more effectively and efficiently.
