"The sequel to the best-seller Only the Brave."

Tragically, the increasing condition of father-challenged homes has resulted in millions of youth damaged so severely that failure in school, in home relationships, and in careers demands that mentors (parents, teachers, coaches, correctional personnel, pastors, and probation officers) provide the instruction (Laws of Eagles) that youth should receive from their biological fathers. Otherwise, U.S. teenagers likely will not be trained in basic skills needed for successful employment and marriage.

Lois E. Scott has generated and collected pithy one-liners for the past 50 years, gems that her husband Fred refers to as LOISisms. These one-liners can cut through the froth to the heart of a topic with wisdom, common sense, and often humor. They may give comfort to a hurting person, or challenge a teenager as he or she struggles to deal with this world. With these gems, she has guided and instructed three sons and eleven grandchildren and their friends. She is now working on seven great-grandchildren. Friends and family have enjoyed and have been challenged by her kitchen bar stool ministry. Hopefully, these gems will give the reader a laugh or two, or as the Christian comedian Ken Davis would say, “Lighten up and live!” If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, these gems may provide some food for thought as you live your life and raise your children. If you have not yet come to a saving relationship with the living Christ, hopefully some of these gems will challenge you to contemplate your relationship with Him, and hence your future beyond this limited time you have on this earth.

Within these pages, you are invited to catch a higher vision and soar with new understanding as you discover the many times God refers to His followers as mighty eagles. With such a pronouncement straight from heavenly authority, it is no wonder that man should then recognize this regal raptor as the greatest of all the birds that fill our skies today. In SOAR - THE WAY OF THE EAGLES you will read about some of the Lord's greatest Eagle Christians from the pages of Scripture, the annals of world history and through the stories of amazing Eagle Christians I know personally, having served in 48 different nations during my ministry. With each chapter paralleling the actual life stages of an eagle and the growth cycle of a Christian, you will learn how to fly in the company of God's faithful. This book was designed for use in personal inspiration and devotion as well as small group studies. I pray you will have as much joy reading about these "Majesties in Motion" as I have had in preaching a hundred sermons about them. Look up, spread your God-given wings, take to the skies and become the Eagle Christian God designed you to be!

This inspiring book takes an innovative look at the eagle and draws many thought-provoking analogies that graphically illustrate practical lessons believers can learn from this majestic bird.

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.
