Leadership in today's families, churches, and nation is sacrificed to self-indulgence and the pursuit of prominence, power, popularity, profit, and political correctness. Values such as "In God we trust," "Honor, Courage, Commitment," and "Duty, Honor, Country" don't ring as true or as reverently as they did when first uttered by yesterday's leaders. And yet, the greatest gift that one generation can pass on to the next is the legacy of strong leadership. Leaders like those whom God raised up to lead His people understood this. Join author Ray Fairman as he applies biblical standards of leadership to our modern, everyday life. Through leaders such as Moses, Solomon, King David, Peter, and Joseph the author explores values such as sacrifice, confidence, maturity, integrity, truth, mentoring, momentum, and accountability. By examining each biblical leader's style and approach to the very same moral and ethical battles we face today, Fairman confronts our need for strong leaders to emerge. No matter what your occupation, position, or current assignment, this biblical analysis of leadership skills and principles will help you recognize that your missionary and service opportunities are endless.

Rejected. Banished. Packless. Alone. When the love of my life rejects me, I'm desperate to escape the wilds. Even if it means fleeing to the human cities. Shifters grow up hearing horror stories of how humans treat us as nothing more than easy sport; beasts to taunt and kill. It's a truth passed down through generations, and we're taught to stay away, to keep to our kind. But if being rejected by my mate has taught me anything, it's that people lie, and I need to discover the truth of the world for myself. When I catch the eye of two shifters, I gain a couple of sexy, though unwanted, stalkers. They follow me to the cities where nothing goes as planned, and I end up in a horror story of my own until a stranger comes to my rescue. All of this is more than I bargained for, and three men? Hello, complicated. I may have lost my pack, but maybe I had to be a lone wolf to realize I have the power to build my own.

Man and culture are two interwoven realities. The place of legends in cultural sustainability has remained paramount, as societies are able to fashion out the best forms they could take in the future from the much they have learned. This is the shoe the author of this work entitled Destined to Lead, David E. Abang, has worn for the African nation of Mbube. David has taken a great deal of time and effort to narrate in prose form the beautiful cultural heritage of the people of Mbube from the perspective of festivals that bonded them together, especially during Lijie Wuturo (Festival of the King), which was an opportunity not just to celebrate the people's king in whose life the people's destiny was tied, but also to celebrate people who exuded legendary qualities during wars, in farming, hunting, and the like. We see how Lishani, the son of Ashero, a warrior of Ketuen Kingdom, rose to stardom through the influence of his father. His rising popularity aroused the attention of the dreaded king of Ketuen who became afraid that the prediction of Akello the soothsayer would come to pass. Lishani's affairs with the princess of Ketuen was the last straw that broke the camel's back; Lishani narrowly survived death in the hands of the king's executioners and found himself in a strange place. He met several others who had suffered injustice in the hands of the tyrannical king. He raised men of war and staged revenge against the king of Ketuen, which led to his overthrow. David made his points very clear in simple grammatical constructions that woo the reader to follow the message step by step to the end. He has done this in the most didactic manner, employing a method that is captivating to people of all class. This is a beautiful, insightful, creative, and highly scholarly masterpiece to all those who thirst for the revival of traditional cultural values and mutual coexistence (Rev. Fr. Prof. Jake Omang Otonko).
