End of the Spear by Steve Saint Pdf

2005 ECPA Retailer's Choice Award winner for best biography/autobiography! Steve Saint was five years old when his father, missionary pilot Nate Saint, was speared to death by a primitive Ecuadorian tribe. In adulthood, Steve, having left Ecuador for a successful business career in the United States, never imagined making the jungle his home again. But when that same tribe asks him to help them, Steve, his wife, and their teenage children move back to the jungle. There, Steve learns long-buried secrets about his father's murder, confronts difficult choices, and finds himself caught between two worlds. Soon to be a major motion picture (January 2006), End of the Spear brilliantly chronicles the continuing story that first captured the world's attention in the bestselling book, Through Gates of Splendor.

Spear by Nicola Griffith Pdf

“Spectacular—I've been waiting years for this book to exist.” —Maria Dahvana Headley, author of Beowulf: A New Translation "If Le Guin wrote a Camelot story, I imagine it would feel like Spear: humane, intelligent, and deeply beautiful. It's a new story with very old bones, a strange place that feels like home." —Alix E. Harrow, author of A Spindle Splintered She left all she knew to find who she could be . . . She grows up in the wild wood, in a cave with her mother, but visions of a faraway lake drift to her on the spring breeze, scented with promise. And when she hears a traveler speak of Artos, king of Caer Leon, she decides her future lies at his court. So, brimming with magic and eager to test her strength, she breaks her covenant with her mother and sets out on her bony gelding for Caer Leon. With her stolen hunting spear and mended armour, she is an unlikely hero, not a chosen one, but one who forges her own bright path. Aflame with determination, she begins a journey of magic and mystery, love, lust and fights to death. On her adventures, she will steal the hearts of beautiful women, fight warriors and sorcerers, and make a place to call home. The legendary author of Hild returns with an unforgettable hero and a queer Arthurian masterpiece for the modern era. Nicola Griffith’s Spear is a spellbinding vision of the Camelot we've longed for, a Camelot that belongs to us all.

Tip of the Spear by Ryan Hendrickson Pdf

The inspiring true story of a US Special Forces soldier who was medically retired after stepping on an IED, and his incredible return to active duty. Sergeant First Class (SFC) Ryan Hendrickson is a brave, determined, and courageous soldier -- a Green Beret clearing the way for his twelve-man team while conducting combat operations against the Taliban. As the "tip of the spear," his role is to ensure the route taken by U.S. and Afghan troops are free of IEDs -- improvised explosive devices. Many soldiers do not survive their last step; those who do often lose at least one limb. While rescuing an Afghan soldier outside a mud-hut compound in 2010 -- knowing that he was in "uncleared" territory -- Ryan stepped on an IED with his right foot. The device exploded, leaving his foot dangling at the end of his leg. American soldiers losing a limb is an all-too-common occurrence. But what makes Ryan's story different is that after undergoing two dozen surgeries and a tortuous rehabilitation, he was medically retired but fought to return to active duty. Multiple skin grafts to his leg and right foot successfully reattached his lower leg, and he was aided in his recovery by wearing a new prosthetic device known as an IDEO (Intrepid Dynamic Exoskeletal Orthosis). Once he passed a series of crucial physical tests, Ryan was able to rejoin the Green Berets within a year and physically perform his duties, redeploying to Afghanistan in March 2012. In 2016, he volunteered to return to Afghanistan with Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 7th Special Forces Group. During a firefight with the Taliban, he risked his life under heavy enemy fire to rescue three Afghan soldiers cut off from friendly forces and return the bodies of two dead Afghan soldiers under the ethos that "no one gets left behind." For his heroic efforts on the battlefield, SFC Ryan Hendrickson was awarded a Silver Star, the nation's third-highest award for valor. An engaging and harrowing account, Tip of the Spear tells the amazing story of one Green Beret's indomitable spirit.

Tip of the Spear by Mr Jim a Gibson Pdf

Tip of the Spear: Our Species and Technology at a Crossroads is an examination of the state of technology and its disruptive influence on the fate of humanity. The book argues that the changes before us are existential and that we need to have a new conversation to be sure we are prepared. We have for the first time in our species existence, Jim suggests, all of the tools to solve all of the problems facing the world in the next 10 to 15 years; or those same tools will end life as we know it. It is both a cautionary tale about the inadequacy of our linear systems of organization in the face of exponential technological change as well as a hopeful treatise on how by creating a new definition of innovation based on a new Social Contract that with - as a species - we can meet the challenges head on. The book is suitable for a broad audience - anyone trying to reconcile the complex pressure of the present with the demands of the future: the academic leader attempting to bring her students into a new understanding of the world of rapidly changing technology; parents trying to help plot a course through the minefield of an always-on digital frontier for their teenage kids; and, the business leader trying to build a new organization infused with purpose and a global narrative. At the beginning of the book, Gibson's Three Laws of Disruption paints a compelling picture of the state of the world in 2018. The slope of the technology change curve is growing steeper; the genies of technology invention never go back in the bottle; and, our systems of organization - education, democracy, capitalism - are ill-prepared to cope. Layered on this reality are the hard truths of the fall of human discourse, the rise of Fake News, the weaponization of Social media and the remerging spectre of nationalism. The second third of the book walks the reader into the next decade or so through the eyes of two very different young girls: Olivia is a typical 13-year-old from Canada; Mervis is from the developing nation of Malawi. Their stories provide possible scenarios for all of us to contemplate if we don't deal with the challenges of today. By changing the narrative into a set of personal stories, Tip of the Spear brings the reader into worlds we can understand and conversations that we have all had. It also introduces us to the developing world narrative. Mervis' story provides hints into magnificent possibilities for the developing world; one that - with the right investments - could see our emerging economies by-pass the challenges of the past with the promise of future technologies of transportation, energy and collaboration. The final third delivers a new vocabulary of innovation and change. It begins with a new definition of innovation, called "The Innovation of Ways" contrasted with the traditional "Innovation of Things." This new "way" imagines a new social contract for all of the roles we play in our lives: As a parent, voter, professional, leader and teacher. In the cautionary and optimistic conclusion, Jim challenges us to think and act exponentially by creating a new culture of trust and suggest that meeting the Tip of the Spear head on is possible AND urgent.

The Spear: A Novel by Louis de Wohl Pdf

This panoramic novel of the last days of Christ ranges from the palaces of imperial Rome to the strife-torn hills of Judea—where the conflict of love and betrayal, revenge and redemption, reaches a mighty climax in the drama of the Crucifixion. For this is the full story of the world’s most dramatic execution, as it affected one of its least-known participants—the man who hurled his spear into Christ on the Cross. Among his many successful historical novels, Louis de Wohl considered The Spear the magnum opus of his literary career. “Exceptionally powerful...an excellent piece of work!”—Chicago Sun-Times “A brilliant and panoramic picture of the events and personalities surrounding the Crucifixion.”—Catholic Messenger “This novel tells from a new and fascinating angle the age-old story of the men and women who were sublimely affected by knowing the Messiah, Jesus Christ...It is a magnificent novel.”—Boston Herald “Told with the clarity and vitality one has come to expect from Louis de Wohl, and holds the reader’s interest all the way through...Richly drawn, against a background of mighty drama.”—Cincinnati Enquirer
