The Making of A Leader takes you through a first-hand account of Apostle Donald Johnson's “making” as a God-ordained leader on the potter’s wheel, and a testament of Apostle Johnson’s journey, from trials, tribulations, and disappointments; to victories and successes. Every step of the way, Apostle Johnson maintained his love for God, integrity and character and stood firm on the Word of God; even when the odds were against him and his family and no one else believed in his God-given vision. The Making of A Leader will provide you with insight on how to surrender to God’s will and yield to His timing; as well as depend on God as your source. If you’re one of many who don’t know what God has called you to do; or how to submit to the will of God for your life, then this book will definitely set you on the right path. Surrender to God today, and let Him “Make you a Leader”! After reading The Making of a Leader, you will understand the meaning of being anointed and favored by God; recognize when God has a purpose for your life; understand how God molds His leaders on the potter’s wheel; and know that when God is for you, you always win!

History of Seafaring

Nurminen, Juha

Rene-Robert Cavalier, Sieur de la Salle (1643-1687) was the first man to navigate—with extreme difficulty—the Mississippi River from the Great Lakes region to the Gulf of Mexico, thereby establishing France's claim on a swath of the North American continent equal to half the size of Europe, which La Salle named Louisiana. Johnson's new biography of the dauntless explorer provides a detailed panorama of the European nations' efforts to control North America, and the results these endeavors had on the future of the continent. Johnson also makes use of new information regarding La Salle's final expedition, in which he was killed by his own men after a failed attempt to reach the mouth of the Mississippi from the Caribbean. How this veteran explorer ended up hundreds of miles off course, for centuries a mystery among historians, is explained here in convincing detail.

Through Indian Eyes offers students glimpses into Indian culture and history through the eyes of a variety of Indians: students, novelists, poets, political and business leaders and ordinary people. With a focus on the Indian life cycle, the Hindu world view, the struggle for independence and India as an emerging world economic and political power, the book offers cultural and historic themes that draw upon India's long history and its valiant attempts to build a democratic pluralistic nation out of hundreds of cultural groups, more than 20 major linguistic traditions and all the world's major religions. Through Indian Eyes invites students to compare these features with their own society that is facing remarkably similar challenges. The first section deals with the Indian life cycle and focuses on the Hindu world view and social organization. The second section examines highlights from India's almost 5,000-year history and then focuses on Hindu-Muslim relations and the nationalist movement. The last section examines Post-Independent India's paths to economic development, the rise of the new consuming middle class, globalization, and India's increasing international status as Indians strive to integrate historic and cultural values into the emerging global world.
