Jim Miller is famous for giving not just good service but legendary service. This is one of the reasons his company's sales have gone from $50,000 to $150,000,000 in twenty-five years. As founder and CEO of Miller Business Systems, he has built a reputation for being willing and able to do anything for his customers. But he is not just customer-oriented: He knows how to motivate his employees, and his upbeat, deeply personal approach to business is detailed in The Corporate Coach. Developed over twenty-five years of experience, Miller likens managing a company to coaching a team by joining customers and employees in a common cause. He believes in empowering people at every level of a company, in giving opportunities to develop, improve, and be creative, rather than languishing on the bench. Filled with anecdotes, specific "do this/don't do that" advice, and, above all, an attitude that is refreshing and inspiring, The Corporate Coach is essential reading for anyone who serves or manages people.

In December of 1981 the Presbytery of Mackinac adopted an Overture to the 194th General Assembly of the PCUSA calling upon it "to initiate a study of the role of cosmology in the Bible and in the traditional doctrinal formulations of the church, the changes in cosmology as the result of the rise of science, and the theological significance of contemporary cosmological positions for traditional doctrinal affirmations."

History

Carnegie Mellon Univ Pr

They had been driven from their homes by Indians and their Tory allies after a cruel battle. Braving sixty miles of wilderness, the survivors struggled to safety, many of them perishing in the unforgiving wilderness. Barely a month later they brave the wilderness and their fierce foes again to reclaim their land-and therefore their lives. Not only do they return, but they strike at the heart of their stunned foes through three hundred miles of untamed wildreness. Read of their struggle against the greatest empire in the world, the British Empire, and the greatest Indian confederacy in North America, the Iroquois Confederacy. What is more fascinating is that it is all based on fact, taken from letters and histories left by them for their posterity. Hear their whispers across the ages, for we were very much on their minds. Should not they be on ours?

This is a true and gripping account of one of the most bloodiest battles in the Amercian Revolution. Settlers from Connecticut brave the wilderness to etch a haven out of the endless forest some sixty miles beyond any other settlements. Here they fight Indians, British, and Pennamites for the right to exist, much as the new nation to which they pledge their undying allegience, and participate in its fight to be born. Its citizen soldiers fight in many a conflict of that war, and finally fight on their own doorsteps when the forces of that conflict finally descend upon them in their haven in the forest. Here, at Wyoming, they make a desperate stand but in the end are decimated by superior forces. Their stubborn stand in one of the bloodiest battles of the American Revolution and is a testament of their resolve. A resolve which in the end helps form the new American nation.Their story is a great one which defines the American spirit at its birth. In that they should never be forgotten, never.

Americas

A young boy finds himself sitting in a huddled fort some eighty miles from the nearest friendly settlement after a horrible battle has wiped out almost every able-bodied man defending their settlement along the Susquehanna River. Nearly four hundred brave souls marched out the fort to meet the invading hordes of British and Indians striking them from the north, but barely thirty return,most of them wounded and terrified. Many mothers immediately mourn for all they have lost in one fleeting half-hour of battle. Many stumble along trance-like in the crowded fort, praying and wringing their hands, crying, oh, my dear husband has fallen, what is to be become of us now!?! But the carnage after the battle has just begun. All through the night the huddled settlers listen to the cries of their poor wounded being tortured by by the conquering hordes. All listen, watching shadows dancing around the great fires speckling the fields to the north. Many cries echo through the fort, and through the huddled settler's souls. After a restless night, they look to the rising sun with mixed feelings, fearing it to be their turn, for the garrison of old men, young boys, and wounded soldiers,will be no match for the victors, now gathering outside the gates of the fort. Many years after the battle a young boy now sits safe and sound by his warm hearth, fearing the great advances and changes may cloud people's vision to the past, and is intent on doing something about it. Thus, he takes pen in hand to scratch out his memories of days past, and hopes to capture the spirit of the days, praying it not be lost in the growing hubbub of modern life. Once more this narrative is based on fact, for the young boy is Moses Brown, and anscestor of the author himself. Carefully researched and based on fact,all people portrayed in the pages actually lived and the places and events are real, it provides a look into the past through the eyes of one whom lived through it.
