Edward Ephraim Cross (1832-1863) accomplished more in his short lifetime years than most men who live to be 100. By the eve of the Civil War, he had traveled from Cincinnati to Arizona working as a political reporter, travel writer, editor, trail hand, silver mine supervisor, and Indian fighter. In the summer of 1861, he became colonel of the Fighting Fifth New Hampshire Volunteers and gained fame as a fearless battlefield commander during action at Fair Oaks, Antietam, Fredricksburg, and Chancellorsville before being mortally wounded at Gettysburg. However, behind this great soldier lay a flawed man, an alcoholic with a short temper who fought a constant battle with words against immigrants, abolitionists, and others with whom he disagreed. This detailed biography presents a full portrait of this controversial and little-known figure, filling a critical gap in the literature of the northern Civil War experience.

From the author of Shields of Strength, “a gift that could radically change every interaction and relationship you have” (Reg Lloyd, Pastor, Praise Church, Beaumont TX). What is the opposite of love? Many would say hate, but studying the Bible reveals that it is actually fear. Fear leads us to make harmful decisions and live unproductive, unhappy, and unfruitful lives. Love is the key to a fruitful life, but love must be more than a feeling. Love must be an action, a choice. Choosing love over fear is the most powerful choice we can make. Kenny Vaughan brings this timeless discussion back to the forefront of our spiritual exploration by teaching us to view life as a fruit-bearing tree. When we feed the roots with love, the tree flourishes, and we enjoy the blessings that grow upon it. If we deprive our roots, however—if we allow fear to cut us off from love—then the whole tree withers and dies. Utilizing both Scripture and anecdotes from modern life, The Right Fight teaches us how to tend our roots, grow our fruit, and, through the grace of God, cast fear out for good. “The Right Fight will hold your attention and challenge your perspective and application of love.”—Reg Lloyd, Pastor, Praise Church, Beaumont TX

This book is the first detailed treatment of the approaches taken to enforce competition laws against cross-border cartels (CBCs) from the perspective of young and small competition authorities (more than 70% of the total number of authorities worldwide). No other legal or inter-disciplinary scholarship exists in the market that deals with the issue of a taxonomy of CBCs combined with young/small competition authorities' problems. The book looks at the extent of the harms caused by CBCs and issues associated with tackling them at a transnational level. It explains why past solutions to problems with cooperation have failed and proposes novel ideas on how to improve cooperation and coordination in certain types of CBC investigations (transnational and regional CBCs). The proposals are based on primary-source information and observations made by the author as part of his work in the UN, and interviews with leading enforcers from young, small, old and large jurisdictions. Young/small competition authorities, competition lawyers and economists, scholars and students within the fields of competition law and international law, and those interested in international cooperation and coordination in the area of cartel enforcement in emerging markets will greatly benefit from this book. It is clearly structured and extensively referenced, providing a valuable guide to the topic.

The battle of the cross is a book that will help you to understand more about our battles in life. There are things that are there to separate us from the love of God, when they happen they make us not to be aware of His love upon our lives. Persecution will come but you as a Child of God must not leave the Lord for you know where He took you from. You need to know that you were transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the light. What are you facing that makes you to forget the love of the living God upon your life? Many Christians think that they do not have demons; we are in a Church whereby people no longer believe in deliverance or in the power of God. Usually we preach the gospel not knowing that it brings power to bless, to deliver and to multiply. Temptation does not come in twos; it is only one temptation that comes in different formulas. You are failing to overcome that temptation because you are not discerning. If you fall because of adultery then know that tomorrow it will be the same cause that will make you to fall again; you just need to know what makes you to fall and see the solution for it. As you discern you will be able to move forward.

The Power of the Cross unpacks what gives the gospel power to transform...There is no transformation of our souls without the application of the cross to our lives. This book will lead you to that power.-Barry Wissler, president, HarvestNET International From the author of Heaven on Earth and The Kingdom at War comes a carefully worded and researched yet easy-to-read exploration of the cross and its global impact on humanity. Simple yet foundational truths buttressed by scripture spill over from every page in a conversation between the reader and author Alan Vincent. The engaging stories make learning about this most important of topics fun for believers of all ages and walks of life. Christ's crucifixion loosed a power more than two thousand years ago that is still working today-if we rise up in faith and believe, turn from sin and condemnation, and live joyously in God's promised freedom and favor. Disease and poverty must bow before the power of the covenant forged in the shed blood of Jesus. Too many churches have abandoned the preaching of the cross. But with Vincent's inspirational look at this earth-changing event, you'll grow in faith and be forever changed!
