A brilliant narrative history tracing today’s troubles back to the grandiose imperial overreach of Great Britain and the United States. Kingmakers is the gripping story of how the modern Middle East came to be, as told through the lives of the Britons and Americans who shaped it. Some are famous (Lawrence of Arabia and Gertrude Bell); others infamous (Harry St. John Philby, father of Kim); some forgotten (Sir Mark Sykes, Israel’s godfather, and A. T. Wilson, the territorial creator of Iraq). All helped enthrone rulers in a region whose very name is an Anglo-American invention. The aim of this engrossing character-driven narrative is to restore to life the colorful figures who gave us the Middle East in which Americans are enmeshed today.

In every area of society, some women stand out from the crowd. Wellington Boone calls them Kingmakers. They're the women that people remember. They're the women that people should listen to. They're the wives, mothers, teachers, and managers who helped others become what they are today. You don't see the mom behind a person who becomes great, but she's a Kingmaker, whether you see her or not. She's under-acknowledged and under-appreciated, but she's a Kingmaker just the same. A Kingmaker has the power of influence over another person's life and the ability from God to make that person great.Wellington Boone calls his wife Katheryn the Kingmaker who inspired his book Women Are Kingmakers! They have been married for 45 years. He honors his wife as his Kingmaker, but how does she rate him as a husband?Let's look back to an event in 1996 when Wellington Boone was a leading speaker for the explosive Christian men's organization called Promise Keepers that was filling football stadiums with enthusiastic men and a pastor developing leaders who were men and women of character.At a Promise Keepers event in Chicago that year, his topic was "Going All Out for Your Wife" and he was on a roll. Men cheered as he told them how to become more like Christ to their wives. Then he stopped and called his wife Katheryn to come from backstage. As the Windy City blew everything off his podium, he asked her to tell the men what she had said to him the night before at their hotel. Katheryn Boone had already been his wife for 23 years, so few things he did could surprise her, but this time 80,000 men were watching as she walked across the stage to respond to him. She said. "My husband came back to the hotel last night. I didn't come to the evening meeting so I didn't know anything that was going on and he asked me a question. He said, "Hon, how would you rate me, from one to ten?" He didn't prep me or anything. I really thought about this thing and I didn't answer him right away, I just want you to know, but I told him from one to ten, I rate him an eleven."They still have the same success teaching men and women truths that make marriages last!BISHOP BOONE has been a respected Christian ministry leader and pioneer in reconciliation for more than 45 years. From small churches to stadiums he has equipped men and women to be pastors and leaders through personal transformation by prayer, the Bible, Jesus Christ and His eternal principles, a daily lifestyle of holiness with the power of the Holy Spirit. His teachings are both spiritual and practical with a consciousness of living all of life with eternity in view. He is known for personally developing leaders with enduring Christ-like character. Recently he and his wife Katheryn began a new outreach to Germany, the country where they met in high school many years ago.As a motivational speaker known for biblical substance, he has taught and inspired more than a million people in live audiences. He is the founder of the Fellowship of International Churches and is respected by international Christian denominations and ministries of all kinds, including Promise Keepers, YWAM, MorningStar, and the Salvation Army. He has served on prestigious megachurch and national and international boards, including the Evangelical Council of Financial Accountability (ECFA), Regent University Board of Trustees, and March for Jesus U.S. (chairman of the board).A popular author for Doubleday, Broadman and Holman, and other publishers, his books include Your Wife Is Not Your Momma, A Man's Journey with God, Black Self-Genocide, Dare to Hope, Holy Ghost Is My Friend, Low Road to New Heights, Women Are Kingmakers! and Your Journey with God. Regent University houses the Wellington Boone Collection of four decades of his books, manuscripts, research, and multimedia. He is committed to developing leaders with Christ-like character everywhere. More resources at https: //wellingtonboone.com.

An exciting examination of the entire history of the Carolingian 'dynasty' in western Europe. The author shows the whole period to be one of immense political, religious. cultural and intellectual dynamism; not only did it lay the foundations of the governmental and administrative institutions of Europe and the organisation of the Church, but it also securely established the intellectual and cultural traditions which were to dominate western Christendom for centuries to come.

In the nineteenth century, virtually anyone could get into the United States. But by the 1920s, U.S. immigration policy had become a finely filtered regime of selection. Desmond King looks at this dramatic shift, and the debates behind it, for what they reveal about the construction of an American identity. Specifically, the debates in the three decades leading up to 1929 were conceived in terms of desirable versus undesirable immigrants. This not only cemented judgments about specific European groups but reinforced prevailing biases against groups already present in the United States, particularly African Americans, whose inferior status and second-class citizenship--enshrined in Jim Crow laws and embedded in pseudo-scientific arguments about racial classifications--appear to have been consolidated in these decades. Although the values of different groups have always been recognized in the United States, King gives the most thorough account yet of how eugenic arguments were used to establish barriers and to favor an Anglo-Saxon conception of American identity, rejecting claims of other traditions. Thus the immigration controversy emerges here as a significant precursor to recent multicultural debates. Making Americans shows how the choices made about immigration policy in the 1920s played a fundamental role in shaping democracy and ideas about group rights in America.

"The story of Martin Luther King Jr. is one of the most influential narratives in American and world history. Here, Dr. Marcus 'Goodie' Goodloe shares a missing and often forgotten part of that story, writing vividly and insightfully about King's efforts to intersect athletes and entertainers in the struggle for equal opportunity, justice, and peace.Kingmaker: Applying Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 's Leadership Lessons in Working with Athletes and Entertainers will inspire you to live differently while pursuing more enlightening and practical ways to do just that. Dr. Goodloe challenges us all to learn from and understand Martin Luther King Jr.'s life and legacy in new and different ways. Focusing on King's working relationships with respected figures in the athletic and entertainment industries, Goodloe extracts 'leadership lessons' from which people of all walks of life can learn. A remarkably revealing and highly provocative presentation by an emerging young King scholar, who is also committed to educating and empowering 'Kingmakers' for today and tomorrow." Lewis V. Baldwin Emeritus Professor of Religious Studies Vanderbilt University Author of The Voice of Conscience: The Church in the Mind of Martin Luther King Jr FOREWORD As one who taught the life and ministry of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to seminary students preparing for ministry, I was intrigued with the fresh word and new insights that Goodie Goodloe shares about Dr. King. Goodie writes about the Dr. King we thought we knew. Using very clear language, he introduces us to an easy reading of a book with well researched and well documented stories that makes Dr. King better known and deeper appreciated. The segregated Christians, their pastors, and the poor who marched and went to jail with Dr. King did not underwrite the high cost of freedom. Goodie explains the leadership skills of Dr. King as a fundraiser and strategist who had cultivated friendships with actors, entertainers, and athletes whose fundraising efforts kept the Civil Rights Movement alive. Teachers of leadership can inform and inspire their students by reading how Dr. Goodloe interprets the leadership genius of the peaceful warrior, author, preacher-orator, scholar and servant leader in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. You will not regret purchasing this book or more copies to give friends.
