Böcker av Paul Garner

Giants... in most of our thinking they are creatures of myth, relegated to fairy-tale or fantasy, always large and threatening, often outwitted by a clever, much smaller hero.This book is titled 'The Giants We Face'. What giants can we possibly face today in our ordinary, everyday lives? What could be the lumbering, menacing forces that stand in the way of our goals, of our purpose and destiny, that stops us from reaching our 'happily ever after'?Paul Garner has taken the real, biblical story of the Israelites and their journey from slavery in Egypt into the Promised Land and applied it to our lives today. As they explored the land they had been given, the people of God cowered in fear because 'there were giants there'. Paul draws from his experience as a Christian, a pastor and a therapist and shows that you and I are not so different from those ex-slaves.In front of us lies the 'Promised Land', a life of purpose, fulfilment, fruitfulness and contentment ( whatever our circumstances)-a full life in Christ.But there are very real 'giants' to be faced as we aim to lay hold of such a life. One of these is the giant of fear, whether rational or not. How can we face the giant of fear, see it defeated and live free from its control?Do you 'hope for the best and expect the worst?' If you would like to be given some very practical tools and spiritual weapons to fight and conquer the fear of loss, the fear of death and other fears you may face and send them packing, then this little book is the perfect read for you.Thank you Paul, Susan Hind

The first balanced account of the rise and fall of the Mexican business empire of nineteenth-century British entrepreneur Weetman Pearson (Lord Cowdray), showing him to be much more an agent of Mexican national development than of British imperialism.

Porfirio Diaz, President of Mexico (1876-1880 and 1884-1911) dominated his country during a crucial phase of its development into a modern nation. A comprehensive biography of Diaz, this text is an account of political survival and demise.
