On 2 September 2008, in a valley in eastern Afghanistan, Trooper Mark Donaldson made a split - second decision that would change his life. His display of extraordinary courage that day saw him awarded the Victoria Cross for Australia, making him the first Australian to receive our highest award for bravery in wartime since Keith Payne in 1969. Yet Mark's journey to those crucial moments in Afghanistan was almost as exceptional as the acts that led to his VC. He was a rebellious child and teenager, even before the death of his father - a Vietnam veteran - when Mark and his brother were in their mid - teens. A few years later, their mother disappeared, presumed murdered. Her body has never been found. Mark's decisions could have easily led him down another path, to a life of self - destructiveness and petty crime. But he chose a different road: the army. It proved to be his salvation and he found himself a natural soldier, progressing unerringly to the SAS, the peak of the Australian military. From his turbulent early years to the stark realities of combat in the mountains and valleys of Afghanistan, Mark's book is the frank and compelling story of a man who turned his life around by sheer determination and strength of mind.

Life is a four-way crossroad with a stop sign to the left, one to the right and no sign going up to Heaven or where you are. Our struggles and hardships take us to that point in which we will have to make a choice on the direction in which we must travel. Our decision mold us into what we are but most important where we are to end. I try to live my life the best I can but only in Christ do I lay my trust and my life. You will encounter trails and struggles but God will provide the light so that you may find your way out. He will also provide the strength and encouragement for which we may stand. We must remember this trials and struggles are only bad or negative if we allow them to be. God utilities these stops in our lives to draw us closer to him and to mold our character and personalities. The truth is, our struggles and trails are a blessing moments from God. Life don't have to be a struggle however life will give you struggle and God will give the way out of them. My life has shown me that if I try to control my destiny, I will fail however with God in control of my future, it's boundless and full of possibilities.

Examining interactions between native Americans and whites in eighteenth-century Pennsylvania, Jane Merritt traces the emergence of race as the defining difference between these neighbors on the frontier. Before 1755, Indian and white communities in Pennsylvania shared a certain amount of interdependence. They traded skills and resources and found a common enemy in the colonial authorities, including the powerful Six Nations, who attempted to control them and the land they inhabited. Using innovative research in German Moravian records, among other sources, Merritt explores the cultural practices, social needs, gender dynamics, economic exigencies, and political forces that brought native Americans and Euramericans together in the first half of the eighteenth century. But as Merritt demonstrates, the tolerance and even cooperation that once marked relations between Indians and whites collapsed during the Seven Years' War. By the 1760s, as the white population increased, a stronger, nationalist identity emerged among both white and Indian populations, each calling for new territorial and political boundaries to separate their communities. Differences between Indians and whites--whether political, economic, social, religious, or ethnic--became increasingly characterized in racial terms, and the resulting animosity left an enduring legacy in Pennsylvania's colonial history.

The Crossroad is an enduring and heart-wrenching story of loss and salvation, something that is straight from my heart. The idea had cropped up long back, and it took years for me to contemplate and craft the story, giving it the required meaning and purpose. The story is a work of fiction. This is my first attempt, and when I started writing, I never knew how it would begin and complete and that it would take such forbearing bends. The story defies chronological order of storytelling, merging into the haze of timelessness, delving further in an untried way of first voice, with recurrent narration in different time zones. I do not believe any of the events mentioned in the story has happened or is likely to happen. It is a story created around mysterious facts, lush interpretations, stark imaginations, and stalled dreams. Resemblance to anyone real, living, or dead may or may not be coincidental.

An objective, comprehensive, and accessible examination of today's most crucial problem: preserving the environment in the face of society's insatiable demand for energy. In Energy at the Crossroads, Vaclav Smil considers the twenty-first century's crucial question: how to reconcile the modern world's unceasing demand for energy with the absolute necessity to preserve the integrity of the biosphere. With this book he offers a comprehensive, accessible guide to today's complex energy issues—how to think clearly and logically about what is possible and what is desirable in our energy future. After a century of unprecedented production growth, technical innovation, and expanded consumption, the world faces a number of critical energy challenges arising from unequal resource distribution, changing demand patterns, and environmental limitations. The fundamental message of Energy at the Crossroads is that our dependence on fossil fuels must be reduced not because of any imminent resource shortages but because the widespread burning of oil, coal, and natural gas damages the biosphere and presents increasing economic and security problems as the world relies on more expensive supplies and Middle Eastern crude oil. Smil begins with an overview of the twentieth century's long-term trends and achievements in energy production. He then discusses energy prices, the real cost of energy, and "energy linkages"—the effect energy issues have on the economy, on quality of life, on the environment, and in wartime. He discusses the pitfalls of forecasting, giving many examples of failed predictions and showing that unexpected events can disprove complex models. And he examines the pros and cons not only of fossil fuels but also of alternative fuels such as hydroenergy, biomass energy, wind power, and solar power. Finally, he considers the future, focusing on what really matters, what works, what is realistic, and which outcomes are most desirable.

USA Today's Best Selling Author brings you a new MC. This is the Prequel to the upcoming series Crossroad Soldiers MC. Originally part of USA Today's best selling anthology - Wanted: An Outlaw Anthology Jasper When I got out of the military I was at a crossroads in my life. But like any good soldier who longed for brotherhood, I started an MC with one of my closest friends, who’d also been one of my brothers in the special forces. It was hard for us to adapt and we longed for the bonds that we created. That’s when the Crossroad Soldiers was formed. That was twenty years ago. Yeah, we’re not considered good men because of the dealings we have. But, we do have our boundaries and morals. I also married my high school sweetheart, and together we formed a family that is impenetrable. She is the love of my life, my one weakness in life other than our children. Miracle When my man Jasper left for the service, I never imagined he’d be changed to the degree he was when he returned. I knew at first glance that he was missing something. When he came to me about the idea of the MC, I knew that I could either stand by him and support him or lose him forever. That wasn’t something I was willing to do. He was and is the love of my life. With me by his side, we formed a different type of family. One who would take a bullet for you and never ask for an apology for the outcome. As an old lady, we are prepared for the possibility that once our man walks out that door it may be the last time he’s held us in his arms or placed his lips upon ours. Is it a perfect relationship? No, but what fun would that be? There is a new enemy in town. Can they come out of this unscathed? Or will their family and MC forever be changed? Meant for readers over the age of 18

As much as we love God, our connection with God does not make us automatic recipients of His promises. As endearing as Moses was to God, there was a behavior he demonstrated that prevented him from crossing into the Land of Canaan. One aspect of being a part of the Joshua generation is acknowledging and accepting that there were some actions, behaviors, and deeds the preceding generation did that prevented them from entering their Promised Land. Even as intended recipients of the spoken promises of God, we can also demonstrate actions, behaviors, and deeds on the road towards our promise that can prevent us from ever seeing them unfolded in our lives. The Crossroad is an enlightening devotional that addresses several spiritual elements that appear on the road towards the promise that can misdirect us and hinder us from ever accessing the promises of God for our lives. It discusses how disobedience, weaknesses, an evil report, and frustration can cause us to miss the promises of God altogether. By the conclusion of this devotional, readers will be encouraged to develop a better understanding of the barriers that could prevent us from entering the promises of God and become determined to avoid them to experience God’s abundance.
