Enemy of the State


Book Description

“In the world of black-op thrillers, Mitch Rapp continues to be among the best of the best” (Booklist, starred review), and he returns in the #1 New York Times bestselling series alone and targeted by a country that is supposed to be one of America’s closest allies. After 9/11, the United States made one of the most secretive and dangerous deals in its history—the evidence against the powerful Saudis who coordinated the attack would be buried and in return, King Faisal would promise to keep the oil flowing and deal with the conspirators in his midst. But when the king’s own nephew is discovered funding ISIS, the furious President gives Rapp his next mission: he must find out more about the high-level Saudis involved in the scheme and kill them. The catch? Rapp will get no support from the United States. Forced to make a decision that will change his life forever, Rapp quits the CIA and assembles a group of independent contractors to help him complete the mission. They’ve barely begun unraveling the connections between the Saudi government and ISIS when the brilliant new head of the intelligence directorate discovers their efforts. With Rapp getting too close, he threatens to go public with the details of the post-9/11 agreement between the two countries. Facing an international incident that could end his political career, the President orders America’s intelligence agencies to join the Saudis’ effort to hunt the former CIA man down. Rapp, supported only by a team of mercenaries with dubious allegiances, finds himself at the center of the most elaborate manhunt in history. With white-knuckled twists and turns leading to “an explosive climax” (Publishers Weekly), Enemy of the State is an unputdownable thrill ride that will keep you guessing until the final page.

Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table


Book Description

Louie Giglio helps you find encouragement, hope, and strength in the midst of any valley as you reject the enemy voices of fear, rage, lust, insecurity, anxiety, despair, temptation, or defeat. Scripture is clear: the Enemy is a liar who will stop at nothing to tempt you into poor decisions and self-defeating mindsets, making you feel afraid, angry, anxious, or defeated. It is all too easy for Satan to weasel his way into a seat at the table intended for only you and your King. But you can fight back. Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table outlines the ways to overcome those lies so you can find peace and security in any challenging circumstance or situation. With the same bold, exciting approach to Scripture as employed in Goliath Must Fall and his other previous works, pastor Louie Giglio examines Psalm 23 in fresh ways, highlighting verse 5: "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies." You can find freedom from insecurity, temptation, and defeat--if you allow Jesus, the Shepherd, to lead the battle for your mind and heart. This spiritual warfare book for those who are leery of spiritual warfare books will resonate with Louie's core Passion tribe as well as with Christians of all ages who want to live a triumphant life in God.

The Unruly Project


Book Description

Projects rarely takes place as foreseen. Delay and budget overrun are the rule rather than the exemption besides the project not often yielding the expected value. Construction has long been famous for its bad performance, but these days IT-projects set a new and unprecedented standard. The world is rish in litterature on project management, systems for its control and consultant eager to assist, but seemingly witout any impact on the project's own performance But Why? Seek the Know-Why and the know-how will come by itself, says the author inspired by Japanese Shigeo Shingo, and so he does. In his book he unfolds his understanding of the project's nature and offer a new approach to its management, based on his Value-Flow-Operations theory, in an easy to read and understand - and often entertaining - form. The book is a pioneer work where the author, based upon more than fifty years' professional work with projects combines his own experience with inspiration form fields as different as hydraulics, complex systems theory, chaos, social sciences and war, along with reasearch in lean construction. Basically we have not understood the project's true nature, is his provocative hypothesis, and therefore it so often is out of control. It is the fundamental assumption that all can be planned and that the plans then can be followed, we have to give up. Plans are never followed, not because of bad planning, but because plans can never be followed in real life, is his provocative statement before proposing a lean approah to better project mangement, an approach that works!
