HMS Turbulent


Book Description

HMS Turbulent was a Royal Navy T-class submarine. From its launch in May 1941 to when it was lost at sea, along with its entire crew, in March 1943, it was responsible for the sinking of nearly 100,000 tons of enemy shipping. Besides the number of enemy vessels it sunk, HMS Turbulent has gone down in history for the attack on the Italian merchant vessel the Nino Bixio, which at the time was carrying more than 3,000 Allied POWs who had been captured during the fighting in North Africa. Having left the Libyan port of Benghazi on 16 August 1942, accompanied by the Italian cargo vessel the Sestriere, the Nino Bixio was attacked the following day. A total of 336 Allied POWs, most of whom were either Australian or New Zealanders, were killed or died of their wounds in the explosion. Although badly damaged, the Nino Bixio stayed afloat and was towed to Navarino, in southern Greece, where the surviving POWs disembarked. The wounded were treated in hospital, while the rest were shipped on to POW camps in Bari, Italy. Although there have been different theories put forward as to how HMS Turbulent met its end off the Italian coast in 1943, there is still no absolute certainty as to where, when and how the boat and its crew were lost.







Triumphant Warriors in a Turbulent World


Book Description

The Bible clearly tells us that the end of time is near. The devil is constantly assaulting God's people with devastating forms of spiritual warfare. This war is being waged world wide. The battlefield is in the heart of every believer and the souls of mankind are the prize. We, as Christians, must not fear and give up. God is on our side and we will win. We are instructed to put on the whole armor of God. But what are our weapons? How do we learn to use them? How do we fight an unseen enemy? What does God expect of us? Can we really be victorious? The purpose of this book is to show how God's Word answers these questions. It is my desire that you fully comprehend what God has given to me, so - "I've tried to write it, so that you can understand it." In 1970, while a senior at the University of Georgia, Danny Callahan, received his calling into the ministry. God's words were crystal clear that day, as He shared His will for Danny's life. Then the Lord ended His instructions with these words, "I want you to say it so that they can understand." After graduation Danny entered the job market and pursued his own dreams. But "the calling" haunted him day and night. After struggling for two years, he surrendered his will to God, and his life has never been the same. He started his first youth group in 1973 and served as a youth minister for the next twenty years. In August of 1993 he accepted the pastorate of Kettle Creek Church, in Waycross, Georgia. He has faithfully ministered there for the past fifteen years and continues to humbly serve as their Shepherd.




Turbulent Waters


Book Description

This book is a novel. It is about the persecution of Protestants during the last several years in a neighbor country. It is written from facts, not fancy. Situations similar to those it describes are carefully documented (see Preface). No Christian publisher enjoys issuing a book that leads to strong protest and sharp criticism of another faith; for our job is primarily to preach the Gospel. But Christians, U.S.A., ought to know what the Church in other lands is going through as a call to sincere, persistent prayer. Moreover, history points repeatedly to the good effect on other Christians who have read about or seen the glad trials of faith undergone by Christian martyrs; our own conviction and devotion become heightened, even as happened to the Christians in St. Paul’s time, who were made bold by his imprisonment. And finally, the truth should be told to demonstrate once again the damage of a religious system founded upon St. Peter rather than upon Christ the Rock; a change of roots results in a different fruit from that of love. Our hope is that reading this book will lead to indignation, not wrath; and to a better understanding of the reasons behind the intolerance of the Roman Catholic system when released from legal restraints and allowed to find its natural level of activity.

A Turbulent Voyage


Book Description

Hayes was guided by a developmental or historical approach in the general compilation of each section's readings. By doing so, the author hopes that the reader will be enabled to arrive at a critical understanding of the conditions and forces that have influenced the African American experience.
