Broken Childhood – Mended Dreams : Jimmy Lee
Broken Childhood – Mended Dreams: The Misadventures of Jimmy Lee
Jimmy Lee has led some sort of life!
He had a start in life few would have survived; he was taken into care at three years old and by the time he was eleven he had moved home ten times and attended nine different schools.
His early adolescence was hard by any standards. At fourteen, he ran away to join the Royal Navy and was sent, along with 2000 other boys, to the notorious HMS Ganges at Shotley, in Suffolk, a training establishment where a harsh regime held sway.
He had the misfortune to be placed under the care of two particularly brutal instructors, prone to drunkenness, whose continual bullying and abuse proved too much for his emerging free spirit. Jim fought back and deserted on numerous occasions. Among his many punishments, he suffered ‘cuts’, a particularly brutal form of naval punishment.
The next six years passed with regular naval detentions in the Royal Naval Detention Quarters, Portsmouth, involving exhausting routines and solitary confinements, which ended with a twelve-month sentence in the infamous HM Military Prison Corradina, Malta, after which he was dismissed from the Service and returned to civilian life.
Then his troubles really began!

Scaling the Revenue Engine : Tom Mohr
Scaling the Revenue Engine
The prevailing model of revenue generation conceives of marketing, sales, customer success, finance, and product development as separate activities. But two years of in-depth research and extensive input from world-class practitioners makes clear that the prevailing model is broken.
In Scaling the Revenue Engine, Tom Mohr shows that best practice revenue engines are built as whole systems, bounded by unit economics, with end-to-end workflows and data flows that support orchestrated prospect and customer engagement. Every step is tracked by metrics. Teams leverage data to continuously improve everything.
Mohr gives CEOs and their teams the tools and frameworks they need to scale. He maps out every component of a successful revenue engine and provides practical advice for making engine improvements at every stage of a company, for every variation of business model. Scaling the Revenue Engine is a comprehensive, practical, and powerful tool for business acceleration.

The Promise Land Principle : Richard Christenson
The Promise Land Principle
The book of Exodus provides us with one of the most dramatic adventures of faith found in the Bible. During its forty fantastic chapters, we read about the enslavement of and entire race; a baby set afloat on the Nile river; a speaking shrub; a shepherd’s staff becoming a venomous snake; water transformed into blood; miraculous frogs, gnats, flies, and locus infestations; a death angel; a sea selectively parting for the good guys and swallowing up the bad guys; a seemingly unlimited supply of flat bread on the ground in the desert every morning; birds dropping in for dinner; water flowing out of rocks; and much, much more.
The stuff God pulls off in Exodus is way better than anything Indiana Jones, Iron man, or a Jedi relying upon the force could possibly accomplish. Seriously, someone should consider negotiating a film deal with God. I really believe the story that unfolds in Exodus would be a blockbuster success. Wait, has someone already done that movie?
As fun as it is to read the stupendous Exodus story, I want to make sure you don’t miss the primary reason God inspired this book to be included in the Bible. this intriguing, inspirational narrative is about faith; how god goes about preparing His people to carry out their intended work and warfare with reliance upon His presence, power, and provision. The purpose and possibilities of our partnership with God are the primary teachings conveyed through all the awesome Exodus adventures.

Fool Me Twice : Jules Hannaford
Fool Me Twice
From her carefree early life on a farm in rural South Australia to a marriage that was broken even before it began, then living as a struggling single mother and navigating a string of bad romances – this is the story of a woman whose lessons in life – and love – have been learned the hard way.
Jules Hannaford grew up living an idyllic childhood, full of fun and adventures. She went to boarding school and had the time of her life excelling at sport, making new friends and getting in trouble due to her risk taking and mischievous nature.
When single motherhood called for her to step up and take charge, she found her passion in her career as a teacher, yet she struggled to find someone to share her life with. One day, the opportunity came for her to move across the world, she packed her bags, pulled her daughter out of school, and took the risk of leaving her sleepy home city for Asia’s mega city of Hong Kong.
From then on, life was different. Suddenly, she was in a job she loved, and she no longer had to struggle to make ends meet, but there was still one thing missing. Love.
Optimistic, Jules began internet dating, and unwittingly invited in a new kind of trouble into her life. Was it her trusting nature? Her naïveté? Or was it simply her desperate desire to share her life with someone that made her take the risks that almost cost her life?

From Victim to Victor : Cherie White
From Victim to Victor: A Survivor’s True Story of Her Experiences with School Bullying, How She Overcame, Won Back Her Confidence and Found Peace and Happiness
Geared toward the YA audience, “From Victim to Victor” is a brutally honest, chronological account of the torment suffered at the hands of my classmates and the lack of support received from bystanders, school staff and family during my last six years of school. It is also a record of how my harassers justified their behavior which allowed them to avoid detection and accountability, the blame I took for everything that was happening to me, and the cumulative affects it had on my self-esteem and personality.
I go on to tell of the downward spiral to an attempted suicide at age fourteen, the eventual school transfer and the final realization that the torment long suffered was no reflection on myself but on the twisted and narcissistic personalities of those whom chose to bully someone not originally from the small town.
The manuscript was woven from several old daily journals written as a teenager during that terrible time and had for years been put away. This story was very difficult to write, as it brought back a flood of painful memories.
This memoir was written not only for the therapeutic and cathartic benefits it provided, but also to provide encouragement for the millions of young people whom are bullied today. As you likely know, the statistics of young people being bullied and the suicide rates of these kids today is astronomical!
It is my hope that this book will help bullied and marginalized youth see their own value and the good they bring to this world, despite what others may tell them. It is also my goal that it will provoke them to think before deciding to end their lives and/or the lives of others. My intent in writing this piece is to be a living testimony to bullied victims everywhere that if they stick it out and go on living, life will get better…much better and they too can go on to live normal lives of success, peace and happiness.
Success can come from struggle! Growth can come from pain!
