Bøger af Jim Richards

'I never saw the wires.' Those opening words introduce a potentially-deadly sailplane crash, from which, by a twist of fate, the author escapes unharmed. From that near-death experience to the poignant final farewell scene, Jim Richards' first-person story, with its audacious choices, unswerving determination, and joy in the doing is a page-turner. With vivid descriptions, optimism and wry humor the author traces his lifelong fascination with aircraft, taking the reader behind the scenes in radio, advertising and on high-action commercial film shoots involving refueling tankers, jet fighters, helicopters, Concorde and, of course, sailplanes. For the author, learning to fly sailplanes at Narromine, New South Wales, was at first befuddling, then a challenge, finally an exultation. With an unrivaled eye for detail, he takes us into the cockpit with him; we are there at the controls, rising like a bird, flying great distances at speed, powered only by the sun. Richly textured with anecdotes, memorable characters and pulse-quickening action, The Road To Narromine will lift your spirits, re-awaken belief in a glass half full and change forever the way you view a summer sky. "Loved the descriptions of flying and the sheer joy of it comes through beautifully. Jim Richards makes me want to get up there in the thermals with him." Carl Hoffman-best-selling author of The Lunatic Express and Hunting Warbirds "The Road To Narromine is a love story-a story about a love of flying, told with infectious enthusiasm, in brilliant, evocative prose. This is a book that delights, surprises and enchants the reader with its subject's flame for life." Clinton Smith-award-winning author of The God Game, The Fourth Eye, Exit Alpha, Deep Six and Project Thunder " . . . truly captures the beauty and mystery of silent flight. Full of inside details, vast panoramas and human interest . . . about much more than just the flying. I want to drive that road!" Tony Koester-author, columnist, editor, sailplane pilot, flying instructor.

Sometime during our life, we have to decide two things - "Who am I?" and "Who is Jesus?". It might be on our deathbed, but sooner or later we will all give answers. And what we believe about Jesus will influence both of those decisions whether we are a follower of Jesus or not. Practicing faith in tough times is often not easy. James Richards writes with a very personable, engaging and approachable style, using wit, at times light humor and wisdom, which keeps the reader interested and the narrative flowing. Who Do You Think You Are? is the result of realizing God's unreasonable love, how it can change the way we see ourselves and God, and, what it means to serve Him without choking on a must-do list of rules and regulations. Jim Richards, author of Who Do You Think You Are?, is an Animal Science graduate who lives in northern California with his wife where they dig in the gardens, herd gophers, and play with their three grandkids. When not playing at golf, fishing, camping, or driving RC trucks he loves to spend time in the yard at the grill. He can be reached at missingmountain71@gmail.com

There is one lie powerful enough to seduce the entire world and compel all of humanity into anarchy, rebellion, rioting, and the destruction of civilization as we know it. It's playing out right now in the streets of major cities around the globe. Thankfully, it's not too late to discover the simple truth that can bring peace, safety, and justice to our world! What is happening in America and many of the first-world nations is not to make the nations better. It certainly is not to make our streets less violent or to create a better Constitution. What is happening in countries around the world is a game of deception. Through corrupt news media, with corrupt politicians' support, our citizens' ignorance is being exploited. There are very real problems around the globe; however, every citizen living in a country where there is rioting, social unrest, and economic instability must realize that deceit is the tool. The exaggeration of real problems provides misdirection. While you're looking at the events unfolding before your eyes, those who intend to steal your freedom are robbing you blind! The goal is the collapse of your economy and the takeover of your country. Even this is a tool; it is not the goal. The goal is an elitist world, with no middle class, where there are the uber-wealthy and those who serve them. Jesus foretold these events and provided the tools and strategies necessary to overcome these godless pursuits. In this book, I will remind you of Jesus' warnings and strategies. Then, like any sickness, a proper diagnosis can show us the path to the cure! Believers need to stand for Jesus more than political figures, put godly values ahead of political correctness, and walk in love according to God's Word. More than being Woke, we are to be the light in a dark world, the salt that heals, and the standard that changes the world and restores true justice!

When young Jim Richards left the army to make to chase a dream, he had no language skills, no money and no idea, just the kind of gold lust that has driven fortune hunters throughout history. And when he struck gold and diamonds in the remote rivers of Guyana, his problems and his success grew in equal measure. Jim Richards has done it all: dived for diamonds in the piranha-infested rivers of South America; discovered a fabulously rich goldmine in the Australian outback; got caught up in the world's biggest mining scam in Indonesia; and even started a gold rush in the war-torn jungles of Laos. Jim Richards has gone on to found a string of successful mining businesses. Today he is one of the industry's most respected executives – although his many enemies would disagree.

Gold Rush is a blood-and-guts treasure hunt - the ultimate adventure story.
