On February 23, 2010, NXT debuted on a SyFy Channel as a reality show. It featured "NXT Rookies" being paired with "WWE Pros" in a largely ridiculous competition for a WWE title opportunity. I'm not going to cover much of the idiocy that was the show, but focus on the performers themselves. On February 24, 2014 the WWE Network was launched. Three days later, developmental brand NXT re-debuted with the "NXT Arrival" special on that network. The new incarnation of the brand featured athletic competition and mostly coherent storytelling which helped to garner it a loud and loyal fan base. As WWE COO Paul "Triple H" Levesque is fond of pointing out, a large number of the current WWE roster is made up of former NXT Superstars. But how have those stars been treated on their advancement to the "main roster"? That is something this book will attempt to answer. Sometimes with my own opinion, sometimes with the proof that is before us. Either way, we'll look at the good and the bad of NXT call ups. Possibly even with a look to the future. Please keep in mind that the opinions expressed in this material are those of the author alone. You certainly have the right to disagree.

Mike Brown shares how he and his co-pilot, CPT Marco Cordon landed their AH-1G Cobra helicopter after the entire tail-boom was blown off by a North Vietnamese SA-7 Strella surface-to-air missile during the Battle of An Loc in June 1972. The event is set in a context that includes descriptions of the experiences of Mike and his unit, F Battery, 79th Artillery (Blue Max), before and after the shoot-down. The account continues describing how the event continued to influence and shape Mike's life afterward.

The Bible is about one overarching theme: redemption. God's redemptive agenda is not a nebulous philosophy or an ethereal revelation to one person. It chronicles and explains God's self-revelation through many people and set in the context of verifiable human history. The life, death and resurrection of Jesus as presented in the four gospels is the focal point in redemptive strategy when God enters history. The Christian faith, while focused on Jesus, is rooted in the formative narratives of the Old Testament. From the beginning, God has orchestrated his plan. The patriarchs of Israel were the founding pilgrims who paved the way for everything that followed in God's redemptive agenda. This book looks at the lives of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to better understand the extent of revelation God gave to them. We combine the Genesis narratives with other Old and New Testament references to those events to broaden our insight into the vision given to these patriarchs and to us. This is not a comprehensive commentary on the lives of the patriarchs. Rather, it selects certain specific events from the patriarch's lives that speak to us today. My hoped-for result will be our greater appreciation of God's grand purpose in redemption, allowing us to comprehend its enormity, its wonder, its glorious beauty and its inexpressible benefit to us. While finding these truths, we will also discover some embedded life principles along the way that we will do well to know and apply. Through the knowledge of God and His purposes, may our worship be elevated and our love of God grow.

The author's desire is to generate a passion for knowing the Christ of glory. This book attempts to unveil an understanding of God embedded in the comprehensive prophetic record and to elevate our perception of the glory of God and of Christ. This interesting and thorough book explaining "God's Purpose for the Ages" viewed through the prophetic passages of the Bible, can be an invaluable key to understanding those passages which refer to things we cannot relate to from our earthly perspective and to realize the larger context of God's ultimate plan. The book does not require an understanding of Bible prophecy or the end times in order to read and comprehend its meaning. This book gathers prophecy throughout the Bible and organizes it topically for logical understanding. It gives the reader a panoramic view of God's eternal purpose for creation and redemption.

We have an insatiable knack for being attracted by the superficial rather than the real. We allow meaningful things to be supplanted with familiar, comfortable things. Things that once had meaning, we still do, but the meaning has faded. The thing itself becomes the focus. Traditions are not bad, but they can be dangerous to our growing in Christ. Christmas, like so many things we practice, has become a victim of much tradition.The story of the visit of the magi is the subject of this book. That visit is full of intrigue, diabolical plots, divine rescue, mysterious people, and personality studies. In it, we see the overarching providence of God.The best known stories of the Christmas Nativity are often mired in tradition which is often not biblically based.

The solar system most of us grew up with included nine planets, with Mercury closest to the sun and Pluto at the outer edge. Then, in 2005, astronomer Mike Brown made the discovery of a lifetime: a tenth planet, Eris, slightly bigger than Pluto. But instead of adding one more planet to our solar system, Brown's find ignited a firestorm of controversy that culminated in the demotion of Pluto from real planet to the newly coined category of ';dwarf' planet.

An in-depth look at the experience of the civilian life of Britain throughout the four momentous years of World War 1, including volunteering and conscription, women's changing roles, shortages, food queues, rationing, `standard' clothes, air-raids and everyday life, all illustrated by contemporary artefacts, photographs and illustrations.

On 3 September 1939, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain sat tensely at a microphone, using radio to declare that ''this country is at war with Germany''. During the ensuing wartime years, the BBC was the sole radio broadcaster in Britain, boosting morale through programes such as ''ITMA'' and ''Worker''s Playtime''; helping the Home Front with useful hints and advice; transmitting government messages; and providing news. Personalities and stars became household names--Tommy Handley, Arthur Askey, Ethel and Doris Walters, Mr Middleton--and their catchphrases could be heard everywhere. And yet, as this fascinating book explains, the BBC chose to avoid propaganda, and had to tread a fine line between what the people wanted to hear and what it was felt they should hear.

The 1960s have gone down in history as the swinging sixties; when the permissive society swept the UK in a haze of mini-skirts, psychedelic art, festivals and 'love-ins'. In this book, we look at some of the main aspects of living in Britain at the time; how we lived, worked, played and shopped, what we ate, wore, drove, watched and listened to.

Mike Brown's fully illustrated narrative captures what life was really like for children in Britain during the Second World War.

World War II affected every aspect of life on the British home front. From food rationing to air-raid shelters to war work, those left at home had to make huge changes in their day-to-day lives as Britain mobilised, economised, and saved in the name of Victory. This title looks at what these changes actually meant for families.
