Fifty artefacts, buildings and places that together provide a fascinating insight into the life and legacy of Jane Austen to coincide with the 250th anniversary of her birth in December 2025.
A journey back in time through objects and locations into the life of one of Britain's most enigmatic and celebrated individuals.A twentieth century icon, Lawrence of Arabia, as Thomas Edward Lawrence is more commonly known, spent thirteen out of his forty-six years in the region from which he drew his name. This was as a scholar researching his university thesis, a spy surveying Sinai for the British Army before the First World War, an intelligence officer in Cairo, a liaison officer to the Arabs, and as a diplomat who galvanised and united the Arab tribes into an effective fighting force. He became an explosives expert and a guerrilla fighter who influenced Arab leaders in defeating their Ottoman occupiers.The story of his achievements in Arabia, derailing Turkish trains and attacking enemy strongholds, has become the stuff of legend. But his life after the disappointment of witnessing the Arabs being denied independence at the end of the First World War is as intriguing as his more famous escapades in the desert.Uncomfortable with the fame and celebrity status that Lowell Thomas's lectures brought upon him, after a brief tenure as a civil servant working for Winston Churchill in an attempt to address the failure of achieving Arab independence at the Cairo Conference, Lawrence, the former Lieutenant-Colonel, remarkably sought a life in obscurity. In the years after the war, for example, he served in the Royal Air Force as an aircraftsman and spent a brief period as a private in the Royal Tank Corps under the alias John Hume Ross or Thomas Edward Shaw. He became a competent marine motor mechanic, and was personally involved in the development of the fast RAF 200 Seaplane tender and an armoured target boat. He also became a renowned author and could claim literary giants such as Thomas Hardy, E.M. Forster and George Bernhard Shaw as his friends.In this highly illustrated book, the story of Lawrence's fascinating life is explored through many of the places and objects associated with him, from his birthplace in Wales through to his grave at Moreton in Dorset. Lawrence of Arabia features his places of education in Oxford, sites where he served as a British Army intelligence officer in Cairo, as liaison officer and adviser to the Arabs, even where he fought alongside his Arab brothers against the Ottomans.It also follows his life in the years after Arabia. Some of the fascinating locations Paul Kendall visits include RAF stations at Calshot and Bridlington, or the Tank Depot at Bovington Camp where he served in the ranks, his cottage at Clouds Hill and the homes of his famous friends that he frequently visited. The objects examined include Arab robes that he wore, his Khanjar, his service rifle, and even the Brough motorcycle which he enjoyed and valued.This book is not just a journey across Arabia, Britain and Europe, but also a journey back in time through objects and locations into the life of one of Britain's most enigmatic and celebrated individuals.

La Verdad, encontrarla es la razón por lo que usted ha abierto este libro; usted quiere información que sea sólida y digna de confianza. Usted necesita la verdad, porque la verdad siempre funciona, así como dos más dos es igual a cuatro. La Verdad siempre funcionará en su matrimonio sin importar las circunstancias. "El Milagro en el Matrimonio" sería un título gracioso para un libro si estuviera basado en una teoría del hombre pero este libro no está basado en una teoría del hombre; está basado en la fuente de sabiduría más digna de confianza - la Palabra de Dios. Isaías 55:11 dice que "La palabra de Dios no regresará vacía;" ¿cómo es posible esto? Porque la Palabra de Dios es verdad, y la verdad siempre funciona. La Escritura continúa diciendo que en donde quiera que se hable prosperará; prospera porque la verdad reemplaza la mentira y cuando sus decisiones y acciones están basadas en la verdad sus circunstancias empiezan a cambiar. Este libro está lleno de principios bíblicos de verdad que traerán vida nueva a su matrimonio si simplemente los aplica. Conforme lea estas páginas, usted aprenderá técnicas que cuando las aplique a su matrimonio, siempre funcionarán. Sé que la idea de aprender nuevas técnicas pueda sonar menos que emocionante, hasta que se dé cuenta que ya las está usando en su matrimonio. El problema es que no están funcionando; usted no está recibiendo los resultados que desea. Por lo tanto su gran reto en este libro será reemplazar sus técnicas inefectivas con unas nuevas, basadas en principios de verdad. Isaías 43:18-19 dice, "Ya no se acuerden de las cosas pasadas; no hagan memoria de las cosas antiguas. Fíjense en que yo hago algo nuevo, que pronto saldrá a la luz. ¿Acaso no lo saben? Volveré a abrir un camino en el desierto, y haré que corran ríos en el páramo." Si usted está enfrentando retos extremos, esa escritura podría ser difícil de creer, pero Dios puede hacer cosas nuevas en su matrimonio. Mi esposa Evie y yo hemos estado casados por casi 30 años, pero en nuestro treceavo año de matrimonio tocamos fondo. Fue un tiempo muy obscuro. Estábamos a dos firmas del divorcio y básicamente sólo tratando de decidir qué sería lo mejor para nuestros dos hijos bajo esas circunstancias, cuando alguien nos sugirió que fuéramos a consejería matrimonial. No me gustó la idea porque yo siempre me consideré el que ayudaba, no el ayudado. Además, yo era ministro y a decir verdad estaba bastante avergonzado de ir. Pero decidí ir solamente por una razón: para que después de mi divorcio, pudiera ver a los ojos a mis dos hijos y decirles, "¡intenté todo para hacer funcionar las cosas con su madre....aún ir a consejería!" Definitivamente era la razón equivocada para ir, pero me llevó ahí. En nuestra primera cita los consejeros nos dijeron a Evie y a mí que querían que nos uniéramos a un programa de grupo de doce semanas junto con otras cinco parejas. La idea de la consejería era suficientemente mala - ¡La idea de estar en grupo parecía simplemente una tortura! Yo me resistía, pero esos consejeros no lo iban a hacer de otra manera, así que nos registramos para el siguiente grupo. Aparte de la frustración de tener que participar en un grupo, el lugar de nuestra reunión estaba a 45 minutos. Las últimas ocho millas eran como de bajada en un lavadero y en la semana número uno ¡perdí el mofle! Hasta tuvimos que conseguir quien cuidara nuestros hijos, lo cual era muy difícil para nosotros porque nuestras reuniones eran los domingos por la mañana, pero estábamos determinados a intentar. Así que sé que las cosas pueden parecer verdaderamente duras para usted. Estoy seguro que las son, pero quiero animarlo a poner su confianza no en una persona, no en un libro, sino en la verdad de Dios y confiar en Dios para transformar su matrimonio tal como Él lo hizo con el mío.

It's the age old complaint; "We never have enough volunteers." It's the 80/20 rule; "20% of the people do 80% of the work." It's the burn-out syndrome; "He was doing everything and he just got burnt out." The church has a history of difficulty when it comes to volunteerism. I suffered the same for most of my thirty years in ministry until I became a pastor at a church of 1,700+ congregants and was forced to come up with a solution for my department. The end result is a department of 16 very strong ministries, run on a small budget, led by 31 directors and 126 leaders that minister to over 500 people per month. All of which are ... volunteers.If that were not good enough, these volunteers show no sign of burning out or quitting. They're actually energized and reproducing themselves. The programs are continuing to grow and spread to the point that other churches are requesting our material. What is the secret ingredient? The short answer is simply this: solid curriculum, detailed training, and mobilizing people to do the work of Christ. It's a concept called "discipleship." Jesus came up with it a long time ago and it still works to this day. Exactly how does that happen in our modern society? The long and much more detailed answer is in the remainder of this booklet.
