Book Description
When it seems that all is lost, and you have no hope, Misplaced Loyalty can be fatal. Detective Patsy Hodge leaves her old life behind, and transfers to Bristol and a new job with the CID. Wanting to make her mark as a female detective she attends a suspicious death with her new boss; straight talking, no nonsense Detective Inspector John Meredith. Within days the body count begins to rise, as victims old and new are discovered to have died in the same way. Some could say the victims were merely party to assisted suicide, others may call it euthanasia, and many believe that either way it shouldn't be classed as a crime; but when it becomes evident that some of the victims were forced to accept a lethal injection, DI Meredith launches a major murder investigation which covers a period of over twenty years. As more victims are discovered, and the investigation gathers pace, someone takes an unhealthy interest in Patsy. Their motive moves from irritating to sinister when her life is threatened. But just how serious is that threat? Despite being surrounded by police officers, the case takes precedent, and Patsy even considers using the services of a private detective, who just happens to be friend and former boss of John Meredith. It's far from clear if this development is connected to the case, Meredith, or perhaps both. With ill feeling developing within the team, the motives of colleagues working on the case are brought into question. Excerpts from reviews for Misplaced Loyalty from Amazon.com & Amazon.co.uk "I could not put this one down and can't wait to read more Meredith & Hodge adventures. Marcia Turner is now on my 'Favourite Author' list." "This was one of those books you just HATE to put down. I was intrigued from the first page and never felt like wanted to just throw it away as has happened once in a while. I think I read this one faster than any in a long time. I just couldn't stop. I loved it!" "I really enjoyed reading this book. It kept me on my toes and I could not wait to pick it up again to start reading it each day. Great author." "As the plot moves on the characters develop so subtly, that, almost without realising it I suddenly found myself fearful for them, smiling with them, then having finished the book, missing them! "I really enjoyed this book. It was well written and paced just right for a thriller. The characters, especially Meredith were very well constructed. The plot twisted and turned and the reveal at the end was excellent." "A sign of a good book is that it can make me laugh out loud, gasp with shock, and keep me up until well past my bed time - This book managed to achieve all three!!!"

The Healthy Leader
Author: Anna Michelle
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1973630966
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
This book will guide you on a journey of self-reflection. It was created to help you identify your character strengths and weaknesses and to motivate you to create a plan of action to empower the leader within you and enhance your personal performance. Developing your character unlocks the leader within you and stabilize your gifts. Sometimes we place people where we think they should go. But the role of leadership is guiding them where they are destined to be. If we concentrate on developing our character first, leadership second, then our gift, we would see far greater results. During the character-building process, you will discover the leader inside you first. During that stage, your gifts are revealed. Many of us become so excited about the talents that we move out and walk in them before fully maturing in all stages. Your gifts are only the vehicles used to transport you into your purpose, which is your final destination. When a person doesnt submit to the character-building process, it causes them to rely on a weak gift. A person with a weak gift becomes a weak leader, and a weak leader will bring disaster to their team. Healthy leaders submit to the maturing process. They rely on their strengths and perfect their weaknesses. They are problem solvers who ultimately become change agents. The greatest problem solvers are those who are curious enoughto search for the solution.

The Truth
Author: Laurel
Publisher: Oracle Institute Press, LLC
ISBN: 9780977392902
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
The Truth is the award-winning first book in The Oracle Institute foundational trilogy. It presents a summary of the divine messages sent to us by God through the Prophets. When studied successively, these spiritual lessons form a "Tower of Truth" that should not be broken or interpreted along sectarian lines. Instead, these Truths should be assimilated into a contemporary spiritual and scientific database and shared by everyone, regardless of religious affiliation.The Truth explores the five primary religions that evolved after the Prophets died: Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam, to determine whether these manmade religions have remained faithful to the Truth, including the primordial Truth that God is half masculine and half feminine energy. The Truth reveals that mankind has built a "Tower of Babel" with God's messages. Moreover, these now ancient religions have polarized humanity and brought us to the brink of World War III. The book also includes an objective template for measuring the adequacy of any religion, and an Appendix that shows the nexus between politics and religion and politics thought human history.

Pages : 538
Book Description
The manual is standard practice from Tivo to tent pitching, yet blatantly omitted when we give birth and arrive on Earth. We are here now with no manual, swimming in a sea of peripheral information, our most basic and primordial questions left unanswered. Who are we? Why are we here? Just as we use a guidebook when visiting a new country for the first time, so too do we value a guidebook during our stay on Earth. The Book of Life Questions & Answers takes us under its wing on an inspiring, compelling behind-the-scenes tour of our world into the depths of our consciousness, navigating the mentality creating the various arenas of our society. By tying together the threads comprising these sectors in a way we can all understand, we begin to make sense of why we relate to each other as we do, why friction persists at the cost of global peace, and grasp solutions along our journey through the book. The shrouded, seemingly complex reasoning driving our human actions is finally untangled and quite beautifully unraveled. The curtains are swept back to plainly reveal how we have unconsciously created the framework of society as we know it today.

ISBN: 1682470210
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
This volume focuses on naval leadership and ethics with respect to the individual leader and how his or her values and actions affect military cohesion, mission success, and the profession of arms. Moving beyond the “right and wrong” of personal ethics to examine the broader field of professional military ethics, this carefully selected collection of relevant materials from the Naval Institute's vast collection of articles recognizes the range of experience, perspectives, and opinions that are found in the sea services and argues that diversity does not preclude acceptance of common core values and standards of performance within any unit. Included are articles by Adm. Arleigh Burke and Vice Adm. James B. Stockdale that speak from long personal experience regarding the topics of integrity and moral courage.
