Paperback. Condizione: Good. Gold Rush fan favorite Tyler Mahoney shares the secret to being a successful woman in a man's world in her debut memoir. . . If you haven't seen a Discovery Channel gold-hunting show, you might picture a gold prospector as a relic of the Wild West: a TNT-toting, bearded old man wildly swinging a pick on the hunt for nuggets, guided by old maps, superstition, legends and instinct. It's still predominantly a man's world, and still often fanatical, but these days the golden dream attracts people from all walks of life--and 25-year-old Tyler Mahoney (Australian star of the Discovery Channel's Gold Rush series) is leading the way. Hailing from Kalgoorlie, Tyler is a fourth-generation gold miner and has seen up close how gold fever makes normally reasonable people do the most irrational things. From mysterious corpses in the desert to huge heists, backstabbings to life-changing finds, Tyler unearths hair-raising stories and legends from Australia's gold prospecting past and present, while sharing her experience forging her way in a traditionally male domain. She writes candidly about the push and pull of the gold world in her own life, as well as her struggles with bipolar disorder --a mental-health challenge that in some ways parallels the feast-or-famine nature of prospecting itself. With humor, grit and an infectious zest for life, "gold digger" Tyler Mahoney stakes her claim.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. We will always obey our Lord at all costs. This is the opposite of the spirit of lawlessness, which despises authority and cultivates chaos, division, and destruction. And there is no doubt that lawless and unrighteous acts are on the rise throughout this country. In a time when unholiness is rampant in our homes, schools, communities, churches, and abroad, there are alarming concerns about these escalating acts. If we're not students of God's word, growing in his grace and love as believers, we can find ourselves vulnerable to the rise of unholiness because it can distort our minds, heart, and attitude. It's important that God's children are on the front line in pursuing God's most divine nature of holiness and living as intentional followers of Christ. Because make no mistake: God the Father, Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit are not pleased with all the unholy practices saturating our lives. They are calling believers to intercede in the gap and bridge God's holiness in people's lives As devout Christians, we are needed more than ever because an intense battle of spiritual warfare is spreading where evil is trying to take over, and we cannot allow this to happen.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Updated Second Edition of the popular men's discipleship book. Includes updated diagrams, mile markers to break up the book into 25 in-depth studies, identity spread throughout the book instead of one deep chapter. Men loved the diagrams that visualized concepts, so I updated some to provide more clarity and I added new ones. Questions spread out in the book for small groups so that you do not have to buy yet another book. This interactive study book is designed to provide practical, biblical wisdom that can be applied immediately, and meaningfully passed on from one man to another through discipleship, mentoring, and most importantly, fatherhood. Designed for individual use or within a small group, the goal of this book is to provide interactive practical guidance for everyday life rooted in the classic virtues. So why should you care about the virtues as a man? Do carelessness, fear, gluttony, injustice, uncertainty, despair, and indifference sound like a summary of what plaques the modern male? The virtues are nothing new, in fact, these 7 virtues and associated properties or sub-virtues not only trace back to the Bible, but to Aristotle, and Plato. The four cardinal virtues of prudence, fortitude, justice, and temperance are part of natural law and written on the heart of every man, whereas the theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity are infused by the Holy Spirit into the heart of every disciple of Christ. The theological virtues give the cardinal virtues power as faith provides men the motivation, charity the implementation, and hope the destination. Man's Ultimate Challenge will equip you to live as men of: (1) FORTITUDE and not FEAR; (2) PRUDENCE and not CARELESSNESS; (3) TEMPERANCE and not GLUTTONY; (4) JUSTICE and not INJUSTICE; (5) FAITH and not UNCERTAINTY; (6) HOPE and not DESPAIR; (7) CHARITY and not INDIFFERENCE. This book is interactive in that throughout the book you will have opportunities to engage with the text through diagnostic questions, study, memory tables, and even Internet research. At the end I hope that you feel equipped, challenged and encouraged to be the man God called you to be.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Unresolved emotional pain may be the greatest hindrance to becoming the person you were created to be. It can cripple in ways we are not even aware. It shapes our personality, relationships, and family dynamics. It can and will, without our permission, shape the path of our life. If emotional pain is not recognized and addressed, it can burrow deep within our souls and foster a life of darkness and depression. At the age of 58, Danny Mullins hit emotional bottom. Diagnosed as clinically depressed, the remainder of his life held little promise for him. All joy of living had vanished. In his darkest hours, he turned to the Word of God in the hopes of something changing. He found that hope in Psalm 27. Through this song of David, the Spirit of God sparked the embers of expectation that eventually culminated in the healing of his heart. Darkness to Light is a chronicle of his journey from clinical depression to a renewed life of peace and joyful expectation. Through this book, Danny shares the truths and insights that changed his life. The journey was neither brief nor easy, but the road he walked led to a life of fulfillment he never expected to experience again. The Word of God and inner healing prayer brought him out of the darkness in which he was living and into the light of a new day. This is a down-to-earth, rubber-meets-the-road account of one man's journey out of depression.…

From their union, Michael Wenger has three children, four grandchildren, and one great grandchild.
