Each of the 1,401 powerful verses has either a question that pricks the
conscience of the reader, excites him or her, and provokes in the
reader the urge to review one’s relationship with God. Interacting with
some of the posers contained in this work will definitely lead to a
sober reflection of the reader, as well as strengthen one’s abiding
faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. In addition to the questions, there are
some explanations on some of the deep sayings of the Holy Book which
most readers tend to misconstrue. Above all, this work will induce
readers, particularly Christians, to take ownership in godly pursuits
and to domesticate their relationship with God as against the lukewarm
attitude of most Christians who treat God as an abstract being. This
work is about the desire to draw near the God in us and to personalize
our relationship with him. The work concludes with an afterword, which
is candid advice from the heart of the author to all readers.

wisest and wittiest quotations. Quotable Shakespeare proves that

Bard's uniquely perceptive and influential works.
What are the hidden factors that motivate armies to prevail and
conquer against all the odds? What is it that encourages soldiers
to perform unbelievable acts of courage even when the odds against
them look overwhelming? The words of inspired leaders and generals
are often the key factor. Sometimes it is just the soldier on
ground who sums up the situation best. It would seem that the day
of the set-piece conventional battle is over. For centuries their
format changed little. Even if this scenario has now changed, the
need for leaders to communicate in times of adversity has not.
Words of War covers an immense breadth - from Ancient Greece,
Alexander the Great, mediaeval battles, the American Civil War, the
two World Wars through to 21st century conflicts. Words of War
highlights the fascinating contrasts in style and content of
military and political leaders (most absorbing of all are the
extraordinary differences, and also some of the similarities it has
to be said, between the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill
and German leader Adolf Hitler during WWII). Interspersed with the
longer speeches are brief quotes, insightful one-liners and the
light-hearted look at conflict. All throw some light onto what
words drive heroic deeds in the face of adversity.
