On 1 April 1982 Major Mike Norman, commander of Naval Party 8901,
was looking forward to a peaceful year-long tour of duty on the
Falkland Islands. But events turned out differently, for the next
day the Argentinians invaded and he and his small Royal Marines
garrison found themselves fighting for their lives. They took up
defensive positions in and around Government House and on the
approaches to Stanley to protect the Governor, Rex Hunt, and delay
the enemy's advance. They were prepared to die executing these
orders. After a desperate battle against vastly superior numbers,
Hunt ordered them to lay down their arms. As the surrender took
place, an Argentinian told a Marine: 'The Islands are ours now'.
The response was simple: 'We will be back'. They were, and this is
their story. The Royal Marines of Naval Party 8901 volunteered to
join the Task Force and, some seventy-five days after the invasion,
the men who were forced to watch the raising of the Argentine flag
over the Islands were able, in return, to proudly run up the
Falklands flag once more at Government House. Mike Norman and
Michael Jones's dramatic account draws upon Norman's vivid
recollections, the log book and action reports of the defence of
Government House and Stanley, the testimony of Marines under Mike
Norman's command and recently released government archives.
Many Christians operate out of a place of frustration rather than a
place of faith. While we have access to the greatest power in the
world - the power of God - we often function as though we are
powerless. For this reason, God has inspired me to write this book
to equip and empower believers to access the power of God. If you
keep declaring that prayer changes things, and things in your life
and world are not changing... this book is for you. It is my desire
that you will move from frustration to faith and from weakness to
strength as you learn how to pray like Jesus taught his disciples
in scripture. Whatever you may be facing, rest assured, prayer
works if you just take the time to learn how. Please know that I am
praying for you. With a pastor's heart, Pastor Mike. Pastor Michael
K. Jones is the senior pastor of Progressive Baptist Church in
Indianapolis, Indiana. He has held this position for over 17 years.
Under Pastor Mike's dynamic leadership, Progressive Baptist Church
has experienced tremendous spiritual and numerical growth. Pastor
Jones is also very involved in the Indianapolis community. His
involvement has included but is not limited to serving as a team
chaplain for the Indiana Pacers NBA Basketball Franchise; Adjunct
Homiletics Professor at Christian Theological Seminary; Co-Chair of
the Race Relations Leadership Network; Board Member of National
City Community Development Corporation; Special Lecturer to the
Baptist Minister's Alliance of Indianapolis and Vicinity and much
more. Pastor Jones is committed to ministry and is proud to serve
as long as God grants him an opportunity.
The Bible teaches that Jesus came into the world so that we can
have an amazing life. Pastor Jones masterfully argues that the path
to that amazing life is found in our relationship to God through
Jesus Christ and in our relationships with people. Too many of us
have been tricked into believing that possessions, position and a
list of principles are all we need to have an amazing life. Pastor
Jones teaches us that possessions, position and principles are fine
but only a relationship with a person named Jesus Christ can give
you the amazing life that God has in store for you. As you read
this book, you will discover that God loves you so much that He has
gone to extreme measures to reach out to you so that He can give
you what you need to live an amazing life. The sooner you start
reading, the sooner you begin your journey to your amazing life.
