In this tribute to the author's beloved grandfather, we are taken not only through life as it was known on a 1900's Midwest farm but on a journey of discovery from where the Litwiller family first came. In his reflective, narrative tone, Terrence walks us through not only everything he has come to learn about his grandfather that died when he was only two years old, his family history back to France, Germany and Switzerland and the family's deep Mennonite roots - but also shares some insights into the nature of family research itself and adds some historical research and context. First and foremost, this is a story of family: a tribute to a beloved man known for his faith, sincerity and love, and of how tiny glimpses in time can leave life changing marks on those around us.

There are two different categories of believers: those who believe, and those who put their beliefs into action. Which would you be considered? Do you see yourself as a solider for God-fighting for the abundant life that's available to you and those around you? Are you someone who uses the Holy Spirit to defeat every attack that Satan throws your way? As long as we are on this earth, we are living amidst a continuous spiritual battle between good and evil. This battle manifests itself to us in our everyday lives: through our thoughts, circumstances, choices-and the mere repercussion of other's choices around us. The key to navigating the battlefield is to recognize that you are never fighting alone; to recognize that God sent you a "Helper" called the Holy Spirit. DRAFTED has been written to simply open you to a new way of seeing your life, your purpose, and the opposition you face. May it inspire you to take your position in the army of God and activate the Holy Spirit within you. And may it unlock an understanding that every battle you will ever face has already been won.

" Il était quatre heures du matin. Une tasse de café à la main, Gérard, le skipper, venait juste de me réveiller pour prendre mon quart.─ Hello, Jehan ! C'est à toi ! Couvre toi, il fait deux degrés dehors.Encore endormi, je regardai ce bon gros nounours dans son passe-montagne. Pour lutter contre l'humidité, il avait enfilé des gants Mapa sur ses gants de laine. Je ne pus m'empêcher d'éclater de rire.─ OK, j'arrive. D'un bond, déjà habillé, je quittai ma bannette et enfilai mon ciré Cotten.─ Je prends tes gants, Gérard ? ajoutai-je avec un clin d'oeil.─ Oui, vas-y ! Bon, R.A.S. Tu navigues comme ça au cap 20. Au niveau de l'île de Wight, tu ramènes au 360. Là, il ne sera pas loin de huit heures, l'heure de la relève. Bon quart ! Si tu as un problème, tu me réveilles... Puis il disparut dans la cabine.Nous avions décidé de fêter la nouvelle année en mer. La veille, dans mon restaurant du Pescadou, j'avais préparé un repas digne de l'occasion et tout emporté à bord pour réveillonner. Vers vingt-trois heures, après avoir quitté le quai et doublé la passe de l'ouest pour accéder à la pleine mer, nous avons mis en panne, attendant l'heure magique. Aux douze coups de minuit, nous avons, comme il se doit, fêté la nouvelle année, sabré le champagne, dans les embrassades et les éclats de rire. Malgré la distance, nos chants de marins et nos cris de joie devaient retentir jusqu'à la capitainerie. L'année s'est terminée dans un délicieux moment de bonheur, d'insouciance et de gaieté. La nouvelle, pleine d'espoir, était devant nous. Puis, nous avons mis à la voile. C'était à Cherbourg que, douze ans plus tôt, une autre aventure avait commencé. Ce moment seul à la barre était propice à la rêverie. Dans un flash-back, comme dans un livre ouvert, mon esprit s'envola vers mes souvenirs..."LES PAS de JEHAN, c'est l'histoire incroyable d'un adolescent de province qui, après une jeunesse d'errance, est propulsé à quinze ans, dans la tumultueuse vie parisienne. Jeune barman dans les plus beaux quartiers de la capitale, il lorgne à la dérobée les jeunes mannequins légèrement vêtus, lui jetant parfois un regard gourmand. A dix neuf ans, sa rencontre improbable avec un personnage très important changera le cours de sa vie et le fera voyager dans le monde entier. Au cours de ses voyages, il fera la connaissance de son géniteur, et de trois demi-frères et soeur inconnus.D'Alger, à New-York, en passant par Panama, il fera des rencontres encore plus étonnantes. L'escale qui l'a le plus marqué est sûrement celle des Açores..." La soirée de la veille, avec les marins pêcheurs de baleines, avait été une fête d'amitié extraordinaire. Le porto qui avait coulé à flots nous avait embarqués dans des accolades fraternelles. Nous nous sentions du même groupe. Des marins, presque des frères de sang, qui s'étaient rencontrés pour la première et la dernière fois. Quelques larmes avaient même coulé sur des visages burinés et tannés par le sel."Le Foudre transportait du matériel en vue des essais nucléaires de Mururoa."Le navire glissait lentement vers le quai des Pétroles. Il devait se frayer un chemin parmi les colliers de fleurs flottant à la surface du lagon et les praos avec à leur bord les belles Tahitiennes tant rêvées. Une multitude d'embarcations chargées de chanteurs tahitiens, joueurs de ukulélé, de tam-tam et de guitare donnait toute l'ampleur à la fête. Le FOUDRE, lui, avait sorti son grand pavois et en profitait pour faire jouer sa corne de brume à tout va. Arrivés tard la veille au soir, nous avions provisoirement mouillé l'ancre dans le lagon. Le matin, pour le départ vers le port, personne ne manquait à l'appel. L'effervescence était à son comble."Joséphine, la belle tahitienne à fait battre le coeur de Jehan. Une belle histoir

The purpose of this book is for the reader to understand the altered mindset of the woman after the fall and to trace its consequences in relation to her husband and all forms of authority. Eve was made in the perfect environment with the perfect mate. She understood her place as his complement and help mate to rule over nature. However, due to the distortions conjured up by Satan, what was once a beautiful and harmonious role becomes in her mind inferior and debased. Her view of submission turns into subjection, and a complementary role becomes competition. That distorted view of her identity and role continues throughout the ages and is heightened today with the Women's Rights Movement. This and other pressures seek to define us according to the world's system to justify fighting and clamoring for recognition and status.This book exposes the error of such thinking and offers hope for true freedom when we revisit the place of identity and purpose according to God's original intent. This is a penetrating work as the author takes us to find our true identity and security in the Father and fulfill our purpose in Him, dispelling the notion that we must achieve status and independence through our own striving. The author also deals with our male counterpart, who can learn to trust us when we are truly submitted to God's order of authority. The woman can win his affection and respect by appealing to his highest virtues rather than calling attention to her physical attributes and becoming a rival, threatening his position and peace or an object or plaything.The author argues that submission is never to be viewed as inequality and points out how Jesus was equal to God but submitted to the will of the Father in all things (Philippians 2). In the chapter "The Power of Influence," the author shows how a woman can use her influence for good or evil and may resort to manipulation, seduction, and control to gain her objectives. Two negative stereotypes of woman are presented: the seductress and the contentious woman. These stereotypes are offset by "The Virtuous Woman" of Proverbs 31 as the culmination of God's ideal for a woman. The narrative uses ample illustrations from the bible of different categories of women of influence, but in the final chapter, the author specifically highlights women who are considered inferior or downright despised. It shows God's elevation of them by entrusting them with critical revelation.

Fela Bank-Olemoh's Honoured to Serve is a tactfully written memoir about the author's journey in public service during his stint as Special Adviser on Education to the Governor of Lagos State (2015 - 2019). The memoir is Fela's attempt to document history and create quality content in our political space.

The memoir is a public servant's bid to present his experiences, not just as a testament, but as a guide to future generations.Reviews"Having witnessed Fela's passion, intelligence and dedication during the 2015 presidential election campaign, I subsequently recommended him for public service. I have never regretted it. His deep love for his country resonates with me and foregrounds the essence of this compelling memoir. Honoured to Serve is an insightful reflection by one of Nigeria's most dedicated public servants." - Professor Yemi OsinbajoVice President of Nigeria (2015-2023) "Fela's passion for Lagos and Nigeria is palpable. His entry into public service offered him the opportunity to bring his love and ideas for a "working Lagos" and, by extension, Nigeria to bear. Beyond all the feats recorded in this fascinating memoir, I can personally attest that Fela always gave his best in all tasks I assigned to him during his time as my Special Adviser on Education." - Akinwunmi AmbodeGovernor of Lagos State (2015-2019) "Fela's Honoured to Serve is a candid account of his time as Special Adviser on Education to the Governor of Lagos State.

This memoir gives verifiable information on his activities and accompanying challenges. It's definitely a good read!" - Akinyemi AshadeCommissioner of Finance, Lagos State (2015-2019) "As Fela's first boss, I was privileged to mould his nascent managerial abilities. His undeniable commitment and results delivery influenced my decision to promote him almost every year until he resigned to start his own business. In Honoured to Serve, he brings his experiences to bear, offering proven ideas that those aspiring to positions in both private and public administration will find invaluable." - John Obaro Software Entrepreneur & Founder, SystemSpecs
