The Lighter Side is a collection of humorous, yet meaningful observations about life and faith, including "Windshield Wiper Wisdom," "The Young and the Waistless, the Old and the Beautiful," and "The Joy of Sox." "With his trademark self-deprecating humor and insights that are at once pastoral and prophetic, Brett Younger's columns are Grady Nutt Meets Dave Barry Meets Zephaniah." -Julie Pennington-Russell, Senior Pastor First Baptist Church, Decatur, GA. "Throughout my life, I have found that the ability to see a bit of humor in even the most difficult of circumstances has been a 'grace gift' that has stood me in good stead. Anne Lamott calls laughter 'carbonated holiness.' I am delighted to have Brett's 'humorously holy' ramblings gathered into one spirit-lifting volume." -Clarissa Stirckland, Networking Specialist, Cooperative Baptist Fellowship "Brett Younger is one the funniest people I know. And, he's a Baptist preacher. Now that's funny." -Bert Montgomery, Author, Teacher, Minister "Brett Younger reminds me of the late, great Grady Nutt. He's a witty humorist who deploys laughter in service of divine insight. Just when you think you're guffawing at his insanely imaginative observations, you realize you're staring straight into God's own truth." -Marv Knox, Editor, Baptist Standard

Download and read online ebook Command Of The Air write by General Giulio Douhet. This book was released on 2014-08-15. Command Of The Air available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In the pantheon of air power spokesmen, Giulio Douhet holds center stage. His writings, more often cited than perhaps actually read, appear as excerpts and aphorisms in the writings of numerous other air power spokesmen, advocates-and critics. Though a highly controversial figure, the very controversy that surrounds him offers to us a testimonial of the value and depth of his work, and the need for airmen today to become familiar with his thought. The progressive development of air power to the point where, today, it is more correct to refer to aerospace power has not outdated the notions of Douhet in the slightest In fact, in many ways, the kinds of technological capabilities that we enjoy as a global air power provider attest to the breadth of his vision. Douhet, together with Hugh “Boom” Trenchard of Great Britain and William “Billy” Mitchell of the United States, is justly recognized as one of the three great spokesmen of the early air power era. This reprint is offered in the spirit of continuing the dialogue that Douhet himself so perceptively began with the first edition of this book, published in 1921. Readers may well find much that they disagree with in this book, but also much that is of enduring value. The vital necessity of Douhet’s central vision-that command of the air is all important in modern warfare-has been proven throughout the history of wars in this century, from the fighting over the Somme to the air war over Kuwait and Iraq.

O'Rourke. This book was released on 2007-12-01. Give War a Chance available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The #1 New York Times bestseller from “one of America’s most hilarious and provocative writers . . . a volatile brew of one-liners and vitriol” (Time). Renowned for his cranky conservative humor, P. J. O’Rourke runs hilariously amok in this book, tackling the death of communism; his frustration with sanctimonious liberals; and Saddam Hussein in a series of classic dispatches from his coverage of the 1991 Gulf War. On Kuwait City after the war, he comments, “It looked like all the worst rock bands in the world had stayed there at the same time.” On Saddam Hussein, O’Rourke muses: “He’s got chemical weapons filled with . . . with . . . chemicals. Maybe he’s got The Bomb. And missiles that can reach Riyadh, Tel Aviv, Spokane. Stock up on nonperishable foodstuffs. Grab those Diet Coke cans you were supposed to take to the recycling center and fill them with home heating oil. Bury the Hummel figurines in the yard. We’re all going to die. Details at eleven.” And on the plague of celebrity culture, he notes: “You can’t shame or humiliate modern celebrities. What used to be called shame and humiliation is now called publicity.” Mordant and utterly irreverent, this is a modern classic from one of our great political satirists, described by Christopher Buckley as being “like S. J. Perelman on acid.” “Mocking on the surface but serious beneath . . . When it comes to scouting the world for world-class absurdities, O’Rourke is the right man for the job.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review “The funniest writer in America.” —The Wall Street Journal
