From the best-selling author of Black Hawk Down comes a riveting, definitive chronicle of the Iran hostage crisis, America's first battle with militant Islam. On November 4, 1979, a group of radical Islamist students, inspired by the revolutionary Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini, stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran. They took fifty-two Americans hostage, and kept nearly all of them hostage for 444 days. In Guests of the Ayatollah, Mark Bowden tells this sweeping story through the eyes of the hostages, the soldiers in a new special forces unit sent to free them, their radical, na ve captors, and the diplomats working to end the crisis. Bowden takes us inside the hostages' cells and inside the Oval Office for meetings with President Carter and his exhausted team. We travel to international capitals where shadowy figures held clandestine negotiations, and to the deserts of Iran, where a courageous, desperate attempt to rescue the hostages exploded into tragic failure. Bowden dedicated five years to this research, including numerous trips to Iran and countless interviews with those involved on both sides. Guests of the Ayatollah is a detailed, brilliantly re-created, and suspenseful account of a crisis that gripped and ultimately changed the world.Binding Type: Paperback

Living In A Crazy World
Format: Paperback
It does seem our world has gone crazy, especially for those of us who grew up in the 1970s and 80s. Of course, this is all expected but Bible prophecy. This book deals with how we as Christians should be during this times and watch for deception in the church. Seeking discernment and restoring folks to the truth.
Renner does a good job of breaking down bible verses in the context of the Greek meaning of words. This study as it seems is a good accompaniment to bible study.
The only downside would be the repetitiveness, especially at the beginning, but can see how saying the same or similar thing over and over is to drive home a point.

Another Classic
Format: Kindle
I love Rick Renner’s book, and this one doesn’t disappoint. We definitely need a revival of the Bible in our country, or homes and families, and the church.
But we are reminded in this book that we are not just called to shake our heads in wonder, but are called to play a part in reversing the works of the enemy.

God's love for us & His power to help us & help others!
Format: Kindle
Must read for all Christians. We must be more aware of what Satan is doing in our world everyday. We must draw strength from our God to ward off Satan's attempts to change our Christian values in these, the last days. Pray for strength and guidance! Scripture references support his text.
