Esta does not give much thought to taking the young owlet home. She can raise it; of that she is sure. The people of her village, on the other hand, find that this confirms what they always thought. The strange girl who seems able to understand what others are thinking and feeling can also tame the wild. The daughter of the local midwife and healer, Esta is seen as something special and perhaps other. It is concluded that she must be a creature of the night, shrouded in whispers of superstition, witchcraft, and magic. Rumors swell to the point of peril, and for Esta, to the point of pain. Tragedy befalls her village with the arrival of outsiders who search for “the seer,” but no one knows to what end. Yes, Esta has been gifted with abilities she has tried hiding from others. Now that her secret is out, she is determined to follow her own fate, on her own terms, deriving power from compassion and insight rather than physical strength alone.

No matter what format your business may take, sole proprietor, partnership, corporation, etc., there are three ships that you must become intimately familiar with; leadership, followership, and relationship. The 3-Ship of Success is a powerful message on the importance of each ship individually and collectively, and provided positive, succinct insight on how to navigate the waters of business on each ship in order to be successful. You will gain a new understanding of what the expectations of a leader truly are, the true importance of the follower and why care must be given in the selection & training of the follower, and the make & break activities of the all important relationship. As a retired senior naval officer, I know a little something about ships. The analogies Mac draws with the 3-Ships are some of the most practical and powerful you will come across. No matter what your level of business, you need this book! No nonsense, to the point, sometimes humorous, but always in your face, this book is an instant winner! Richard McNeil, Financial Strategist During the reading of Macs book I discovered that he did not try to introduce any new theory that readers had to experience. He simply laid out a path for anyone to follow to be successful. His information is sound, and it paints a picture for all viewers to see a straight, no thrills, no catch praise, no magic bullet scene. I encourage you to gain knowledge from this short, powerful, and clearly expressed writing. PhD Larry D. Palmer, Sr., Bishop, Israel Total Life Ministries When I first heard Mack describes his concept of the 3-Ships I was amazed at the simplicity of the way it was presented. I immediately realized the ease of application especially in a training environment for business leaders. This one is a winner! Al Collins Senior Corporate Trainer
