The Kingmaker S Women

In every area of society, some women stand out from the crowd. Wellington Boone calls them Kingmakers. They're the women that people remember. They're the women that people should listen to. They're the wives, mothers, teachers, and managers who helped others become what they are today. You don't see the mom behind a person who becomes great, but she's a Kingmaker, whether you see her or not. She's under-acknowledged and under-appreciated, but she's a Kingmaker just the same. A Kingmaker has the power of influence over another person's life and the ability from God to make that person great.Wellington Boone calls his wife Katheryn the Kingmaker who inspired his book Women Are Kingmakers! They have been married for 45 years. He honors his wife as his Kingmaker, but how does she rate him as a husband?Let's look back to an event in 1996 when Wellington Boone was a leading speaker for the explosive Christian men's organization called Promise Keepers that was filling football stadiums with enthusiastic men and a pastor developing leaders who were men and women of character.At a Promise Keepers event in Chicago that year, his topic was "Going All Out for Your Wife" and he was on a roll. Men cheered as he told them how to become more like Christ to their wives. Then he stopped and called his wife Katheryn to come from backstage. As the Windy City blew everything off his podium, he asked her to tell the men what she had said to him the night before at their hotel. Katheryn Boone had already been his wife for 23 years, so few things he did could surprise her, but this time 80,000 men were watching as she walked across the stage to respond to him. She said. "My husband came back to the hotel last night. I didn't come to the evening meeting so I didn't know anything that was going on and he asked me a question. He said, "Hon, how would you rate me, from one to ten?" He didn't prep me or anything. I really thought about this thing and I didn't answer him right away, I just want you to know, but I told him from one to ten, I rate him an eleven."They still have the same success teaching men and women truths that make marriages last!BISHOP BOONE has been a respected Christian ministry leader and pioneer in reconciliation for more than 45 years.

Warwick the Kingmaker, the Earl of Warwick & Salisbury whose wealth and power was so great that he could effectively decide who would rule England during the Wars of the Roses (1455-1487), had six sisters: Joan, Cecily, Alice, Eleanor, Katherine and Margaret. They all married powerful noblemen who fought on opposing sides during this turbulent period. The Kingmaker's Sisters examines the role that they played in late fifteenth-century England, as wives, mothers and homemakers, but also as deputies for their absent husbands, and how the struggle between the Yorkists and the Lancastrians affected them and their families. Scholarly but accessible, this is the first history of the Wars of the Roses to be written from this perspective, and will appeal to general readers, historians of the period and those with an interest in feminist history.

Presents a tale inspired by the daughters of "Kingmaker" Richard, fifteenth-century Earl of Warwick, who uses his daughters as political pawns before their strategic marriages place them on opposing sides in a royal war that will cost them everyone they love.

From beloved, RITA-award-winning author Kennedy Ryan comes the gripping, passionate finale of the All the King's Men duology. Though surrender is what Maxim Cade demanded of Lennix Hunter's body and heart, she had other plans. They were fast-burning fascination and combustible chemistry, the son of an oil baron and the Apache daughter at war with his family, but she trusted him, and he turned out to be a thief who stole her love. Still, if what they had was a lie, why had it felt so real? Now, the man she swore to hate is about to have it all, and he wants Lennix at his side. But when the two of them are forced to face the unthinkable, their rocky foundation is tested, as is the invisible thread that seems to wind their fates together. As they navigate a treacherous political landscape in their quest for justice, Maxim and Lennix soon learn that power is a game, and they are merely the pawns and players. Facing insurmountable odds, will they win the world, or will they lose it all?

A brilliant narrative history tracing today’s troubles back to the grandiose imperial overreach of Great Britain and the United States. Kingmakers is the gripping story of how the modern Middle East came to be, as told through the lives of the Britons and Americans who shaped it. Some are famous (Lawrence of Arabia and Gertrude Bell); others infamous (Harry St. John Philby, father of Kim); some forgotten (Sir Mark Sykes, Israel’s godfather, and A. T. Wilson, the territorial creator of Iraq). All helped enthrone rulers in a region whose very name is an Anglo-American invention. The aim of this engrossing character-driven narrative is to restore to life the colorful figures who gave us the Middle East in which Americans are enmeshed today.
