A Tiger among Us

A Story of Valor in Vietnam's A Shau Valley

By: Bennie G. Adkins,Katie Lamar Jackson

Foreword by Chuck Hagel, former Secretary of Defense and Senator from Nebraska Adaptable. Cunning. Ferocious. Fearless. The Indochinese tiger is just one of the formidable predators roaming Vietnam's jungle. In 1966 a small band of US Special Forces soldiers--most especially Bennie Adkins--spent four grueling days facing down the "tiger" among them. While the rain and mist of an early March moved over the valley, then-Sergeant First Class Bennie Adkins and sixteen other Green Berets found themselves holed up in an undermanned and unfortified position at Camp A Shau, a small training and reconnaissance camp located right next to the infamous Ho Chi Minh Trail, North Vietnam's major supply route. And with the rain came the North Vietnamese Army in force. Surrounded 10-to-1, the Green Berets endured constant mortar and rifle fire, direct assaults, treasonous allies, and volatile jungle weather. But there was one among them who battled ferociously, like a tiger, and when they finally evacuated, he carried the wounded to safety. Forty-eight years later, Command Sergeant Major Bennie Adkins's valor was recognized when he received this nation's highest military award, the Medal of Honor. Filled with the sights, smells, and sounds of a raging battle fought in the middle of a tropical forest, A Tiger among Us is a riveting tale of bravery, valor, skill, and resilience.

The Great Chicago Fire Of 1871

By: Paul Bennie

What really happened in Mrs. O'Leary's barn that autumn night in Chicago? Though no one knows for sure, what is certain is someone, or something, ignited a load of hay on fire, and the city of Chicago would never be the same. The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 raged for more than 24 hours, obliterating the downtown and sparking a mass exodus to the prairies and lake. The flames grew so hot that they melted iron and marble, and the twisting winds tore the roofs off houses. The individual stories of courage and tragedy, recounted by survivors who fought for their lives, captivated a nation and elicited an outpouring of aid. The stricken city would rise again, but its tale of near extinction would remain one of America's most defining legends.

The Value of Wellness in the Workplace

A Perspective of the Employee-Organisation Relationship in the South African Labour Market

By: Bennie Linde

This book examines the links between employee-organisation relationships, work wellness and the impact thereof on the labour market from a South African perspective. By employing this focus, the book explains the role of the employment relationship and the psychological contract in improving work wellness. To do so, it reviews the establishment and management of contracts in the context of labour relations at South African organisations. The studies presented focus on a range of topics, from individual wellness, the employment relationship and psychological contract, to relational wellness, the broader labour approach, and industrial action. The book presents a structural framework from an individual and labour relational perspective that links the employee-organisation relationship with wellness and its economic value, making it of interest to general and financial managers seeking to better grasp the link between work wellness and its financial implications.

Understanding Political Participation

Green Party Membership in Scotland

By: Lynn Bennie

Developing a framework of analysis which enables a detailed empirical investigation of Scottish Green Party membership, this is a detailed assessment of why people become members of a green party. The questions are particularly relevant in the light of declining political participation. Lynn Bennie responds to the gap in the literature on green and small parties and builds on the work of other researchers who have used similar methods to explore membership of the larger parties. The volume incorporates an extensive review of participation literature; details the history of the Scottish Green Party; documents extensive survey data of party members; and develops an understanding of motivations behind membership of a green party. It will prove ideal for courses on political behaviour and green politics, and be of interest to sociologists and political science researchers.

Penetrating God's World with the Gospel of Christ

Why Do Many of the Most Popular Clergy (Evangelicals, Catholics, Fundamentalists, Charismatics, Denominational Ministers, and Others) Distort, Detach, or Delete the Gospel?

By: Bennie Simmons,

This book is dealing with subjects that are seldom discussed but are needed for the church to grow in number. Discipleship is important, but first we must lead the person to Christ with the right message. That message is found in the book of Acts. The essence of the Gospel was and is today in three parts: One is the person of Christ found in the four Gospels. Two is the death of Christ again found in the four Gospels. And thirdly is the resurrection of Christ. Number three being the most neglected part of the Gospel presentation. If we follow the messages by Paul and Peter in the book of Acts, we will see that all three elements are included. We discuss how Satan has tricked and fooled us by his slick presentation as concerning the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We teach how one person can lead many to Christ before we stand at the judgement seat of Christ. This book will change you!

Aboriginal Sports Coaches, Community, and Culture

By: Demelza Marlin,Nicholas Apoifis,Andrew Bennie

This book is the first to celebrate the stories of this group of Aboriginal mentors and leaders and present them in a form that is accessible to both academic and general audiences. In this book, Aboriginal sport coaches from all over Australia share stories about their involvement in sport and community, offering insight into the diverse experiences of Aboriginal people in settler colonial Australia. This collection amplifies the public voice of Aboriginal coaches who are transforming the social, cultural, and political lives of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people. These stories have been overlooked in public discussion about sport and indigeneity. Frank and often funny, these intimate narratives provide insight into the unique experiences and attitudes of this group of coaches. This book deepens our understanding of the shared and contested history of Aboriginal peoples’ engagement with sport in Australia.

Nineteenth Century Freedom Fighters:

The 1st South Carolina Volunteers

By: Bennie J. McRae Jr.

The 1st South Carolina Volunteers, later the 33rd United States Colored Troops, were the first black unit of the Civil War. Preceding the famous 54th Massachusetts--seen in the film Glory--by one year, these South Carolina slaves turned soldiers were noted for their courage, discipline, and pride, continuing to serve the Union cause even while temporarily disbanded. They fought for years with little or no pay, poor equipment, and constant pressure and abuse from both North and South. This brief history is told mostly through the letters and journals of their commanding officer Lt. Col. Charles T. Trowbridge.

My Song is My Testimony

Autobiography of Bennie Lucille Williams As Told to Jacquelyn Benton

By: Bennie Lucille Williams,Jacquelyn Benton

“I see that as such a powerful testimony, since you’re not just singing a song but also telling a story, and it’s your own story.” Bennie Lucille Williams was born in Marshall, Texas—a city split not into two, she would argue, but into three. First, of course, there was racial segregation, but growing up with dark skin Bennie saw a second split within her own black community: a split between those who were lighter-skinned and those who looked like Bennie. There, sitting at the feet of former slaves, Bennie learned the songs that would carry her through her life. “Dem songs,” is what the woman she knew as Aunt Clay called spirituals they sang to her, and those songs would first carry her into music and then into teaching. Bennie recalls working with black, white, and later desegregated church choirs, teaching school choirs with forced busing mandates, and directing public performances. Woven into those stories are the loves and heartbreaks of a vivid and compassionate woman’s life—bittersweet at times, but never half-hearted. Bennie’s love for her music and for her students touched lives from Marshall to Dallas to Denver. Later, when she lay at home with a Do Not Resuscitate sign on her front door, she received calls from former students whose lives she had touched decades before, returning to her the love she had always given them.

Praying with Purpose (eBook)

By: Bennie Mostert

Most people realize the importance of prayer in their lives. We also know that Jesus prayed regularly during His earthly ministry. But how can we pray effective prayers? How can our prayers become practical? PRAYING WITH PURPOSE is a “prayer school” or practical guide focused on directing readers in purposeful and practical prayers. In PRAYING WITH PURPOSE 30% of the content is theory, and 70% is based on exercising practical praying. The author discusses 40 topics to help readers to pray Scripture step by step. Each topic is supported by Scripture verses paraphrased as prayers that can be used as guidelines. At the end of the book a study guide will help readers assess their progress as they work through the topics. PRAYING WITH PURPOSE is a practical guide that shows Christians how to use Scripture in their prayer time with God.
