Summary

By delving into the lives and backgrounds of an entire network of avid supporters, We are Hibernian explores how people become so involved in football, and is it the binding of tradition, memories and experiences off the pitch that make them believe their first choice was the right one? There are stories here from men and women who were taken to the football grounds as youngsters and now take their own kids, showing how the religion that is football can be passed down from one generation to the next, providing entertainment and family folklore for years to come. Essentially this book is not just about football, but about the stories that surround it!

    “Peter Liu has actively contributed to identifying new talents and promoting cutting-edge innovations…I am confident that this book will be a sound source of inspiration for many…and that they will be driven by the same spirit of progress and generosity.” 
    Albert II, Prince of Monaco 
    Venture capitalist, global citizen, pioneer. 
    From a military dependents’ village in central Taiwan to the snow-capped peaks of Switzerland for the World Economic Forum and beyond. This is a story of success, fearless innovation, and vision. 
    Based on interviews with Peter’s friends, colleagues, family, and Peter himself, Beyond takes us on a tour of Peter’s journey, from his role in the Taiwan Economic Miracle and his founding of leading venture capital firm WI Harper, to his bridging of the Greater China Region with the US and later involvement in the development of nuclear fusion technology. All for future generations, for Taiwan, for the world. 
    In this authorized biography of one of Taiwan’s most influential venture capitalists, we are offered a complete picture of the bold, charismatic, warm-hearted, and down-to-earth man behind the success – a man equally at home in the back of a taxi on a dusty road in China as dining with sparkling company on the French Riviera. 
    Prepare to meet visionary businessman Peter Liu and discover his life and legacy in venture capital and beyond… 
      
    “It’s not easy to find a friend like Peter, with his experience, wisdom and balanced thinking. I am thankful for the moment that I met him. It has significant added value to know someone like Peter. His vision and plans are very productive.” 
    Turki Almadi, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the People's Republic of China

    In Part One Powdrill describes his experiences in France during ‘the Phoney War and then their baptism by fire in May 1940, culminating in the evacuation from Dunkirk having left their disabled guns behind. Ernest was wounded but many of his colleagues were killed by ferocious German counter-battery fire. Part 2 tells a very different story in more detail. By now a Sergeant Major in an armoured tracked regiment, the author fought through from the Normandy beaches to the River Maas. He describes the near constant action in graphic terms. In the Face of the Enemy is a splendid soldiers story full of understatement and atmosphere. Success is tinged with sadness for lost comrades and admiration for his fellow men.

  • Courageous Women of the Bible - 30 timeless lessons on faith courage wisdom and devotion - cover

    Courageous Women of the Bible -...

    The Bible often remembers and celebrates the names of great men of God. People like Abraham, Moses, David, Paul, Isaiah, and Elijah are well-known for their important roles in the story of God's people. These men are honored for their faith, leadership, and the key parts they played in God's plan. 
    However, as we delve into the Scriptures, we often overlook the equally significant contributions of women of God. The Bible, while rich with the stories of these men, also holds accounts of extraordinary women whose strength, wisdom, and faithfulness were crucial to the unfolding of God's narrative. For instance, Sarah's faith in God's promise of a son, Ruth's loyalty to her mother-in-law, and Mary's acceptance of her role in God's plan. Yet, these women often remain in the background, their stories less frequently told, their virtues less regularly celebrated. 
    This book is a necessary contribution to Christian literature, as it celebrates the strength and wisdom of prominent women in the Bible. In the pages you are about to read, you will get a glimpse into the lives of these extraordinary women. Their faith and actions were significant and played pivotal roles in shaping the Biblical narrative. The book is organized chronologically, starting with the Old Testament and moving through to the New Testament, to provide a comprehensive view of these women's contributions. 
    This book celebrates these 30 women, each embodying unique qualities and virtues that can guide and inspire us in our modern lives. Their stories offer timeless lessons on resilience, faith, leadership, and profound love, demonstrating that the challenges and virtues they faced are just as relevant and applicable in our lives today. Whether it is Hannah's unwavering faith, Abigail's strategic wisdom, or Ruth's selfless loyalty, these women provide powerful examples of how to live with purpose and integrity in our contemporary world.
