Every Customer A Fan - The Story...

Jim Penman

This is the story of Jim’s Group, as told by its founder. An account of how a $24 business became one of the world’s largest franchise chains, with over 4,300 Franchisees (and rising). It is an unusually frank and honest account, showing the human weaknesses and mistakes as well as the successes. 
This is a very different guide to business success, drawn not only from Jim’s experience but the lessons he has drawn from contact with thousands of successful (and some less successful) Franchisees and Franchisors. It is a business story that says little or nothing about business plans and corporate structures, but a great deal about character and attitude. And always, about the need to put the customer first.

My Walk With The Lord - Salvation

Jose Maldonado

Growing up in the Bronx, Jose Maldonado thought he had life figured out. Between childhood games and family bonds, everything seemed simple enough. But as he got older, questions started creeping in. Why do people suffer? What's the point of it all? Before long, confusion turned to anger, and anger turned to a desperate search for something real. In ‘My Walk with the Lord,’ Jose takes you through his powerful journey from emptiness to faith. This isn't your typical feel-good spiritual book. It's the real story of a man who hit rock bottom, questioned everything he believed, and found himself in places he never expected to be. From unfulfilling relationships to nights spent in jail, from watching too many funerals to that life-changing moment in Connecticut when everything shifted, Maldonado shows you what it actually looks like to wrestle with doubt, to feel abandoned, and to slowly discover that maybe, just maybe, there’s something bigger than yourself calling your name. This book is dedicated to Jose’s son, his family, and every soul searching for truth. He prays from the depths of his heart that readers will come to know there is something beyond this life. If you take nothing else from this book, let it be this: follow the Lord, build your own relationship with Him, and receive salvation. ‘My Walk with the Lord’ will meet you right where you are and walk with you from there.

Secrets from the Cockpit -...

Robert Shapiro

‘A witty, sometimes heart-stopping, and always engrossing path from “boy pilot” to elite aviator.’ – Jaundiced Eye columnist, William Saunderson-Meyer 
Robert Schapiro always wanted to fly. Challenging anti-Semitic bullying, mockery and fierce rivalry, he realised his dream by earning his wings in the South African Air Force and going on to command C-47 Dakotas in the Border War. 
He joined South African Airways (SAA) in 1979, soon learning it was a time when SAA crews were dominated by the ‘Royal Family’ – captains who thought themselves above the rules and who spent time overseas on drinking binges or coaxing air hostesses to be their ‘airline wives’. 
When sanctions forced SAA to cut back on its routes, he was seconded to Japan’s Nippon Cargo Airlines, routinely flying between New York and Tokyo and grappling with often-hilarious cultural misunderstandings as he adapted to a Japanese style of operations. Schapiro is disarmingly frank about life as an international pilot. He divulges near misses, emergency landings, navigation errors, passenger shenanigans (seat sex, anyone?), how pilots control rowdy travellers and absorbing detail about the technique of flying different aircraft types. 
Uplifting and humorous, his memoir offers a rare slice of aviation history.
