Why is evangelism so important? Christ Himself states in Matthew 28:Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. (Matt. 28:19-20 NKJV)Amen. And in Matthew 9:Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." We must prepare workers so the Lord can send them out. (Matt. 9:37-38 NKJV)

In 1964, Northern Dancer won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes, the first two legs of the US Triple Crown, exploding the myth that Canadian-bred horses could not compete on the world stage. The little horse from Ontario's Windfields Farm went on to change the face of international racing through his sons and daughters, a testament to the foresight of his owner and breeder, Canadian businessman E.P. Taylor. But there is more to the Windfields Farm story than Northern Dancer, and Colin Nolte and Michael Armstrong have written a tribute to the continuing legacy of E.P. Taylor and Windfields.Northern Dancer's sire and dam produced other horses who made their mark on the track or in the breeding shed, and there were numerous other stallions and broodmares at Windfields whose names appear in the pedigrees of today's stakes winners and top stallions. Previous books have focused on specific Windfields horses or families, but this one shows the global extent of Windfields' impact on horse racing, with leading racers and sires in Japan, Australia, South Africa, and South America, as well as Europe and North America.The importance of E.P. Taylor to racing in Ontario, and throughout Canada, in the 20th century is also highlighted. Taylor brought his business acumen to the Ontario racing industry in the 1940s and 1950s, consolidating tracks and creating a showpiece at Woodbine that forty years later became the only track outside the United States to host the Breeders' Cup, horse racing's annual festival of champions. Through the 1960s, Taylor offered a large proportion of his yearling crop for sale, spreading the Windfields bloodlines, and stakes winners, throughout the country and the world. He stood stallions in Ontario and Maryland, making them available to breeders from across North America and overseas.Detailed chapters and charts on the foundation mares and their descendants, as well as chapters on Northern Dancer, the impact of his parents and sons, and behind-the-scenes employees who made it all happen reveal the full story of the Windfields legacy in international horse racing.

The world of the Friday Boy: an Asian secret. "I don't have what it takes to be a Friday Boy." "There are different reasons men come to work for me." "What do you mean?" "It is not always about money. Even Nick. I think he came here for..." She stopped herself. Vesper decided it wasn't the right time to mention her thoughts on Nick. "Cale, I have only ever asked one other Western man to work for me." "Nick told me that." "I hope you take it as a compliment." "I do, but I wouldn't even know how to start to take money from a woman for sex." Cale took a sip of his whiskey. "I'll show you how." Vesper moved closer. Her voice was lowered, "I'll pay you fifty thousand NT an hour, over thirteen hundred U.S. dollars, for your time. I've already booked a suite." Vesper looked at him like she had just suggested tea for two. She was offering a fortune. He found himself asking, "You're testing me out?" "No. You are testing me out." Spanning continents and cultures, with steamy liaisons punctuated by moments of intense fraternal friendship, Friday Boys is a story of redemption set in a secretive world of lust and money.

In fifty years of prosecuting and defending criminal cases in New York City and elsewhere,Michael F. Armstrong has often dealt with cops. For a single two-year span, as chief counsel to the Knapp Commission, he was charged with investigating them. Based on Armstrong's vivid recollections of this watershed moment in law enforcement accountability-prompted by the New York Times's report on whistleblower cop Frank Serpico-They Wished They Were Honest recreates the dramatic struggles and significance of the Commission and explores the factors that led to its success and the restoration of the NYPD's public image.Serpico's charges against the NYPD encouraged Mayor John Lindsay to appoint prominent attorney Whitman Knapp to chair a Citizen's Commission on police graft. Overcoming a number of organizational, budgetary, and political hurdles, Chief Counsel Armstrong cobbled together an investigative group of a half-dozen lawyers and a dozen agents. Just when funding was about to run out, the "e;blue wall of silence"e; collapsed. A flamboyant "e;Madame,"e; a corrupt lawyer, and a weasely informant led to a "e;super thief"e; cop, who was trapped and "e;turned"e; by the Commission. This led to sensational and revelatory hearings, which publicly refuted the notion that departmental corruption was limited to only a "e;few rotten apples."e;In the course of his narrative, Armstrong illuminates police investigative strategy; governmental and departmental political maneuvering; ethical and philosophical issues in law enforcement; the efficacy (or lack thereof) of the police's anticorruption efforts; the effectiveness of the training of police officers; the psychological and emotional pressures that lead to corruption; and the effects of police criminality on individuals and society. He concludes with the effects, in today's world, of Knapp and succeeding investigations into police corruption and the value of permanent outside monitoring bodies, such as the special prosecutor's office, formed in response to the Commission's recommendation, as well as the current monitoring commission, of which Armstrong is chairman.
