Steve Williams, arguably the greatest caddie in golf history, teams up with renowned golf journalist Evin Priest to give his definitive account of his 12-year partnership with the legendary Tiger Woods, sharing personal, never-before-told moments of their friendship on and off the course. When Tiger Woods went on an extraordinary majors run between 1999 and 2008, one man stood at his side: his caddie Steve Williams. Together Steve and Tiger dominated the PGA Tour and won an astonishing 13 major championships, their sights set on breaking Jack Nicklaus's record 18 majors. Before they could overtake Nicklaus, however, their partnership ended abruptly, and a 12-year period without talking began. Years later, the two reconnected. Steve, with PGA Tour journalist Evin Priest, reflects fondly on his years as Tiger's caddie and their relentless pursuit of greatness. He revisits all their best moments, from Tiger's iconic shot on the 16th hole at the 2005 Masters to the famed Tiger Slam of 2000 and 2001, to his against-the-odds victory on a broken leg at the 2008 US Open. Steve goes behind the scenes of their on-course success and shows their friendship off the course, like Tiger caddying for Steve on his wedding day and Tiger giving a heartfelt best man speech. Steve also shares fascinating, never-before-seen photos and ephemera. Dawn Thirty offers an inside look at what it is like to ride alongside greatness and is a heartfelt ode to the friendship that produced one of the winningest duos in golf history.

Richard III is perhaps the most well-known King of England. Many books have been written about Richard over the 500 plus years since he was crowned King. This book is based upon a review of all available sources. Richard has been judged good, bad, evil even. Opinions have changed through the years. History has been written, rewritten and revisited so many times. Many questions have been asked and many answers given. Yet there is no certainty. Much is still unclear. The passage of time clouds the picture. New theories are put forward and old ones updated. Fresh research is conducted. Conclusive proof remains lacking. Richard is born on 2nd October 1452 to Richard the 3rd Duke of York and Cecily Neville. He is of royal blood and is descended from Edward III. As the youngest of four sons surviving past infancy, he is more likely to be destined for the church. Yet he becomes King. Richard's father and a brother are killed. His eldest brother Edward seizes the throne. Twice he flees England for his life. His mentor and uncle Warwick dies fighting against him on the battlefield. Another brother rebels and is executed for treason. The unexpected early death of his brother King Edward IV results in him being appointed Protector to his nephew Edward V. Richard is crowned King himself yet within two years he loses his wife and son and is killed on the battlefield at Bosworth. Richard experiences the wheel of fortune like few others. His life is but a roller coaster of emotions. Events cannot fail to influence and shape Richard. Medieval life is harsh and brutal. Richard is a man of his time.
Missionary, preacher, author, and friend of the Jewish people was William Eugene Blackstone. He introduced, what we now know as the Blackstone Memorial, to President Benjamin Harrison in 1891, on behalf of the Jews in Russia and the Balkans. His Memorial was years ahead of the writings of the great Hebrew leader, Theodor Herzel. Blackstone's efforts for the Jews to resettle Israel, came before the political Zionist movement. He wrote the best-selling book, Jesus is Coming, in 1878 being reissued many times. His ministry spanned the globe and his influence felt world-wide, from the late 1870's through the late 1920's. Although never in politics, Mr. Blackstone had contact with four Presidents, four Secretaries of State. Milton Stewart majority owner of the Union (76) Oil Company, was a friend of W.E.B... Business leaders of the day John D. Rockefeller, J. Pierpont Morgan, George M. Pullman, and Cornelius Vanderbilt signed their names on the Memorial. W. E. Blackstone was friends with R. A. Torrey, T. C. Horton, A. T. Pierson, A. B. Simpson, and many other well-known ministers of that era. You will read of his high points, his ebbs, the joy and the grief, his love, his passion, his hurts, his loss, and his great gains. Written from the Christian viewpoint, this biography of Rev. Blackstone explores the 19th century, and his place in Church History.
