For hundreds of years men have attempted to breed the perfect racehorse, the one that will be outstandingly greater than all the others of its generation. This book, with Julian Wilson's personal selection of the greatest racehorses ever, is a chronicle of a number of those men's successful achievements; of the one horse in 10,000 that stands head and shoulders above the field. With profiles of Desert Orchid, Cigar, Shergar and Lammtarra amongst many others, every entry also includes the blood-lines of the horse. THE GREAT RACEHORSES is a tribute to the truly great racehorses of the past 200 years, from Eclipse to Dancing Brave on the flat, from Manifesto to Dawn Run under National Hunt rules. Some were bred by a genius who devoted a lifetime to the pursuit whilst others were bred completely by chance. Julian Wilson has not attempted an 'order of merit'; such a task would be impossible, as each horse has its own special story of triumph, tragedy and pathos. The true hero - or heroine - of each story is not the owner, the breeder, the trainer; it is that glorious sporting creature, the racehorse.

Management & Leadership

Independently published

This is the remarkable story of how a company was transformed from a failing business to a highly successful enterprise by making brave and radical changes to the way the employees work. It tracks a ten year journey from a conventional organisation with management controls and centralised overhead functions, to a self-leading organisational model where every individual in the company runs a complete virtual business. The result is a highly productive work environment with improved profits, increased product quality, less waste, more agility, greater liquidity and high staff engagement.The two owners of the company took advice from consultants and tried all the conventional ‘Lean’ & 'Agile ' solutions, only to find that they were superficial and made temporary improvements at best. So they used their design skills to fundamentally restructure the business. They stopped telling people what their job was and started to tell them what results were expected. This success story shows up the inefficiencies of conventional hierarchical and departmentalised organisations and the clear benefits of having individuals take responsibility for all business processes to deliver an outcome. Unlike companies that have layers of management, decisions are made by the people that will have to implement them. The result is a form of ‘responsible autonomy’ which is both challenging and rewarding for the individuals involved. But it takes bold leadership for the directors of a business to throw away the rule book and introduce a new model of work and it takes a multi-skilled workforce to implement it. This book provides a thought-provoking insight into the future of work. It challenges the role of conventional management and centralised support functions. It shows that organisations can operate successfully without the huge cost and burden of bureaucracy. It’s an example of self-leadership that cannot be ignored.

Julian Wilson provides one of the most comprehensive accounts of the life of Smith Wigglesworth to date. Few individuals have made such an impact on the world for the gospel as the Yorkshire-born plumber turned evangelist Smith Wigglesworth. Although he died in 1947, he is, arguably, more well-known now than when he was alive. He founded no movement, authored no books, had no official disciples, and no doctrine or theological college bears his name, but through his audacious faith and spectacular healing ministry, Wigglesworth fanned the flames of revival in many countries throughout the world. Thousands came to know Jesus Christ as their Saviour, received divine healing and were delivered from demonic oppression and possession as a result of his ministry.

The Wesleys: Two men Who Changed the World (Classic Authentic Lives Series)

This is a biography of Eric Liddell, the world record holder of the 400 metres in the 1920s who made headlines by refusing to race on a Sunday. He made a switch from 100 metres to 400 metres, and triumphed. Liddell brought the same singleness of purpose to his faith as to his running. This book recounts his career as evangelist and missionary in China, his unassuming and selfless character, and his delight in practical jokes. It draws upon interviews with Liddell's surviving family and friends, and also upon material from contemporary magazines and letters. Liddell died of a brain tumour in 1945 in a Japanese internment camp.

In the two thousand years since the birth of Christianity, few individuals have made such an impact on the world for the Gospel as the Yorkshire-born plumber turned evangelist, Smith Wigglesworth. Multitudes were saved worldwide as he ministered, and miracles of healing and deliverance occurred that have rarely been witnessed since the days of the apostles. As Barry Chant has commented: ‘It can safely be said that no one has ever had a ministry quite like his.’ Numerous volumes of his sermons and teachings, as well as a number of accounts of his life have been published and the interest in Wigglesworth continues to grow. He founded no movement, authored no books (although several were published in his name), had no official disciples, and no doctrine or theological college bears his name, but through his audacious faith and spectacular healing ministry, Wigglesworth fanned the flames of revival in countries throughout the world. Thousands came to know Jesus Christ as their Saviour, received divine healing and were delivered from demonic oppression and possession as a result of his ministry. In this new paperback version of the bestselling biography, author Julian Wilson gives a detailed and frank account of Smith Wigglesworth's life.
