The year is 1812. Fourteen-year-old Henri Carle has heard about Napoleon’s great victories his whole life. France rules the continent of Europe and the name Napoleon strikes fear in the hearts of those that face him. When France prepares to march to Russia with 500,000 men, young Henri has no idea that the army he has attached himself to will be reduced to a beaten rabble of barely 20,000 within six months. During the buildup and the ill-fated Russian campaign, Henri goes from a shy boy who is unprepared for life on his own to a confident, courageous soldier. As he is maturing and becoming a man, the army is disintegrating around him. They face seemingly insurmountable obstacles in a desperate struggle to reach home. Utilizing actual incidents and events from the invasion and disastrous 500-mile retreat, this fictional account, as seen through Henri’s eyes, brings a crucial turning point in history to life. Praise for Russian Snows: Coming of Age in Napoleon’s Army: “[Russian Snows] brings a humanizing perspective to Napoleon’s failed invasion of Russia. The characters, especially Henri, really make this story.” Publishers Weekly “This is a terrific story. Henri has an adventurous spirit and endures so much. I can certainly recommend this book!” Paul Trainor, aged 15 “The imagery is well-conceived and the degree of suspense and anxiety as seen through the eyes of [Henri] vivid. Young readers will be engaged by this story and learn about the troubles of war in a compelling, personal way.” Alan Preston, Leadership Coach “The author’s details of sight, sound, and smell bring pictures to life. We hear swords being sheathed, smell fresh bread still warm from the oven, and see the bright colors of military uniforms.” Lizzie Ross, Author

In succinct and entertaining fashion, Scott Armstrong guides you through the joys and challenges of birthing a new church. Active Duty grabs your attention from the opening chapter, and does not let go until YOU are ready to plant a church at Hell's gate! The author's belief that church planting is the most effective method of kingdom growth is contagious. Along with motivation, you will find practical wisdom suitable for highlighting and note taking. The reader will discover numerous resources, lessons learned, and recommendations for anyone starting a church, or those desiring to grow a small church. The transparent look into the hardships church planters face will be a source of strength to those in similar spiritual battles. For those who pastor established works, Active Duty issues the challenge to plant new churches in neighboring unchurched or under churched areas. This can be done effectively as established churches become "sending" churches. This book destroys the myth that church planters must have super powers and unlimited resources. The Armstrong story proves that ordinary God-called people can do extraordinary things. Active Duty is a church planting adventure!

The focus of this book is the large-scale statistical behavior of solutions of divergence-form elliptic equations with random coefficients, which is closely related to the long-time asymptotics of reversible diffusions in random media and other basic models of statistical physics. Of particular interest is the quantification of the rate at which solutions converge to those of the limiting, homogenized equation in the regime of large scale separation, and the description of their fluctuations around this limit. This self-contained presentation gives a complete account of the essential ideas and fundamental results of this new theory of quantitative stochastic homogenization, including the latest research on the topic, and is supplemented with many new results. The book serves as an introduction to the subject for advanced graduate students and researchers working in partial differential equations, statistical physics, probability and related fields, as well as a comprehensive reference for experts in homogenization. Being the first text concerned primarily with stochastic (as opposed to periodic) homogenization and which focuses on quantitative results, its perspective and approach are entirely different from other books in the literature.
