NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - SELECTED BY THE ECONOMIST AS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR "A rambunctious book that is itself alive with the animal spirits of the marketplace."--The Wall Street Journal Freedom's Forge reveals how two extraordinary American businessmen--General Motors automobile magnate William "Big Bill" Knudsen and shipbuilder Henry J. Kaiser--helped corral, cajole, and inspire business leaders across the country to mobilize the "arsenal of democracy" that propelled the Allies to victory in World War II. Drafting top talent from companies like Chrysler, Republic Steel, Boeing, Lockheed, GE, and Frigidaire, Knudsen and Kaiser turned auto plants into aircraft factories and civilian assembly lines into fountains of munitions. In four short years they transformed America's army from a hollow shell into a truly global force, laying the foundations for the country's rise as an economic as well as military superpower. Freedom's Forge vividly re-creates American industry's finest hour, when the nation's business elites put aside their pursuit of profits and set about saving the world. Praise for Freedom's Forge "A rarely told industrial saga, rich with particulars of the growing pains and eventual triumphs of American industry . . . Arthur Herman has set out to right an injustice: the loss, down history's memory hole, of the epic achievements of American business in helping the United States and its allies win World War II."--The New York Times Book Review"Magnificent . . . It's not often that a historian comes up with a fresh approach to an absolutely critical element of the Allied victory in World War II, but Pulitzer finalist Herman . . . has done just that."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A compulsively readable tribute to 'the miracle of mass production.' "--Publishers Weekly
"The production statistics cited by Mr. Herman . . . astound."--The Economist
" A] fantastic book."--Forbes
"Freedom's Forge is the story of how the ingenuity and energy of the American private sector was turned loose to equip the finest military force on the face of the earth. In an era of gathering threats and shrinking defense budgets, it is a timely lesson told by one of the great historians of our time."--Donald Rumsfeld

Personal experience welded together with history and logic.
Format: Kindle
I heard Randy Clark's name come up on a YouTube video of Bill Johnson's teaching. When I saw that this book was available on the Christian Author's Network on Facebook, I had to have a copy. I love the way Mr. Clark boldly lays out the different beliefs among people groups concerning healing. The way that he pulls together the questions all of us think concerning why some people are healed and others are not is so enlightening. His honesty and sincerity make the reading so easy to jump into. He does not condemn anyone for their beliefs, and is quick to lay out his own questions and answers as well as his own unanswered questions about healing. And the main attraction of this book to me is that it is all scripturally-based. In my opinion, Mr. Clark welds together the logical scientific train of thought with the undeniable Word of God. This is a great book full of personal experience, history and in-depth study of the scriptures concerning healing and how to receive a personal breakthrough and to be a conduit for the Holy Spirit to flow through for the healing of others. Great, anointed book!

Clear, Readable, Informative, Biblical, and Practical
Format: Kindle
This is one of the best guides to what healing ministry is all about. Clark covers a plethora of biblical, theological, and practical aspects of healing: objections, testimonies, questions, various schools of thought, and the mystery of some being healed and others not. Clark writes well and both those with theological degrees (like myself) and those relatively new to Christianity should be able to get something out of this book. I especially appreciate his irenic tone and his stalwart rejection of the dreadful notion that God wills suffering. I can’t think of a better introduction to healing ministry than this. Equal to, yes, but not better.

This writer lives it, what others only dream about. Let it become real in your life.
Format: Kindle
Good solid teaching. He is a great expert on this kind of thing. It does get academic as he refers and quotes papers he had to do in his research. I got a lot of good teaching and insights from a man who is doing the Jesus stuff.

This is a GOOD book
Format: Paperback
I really enjoy everything from Randy Clark. I love that it’s taught coming from love, not super aggressive or “weird”. The book is great for people getting into healing ministry and those fully involved.

An excellent guide to healing
Format: Kindle
I am a pastor of a local church that is pursuing divine healing as a primary way of seeing the gospel of Jesus advance in the earth today. This book is an excellent guide and a "how to" manual to see increased healing in a congregational setting. I am asking several of my church leaders to read it so we can apply the principles in our local church and mission trip settings. (Btw, I have personally received two significant healings through Randy Clark's ministry as he was practicing the methods described in this book in a conference setting.)
For those wanting to see more of the miraculous as part of their gospel ministry, this is an excellent "read, study, and think" book that will help you move from point A to B in your journey to see and experience more.
