The Leader’s Code: Mission, Character, Service, and Getting the Job Done
₦4,000What does it take to be a great leader? In a word: character. This unique book by decorated U.S. Marine Corps veteran Donovan Campbell, the New York Times bestselling author of Joker One, draws on his years of training and combat experience to reveal the specific virtues that underpin effective leadership—and how anyone can stand up, serve others, and make a difference in the world by bringing out the best in a team.
The Leader’s Code is a practical action plan that can be applied to any situation in which exemplary leadership is required, whether that be at home or in the workplace. Moreover, The Leader’s Code unpacks the military servant-leader model—a leader must take care of his mission first, his team second, and himself a distant third—and explains why this concept of self-sacrifice is so needed in today’s world. Focusing on the development of character as the foundation of servant-leadership, Campbell identifies character’s six key attributes: humility, excellence, kindness, discipline, courage, and wisdom. Then, drawing on lessons from his time in the Corps and stories from history, Scripture, and American business, he shows us how to develop those virtues in order to take the helm with confidence, conviction, and a passion to bring out the best in others.Being a leader is about being worthy of being followed. True leaders, Campbell argues, foster compassion for others and they pursue excellence in all that they do. They are humble and know how to self-correct. Campbell’s exploration of these vital qualities is wide-ranging, as he takes us from the boardrooms of the world’s most successful companies to the Infantry Officer Course, the intense twelve-week training gauntlet that Marines use to prepare their leaders to sacrifice themselves for the welfare of others.
With faith in our political and business leaders at an all-time low, America is in the midst of a crisis of trust. Yet public opinion polls show that there is one institution that still commands widespread respect because of its commitment to character and sacrifice: the United States military. The Leader’s Code shows that this same servant-leader model can help us all become our best selves—and provide a way forward for our nation.

If Democrats Had Any Brains, They’d Be Republicans
₦4,000Uttering lines that send liberals into paroxysms of rage, otherwise known as citing facts, is the spice of life. When I see the hot spittle flying from their mouths and the veins bulging and pulsing above their eyes, well, that s when I feel truly alive.
So begins If Democrats Had Any Brains, They d Be Republicans, Ann Coulter s funniest, most devastating, and, yes, most outrageous book to date.
Coulter has become the brightest star in the conservative firmament thanks to her razor-sharp reasoning and biting wit. Of course, practically any time she opens her mouth, liberal elites denounce Ann, insisting that She s gone too far! and hopefully predicting that this time it will bring a crashing end to her career.
Now you can read all the quotes that have so outraged her enemies and so delighted her legions of fans. More than just the definitive collection of Coulterisms, If Democrats Had Any Brains, They d Be Republicans includes dozens of brand-new commentaries written by Coulter and hundreds of never-before-published quotations. This is Ann at her best, covering every topic from A to Z. Here you ll read Coulter s take on:
Her politics: As far as I m concerned, I m a middle-of-the-road moderate and the rest of you are crazy.
Hillary Clinton: Hillary wants to be the first woman president, which would also make her the first woman in a Clinton administration to sit behind the desk in the Oval Office instead of under it.
The environment: God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It s yours.
Religion: It s become increasingly difficult to distinguish the pronouncements of the Episcopal Church from the latest Madonna video.
Global warming: The temperature of the planet has increased about one degree Fahrenheit in the last century. So imagine a summer afternoon when it s 63 degrees and the next thing you know it s . . . 64 degrees. Ahhhh!!!! Run for your lives, everybody! Women and children first!
Gun control: Mass murderers apparently can t read, since they are constantly shooting up gun-free zones.
Bill Clinton: Bill Clinton s library is the first one to ever feature an Adults Only section.
Illegal aliens: I am the illegal alien of commentary. I will do the jokes that no one else will do.
If Democrats Had Any Brains, They d Be Republicans is a must-have for anyone who loves (or loves to hate) Ann Coulter. -

A Treasury of Sacred Maxims: Commentary on Legal Principles
₦4,000This inspiring collection of sacred maxims is drawn from the genre known in Arabic as al-qawa‘id al-fiqhiyyah.
These maxims are pithy sayings that Islamic scholars use as a guide for Islamic practice in a wide range of areas, from the rituals of worship to financial transactions.
Though technically translated as “legal maxims”, the array of topics these maxims cover encompass the core ethical principles at the heart of the Shariah.
Given its concision, each maxim is rich in meaning, and the commentary provided by Dr Shahrul Hussain gives us a glimpse into the maxim’s significance.
The commentaries, written by a Western Islamic scholar, bring out the relevance of each maxim to the English speaking reader.
This latest instalment in Kube’s Treasury Series in Islamic Thought and Civilisation, will help deepen the understanding of key aspects of Shariah in its legal and ethical dimensions.
Each maxim has three elements which will be discussed:
1) The intellectual coinage of the juristic maxim.
2) Its legal justification (hujjiyah), and
3) Its moral philosophy.
Each maxim will be explained, followed by examples of how it is applied in Islamic law.
The Hujjiyah of the maxim will be discussed and concluded by discussing the moral message the maxim gives.
