    She set out on a journey to get "back on track" with God when it came to eating and how she felt about herself. She laid food, exercise, and body image issues squarely at God's door and dove headfirst into His grace. As she prayed, read, studied Scripture, and listened she saw the invitations from God in the stories of her life. Melissa realized that food is not an afterthought for God--it is central in so many key biblical moments and invites us into His creation. Likewise, food is at the forefront of our society, as a topic of conversation and in our daily routines. Filled with heart-rending, hilarious, and eye-opening stories and anecdotes, Melissa shows us how food fuels far more than our bodies; it drives ministry and celebration, and connects us to one another and to God himself.

    . . [with] new information, photographs and first-hand accounts." --FlypastDuring the 1950s, plans were being drawn at North American Aviation in Southern California for an incredible Mach-3 strategic bomber. The concept was born as a result of General Curtis LeMay's desire for a heavy bomber with the weapon load and range of the subsonic B-52 and a top speed in excess of the supersonic medium bomber, the B-58 Hustler. However, in April 1961, Defense Secretary McNamara stopped the production go-ahead for the B-70 because of rapid cost escalation and the USSR's newfound ability to destroy aircraft at extremely high altitude using either missiles or the new Mig-25 fighter. Nevertheless, in 1963 plans for the production of three high-speed research aircraft were approved and construction proceeded. In September 1964 the first Valkyrie, now re-coded A/V-1, took to the air for the first time and in October went supersonic.This book is the most detailed description of the design, engineering and research that went into this astounding aircraft. It is full of unpublished details, photographs and firsthand accounts from those closely associated with the project. Although never put into full production, this giant six-engined aircraft became famous for its breakthrough technology, and the spectacular images captured on a fatal air-to-air photo shoot when an observing Starfighter collided with Valkyrie A/V-2 which crashed into the Mojave Desert."Well-illustrated with numerous diagrams and black and white photographs, the book provides an interesting insight into one of the so-called 'white elephant' projects of the 1960s." --Jets Monthly
