Autorenporträt

From his commitment to Christ at age eight to adulthood, Robert faced various challenges contributing to the loss of his God-given identity. The cross, the power of the Holy Spirit, God's Word, and his wife's prayers led to his breakthrough and restoration. While a young adult pastor, Robert prepared a seven-week series called "Relocating God's Version of Me." Its success led to its evolvement into a book benefiting people everywhere. Robert has a bachelor's in biblical studies from Northpoint Bible College (formerly Zion Bible College) and a master of arts in education from St. John's University. He has been a teacher for over seventeen years. He and his wife currently serve as ministers at Living Hope International Church in Rhode Island.

Rezensionen

'This is an ambitious study, long in preparation, on the vast reach of multinational enterprises and on their importance in the transformation of the modern world economy. It draws on a formidable collection of individual company data, emphasizing the interactions between firms and diplomatic, military, and political, as well as economic history. It covers a wide range of multinational enterprises in agriculture and mining and services as well as in manufacturing. It is a fascinating work.' Mira Wilkins, Florida International University
