If you think it’s getting harder to both make a living and make a life, economist and former secretary of labor Robert Reich agrees with you. Americans may be earning more than ever before, but we’re paying a steep price: we’re working longer, seeing our families less, and our communities are fragmenting. With the clarity and insight that are his hallmarks, Reich delineates what success has come to mean in our time. He demonstrates that although we have more choices as consumers, and investors, the choices themselves are undermining the rest of our lives.

Pursuing the "good life," as defined by the world, comes at a cost. We'll never find "more" or "better" traveling a road that deviates from God's will. But hope can be found even in the deepest pits we dig for ourselves, and that is what you'll find in Rebuilding the Ruins of Regret. In this candid, personal account of the harrowing consequences that followed a series of life-altering decisions, Dr. Finley boldly confronts the illusion of finding happiness in the pursuit of pleasure and leads us on a journey of self-forgiveness and course correction.

No matter what you have done, no matter what has been done to you, no matter how life may have locked up your joy, no matter what, you can be set free. To the extreme I was thrown down, I am lifted up; to the extreme I was rejected, I am embraced; to the extreme I was lost, I am found. My heart was set free by a God, who gives us everything the world cannot give. I thank him every day. This is my story.

Genesis is the first book of the 39 books in the Old Testament. It reveals the beginning of all creation: the heavens, the earth, life and all mankind.

Broken your New Year’s resolutions? Using our failures rather than ignoring them, Peter Shaw draws on Christian traditions and his experience as a life coach to create a spiritually sound strategy for moving forwards. Why are we so afraid of failure? Why has it become something that we ignore and distance ourselves from as quickly as possible, rather than accepting it as part of our life experience, and something that we can build on?

The book of Revelation was written for those going through difficult times. The first readers of this biblical book were experiencing a wave of persecution in the Roman world. To follow the Christian faith was to experience opposition. Renown Bible teacher and prophecy expert, Dr. Michael Youssef, believes twentieth-first century Christians are experiencing a similar wave of hostility in our culture.

Our challenge in moving forward is most likely found in our past. How do we overcome the trauma we’ve experienced? The Bible offers answers, and surprisingly, so does neuroscience. Chaplain, pastor, and crisis intervention counselor Tony Portell shares how neuroscience is bringing fresh light to the teachings of the Bible. By understanding how the brain works, we can overcome the wounds of our past.

How should I invest? What should I invest in? What is safe, and what is too risky? If these questions keep you awake at night, you're not the only one. Many investors struggle to find the "right" way to build their investment portfolios safely and profitably. The truth is that there is no single right way to invest. However, there is a right way to invest for you.

And people are demanding something so much different in leaders of today. Like a new house outfitted with the greatest VHS system on the planet, too many leaders are addressing today's problems with the style and substance of yesterday's leadership. In this book, Clay Scroggins uncovers nine counterintuitive axioms of leadership that will help leaders adapt to the rate of change while becoming today's version of a leader worth following.

The future is the great unknown. While we may think we have a pretty good idea about what might happen in certain situations, such as when two sports teams play and one is heavily favored over the other, we cant be sure upsets occurthats why they play the game. Many future scenarios are much more serious, of course, and can produce nervousness, stress, or fear.
