A Grief Observed – C. S. Lewis
At 58 years of age, resolute bachelor C.S. Lewis surprised himself by falling madly in love and getting married, joyously, blissfully married. Four years later his wife Joy died a painful death.

Step Into the Spotlight! – ‘Cause All Business Is Show Business! – Tsufit
In today’s culture, perhaps more than ever, what you say doesn’t get heard if you don’t know how to say it–that is, how to present yourself and your argument.

We’re never taught these things, and it shows. Tsufit gives specific ideas and examples, explains why they work, and how to adapt them. Step Into The Spotlight is a gem. It’s funny. It’s informative. It’s very readable, so read it.

Daniel: Lives of Integrity, Words of Prophecy – Beth Moore
Like any book of prophecy, Daniel can make your head spin as you try to put the pieces together. But with her usual great scholarship and humor, Moore sure makes you understand why people are talking about the imminent return of Jesus. You’ll either get excited or get your socks scared off, but you’ll understand how it goes. DVDs, too.




Maximize the Moment: God’s Action Plan For Your Life – T. D. Jakes
The fact T. D. Jakes is a successful businessman, as well as a successful evangelist and pastor, makes “Maximize the Moment” stand apart from many books about Christian living. It’s a double header: Worth the time because of the Christian message and equally worth the time for the success-in-business-and-life message. A bucketful of good information for all of life.

Bogle on Mutual Funds – John C. Bogle
