The requirement is that Third Testament principles be understood and applied such as God's New Name. This is a newly revealed Bible-based faith emphasizing advanced secular values. The underlying beliefs have been discovered in Israel from a POST Judeo-Christian reality.

Picture sitting in front of a rustic cabin overlooking a shimmering lake. The sun begins to set, lighting the sky on fire. "It doesn't get any better..."smack"...darn bugs!"

Death is discovered on an idyllic Southern California island when feisty British tabloid reporter Tosca Trevant arrives from Cornwall. Banished from her royal beat by Buckingham Palace she stumbles across human remains in the garden of a renowned music professor. Facing danger twice over, she sleuths with the help of a retired Secret Service Agent who harbors his own secrets, and a few well-chosen Cornish cusswords. Tosca brings her knowledge of classical music and rare medieval instruments to sort out the clues and solve the puzzle in traditional Agatha Christie style.

Murders, a mysterious gemstone, and lost manuscripts offer banished British reporter Tosca Trevant a chance to earn her way back to her beloved Cornwall and her job in London. The strange events and characters at her new California island home include a woman dropping dead practically at Tosca's feet, a famous author's lost manuscripts, and a creepy collector of rare stringed instruments. With her sidekick, an ex-Secret Service Agent, and several jugs of home-brewed mead, she digs deep to track down the killer.

YOU CAN'T BE IN A RACE, SILLY.PIGGY BANKS JUST HOLD CHANGE.HERE, I'LL GIVE YOU MY TWO CENTS TO GET YOU STARTED. From the award-winning author behind My Pants comes Two Cents, a heart-warming story about a piggy bank who wants more out of life than coins. In aisle six of the local toystore lives an energetic piggy bank named Koppig. Contrary to his stereotype, Koppig does not like to sit and hold change. He loves to run. When Koppig overhears talk of a triathlon happening in aisle seven, he decides to compete. Unfortunately, the other toys are not too fond of their piggy bank competitor, leading to a recurring speech about what piggy banks are supposed to do. This personified version of the American idiomatic expression gives readers an education in communication and self-assurance. Kohr's storytelling (credited as "Sigur") paired with Fisk's child-friendly paintings make Two Cents a classic in the making. Koppig learns that not all "two cents" are worth the weight. REVIEWS"It is an amazing book and a work that [Nicole] put alot of thought into. The story is a portrait of her own determination and courage of which I have witnessed over the years. Koppig, the main character, is a self-determined young man. His courage to finish the race reminds me of Nicole's. Every child needs to read this book." - William "Bill" Grippo, Principal of MacAfee Road School Will you give us your TWO CENTS?

Has retirement failed to bring the joy you expected? If so, you're not alone. Approximately 10,000 baby boomers retire daily, and most have trouble adjusting to retirement because they were unprepared for the loss of identity and purpose their job offered. Once retired, they may feel unfulfilled and suffer from PMS (Post-Work Melancholy Syndrome). Dr. James Bash understands this situation. After retiring, he felt disappointed and drained. He scoured the current literature for a cure, but found nothing that would fully revitalize him. He decided to write his own book and began exploring what makes retirement satisfying-why for some these are the fabled golden years. Now he shares what he learned through his research, personal experience, and the advice of his many retired patients. In Prescription for a Happy Retirement, Dr. Bash teaches readers how to: - Analyze the causes of their Post-Work Melancholy Syndrome - Plan for retirement if they're still working - Understand the difference between what they want and what they need in retirement - Increase their self-esteem by building an identity independent of their work persona - Create a new social life, routines, and sense of meaning for their days - Engage in lifelong activities and learning - Care for themselves physically so retirement is long-lasting and enjoyable When you retire, it can feel like your spark has been extinguished, which can lead to sadness. With Dr. Bash's prescription, you'll reignite your spark and help light up the world.

'Aren't wedding coordinators supposed to prevent that sort of thing?' queried Carol. This is the question that greeted wedding coordinator Belle Saint James when she was waylaid by a group of women at the conclusion of a talk about her business at the local Ladies Auxiliary. Belle has been haunted by what happened at Janelle and Scott's wedding. Between the wedding ceremony and the reception, the bridegroom disappeared. He was there one minute, and gone the next! She was as surprised as everyone else. Was there anything she could have done to prevent it? Had she done the right thing when she involved her lover; Vietnam veteran, ex-policeman, and now Private Investigator, Marcel Smith in locating the missing bridegroom? Just how encompassing are the responsibilities of a wedding coordinator anyhow?

As a small boy, Darren Kiel was witness to his father's corruption and contemptible misconduct. As he grew, that experience gave rise to a seething need to atone for his father's crimes, to set the world aright, to enforce order. Now an adult, Darren is thrust into a world far more horrific than he could ever have imagined: The Orchard, a region inundated by crime, violence, poverty, decay, and desperation. With swelling intolerance, hardening resolve, and miraculous technology, Darren sets upon an obsessive crusade to correct what has gone wrong in this society's machine. As the campaign escalates, Darren sees the violence spread to every corner of his life and threaten or destroy everything he's worked for and everyone he holds dear. But is this truly Darren's war or is all this just a small part of a much larger design that he is only now beginning to glimpse?

HI! MY NAME IS OMI. I LIVE IN OUTER SPACE. I WISH I HAD A GLORBAL, BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE. From the award-winning author behind My Pants and Two Cents comes Water Your Human, a catchy rhyme with out-of-this-world illustrations. Omi is a young alien boy who dreams of owning a glorbal (pet). At the same time, his school tasked him with caring for a human named Karen. Omi hopes this will prove he can care for a glorbal... but how does one care for a human? This silly, light-hearted story is weirdly educational. Water Your Human is also a great reminder to practice empathy while caring for others. With eye-catching, brightly colored illustrations and told in verse, this is a cool story to read aloud. FUN for all ages (but best suited for ages 3-8). REVIEWS>"The theme is so fun! I love the colors and textures." "Oh my goodness, [Water Your Human] is so cute!" "Taking care of a pet can be tough. Especially if you've never done it before. Omi's hilarious adventures with his first one are totally relatable." "It's wonderful, bright, and colorful. A pleasure to read!" "I really like the activity pages at the end."

In this book, we hope to create for you an awareness of how daily conversations create, reveal, sustain, or change organizational culture. We explore the significant role culture has in facilitating healthy relationships and creating business results. Our premise is that true and lasting changes to organizational culture cannot occur unless people understand how traditional conversations stymie growth and erode commitment....We explore the issues rooted in questions such as: How does the organization move from a parent-child culture to an adult-adult culture? How can you recognize the damage caused by manipulative conversations? How can you learn to engage in authentic conversations based on collaboration and partnership? How do you eliminate traditional leadership conversations aimed at caretaking and control? How can you engage people in ways that value their knowledge, experience, and contribution? How can you create an organizational culture that maximizes the potential of the entire organization? These questions and others addressed in this book are relevant to all organizations accountable for results today and in the foreseeable future. ----Preface

The purpose of this book is to make it easy for you, the reader, to understand the four levels that I (Don) have developed, and to obtain practical help on how to apply any one or all of them. The book is intended as an addition to and not a replacement for the basic book, Evaluating Training Programs: The Four Levels, third edition. We have added three chapters and taken the forms, examples, and approaches from the basic book and inserted them into the appropriate chapters. For example, Chapter 3, ''Evaluating Level 1: Reaction, '' contains select reaction forms and approaches from the case studies in the basic book. The first chapter suggests how you can decide what to evaluate and at what levels. The answer, of course, is by analyzing the available resources. The second chapter tells you why and how to get managers on board. They can be very helpful in developing curriculum and are needed to provide support and accountability when trainees move from the classroom to the job. Also, you will need their help when you evaluate levels 3 and 4, where you have no authority, only influence. Chapters 3 - 6 provide guidelines and practical help for evaluating at each of the four levels. Finally, the last chapter, ''Building a Chain of Evidence, '' explains why it is necessary to evaluate all the levels in sequence and not try to measure results without first evaluating at the first three levels. This is the best way to demonstrate the value of training---- Preface

This book is the culmination of 15 years of research, teaching, and personal experience on the subject of self-made millionaires. These pages contain the key ideas and strategies I have discovered in reading hundreds of books and thousands of articles on the subject of wealth accumulation. The ideas and strategies are presented in a simple, tested, proven, easy-to-use format so that you can learn and apply them immediately. .... Why are some people more successful than others? I especially wanted to know, How is it that some people start off with nothing and eventually become millionaires? This question set me off on a search for the answers, which has led to this book. I chose self-made millionaires as my focal point because these people had demonstrated special qualities and behaviors that were both observable and measurable. They had started with nothing and passed the magic million-dollar mark as the result of doing certain things in a certain way, over and over.... These 21 ''success secrets'' are the keys to great success in every area of life, whether or not you make a lot of money. The good news is that these principles are so powerful that you can apply them to accomplish almost anything you really want. Many of these methods and techniques will seem familiar to you. This is because they have been discovered and rediscovered for hundreds of years. I see myself more as a student of success - a reader, a researcher, a synthesizer, and a teacher of great ideas - than as an originator or creator of brand new concepts. I believe, as it says in Ecclesiastes, ''There is nothing new under the sun.'' Since you are reading this book, I know that one of your great goals in life is to become an extraordinary person, to realize more and more of your true potential. Each of these success secrets will help you to move ahead more rapidly toward the wonderful life that is possible for you. Enjoy the journey! ----BRIAN TRACY

This is a book about powerful processes that impact organizations but usually remain unseen, unspoken, or unacknowledged. Collectively called covert processes, they include hidden agendas, blind spots, organizational politics, the elephant in the room, secret hopes and wishes, tacit assumptions, and unconscious dynamics. Although covert in their workings, these processes can be insidious in their impacts, often shaping outcomes without our fully realizing it.... In some ways this book can be seen as an extension of the pioneering work by organizational psychologist Ed Schein on process consultation, especially on the importance of being able to decipher hidden forces. "One of the most important functions of process consultation is to make visible that which is invisible" (1999, p.84). Toward that end, this book provides frameworks, principles, and practices that will be useful in diagnosing and addressing the hidden dynamics that can impact what you are doing and how it gets done. Although the ideas are grounded in a wide range of social science research and theory, there is little attention to definitions and literature reviews of specific theories or types of covert processes. A thematic bibliography is included for readers interested in exploring the ideas that helped shape the book. Finally, the book integrates all hidden dynamics instead of focusing on one or two. It asks and answers the question: What do all types of covert processes have in common and what can you do about them?

Tough problems usually don't get solved peacefully. They either don't get solved at all-they get stuck-or they get solved by force. These frustrating and frightening outcomes occur all the time. Families replay the same argument over and over, or a parent lays down the law. Organizations keep returning to a familiar crisis, or a boss decrees a new strategy. Communities split over a controversial issue, or a politician dictates the answer. Countries negotiate to a stalemate, or they go to war. Either the people involved in a problem can't agree on what the solution is, or the people with power-authority, money, guns-impose their solution on everyone else.....The way we talk and listen expresses our relationship with the world. When we fall into the trap of telling and of not listening, we close ourselves off from being changed by the world and we limit ourselves to being able to change the world only by force. But when we talk and listen with an open mind and an open heart and an open spirit, we bring forth our better selves and a better world. ---- From the Introduction
