Book Description
Glenn Mangurian is living proof that coming to grips with a devastating event can make a person stronger. Paradoxically, weathering a serious challenge can make you feel more secure, not less, and better able to navigate future setbacks, writes inspirational speaker and management consultant Glenn Mangurian. He draws on decades of experience in helping business leaders achieve extraordinary performance improvements as well as his own galvanizing battle to rebuild his life after a spinal cord injury left him paralyzed. My life as I knew it ended on May 26, 2001. With no warning, one of my spinal discs ruptured. Despite two surgeries and months of rehabilitation, I was paralyzed from the waist down and permanently confined to a wheelchair. I was 52. Only a day earlier, I had been a happy, healthy, successful man in full charge of my life and career. The next day, I was a paraplegic in almost unbearable pain, stunned at my fate, enraged at my helplessness. I was scared to death. What next? If you’re still reading these words, here’s a promise: no self-pity. None. Zero. Nothing I say now or later means that I feel sorry for myself. At first, yes, but not for the past eight years. This is a celebration, not a lament. My story is all about rebounding, surviving a blow, recovering from adversity, spring (or in my case rolling) back into action.

Book Description
Four female musicians. Four hot heroes. Four sweet and sexy small-town romances. Each of the sweet and sexy small-town romances features a heartwarming love story filled with hope, healing, and found family friendship between the musicians of a Louisiana Cajun band. * * * * * 1 - SECOND FIDDLE FLIRT Music, heart, and Cajun charm. Lauren has only two days to practice for a shot at her dream gig. But when her sister’s best friend, Tyler, brings her shrimp and tasso tacos and that shy smile, she can’t resist the distraction. Tyler has been denying his crush on Lauren for years. Now that he’s alone with her, he can’t deny those feelings any longer. Lauren will have to banish her imposter syndrome and learn to trust her instincts again to get what she truly wants: her dream gig and Tyler. * * * * * 2 - SIX STRING SASS They only agreed to a fling, but Natalie's falling hard for the sound guy who pushes all her buttons. Guitar player Natalie is a full-time librarian rocking a broken heart, a night gig, and a daughter. The last thing this single mom needs is a relationship. Shane has a major aversion to all things complicated. But he's soon craving more than a Mardi Gras hookup with Nat, even if he isn’t ready to roll the dice on a serious relationship. * * * * * 3 - RIM SHOT REBOUND Working on this song together could bring Kelsey and Eric closer than ever or tear them—and the band—apart forever. Late nights and close quarters also make it difficult to hide drummer Kelsey's accidental pregnancy, but their painful history has her holding back the truth. Mr. Do-The-Right-Thing would step up in a heartbeat, but Kelsey refuses to settle for being someone's obligation. Bass player Eric can't erase their past or his mistakes. But thanks to this song, he now has an open door to earn Kelsey's trust and love again. For good this time. * * * * * 4 - SQUEEZE BOX BELLE Robin can handle things just fine as her band’s superhero. She doesn't need her ex-brother-in-law swooping in to save her. So why the heck does she want him to? Accordion player Robin is a master at managing her band, but she can’t control the weather… or her heart. While rain threatens to douse the band’s biggest gig to date, nothing can dampen her growing desire for the man she swore she’d never cross that line with: her ex-husband’s brother. Matt’s been living in his famous brother’s shadow all his life, and he’s used to not getting what he wants—including his brother’s ex. When he volunteers to do promo for her band, Matt can’t hide his feelings any longer.

Book Description
Rebound & Keep Moving! is the key that unlocks the Christian way of life. After salvation the sin nature remains a relentless adversary, tempting the believer to sin and live in carnality. When the believer sins, fellowship with God is destroyed, the filling of the Holy Spirit is temporarily lost, and spiritual progress ceases. Rebound is the simplest yet most incredible concept in the spiritual life. Rebound defeats sin. Guilt, anguish, remorse over past failures vanish knowing that God forgives and forgets all past sins. Rebound is our access to intimacy with the Lord, the gateway to divine power in our lives, our license to serve the Lord. Rebound opens the door to the wonderful freedom the grace of God offers to every believer in Jesus Christ.

Book Description
The current volume explores a variety of topical themes within the general field of religion -- defined as the search for the truth concerning the nature of one's relationship with Being/Reality. Among the topics explored are: Evolution, the origins of faith, conceptual viruses, suffering, irreligion, the new atheism, nihilism, sacredness, the nature of the self, mythology, Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, free will, epistemology, and spiritual abuse. All of the foregoing topics are critically examined against a backdrop that helps orient the discussion. More specifically, most human beings wonder, in one way or another, about the nature of reality ... that is, they seek to deal, as best they can, with the reality problem. The Final Jeopardy challenge refers to the task of trying to work toward providing a best-effort final response to the reality problem that resonates with, and reflects to varying degrees, the character of reality, before the sands in the hourglass of time run out in a person's life.
