Saturated in Scripture, the author also draws on interviews he conducted with successful managers and community leaders and shares lessons from working for stellar leaders during a long career in health care management and as a community activist. Arm yourself with timeless business lessons from the Word of God and earn lasting success with the lessons in Management & Leadership.

Tom Reed follows up on his earlier devotionals to highlight the Word of God in Whispers from the Mountain. The devotionals are short and saturated with references from Scripture and extensive commentary to help you walk with the Lord. The book begins by asking you to imagine that there is a knock on your door, and instead of an unwanted salesman or neighbor, it's God. He writes, "God often sent angels as messengers to convey an important message. The angel, Gabriel, was sent from God to visit a virgin named Mary, and coming in, he said to her, 'Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.'" (Luke 1:26-28) "Sometimes God talks directly to Man. God and Moses had their first conversation through a burning bush. God and the soon to be great prophet, Isiah, had a conversation without an angel or bush. Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, "Whom shall I send and who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here I am. Send me!" (IS 6:8). The emphasis of the book are the pillars of Christianity, with ten devotionals under each pillar. A tenth section titled "Stones" serves as a catch-all to recognize other potential pillars. By using this book in tandem with your personal Bible, you'll be encouraged to dig deeper into God's Word, paving the way to develop a stronger bond and closer relationship with Him.

For a Time We Were Titans is the memoir of an LRP/Ranger in Vietnam. It follows ten GIs from their arrival at the LRP compound in Ban Me Thuot in October 1968 to the authors return home in September 1969. It shows that those that last can grow from raw recruits, to Titans, leaders that serve as mentors and role models for those that came after them. This is the war as a LRP saw it. LRPs were the Long Range Patrol units that served as the eyes and ears of the infantry, who were dropped into enemy territory and given the responsibility of finding the hiding places of an elusive foe. It is not the story of massive battles and strategic operations, but rather depicts actual contacts between four and five man LRP Teams and unknown numbers of North Vietnamese or Vietcong.
