Overview
Finding Our Way Home: Heartwarming Stories That Ignite Our Spiritual Core
In a deeply heartfelt way, Jerry Jampolsky and Diane Cirincione share stories of their spiritual journey, detours they’ve taken, and people who have impacted them along their life trail. Using the Hawaiian tradition of "talking story,” Jerry and Diane demonstrate the daily application of spiritual principles and practical spirituality.
Individually and together, they weave their journey for us as it continues to evolve from the influences around them. They inspire us to embrace and share our own stories of peaks and valleys that make up our journeys.
The authors’ honest and vulnerable style of communicating continues to reveal their life purposes in the choices they make and the lessons they’ve learned. "Each day still provides challenges and circumstances that call to those parts of us that want to judge others or ourselves,” they write. "What is different now is that we more quickly recognize when we’re lost and the choice we have to return to the path of unconditional love.
Once we remember that our purpose is service and helping others, as well as letting go of our judgments and grievances by practicing forgiveness, the path is easier, the direction clearer, and the destination of peace achievable.”

Finishing Strong Going the Distance f...
Overview
Bestselling author Steve Farrar has good news for the average man: it doesn't matter if you've had a great start in the Christian life, or a rough one. It doesn't matter if you've stumbled time and again, or even fallen flat on your face.

Finishing Strong, now in trade paperback, offers lively use of Scripture, contemporary illustrations, and study questions to equip every reader to be that exception. For the man who wants to climb the character ladder more than the corporate one, this is an essential tool.

The Greatest Miracle in the World
Dreaming Big
Overview
Dreaming big helps readers define their 'Life Dream' and experience an entirely new level of natural energy.
Co-authored by Bobb Biehl and Paul Swets, Dreaming Big describes a Life Dream as a crystal clear vision of the difference the reader wants to make in the future—a vision so compelling that it energizes for a lifetime.
Not everyone has a big dream. Many don't know how to clear away the fog and confusion in their lives. Some are afraid to dream for fear their dreams will not come true. Others become content with mediocrity. Consequently, their work suffers. They go about their responsibilities without vision, without enthusiasm and without an eagerness to solve problems, without hope.
Dreaming Big understands where readers are and helps them grow past the barriers that hold them back. It takes them on a 31 day personal growth journey. Each of the five weeks focuses on practical strategies that motivate positive change.
1. Discovering Your Dream
2. Refining your dream
3. Living Your Dream
4. Teaching your team to dream
5. Encouraging your team
Each chapter is interactive. Readers are encouraged to think deeply about their lives by answering profound questions and jotting down their thoughts. Heart Probes at the end of every chapter help the reader to look within, sort through any confusion and gain clarity. Instead of merely telling readers to dream big, it shows them how.
Biehl and Swets help the reader to excel, to live on the edge of their potential, to be the best person they can be. Helen Keller's quote summarizes the theme of Dreaming Big: "One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar."

How Google Works
Overview
Both Eric Schmidt and Jonathan Rosenberg came to Google as seasoned Silicon Valley business executives, but over the course of a decade they came to see the wisdom in Coach John Wooden's observation that 'it's what you learn after you know it all that counts'.
As they helped grow Google from a young start-up to a global icon, they relearned everything they knew about management. How Google Works is the sum of those experiences distilled into a fun, easy-to-read primer on corporate culture, strategy, talent, decision-making, communication, innovation, and dealing with disruption.
The authors explain how the confluence of three seismic changes - the internet, mobile, and cloud computing - has shifted the balance of power from companies to consumers. The companies that will thrive in this ever-changing landscape will be the ones that create superior products and attract a new breed of multifaceted employees whom the authors dub 'smart creative'.
The management maxims ('Consensus requires dissension', 'Exile knaves but fight for divas', 'Think 10X, not 10%') are illustrated with previously unreported anecdotes from Google's corporate history.' Back in 2010, Eric and I created an internal class for Google managers,' says Rosenberg. 'The class slides all read 'Google confidential' until an employee suggested we uphold the spirit of openness and share them with the world. This book codifies the recipe for our secret sauce: how Google innovates and how it empowers employees to succeed.'

Mastering the Globalization of Business
Overview
The book is designed to provide a basic understanding of the dynamics of globalization and its relevance for all types and sizes of business.
Commencing with a brief history that shows that globalization is not just a late Twentieth and early Twenty-first-century phenomenon but has been a factor in world trade since the 1600s, the text then considers the two opposing views held about globalization.
The material goes on to look at the global implications for customer relationships, marketing, human resources, finance and information. These are areas in which a narrow, national view is becoming increasingly of less value to the student. The book includes questions and case studies to aid understanding.

A Textbook of Production Technology
Advanced Economics Theory and Practice
Overview
This book examines all essential aspects of economics, viz. demand and supply, inflation, deflation, stagflation, economic development etc. There is, however; no dearth of literature on the subject. Some of the books on the subject deal with particular aspects of the economics, while others are in the form of lectures delivered by eminent economists from time to time.
There are very few books written in the textbook style. But they are mostly accidental in nature. In certain cases their approach and presentation is abstract and difficult. This book like many other books on the subject has been written under the conviction that is possible to improve upon the textbooks that are already in hand. What the author of this present textbook claims is not the originally but the simplicity and clarity of presentation.
I have endeavored to present the subject in lucid and intelligible manner as possible as in oriental settings. Clear presentation and further stimulation of interest in this very important field of study has been a motivating force behind the writing of this book
